Pass on this deceptive title.

"The Cover states the Deep Purple Mark2 lineup.
Also states : Live In Europe & a doubleplay CD. Any veteran listener will recognize assorted previously
released tracks from other DP recordings. First off , it is a single CD.
The recent Smoke on the Water has Steve Morse on guitar.
David Coverdale appears on some old Made In Europe tracks. Mark2 does appear on an old, subpar recording of Into The Fire.
Also, they are on a couple of tracks from the Made In Japan recording. Every few years I'll buy a CD that demands a refund.
This one with it's deceptive labeling had numerous misrepresentation issues. Not a Mark2 recording , not Made In Europe , a single CD- not a doubleplay. Some questionable sound.
I demanded & received a full refund. There are plenty of Best Of Live releases of good quality that are accurately labeled. If you want a great Deep Purple show- get Made In Japan first. You can expand from there. This one doesn't deserve a sale."

Not as bad as u think

"This cd goes under rated. Yes the quality is halfway decent but no where near digitally remastered, and it only plays their biggest hits, but i think that this is still a good cd. They are a great live band, and this is a good cd to pick up if u just want to hear some deep purple live, since if you are a fan, you already know they are great. I recommend it just as a live cd to experiment with."
