Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Very disappointing.......2004-03-09

I heard Deep Purple for the first time back in 1973 or so, when I was 12 and an older cousin got a bootleg eight-track of "Fireball." I've loved the band ever since. So this CD was a big disappointment. The vocals are shrill, the performances are phoned in, and the overall production is muddy and unsatisfying. I listened to this CD all the way through once, really trying to force myself to like it. No use. This CD is one to avoid.

3 out of 5 stars Tommy Bolin-he died...........................2003-03-04

This CD is the Long Beach stuff after Japan. He did pretty good on this Deep Purple music. He died soon after Long Beach. Come Taste The Band. I wish Tommy was still around!.............

1 out of 5 stars Not Their Best.......2002-12-18

Long-time DP fans will be disappointed at this remarkably sloppy set from Coverdale, Bolin, Hughes, Lord, and Paice, a talented lineup captured on a particularly bad night. It sounds as if the band were all too tired or drunk to play competently. David Coverdale's vocals are consistently off, as are those of Glenn Hughes. Tommy Bolin does not handle Blackmore's riffs well at all, and even the (usually) superb rhythm section of Jon Lord and Ian Paice turn in substandard performances. There are songs which are very badly played, particularly "Smoke on the Water" and "Highway Star", which inexplicably appears in two versions, both of which are played atrociously. Additionally, the inclusion of "Georgia on My Mind" is a mystery, as it isn't really DP's kind of song, and is also played horribly. There is an extended guitar solo by Tommy Bolin (misspelled as "Tomy" on the back cover), but this is nothing more than an exercise in pure tedium, with Bolin seemingly striking the strings at random. In all, it is a bargain-priced disc, but hardly a bargain when one considers the dreadful performances contained therein. This one is worth owning only as a curiosity, and is far from being a worthy document from one of DP's least-known lineups. Unless Rod Evans' bogus DP recorded anything during their mercifully short career in the early 80's, this one stands as the worst DP set ever.

2 out of 5 stars Good price, bad performances.......2002-03-28

I have been an avid admirer of Deep Purple from the beginning, and have always had great respect for the talents of Ian Paice, Jon Lord, David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, and the late Tommy Bolin. However, despite the superb aggregation of talent here, the performances on this disc are dreadful. The boys must have been seriously intoxicated for this set. Depite his admirable talents as a guitarist, Tommy Bolin seems not quite able to properly handle Ritchie Blackmore's riffs. Similarly, David Coverdale fails to do justice to Ian Gillan's material, and is frequently out of tune and/or key. Glenn Hughes, himself a good vocalist, pops up frequently with screeches and howls, usually at the wrong times; in fact, Coverdale and Hughes just can't seem to get their voices synchronized at all. It gets so bad that even Ian Paice, arguably the steadiest drummer since Charlie Watts, gets sloppy from time to time, and the staunch Jon Lord sounds somewhat lost at times.

The track selection is also a mystery; in fact, it's downright ludicrous. There are two renditions of "Highway Star," but neither is particularly good, "Georgia on My Mind" doesn't really belong here (or on any DP album), and "I'm Going Down," although a fine song, was pretty shopworn by this time, a musical cliche; they also manage to mangle Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away." The track entitled "Tomy [sic] Bolin" contains too much aimless noodling and quickly becomes an exercise in tedium. The worst track of all, however, is the horrible rendition of "Smoke on the Water," which is so poorly executed that it would embarrass a teenage garage band. Between the discordant vocals and the hackneyed instrumental work, this track is virtually unlistenable. The notation on the back cover should be changed from "Recorded Live" to "Recorded Dead Drunk".

Although it is hardly a classic, it is somewhat interesting as an historical document of one of the lesser-known DP lineups. The performances are lousy, but the price makes it slightly more palatable.

2 out of 5 stars BURN!!!.......2001-11-07

These definately are not great performances at all. David Coverdale is a great singer, and I like Glenn Hughes and Tommy Bolin as well. However on this set they are absolutely, regretfully awful. These guys must have been waisted. A rather poor performance by such a talented team.

I can't decide with version of "Highway Star" is worse, "This Time Around" should have been left off, and I can't understand this infatuation with "Georgia On My Mind", it appears on every Deep Purple live album during the Tommy Bolin era right after "Smoke On The Water". I think the only song that I could tolerate is "I'm Going Down"; maybe "Lady Luck" as well.
