Deep Purple

[Engels]

I remember being confused hearing a radio announcer say and here is the latest single from Donny and Marie Osmond with Deep Purple... quickly realised it was not the most unlikely collaboration you might ever hear but just a song title

I was in the audience on 15 March 1976 at the Liverpool Empire when they played their last concert

Me too... my first gig

Saw them in 1974 on the Burn tour, Preston Guildhall I think it was...In Rock was one of my first ever albums, alongside Focus III and Close To The Edge

Inspired by this thread I thought I’d give Made In Japan a spin. Wow! Thrilling stuff, just how a live album should be.

Yes, it was also only my second venture to that venue after witnessing Blue Oyster Cult there in October 1975 - saying that I had a few Stadium gigs under my belt by then.

Best instruction to the mix desk ever

Machine Head certainly one of my favourite albums and always have to 'crank it up' for Lazy! Made in Japan definitely a classic.
I'm not normally one for cover versions but bought and really enjoy 'Re-Machined' a tribute to.

Manchester Free Trade Hall ‘72 or ‘73. The “classic” line-up. I was way up “in the Gods” and it was still bl**dy loud!

Remind me, is that from MIJ or MIE?

MIJ

Before Lazy?

edit: nope wrong - just got the iPod out.........must be at the end of a track, SKoW perhaps? Wrong again.....buqqer, I’m just going to have to listen to the whole album!

Regarding MIE, I only recently got hold of it. I’m wondering whether it’s tha same concert that I recorded off the radio one Xmas in the seventies while at my Auntie Flo’s.

Yep, MIJ & The Song Remains The Same are two great live recordings, followed closely by Yessongs, Live Dates, Space Ritual, BJH Live, Welcome Back My Friends.... etc etc.....

Phenomenal music in those early seventies!

A great way to spend the evening

(Check out ‘The Mule’ if you’re short of time)

In Rock was played to death. Loved it at the time but took years to recover
