Butterfly Ball VHS


Do you have the video live of Butterfly Ball?

Many of the stars that appeared on the album gathered for an exclusive one night only concert at The Royal Albert Hall in London on October 16th 1975. The New World Symphony Orchestra provided the backing and between the songs there where a narrative read by Vincent Price. Both David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes sang at the concert and Roger Glover also got help from his old Deep Purple friend, Jon Lord.

Ian Gillan who had quit the music business after leaving Deep Purple a few years earlier did his first live performance since leaving DP at the concert when he replaced Ronnie James Dio who was busy elsewhere. Ian Gillan have later said that the warm welcome he got from the audience that night was the reason why he decided to continue his musical career.
I guess we all should thank Roger Glover for inviting Ian Gillan to the concert.

The concert was both recorded and filmed but unfortunately one of the directors hired some actors who was filmed dancing in some forest wearing animal costumes. This was later for some reason edited into the filmed concert and the result was both embarrassing and amateurish to watch. The film was distributed to some cinemas but was soon withdrawn. The film was released on home video in 1985 but it was also quickly withdrawn this time because the company who released it didn't have the legal rights to distribute it. But as a result of that short lived release some bootlegs, both on CD and video, have surfaced but hopefully sometime in the future they get an official release

Larry, send me an e-mail with your full name and address and I will mail you a copy, sending it through messenger is too slow.
