KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR PRESENTS: DEEP PURPLE IN CONCERT is a live album taken from a Deep Purple performance originally broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour, released in July 1995. It contains concert material recorded on 27 February 1976 at Long Beach Arena, Los Angeles, CA featuring the Mark IV line-up with Tommy Bolin. The concert was recorded on 27th February 1976 at Long Beach Arena, Los Angeles, CA. The album also contains four bonus tracks recorded at a Deep Purple concert on 26th January 1976 in Springfield, MA. This concert was originally intended to be used for the King Biscuit broadcast, but imperfections in the recording made the entire show unsuitable for airing and forced the second taping in Long Beach one month later. The album was released in the U.K. in June 1995 with the title On The Wings Of A Russian Foxbat. In 2000, a partial set consisting of ten songs was published by BMG under the name Extended Versions. The album was remastered and re-released with new cover art as Live At Long Beach 1976 on 24th February 2009 by Purple Records.
PERSONNEL: David Coverdale – lead vocals; Tommy Bolin – guitar, vocals; Jon Lord – keyboards, organ, synthesizers, backing vocals; Glenn Hughes – bass, vocals; Ian Paice – drums, percussion.
For fans of Tommy Bolin in Deep Purple this release comes as a godsend. For fans of the the Ritchie Blackmore Deep Purple this release comes as a chance to hear the man fill in what was claimed to be unfillable shoes. This concert isn't the band at it's finest nor was it going to win over hard-core Ritchie Blackmore fans. Tommy Bolin has a different canvas of sounds and ideas than his predecessor Ritchie Blackmore, but he's a very fine player, and he does a good job fitting into Deep Purple classics. He plays the older Deep Purple songs with the same charisma as the newer material off Come Taste The Band, the album the band was touring behind. For the rest of the band Jon Lord and Ian Paice never let you down as they are the two mainstays in this rock n' roll machine. Glenn Hughes voice hits notes into the atmoshere. Finally, frontman David Coverdale sounds tired and going up agains't Glenn Hughes doesn't make him sound like he's the lead vocalist anyway. But don't be discouraged by this, the band present themselves in rare jazz-funk-fusion form due in large part with the addition of Tommy Bolin. A rare opportunity to hear since no other incarnations of this band ever pulled this off. Highlights include ''Gettin' Tighter'' in all of it's jam packed funk glory. Tommy and Glenn are inseperable throughout this track, Glenn singing his heart out and Tommy playing his heart out. Other highlights include the opener ''Burn'', ''Lady Luck'', ''Strombringer'', and ''Highway Star''. All-in-all a terrific show. The band is laid back and Tommy Bolin shines all over. A must own for Tommy Bolin fans, and other Deep Purple finds will find out that Tommy was the man who could do the impossible...replace Mr. Blackmore.
Recorded Live In Springfield, Massachusetts On 26th January 1976 And In Long Beach, California On 27th February 1976.
