Lyon 1973

A recording of a Deep Purple performance in Lyon, France, on March 16, 1973 has been posted to YouTube. It is purported to be from an FM radio broadcast, but don’t get your hopes too too high. It sounds more like an audience recording, albeit a good one for the time.

Thanks to RIJIR for posting this and to Gary Poronovich for bringing it to your attention.

    Ian Gillan doing a terrific Elvis impression toward the end of Mary Long. Wonderful.

    Isn’t this the live version of Mary Long that was linked here recently. Nice to hear that song live, a rarity indeed. Also Jon Lord dabbling into a few classics at the start of Lazy. Cheers.
