Portable door to Saratoga

Here’s an almost complete recording of the Deep Purple show in Saratoga Springs, NY, on September 4, 2024. It’s an audience recording of exceptional quality, the only drawback is the audio mix that is relatively low on Hammond. Enjoy!

Thanks to RockinGator Live Music for posting this, and Uwe for bringing it to your attention.

    when the first notes of Paice and Glover on Highway Star start and then everyone comes in up to Gillan, every time my adrenaline rises and I feel like I’m there in the audience!….a feeling that only Purple can give!

    #4 Uwe:
    oh my God, now we will have swing in every discussion!

    You’re too smart not to know that it’s the compositional mastery, and musical progression, that allows the song to create these indescribable vibrations.

    few other songs give me that same feeling.
    for example The Final Countdown or Jump, which have nothing to do with the 80s swing sounds, but are masterpieces of musical arrangement

    I found The Final Countdown clinical and very Scandinavian, IKEA rock, don’t forget your Allen wrench. 😆

    Jump, had something, but you could never play the darn thing in full at any rock disco because the weird meters/over-the-bar-playing in the solo ruined it for the dancers. They would just stand there dumbfounded and stop moving. 😂

    Highway Star is nothing without Ian’s snare intro and that is swing, like it or not!
