Gillan- LIVE AT THE BBC-79/80 - 2CD- 1999- Angel Air Records- 5055011700550- 500 grn
Another fine release from Angel Air Recprds. This album kicks off with a classic Tommy Vance/Ian Gillan interview and contains 23 tracks garnered from four dates in 1979/80. A mighty band and a suitably mighty live album to do them justice. Angel Air Records have amalgamated three concerts. Add two interviews plus a final '‘If You Believe Me'’ from a Friday Rock Show session in March ’80 and yo have quite a package. It was released on 3rd December 1999. Those for whom the Gillan band of the late ’70s/early ’80s represented a golden era in British heavy rock will find much to commend on this two-CD package. The five-piece are in sparkling form as they storm through classic material the power,focus and inspiration of Gillan during this period is magnificently captured. The sixth appearance of Gillan was at the Reading Festival in 1979 and much of that gig, along with sets recorded for the BBC in September the same year and September of 1980 are the basis of this wonderful two CD set. Much of their best known material is here. For sheer music quality alone this is the best release to date by Angel Air Records, and has the same attention to detail as always. The quality of this release surpasses any Angel Air Records have released previously of Gillan. This gets pride of place in your collection.
PERSONNEL: Ian Gillan - vocals; Bernie Torme - guitar; Colin Towns - keyboards; John McCoy - bass; Mick Underwood - drums.
The first half of disc one is actually from the August 1979 Reading Rock Festival and broadcast on the BBC, followed by five songs from a session the following month in London's Paris Theater for the BBC's In Concert radio series. A September 1980 show, also at the Paris Theater and also for In Concert, takes up most of disc two. It focuses on their Glory Road album, with only two songs, "Mr. Universe" and "Vengeance", repeated from the sets on the prior CD. Closing out the second disc is one song, the Led Zeppelin-esque "If You Believe Me", from the BBC's Friday Rock Show on 27th March 1980 and a couple of interviews with Ian himself. Considering that the sound is good throughout, each CD running about 70 minutes. The compilation is a good for those who want more material to supplement the relatively slim output Gillan released from the studio during the band's brief lifespan in the late 1970s and early '80s. Straightforward rock music with Gillan’s distinctive powerful and screamy vocals, heavy guitarwork and a thunderous rhythm section. If you’re a fan of Deep Purple or Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow Rising don’t miss this CD. Twenty three tracks… That power along with a passion. Deep Purple’s frontman stormed the Reading Festival in 1979 with his new line-up. Half-a-dozen tracks from that appearance showcase their heavy riffing, thunderous percussion and full-blown, snarling vocals. A similar set for a BBC In Concert broadcast is tighter, if anything. Another broadcast for the same BBC series, a year later, saw the introduction of the fast and furious song “Unchain Your Brain”. A handful of other good rockers with trademark, spot-on vocals, a 16-page booklet, and it’s time to ditch your old tapes.
Recorded Live At The Reading Rock Festival, England On 25th August 1979 And At The Paris Theater, London, England On 19th September 1979 and On 24th September 1980.
