This is the first Deep Purple show released on an official full length CD with the MK 1 line up featuring Rod Evans and Nick Simper.
The concert was recorded in 1968 when they opened up for Cream on their Farewell Tour.

Sound quality isn't great because of the age of the recording but this is a must have for Deep Purple fans!

"Hush" (Joe South) - 4:44
"Kentucky Woman" (Neil Diamond) - 5:01
"Mandrake Root" (Rod Evans, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord) - 10:10
"Help!" (John Lennon, Paul McCartney) - 6:19
"Wring That Neck" (Blackmore, Nick Simper, Lord, Ian Paice) - 6:40
"River Deep, Mountain High" (Phil Spector, Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich) - 9:44
"Hey Joe" (Billy Roberts) - 7:57

I love DP, and Mark I is my favorite DP lineup. I have to admire the 'cajones' of the Deep Purple Appreciation Society for putting this from-video production together. Early DP was arguably as much keyboard-centered as guitar-centered unit, and Ritchie may be attempting to be a bit more explosive here live, than on the Shapes of Deep Purple debut album (where he is notoriously understated), but its hard to tell...the sound does not come through. If you are good at using your imagination, this talent might help you to piece together what the band really sounded like that night. Rod Evans, who I loved as a vocalist on the first three albums displays some of the limitations which made him unsuitable as Ritchie started to crank things up later in the band's career, and, Ian Gillan did fit the new style better. Therefore I got the answer to why Rod Evans got the 'heave-ho' in 1970. If you are doing very, very well financially, and LOVE Mark I DP, buy this album. Otherwise, it would behoove you to just buy the first three DP albums (Shades, Taliesyn and Deep Purple), which are very fine remasters (all three will cost you about he same as this release...if you paid 'list' price). I also recommend 'Live at Aachen 1970' for a well-recorded early DP show (also from DP Appreciation Society)

This is a great CD. I don't understand putting Blackmore down as his playing is really quite good. The sound isn't fantastic but performance is very good. This is the only live Mark I there is and I recommend getting it as it is really good. Everyone sounds good remember this is 1968. And the audience reaction to each song is tremendous. Why would they cheer and clap so loud if they didn't like them? Buy it.
