It was also recently confirmed by Hughes, saying that it felt particularly gratifying for him to play it finally as a part of his DP shows as he would have liked to play it at the time but it never happened. By the way, his recent versions are great.nondisclosed_email@example.com (fdr)Thu, 04 Apr 2019 14:37:35 +0000 Re: Live in Paris, 1975https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p518310,from=rss#post518310https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p518310,from=rss#post518310"Sail away" we can hear during the interview is not performed by DP.

I've been listening to it for a while, and I'm having a really hard time to like it just because of Glenn Hughes. To me, it sounds like he was heavily on drugs at the time, and his inbetween banter is truly embarresing. And he talks a lot! A LOT! The band is great as always, but, again, Glenn ruins it for me. Coverdale doesen't sound good at that point either, but at least he had some dignity. Because of Glenn, Coverdale isn't talking much inbetween songs. I can see why Blackmore left the band. I guess he realized the mistake he and the guys had made when they brought Glenn in. To much funk, and to much drugs! Listened to for the first time in ages, this is some of the best Purple i’ve ever heard and the sound immense! It struck me that like in 1993, RB was playing with a point to prove. Remember having an awful C90 of this for years in the 80s/90s, so didn’t quite appreciate the performance levels. The whole band is cooking, but Blackmore’s solos on LDD and Gypsy are among his best, really tearing it up! While I love Made in Europe, somehow the Final concerts release in 1996 didn't quite work for me, not sure why as the performances are strong enough. this single concert is a lot better, Only got to Smoke so far, so lots still to enjoy! nondisclosed_email@example.com (Desperateheart)Fri, 02 Jun 2017 12:55:45 +0000 Re: Live in Paris, 1975https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p480661,from=rss#post480661https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p480661,from=rss#post480661quote:danielb wrote: Slightly off-topic, but speaking of GH's bass playing, check out the studio version of Muscle & Blood from Hughes/Thrall.

The latter sounded almost like a different band. Not because of the weaker sound than MIE, but all the stuff that was going on during the set. Not least Highway Star and that driving instrumental part with Blackmore's guitar howling in feedback. Totally agree about LCIJ and especially Wild Dogs, still one of my all time favorite versions of one of my all time favorite songs. That strange, hollow sound and the gloomy front cover photo just made the album more mysterious and enigmatic to me as an 11 year old, and the fact that I picked up the Japanese pressing on import with that glorious print quality and Japanese lyric sheet just made it even better. I'll never forget when I found it, browsing through the Deep Purple section at a local record store for the umpteenth time, and hardly believing my eyes when I saw it. I took it home on the bus, and listened to with that insane concentration you can only muster at that age, looking at those tiny live photos on the lyric sheet and trying to picture what they actually were like live (and wondering what the PAL album pictured on the obi strip sounded like, and dreaming about the "Live In Japan" album also shown on the obi, being totally convinced it was a double live album I've never heard, totally different from MIJ). Those were the days... Regarding MkIII The Final Concert, it was awesome to finally be able to hear all those tracks that were left off MIE, but I was a little disappointed that it didn't have the same monumental sound that MIE had - still one of my favorite productions ever. I can't figure out Martin Birch's productions, some albums sound fantastic and just right for the music (like Fireball, MIE, CTTB), and some just sound strangely flat and thin, with no bass or dynamics whatsoever (first Rainbow album, Stormbringer, and actually most other Birch productions that I've heard). The production on LCIJ just sounds vindictive towards Bolin, especially with the liner notes on the back and the choice of photo of Tommy where he looks so druggy, bloated and swollen. nondisclosed_email@example.com (heimdall)Tue, 01 Jul 2014 04:58:40 +0000 Re: Live in Paris, 1975https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p480155,from=rss#post480155https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p480155,from=rss#post480155A cool story, Doggone!nondisclosed_email@example.com (Rezi)Wed, 18 Jun 2014 05:31:33 +0000 Re: Live in Paris, 1975https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p480143,from=rss#post480143https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p480143,from=rss#post480143The First DP album I bought was "Purple Passages".

It was '79 or '80 and I was 9 or 10. It was a neighbor friend's older brother's album (seems to be a recurring theme ) and when the keys started on GoB, my ears really perked up...then it got to the guitar solo (I was already playing by this time) and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I had never heard anyone else play like that. When that album finished, I asked if he had any other albums by this band...he brought back Rising and then explained to me that the guitarist came from another band called Deep Purple. He handed me the Burn album and my life changed forever... He let me borrow these albums for a few weeks then I went out and bought the ones I mentioned (after doing chores to earn the $$) then slowly over time picked up MiJ, Fireball and In Rock. Meanwhile, DtE, DtC and SBtE had come out and I had already seen Rainbow live (same neighbor's older brother took us after much begging ).

Then it was MIJ, and PS. All LPs of his or his older brother's. This happened around the reunion, I was 10 or 11. He also played some of MIE, which he had on a recorded tape. I don't know why it sounded even more magical than those other ones (I remember being blown away by the combination of energy and stuff like the solos in HS), maybe it was a certain melodic thing about Burn and Stormbringer. As soon as I scraped the money together, I went to buy that album. The aforementioned mate was pissed off as I hadn't gotten an album he didn't already have. I saw his point but couldn't help it! I think the next album to have such an impact on me was Scandinavian Nights, in 1988. Despite having heard MIJ countless times it was even more amazing. I still think so. I could listen to it ten times without getting bored. Especially WTN. So maybe the boys had a point with all that soloing!
