Deep Purple are one of the most successful and revered British rock bands of all time. This new 2 DVD set covers the initial phase of the band’s existence through four different line-ups from 1968 to 1976. This era produced the classic Deep Purple albums such as ’In Rock’ , ’Fireball’, ’Burn’ and ’Machine Head’ that created their legend and still provide the backbone of their live sets today.
Combining full performances and a small number of archive interviews, and featuring much rare and previously unreleased live, studio and TV footage, this superb set is the definitive collection of the early years of Deep Purple.
As its title suggests, the programme is divided into three sections, each representing a different aspect of the band's career: 'History' comprises a 20 minute retrospective, 'Hits' features 22 full performances of their most recognisable songs, and 'Highlights' delves deeper into the Deep Purple catalogue with bonus performances and interviews.
Packaged as a double amaray case inside a slipcase with lavishly illustrated booklet of memorabilia, this is the ultimate collectors package for early Deep Purple. Tracklisting: 'Help', 'Hush', 'Wring That Neck', 'Hallelujah', 'Mandrake Root', 'Speed King', 'Black Night', 'Child In Time', 'Lazy', 'Strange Kind Of Woman', 'Fireball Writing Session', 'Fireball', 'Demon's Eye', 'No No No', 'Into The Fire', 'Never Before', 'Highway Star', 'Smoke On The Water', 'Burn', 'Mistreated', 'Love Child', 'You Keep On Moving'.
