3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but a little dated., November 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: DEEP PURPLE - HEAVY METAL PIONEERS (DVD)

I own this in the VHS version that is quite a few years older. This is nice because you get some interviews with the elusive Blackmore, and there iw a nice version of "Hush." However, they all take themselves a littel too seriously, and to hear Joe Lynn Turner talk about making his own footsteps in the group, (He was fired after only one album and tour) is in retrospect, rather funny.

There are some nice clips on this, but you can get more on the Machine Head DVD which catches a lot more of the creative process and does, in fact, have better footage.

A nice primer on Deep Purple, but nothing outstanding.

DVD player merely says "Wrong Region" with no explanation how to fix it or make it work right. I think this is just a blank disc, may as well be because it does not produce any video. At least I could record over a blank disc. This is typical record label quality control at its finest. Beware, does NOT PLAY in the USA.

This one rocks. It includes interviews from Roger Glover, Jon
Lord, Ian Gillan, Joe Lynn Turner, Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Paice.
It also includes some live performances like Smoke on the water,
Speed king, Black night, Burn, Strange kind of woman, Child in time and more. If you like Deep Purple, buy this.
