DEEP PURPLE

LIVE AT MONTREUX--1996

2006





Review: Deep Purple live concert from the birthplace of Smoke On The Water--Montreux. The main concert is from their show at the Montreux festival in 1996. The band proves with this concert and any other live shows they seem to release that they never lose any of their energy or talent for the live shows. They are getting a little older and maybe not running around the stage like they used to and maybe a little heavier but nothing cuts into their performances. Steve Morse on guitar of course and does a extrodinary job and love the duels he does with Jon Lord on keys and with Ian and his recognizable squeals and screams. Featuring timeless Purple classics like BLACK NIGHT, SPEED KING and of course SMOKE ON THE WATER and a few newer ones(at the time of the concert) like the great TED THE MECHANIC. Bonus tracks are 5 songs from their concert at the same place 4 years later in 2000 with 2 more must haves with LAZY and HIGHWAY STAR. Any Purple fan that is not against Morse being in the band will enjoy this dvd.
