Thanks to Jim Collins and Demon Edsel for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
At last. An officially endorsed live collection… and only a handful of these have been “officially” released before. I’m looking forward to this…
October 28th, 2009 at 08:07This at least sounds like a worthwhile purchase. Unlike most of the crappy “Angel Air” ones! Cheers,Drdp
October 28th, 2009 at 09:38the radio 1 rock show version of ‘if you believe me’ is awesome, assuming it’s one of the five here.
October 28th, 2009 at 09:59Still dreaming of that TIME MACHINE so that I can attend GILLAN gigs
I missed out then……
October 28th, 2009 at 13:37Brilliant, The Tommy Vance session is the ultimate for me, Born to kill was played for me recently on Bruce Dickensons “Friday rock show”, he didnt play M.A.D so im sure looking forward to hearing that magical Colin Towns intro again! Fantastic.
October 28th, 2009 at 15:17BUT ‘ANGEL AIR’ RELEASED A WONDERFUL ALBUM (’79-’80 bbc) WHICH IS A SHAME THAT IS NOT INCLUDED HERE…IN THAT SHOW GILLAN REACHED THE NOTE D6…
October 28th, 2009 at 16:23CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS!!!
October 28th, 2009 at 21:44Look forward to this, Gillans voice was astonishing in those days and the band were simply unique, the combination of Towns writing and virtuosity with the raw rock n roll delivery of the Gillan, Torme, McCoy trio was an extremely exciting mix!
October 29th, 2009 at 07:39The Reading Festival!!! What a gig!!
Didnt stop for the Sunday……but if my memory serves me…..
Budgie & Girlschool on the friday, Atomic Rooster, Samson and Gillan on the Saturday…………to name but a few!
Those were the days!
October 29th, 2009 at 08:38what a rare talent ….this guy is just , words cant express it …. although it was a little wierd seing him grab my mom by the face and give her a big one right on the lips a few years ago
October 30th, 2009 at 18:08my favorite IG vocal era–man could he sing and scream during the Gillan Band era.
November 1st, 2009 at 19:36about IG vocal era I just prefer the 69-79 period…in that time his vocie were simply perfect…
November 1st, 2009 at 20:42I’ll be supporting this release for sure, I think along with the Angel Aire 79-80 BBC CD it will go very well in serving up the best live documents in the tons of shows they played over the best of those years. The 1980 BBC show is the very best imo, that show is amazing! I agree it should be included.
November 5th, 2009 at 20:47Wow.Great memories from that period.When rock was real Rock music.Great band.Good times.
November 6th, 2009 at 10:08THANKS FOR THIS,
LOVE THIS TIME WITH IAN,
HE BE CAME GREATER WHEN HE TURNED TO BLACK SABBATH.
THANK`S IAN THAT YOU DID WHAT YOU DID BACK IN 83..
November 6th, 2009 at 15:27a reliable user on the deep purple italian forum has addressed some issues in regards of this release:
- on 4/3/1981 deep purple played in nottingham (not at the rainbow in london)
- “if you believe” from the nottingham radio show was published in “double trouble” and credited by mistake as “recorded at the london rainbow”
- on 5/3/1981 deep purple played at the london rainbow
- lucille live from the reading festival was included by mistake in “mr universe” (instead of the studio version)
November 6th, 2009 at 20:46Unfortunately I ve to watch very carefully how I spend my money right now.
After years of neglect and putting countless Guilders and Ero s into DP family pockets I m trying to fix my house a bit.
It s a shame cause these Gillan live outings are amongst the ones waited for so long in the past……
A pity as well it took so long to get these out…..
The visualisation of things concerning DP and family still on shelves is a real mindboggler.
What about a decent live double disc with Bonnet during Down To Earth era or a 2 disc with JLT during Rainbow?
Thank God I ll be seeing The Mighty Screamer Graham Bonnet soon LIVE over here….
Just bought my tickets.
I got someone here on board that crazy, SHE HATES BONNET, to go along so that I dont have to stress myself unconscious due to public transport, time schedules and so on…..
We re going to have a beer after the gig now without rushing home….
GRAHAM BONNET ROCKS!!!!!!
November 6th, 2009 at 22:58NOW: WOULD SOMEONE OFFICIALIZE THE WORCHESTER 1983 SHOW WITH B.SABBATH??!!!
November 7th, 2009 at 14:04THAT SHOW IS A MASTERPIECE AND IT HAS A VERY GOOD SOUND QUALITY…
Hi everyone,
of the three post Purple line-ups GILLAN probably was the least famous and definitely the least commercially succesfull but INMHO the most honest and best one! Ian’s performance and style oozes pure hard rock. The songs are not polished up and “pretty”, they just go for the throat and got you by the balls. That’s the way I undestand and love rock music….So I’m extremely happy about the new release.. This will give me something “to chew upon” for the next couple of months!!
Long live Ian, cheers!
