Deep Purple - Masters From the Vaults

Rating:
Summary: Good Music, Bad history write up
Review: Contains what remains of show recorded early in 1970 called "Doing their Thing", (Child in Time is only full length song from this show) but the band are firing on all cylinders. Also some German Videos with the Guitar feedback at the start of "Highway Star" edited off. Also contains 3 good, not great, versions of Purple songs performed by Ian Gillan and his band. The write up on the inside cover has the history of the band wrong, stating Gillan and Glover joined in 1970(They joined in 1969) Good but not great DVD.

Summary: CLASSIC MARK II LINEUP IN CONCERT 1970-72
Review: Deep Purple's Masters from the Vaults contains material from three different sources: 1)Live Performance from Granada Television Studios in England from 1970, 2)Live Performances on German TV from 1971 and/or 72, 3)Live Concert Performance of the Ian Gillan Band from 1989. The Granada footage is the same as Deep Purple Doing Their Thing. There is no additional footage from Doing Their Thing, however, the sound/picture quality is much better than the old videotape that I have. There are 4 songs from this show: Speed King, Child in Time, Wring That Neck, and Mandrake Root. Good Points: The band is scintilating! Ritchie tears it up!!! No doubt about it. Everyone else is so good. To me, this is the best Video material of old Deep Purple excluding Smoke On The Water from the Machine Head DVD that was taken from a 1973 TV special. When is the rest of that concert going to come out? Bad Points: Excluding Child in Time, all the songs were cut down in order to fit into a 30 minute TV program about Deep Purple. It's just too bad that the rest of the songs weren't preserved for future release. The German TV material is the Deep Purple Special Edition EP. The 3 songs are No No No, Highway Star and Hallelujah. No No No is the best. Singing and playing are right on, with Ritchie wearing his Witches hat and looking like a possessed Warlock. Highway Star is pretty good, a song that hadn't been fully conceived yet. No Bach arpeggios from Ritchie here. Hallelujah is lipsynced but is fantastic. The Ian Gillan Band material is much better than I thought it would be. I have always loved Ian's singing and he really delivers the goods here. The band is good but not Deep Purple. Songs are When a Blind Man Cries, Demon's Eye, Lucille and Smoke on the Water. Conclusion: I loved the Granada footage; loved the German TV footage, and though I liked the IGB, they aren't Purple. Also, credits list Hush but it isn't on the DVD. Buy this DVD if you want the best performances from DP Mark II that you can purchase as of this moment.

Summary: MEZCLA INNECESARIA
Review: ES UNA LASTIMA QUE HAGAN SEMEJANTE MEZCLA DEL MATERIAL DE DEEP PURPLE - YO AMO MUCHO A LA BANDA PERO YA ESTOY CANSADO DE TANTO MANOSEO - SI FUERA SOLAMENTE EL MATERIAL DE GRANADA 1970 , ESTO ESTARIA BIEN, PORQUE NO ESTA EDITADO EN FORMATO DVD. PERO NO ACEPTO LA MEZCLA DE INCORPORAR A ESTE DVD MATERIAL SOLISTA DE IAN GILLAN 1990 (AUNQUE LOS TITULOS SEAN DE DEEP PURPLE) Y ADEMAS LOS TRES TEMAS DE LA TELEVISION ALEMANA 1969/1971 Y 1972.
ESTO ULTIMO YA SE PODRIA DECIR QUE ES UNA ESTAFA ¿PORQUE? PORQUE HACE UN AÑO ME LO VENDIERON COMO UNA ESPECIAL EDICION LIMITADA. CREO QUE ASI DEBERIA HABER QUEDADO
BASTA, POR FAVOR RESPETEN AL CONSUMIDOR SOLAMENTE NO ESTAFANDO CON ESTA FORMA DE VENDERTE LAS COSAS 2 O 3 VECES - QUE LOS SELLOS EDITORES SEAN MAS HONESTO.
IGUALMENTE , LAMENTABLEMENTE ES UN ITEMS IMPORTANTE PARA LOS FANS DE DEEP PURPLE- NO QUEDA OTRA QUE COMPRARLO, REPITO, FUNDAMENTALMENTE POR EL MATERIAL DE GRANADA 1970 - UN ABRAZO A TODOS LOS SEGUIDORES DE ESTA HERMOSA BANDA. GUSTAVO SOLOHAGA - ROSARIO - REPUBLICA ARGENTINA
