Caveat emptor: Live 1974 DVD
There is a new live Deep Purple DVD scheduled for release on February 10. It’s called “Live 1974 (TV Recordings)” and the label press release claims that
[…] the 55-minute disc features footage of “DEEP PURPLE performing for the TV cameras in 1974 in Germany, originally broadcast in Argentina. […]
Track listing:
Burn
Might Just Take Your Life
Mistreated
Smoke On The Water
You Fool No One
The Mule
Space Truckin’
Now, we don’t want to sound all doom and gloom before we have the actual product, but several things make us very, very sceptical.
- There is a shot from Cal Jam on the cover.
- Track listing looks identical to Cal Jam.
- The label (IMV Blueline) has a track record of releasing shoddy compilations.
- Not that it’s completely impossible, but a totally unknown 55 minute long Purple video recording from 1974 surfacing on a small independent label?
Thanks to Blabbermouth.net for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
This is something like Deep Purple live in China.
False.
Save the money for – Stormbringer/35th anniversary edition 2-LP and 2-cd!

What Deep Purple’s DVD? I’m in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 26th, 2009 at 13:17Very poor cover !!! I can make a better cover! This is going to be some kind of a Cal jam version. Which is pointless, because we all ready have a proper release of the show…
Looking forward to the Stormbringer 2 LP edition !
January 26th, 2009 at 14:03isn’t that show and after show of 1974 yet surfaced but still not officialized?I can’t remember the date and the place of the gig…
January 26th, 2009 at 14:26It must be a cheap trick but…vibes and positive thoughts…
January 26th, 2009 at 15:51Well there is some live footage after this interview, that is not from California Jam so maybe it’s this new dvd is more of this?

I can’t see what supporting this would be for, by any self respecting supporter. I find it appalling that anyone on this website would buy such a thing. Not only is it not even really classifiable as an “independent label” is the legitimate sense, we can all safely assume they’re a pirate label, like every single other one that’s been putting these out with unauthorized material. Shame on them, I wouldn’t even try to make sense of what they’re saying about what performance it is, but it’s likely disposable knowledge and can be easily figured out as to whether that’s what’s on it or not. If so, so be it, great in fact, if not, don’t be surprised if you buy it and it’s no such thing.(one things for sure, they stand to make money by charging for this either way, so lets hope it contains what they’re saying it does… some ploys are better than others. But to tell you the truth, it’s not likely what they say it is because the footage would have been leaked by now, or at least very well known about by collectors, as basically noted by the editor, which I just agree with at this point, but anything is possible.
January 26th, 2009 at 16:01When will we get a DVD with
The several great youtubes of MK 2 material nowhere to buy yet maybe together with DOING THEIR THING and so on? ?
January 26th, 2009 at 16:03They are awesome
“Lay Down Stay Down” is missing as on the first “Cal Jam” Releases.
So I’m pretty sure it is Cal Jam.
A few month ago an ARGENTINAN version of CaL Jam was releases with the misleading title “LEIPZIG” – which is a German town. But it was Cal Jam.
So I’m to 100% sure this also will be Cal Jam.
January 26th, 2009 at 16:08Buy the official one with “Lay Down Stay Down”.
Perhaps this is a copy of the Cal Jam VHS, which as I recall, looked and sounded different from the offical DVD release.

January 26th, 2009 at 17:55here is some live footage that is from ’74 but not california,
the live footage is after the interview
No Ormandy, it’s just the BBC broadcast, as there were two film crews, and it was ‘officially released’ just as the more recent ABC broadcast, it’s just been both out of print and available on Pirates for years now.
(superior to what you’re referring to as the “official release” imo)
Drew W, that interview footage is from another thing altogether, and has already been exploited for money by Pirates as well, stick with youtube and see it for free, you aren’t missing anything.
January 26th, 2009 at 18:52This set list was the same throughout the Burn era……
You can’t go by that. You’d have to see it first. German TV did offer stuff back in the day, so maybe there is a slight chance that it is a different gig. Hopefully…..
Cheers
January 26th, 2009 at 21:24This was the “Deep Purple Sucks Days.” Coverdale always has, always will suck as a singer. he is the one person in the history of planet Earth who sucked more dicks than Robert Plant to get a recording contract.
January 27th, 2009 at 02:58HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! Such audacity, a rare breed indeed.
January 27th, 2009 at 06:04There seems to be loads of MkII rareities popping up on Youtube…Check this out:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GkYHpk3TKCg&feature=related
I bet there’s still genuinely unseen footage out there that would be worth investing in!
January 27th, 2009 at 08:03Seems a popular past time for rock stars…..
People can be induced to swallow anything, provide it is sufficiently seasoned with praise……

January 27th, 2009 at 10:26This time I don’t agree…
David Coverdale in my opinion is the best singer of the story of rock music after Ian Gillan…wonderful voice, great vocal range, super showman…He is much better than Plant and He can sing Zeppelin song better than him…
In Deep Purple NOBODY EVER would suck a dick.
January 27th, 2009 at 18:15Anybody knows where on earth the Leeds project film is???Anybody???
It’s on circulation(got my copy), More Black.
40 min. from the Hammersmith Odeon(9th May ’74)…
1. Burn
2. Lord,Paice,Hughes,Coverdale Interview
3. Show Ending
4. Blackmore Interviews
5. Lord,Paice,Hughes,Coverdale Interview
6. Jon Lord Solo incl. 2001 Theme
7. Space Truckin’
8. Jon Lord Interviews
9. Blackmore Solo
…done as a media project by students at Leeds University.Some of the interviews were taken from the backstage of Lewisham Odeon, London on 12th May ’74.
It’s a nice curiosity to have from MkIII, but the sound & visual quality aren’t much better than the average bootleg-dvd, although it claims to be a ‘Pro-Shot’ thing.
Cheers
January 27th, 2009 at 18:47I tend to agree with Moreblack, but it doesn’t make Covey an angel either.
January 27th, 2009 at 19:32The mentioning of ‘TV cameras’ is very suspicious… So it must be Cal Jam.
