London's Marquee Club is as synonymous with rock music as Marshall Amps, Gibson and Fender Guitars and all other iconic brand names that have shaped the sound of music through the decades. 1978 was a very busy period for Gillan newly formed. The band that took Ian Gillan's side at London's Marquee Club in December 1978 was far, far different than the group that had accompanied him onto that stage a mere six months before. In the interim, the former Deep Purple frontman had deep-sixed his own Ian Gillan Band and tossed his jazz-rock fusion sound overboard. Retaining only keyboardist Colin Towns, the singer swiftly enrolled drummer Peter Barnacle and a pair of Zzebras, guitarist Steve Byrd and bassist John McCoy, and christened the new-look group Gillan. They debuted at the Reading Festival in August, and by the time the band hit the Marquee stage Gillan was already a stunningly tight unit. The band and Gillan performances are awesome, but this is no more than an offical bootleg with not soundboard but audience recording. You can hear people screaming for some songs. This is a very enjoyable ramshackle concert. This show was recorded by someone in the audience at the Marquee Club, while Gillan was touring in support of that debut album. It's a low-fi release, with audience conversations prominent in the quieter moments. But, there aren't many quiet moments. This is a hard rocking, energetic set, by an explosive band eager to make their mark. When they're in full flight, the sound is fine, if low-fi. You can hear all the instruments and Gillan's vocals just fine. An added bonus is the arrival onstage of Gillan's old sparring partner from his Deep Purple days. The Man-In-Black himself, Mr. Ritchie Blackmore, shows up for the encores. It was the first time the two shared a stage since June of '73. A historic moment. LIVE AT THE MARQUEE 1978 was released on 4th February 2008 by Angel Air Records.

Opening with a new number, the blistering "Secret Of The Dance", Ian Gillan deliberately drew a thick line through his recent past. At times the song almost strays into Motörhead territory, the ferocious "Message In A Bottle" storms between the twin peaks of hard rock and hardcore, while "Back In The Game"'s stop-start rhythm pushes towards post-punk. "So Low" was a showcase for McCoy, the soaring "Tokyo Flight" highlighting Byrd's phenomenal guitar licks. Towns' moment of glory came on "Dead Of Night", his stellar jazz solos a potent reminder of what had been. For although Ian Gillan had dramatically shifted his sound, he wasn't turning his back on his career. A trio of numbers dated back to his Purple days, with the band performing an emotive version of "Child In Time" and an incendiary "Smoke On The Water," and closing the show with an exuberant "Woman From Tokyo". McCoy and Barnacle are the Rock of Gibraltar over which Towns' exhilarating keyboard dances and Byrd's guitar launches into extensive soaring, searing solos so savage that they eventually caused almost irreparable damage to his hands and wrists. But even his phenomenal work didn't stop Ritchie Blackmore from stealing the show when he took the stage for the encore, "Lucille". No wonder the crowd screams itself hoarse at the end. The sound quality, while not pristine, is good enough to capture every thrill and musical chill the band delivered. Gillan at their headiest of live heights.
Recorded Live At The Marquee Club, London On 27th December 1978.
