| Aviva International and Direct Video Distribution are delighted
to announce a 19 August DVD and VHS release date for a phenomenal live
performance by the legend that is Deep Purple. Recorded at the Sunrise Theatre
in Florida, 'Perihelion' showcases
screaming guitar riffs, screeching vocals, brilliant keyboards, dynamic drumming
and amusing stage antics that constitute a signature Purple show - and a
remarkable concert experience.
Released to coincide with the group's eagerly awaited UK Tour this September
and the recording of a new studio album, 'Deep Purple: Perihelion' features
no less than 14 brilliant tracks, among them the monster hits Hush, Woman
From Tokyo and of course the enduring Smoke On the Water, which perhaps more
than any other track positioned Deep Purple among Rock's elite.
Featuring Ian Gillan on vocals, Roger Glover on bass, Jon Lord on keyboards,
Steve Morse on guitar and Ian Paice on drums,
'Perihelion' is a remarkable souvenir
of an unforgettable night.

This additional information I received from very
nice Sara of the promotion company:
The release holds the complete show of June 5th,
2001, at the Sunrise Theater in Florida. The DVD also has behind the scenes
footage of 13:34 minutes and interviews of 26:36 minutes. |
| Formed in 1968, the band's early line-up consisted of Rod
Evans (vocals), Nick Simper (bass), Jon Lord (keyboards), Ritchie Blackmore
(guitar) and Ian Paice (drums). After the release of their debut album, Shades
Of Deep Purple, they scored their first success with two covers: Joe South's
Hush and Neil Diamond's Kentucky Woman.
After the lukewarm reception that greeted the release of Concerto For
Group and Orchestra, Blackmore took creative control of the band, steering
it towards a heavier, guitar-dominated sound. The gamble worked and Deep
Purple saw success with 1972's multi-platinum classic Machine Head which
reached the Top 10 and produced the hit single Smoke On the Water. However,
the mid-'70s saw major shifts in the band, including the departure of Gillan,
who later joined Black Sabbath, and his replacement by David Coverdale.
The changes took their toll and following a farewell tour, the group dissolved
in 1976.
The classic line-up of Blackmore, Gillan, Lord, Glover and Paice reunited
Deep Purple in 1984 for a new album, the platinum smash Perfect Strangers.
Despite numerous subsequent upheavals, the band remains alive and well
in the 21st century.
