Absolutely cool

"Ritchie left the band in 1975, but the Final concerts of Mark III line up was still in the top form,..the burn, stormbringer, Gypsy songs are absolutely rarities and previously unreleased versions on stage,..Buy people buy,..a MUST for DP FANS!"
ONLY THE MOST RABID FANS NEED APPLY

"The audio on this disc is OK, but the band just sounds horrible. It's well known that Blackmore hated the "Stormbringer" album, and had already made up his mind to leave the band. His playing at this point sounds like he just couldn't care less.



Glenn Hughes' consistent screeching is especially annoying; when they hired him, the band must have felt they needed someone to imitate Ian Gillian's style, but he just does it constantly, and badly.



My recommendation: Buy the "Made In Japan" remastered "deluxe" disc and the expanded 3-disc "Live in Japan" companion set. It's far more enjoyable, plus, it's fun to hear Blackmore screw up the intro to "Smoke On The Water" not once, but twice!
