Great Live Deep Purple

"This cd is excellent!!! Steve Morse is great and Jon Lord and Ian Paice are on their best! Ian Gillan's voice is in really great shape and with the combination of all musicians being in tune this is one of the best live deep purple projects. Made in Japan is still their best! But considering all, this one with Steve Morse is great! Well worth the money! I will but the DVD!"

Among the glut of Deep Purple live albums this is a beauty

"Deep Purple release a huge number of live albums - this is the third from the 1996 European tour I own (Live Encounters and Live At The Olympia are the other two). While too much Deep Purple is rarely enough, this set is a ripper. Ten tracks from a festival appearance (plus, confusingly, two bonus tracks from 2000 at the same venue), well recorded, the band in top form, and Steve Morse demonstrating the style that makes him a worthy Deep Purple guitarist. I buy almost everything Deep Purple put out, and I was very impressed with this one. Recommended."

A Good One Amongst the Many...

"The sound was good, the mixing even better. Morse does some fine work on this one. Plays hard on Ted the Mechanic, Pictures of Home & No One Came.... Gillan does some nice work on Hey Cisco. The bonus songs were a little different... same venue, 5 years earlier. Not a bad effort none the less."
