The most interesting part about this
piece are the jams and the unplugged KOD version. Joe Lynn and Roger in a
radio studio, just great. That alone is worth buying the CD, although I'm
not a real admirer of the MK V era.... |

The first song (which they called I'm
a racer) is nothing else but Emmaretta. The recording seems to be taken from
a vinyl record, you can hear some cracks. Speed King has backing vocals and
piano lines that you don't find on the regular cut. What they call Ricochet
is actually "Kneel And Pray", the early version of Speed King, with had different
vocals to SK. The end of the song is cut off. Actually these three pieces
seem to be the very same recordings than on the
"Tour De Force" CD. Nevertheless,
the sound quality is very good.
Same goes for the next section, the live recordings
from London, very good sound quality. "Highway Star" has a slightly different
solo. I don't know where they took this from, but SKOW *skips* at one
spot, like an old vinyl (but there's no scratching though), I have no clue.....
Ian and Ritchie are doing the legandary "duel" here. Between these two songs
there's no cut, so they must be from the same gig. SOTW is definitely taken
from a vinyl record, you can't miss the scratches and bumps. Ritchie is having
little problems with his solo. Some nice extra organ/guitar duel at the end.
"Never Before" sounds brilliant and fresh. There's no cut between "Leo" and
"Lazy". "Lucille" is pretty nice and powerful. It could be taken from a radio
broadcast, because at the fade out you can hear something that sounds like
a DJ speaking.
The second CD has the MK IV stuff. There's a lot of
riddles about that, too. The cover says the first songs were from Zürich,
Switzerland. But, according to all the info I have, this line up has never
played in Zürich. They did some gigs in Australia, New Zealand, Asia,
then did an extensive leg in the U.S. before they went back to GB where they
disbanded March 15th, when David retired in tears, on stage. Anyway, I can't
clear that up. The sound of this section is excellent. My guess is that this
is from the very same gig as the Burn EP which came as an extra with the
"Last Concert In Japan (and an LP called "Highway Star" as well - btw, some
of the MK II could also be from this LP, I have to check and compare them
one day). "Georgia" is definitely the same as on this bonus EP. The whole
section is obviously from the same gig; there's no cuts. The first cut is
before "Burn", but soundwise, it's most likely still the same gig.
The next section is claimed to be from Houston. If
this is true, it would be Feb. 22, 1976, Sam Huston Collisseum. Some doubts
are appropriate here too. It sounds too similar to the "Last Concert" record
to me, at least YKOM. "Lady Luck" seems to be from a different source, the
sound is different. Mistreated is obviously taken from a vinyl again. If
their cover notes would be true, that all this is from that gig in Houston,
this would make Tommy the guitar player but it sounds a lot like Ritchie
to me.....
Don't take me wrong, I don't want to write this bootleg
down, the sound is great and it is interesting, just it's hard to tell what
the sources are. I don't trust the cover notes.
The CD box also holds a 12 page booklet with
images. |

Audience recording, a little hollow,
but okay. Very nice job of Steve's on WABMC. Nice guitar/organ duel on Speed
King. The cover says "+Bonus Tracks". Those are Perfect Strangers and
Hey Cisco. I don't know why they didn't just list them on the tracklist....
They seem to be from the same gig. I wonder what happened
to Highway Star though. I doubt they didn't play it that night.
It used to be the "night cap" on that tour. A better quality boot from
that tour is Purple Rose Of
Hanau. |

Definitely the wrong information on the cover. This
cannot be from April 1973, since Roger and Ian were still in the band at
that time, but here we hear Coverdale and Hughes. Nevermind that Stormbringer
was far from even been written...... The same stuff (and same wrong information)
like on Star Storm. |

This is another pretty questionable
piece. The cover says it was from April 15, 1973, Long Beach, CA. The cover
also claims it was Ritchie playing. At least that's true for the second part,
starting with the organ improvisation, but the first songs are definitely
Tommy Bolin. Still the date can't be correct, since we hear Coverdale singing,
but at the claimed date Ian was still in the band. The sound quality of the
first part (Bolin) is excellent, although Tommy's peformance isn't. The second
part (Blackmore) seems to be taken from a vinyl piece, you can hear the cracks.
The sound of this part is weaker than the beginning. Both performances sound
familiar to me, just I haven't figured out yet where they're from. Although
the piece is pretty rare, it's not a must-have. Both gigs are definitely
available elsewhere. |

This one is horrible !! No, not just
because of the singer..... It sounds like the recording was made at the restroom
at the other end of the hallway. No kidding, it sounds like the guy who taped
it wasn't even inside the hall. The drums are almost not noticeable, so is
the guitar most of the times, and no bass at all. A complete waste of money

Soundwise the thing is pretty good, but
Gillan's voice..... pitiable husky that night. Although, the audience is
wild, most likely because they haven't seen Purple in their country for ages....
and, too be fair, the other guys are doing a great job. Still, if you haven't
been at this very gig and therefore need it as a souvenir, you don't want
to spend your money on this piece, there are way better ones out there from
this period. |

Well, what kind of sound quality can
you expect from a 1971 bootleg recording, you might say. But this one isn't
half as bad as one might think. Okay, the vocals are a bit weak in the mix,
but the overall sound is at least very clear, no fluttering, and the guitar
and organ, especially when soloing, sound really good. Nice duel during Speed
King. Very extensive and unusual inprovisation on Child In Time (the clock
stops at 17:20). On Into The Fire Ritchie is a bit out of tune and timing...
but Mandrake Root holds some very nice improvisation again, especially from
Jon. Ritchie's feedback effects are maybe not everybody's taste, but he got
the viola sound even back then. (The clock stops at 23:00 - but the last
five minutes are rather weird....) The show (or let's say the CD - I don't
know if this holds the complete gig) is way shorter that the one three days
later in Offenbach, but anyway,
I must say, this is a surprisingly good piece, according to it's time. I
think it's worth a ----> |

There is a bunch
of differences to the European setlist that we know from other bootlegs of
the Satch era. They did play "Black Night" between Ramshackle and Leo, which
was dropped in Europe (why?!) and "A Twist In The Tail" was replaced by
"Fireball" later. Anyway, the set here is different, "Child In Time" is (still)
on it, so is "Hush", both of which we didn't get to hear in Europe.
Well, therefore we have them on this CD....
The sound is superb ! So is the performance, if you
liked Satch in the band. I mean, he is a great guitarist, his style is just
not my taste. Jon, of course, is mostly carrying the gig, he is super-present
all the time, since Satch is new to the songs. But he's doing a good job
and this one is a great boot, though. Even big Ian is in good shape, his
"Child" performance is surprisingly good, so is the rest of the gig.

The quality of this one is rather weak.
And that's not only a matter of the bootlegger, no, the sound of the guitar
is badly adjusted and the band's performance, namely Tommy's and Glenn's,
is besides any discussion. Tommy's squealing on the guitar is awkward, so
is Glenn's "surfing" on the neck of his instrument, or whatever else he's
doing there. His vocal parts are... I don't know... just embarrassing sometimes.
Best evidence is "Gettin' Tighter", which is a parody in my opinion. Even
Jon can't save that gig. What a shame - well, we all know the reasons...
Maybe you don't wanna hear that "drama", although it's of course a document
of the problems they had back then. |
