Not anther bloody live DVD release they cry? I'm afraid so. Is it worth it? The answer as always, is yes. Sorry, that's the way it is with these guys. They get better and better and this is also the last (so far) official release with Jon Lord on keyboards.

With a setlist that can only be desribed as conservative, with nothing of the excellently heavy Abandon CD, they still manage to slip in a couple of surprises including Mary Long and a little tribute to Tony Ashton in Jon's solo. Anyhow, the setlist:

  • Woman From Tokyo
  • Ted The Mechanic
  • Mary Long
  • Lazy
  • No One Came.
  • Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming
  • Fools
  • Perfect Strangers
  • Hey Cisco
  • When A Blind Man Cries
  • Smoke On The Water
  • Speed King
...and ending with what could be described as two beginnings:
  • Hush
  • Highway Star.
Interspersed in that lot are solos all round and a lot of the usual noodling.

Recorded at the Sunrise Theater in Florida on June 5, 2001, our contemporary reviews say it was a cracking performance. Definitely worth a look.
