Deep Purple: Bombay Calling

Rating:
Summary: Transitional concert
Review: A good show. It was transitional - this was before their Purpendicular album was finished, and after the Battle Rages On tour. Some of the songs from the Battle tour were still being played : Battle Rages On, Anya, Child in Time, When a Blind Man Cries, etc. There is one song from the upcoming album - 'Purpendicular Waltz', but in a semi-complete form. So, it has elements of their prior tour, and elements of their forthcoming one. They don't play 'Child' or 'Anya' much anymore, so to hear those with Steve Morse is pretty cool.

Summary: It's A Beautiful Day
Review: I usually don't write reviews on products I haven't seen, but I had to comment on the title of this DVD.

Bombay Calling is the title of an instrumental track on It's A Beautiful Day's first album. Deep Purple stole the opening and used in Child In Time (I think they even admit it). So it is interesting that this title was chosen for a Deep Purple DVD.

Deep Purple also stole It's A Beautiful Day's Don and Dewey and called it Wring That Neck. Deep Purple and It's A Beautiful Day played together at the Fillmore.

Summary: great band - total abandon live 1999 is better concert/dvd
Review: The first concert with steve morse . deep purple deserve 5 stars ... but "this concert presentation contains rare analogue archival footage wich vary slightly in quality ..." recorded " dolby digital " with average sound quality and poor picture quality . steve morse start this concert badly with fireball and black knight but amazed us from the fifth track " the battle rages on" ," when blind man cries" , child in time" and became better and better ....
in 1999 live concert " total abandon" he is perfect.
ian gillan is still good vocalist with great voice but he lost his voice in this concert ( especially in " pictures of home").
total abandon is much better in all meanings but you will not find there " maybe im a leo" , " a battle rages on", purpendicular walz"," child in time" , " anya" so if you cant manage " total abandon" take and enjoy" bombay calling".

Summary: total abandon live 1999 much [better!!!]
Review: The first live concert with steve morse . deep purple deserve 5 stars just because they are deep purple ... but "this concert presentation contains rare analogue archival footage wich vary slightly in quality ...."
steve morse start this concert badly with fireball and black knight but amazed us from the fifth track -"the battle rages on" , " when blind man cries " " child in time " and became better and better ....
in "" live - total abandon 1999 live concert he bacame perfect.
ian gillan loose his voice in " pictures of home " . this dvd recorded - " dolby digital " with bad- average quality . if you can manage one dvd take " total abandon " ( better dvd) but also " bombay calling" if you are real fan and if you can`t manage with only one concert. " bombay calling approx 114 min` ( 18 tracks ) . you can`t find the following tracks in " total abandon": " maybe im a leo, a battle rages on , purpendicular walz, when a blind man cries , child in time and anya but you can find them in their last dvd " perihelion" . " total abandon " is much better in all the [meanings!!!]
