Deep Purple- LIVE IN AMSTERDAM 1969- CD- 21.10.2013- Top Gear- 3365537740100- 400 grn
The takeaway from this is the strength and hope in Mark II early in their career. The whole band was lively, rejuvenated and in full creative control. Regarding the tracks, only “Kneel And Pray” did not regularly appear on the Purple circuit. This is probably for the best, as it’s not only quite dirty, but boring in it’s lyrics. Also of note is the fact that the band is already consciously moving away from Mark I material, proving implicitly that the band has entered a new phase of their musical lives. The two new players get their chances to shine. The sound favors Ian Gillan, who proves from the outset his magnetic personality and silver voice. Giggles during “Mandrake Root” are infectious, and his admiration for his bandmates already is apparent. For instance, soon after Jon Lord’s solo (unfortunately cut off because it is on the released track), he cries “nice one, Jon!” It is these small, personal touches which make him so delightful. Meanwhile, his performance is nothing short of glorious. The best track is “Child In Time”. He leaves nothing vocally to the imagination. Feeling, pitch, variation…minus a few missed lyrics at the start, this was literal perfection. There are no notes out of tune for the rest of the concert either. He hit the ground running, proving his worth and versatility well and quickly. Roger Glover already hard at work navigating the space between band veterans Jon Lord and Ian Paice says enough about his talent and fit for the band. What, might you ask, about the leftover trio from the first lineup? Jon Lord has his solo on the officially released material. However, he provides an energetic and powerful showing, backing up Ian but not hesitating to run back to the spotlight when he has a moment. Ritchie Blackmore, meanwhile, is credited as the creator and the single most important member of Deep Purple and was instrumental in the first and many of the subsequent lineup changes. This concert comes near the beginning of his attempts to assert greater control of the band, and thus is worth taking a look at. It is Ian Paice who gives the best instrumental solo. There’s an unrestrained eagerness to his playing, featuring a solo with tons of varied tempos, rhythms and even levels of volume. It felt less like a solo and more like an experiment with the instrument. Track 5 is a compilation from 3 gigs: Amsterdam (24th August 1969), Essen (11th October 1969) and Bilzen (22nd August 1969). Track 6 recorded live at Musichalle, Hamburg, Germany on 2nd June 1970. If your into collecting Deep Purple CD's, then be aware that: a) this is a Bootleg; b) this is not the full show. The sound is not bad for the age of the recording, but some of the songs are edited and pieced together. This show is from the Paradiso, one of the earliest Ian Gillan shows. If you want the complete show without edits look for a 2CD set called April Fools. This is also a Bootleg but it is the only way to get the complete Paridiso show. Historically, this one of the earliest Deep Purple Mark II show. Highly recommend trying to find a copy and step back to the days when Deep Purple was just beginning to lay out the glorious future they would some day follow. If you're reading this, do yourself a favor and try to find April Fools, it's a much better version. Gotta Hear 'Em All!
