Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The Purple's reign continues with this 14-song, 102-minute concert performance (the DVD includes an additional 30 minutes of interviews), recorded in '01. This band has been at it since the '60s, and the four original members still on hand (hotshot guitarist Steve Morse replaced Ritchie Blackmore in the mid-'90s) bring admirable energy and surprisingly sharp chops to the stage. There's something slightly discomfiting about watching singer Ian Gillan try to shriek his way through riff-heavy standards like "Woman from Tokyo," "Hush," "Highway Star," and the inevitable "Smoke on the Water" as if he were still just a lad, but for the most part he pulls it off; meanwhile, Jon Lord's keyboards and Gillan's efforts to write lyrics about something other than sex and partying help separate Deep Purple's sound from the rest of the metal throng. So you can't go home again. But Deep Purple show that you can at least book a ticket. --Sam Graham

5.0 out of 5 stars A mind-blowing show !!!!!!!!!, August 1, 2005
By Bashar (Syria) - See all my reviews
I'm huge fan of Deep Purple and this is my first DP DVD and it is really great here is the content of the DVD:
The concert is 1.425 minutes here is the track list:
1-Woman from Tokyo (7.06 minutes)
2-Ted the Mechanic (4.53 minutes)
3-Mary Long (6.34 minutes)
4-Lazy (7.00 minutes)
5-No One Came (5.13 minutes)
6-Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming (10.12 minutes)
7-Fools (9.07 minutes)
8-Perfect Strangers (9.15 minutes)
9-Hey Cisco (5.03 minutes)
10-When a Blind Man Cries (7.19 minutes)
11-Smoke on the Water (6.35 minutes)
12-Speed King (15.51 minutes)
13-Hush (3.19 minutes)
14-Highway Star (9.55 minutes)

and there is 30 minutes of very interesting interviews with the band

the performance is a brilliant and most of these songs are better here than the album versions for example (long Mary) had never attracted my attention but here it is really cool song and it is one of my favorites....
The new version of (fools) is very impressive because Jon lord added new sounds with his Keyboards and Morse plays new guitar solos so you find it very different from the 1971 version ...here it is longer and better
The 15 minutes (speed king ) is the best performance on this DVD because Morse and Lord play incredible solos then Roger plays Bass solo then Ian Paice plays Drums solo then Gillan perform another short song while morse plays Guitar then the continue Speed King....they are amazing
So this is a must buy DVD and you won't be disappointed at all. Actually any one who loves Hard Rock and Blues will love this DVD

5.0 out of 5 stars Jon Lord's American Farewell, August 29, 2002
By S. D. Berg "seberg99" (Champlin, MN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This last tour of Deep Purple will be remembered as organist Jon Lord's last. This DVD and tour was better than the one in 1998. Ian Gillan's voice seems well rested and less raspy than on the last concert release. The band plays a Greatest Hits set with a few fun things thrown in like "Mary Long" and "No One Came." What you see is a close knit group of friends making the music they love. Guitarist Steve Morse is a perfect fit and has been with the band almost 8 years. It is too bad nothing from the last studio album ABANDON was included, but all in all fine fare!

Jon Lord has left the band to be replaced by Don Airey. We shall miss the master of the Hammond. I saw this tour when it came to Minneapolis, and they were a very hot band. Excellent sound quality on this DVD and good video production. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old soldiers never die......, August 14, 2002
By T. G. Mooney "moon2c" (Staten Island, New York United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a purple fan for many years I was interested in finding out what one of the original "monsters of rock" bands were up to lately. While signs of age are clearly present there is still a confidence and professioal swagger that exists within the very core of this band. The sound and picture quailty is exceptional and the program selection which mixes classic purple with new material holds up throughout the entire show. Guitarist Steve Morse is like a shot of adreneline and he looks like a kid in a candy store playing these classic tunes. The added comentaries are revealing and it is apparent that Blackmore's leaving was not met with any tears. A five star performance from one of the originals.
