TITLE "MK III - THE FINAL CONCERTS CD1"
PERFORMER "DEEP PURPLE"
MESSAGE "Mk III : The Final Concerts - Disc 1 of 2 \251 1996 Connoisseur Collection/Deep Purple (Overseas) Ltd. Originally Recorded live in Graz, Austria on 4th April 1975 (tracks 1, 2, 8, 10 & 11) and Paris on 7th April 1975 (tracks 3-7 & 9) Originally Released August 16, 1996 (UK) \"Archive Alive\" Originally Released May 20, 1997 (USA) Connoisseur Collection Originally Released June 30, 1998 (USA) AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Archive Alive is a double-disc set of previously unreleased live material from Deep Purple, including a complete concert from the group's peak period in the mid-'70s. In addition to the full concert, there's a selection of bonus tracks, and taken together, the set offers a good portrait of Deep Purple live on stage, making it a nice addition to the serious collector's library. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine AMG EXPERT REVIEW: If you were to declare \"Deep Purple is my favorite band,\" then a fitting immediate question would be \"What era/lineup?\" Unlike some bands that stick to the same lineup from the beginning to end of their careers, Purple are one of the few rock bands to retain their following despite numerous lineup shuffles over the years. One of the most drastic moves was jettisoning Ian Gillan and Roger Glover in favor of David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes -- a move (supposedly at the behest of Ritchie Blackmore) that was supposed to help expand the group musically. While Purple didincorporate more soul/R&B sounds on such subsequent releases as Burn and Stormbringer, it did not help elongate the shelf life ofthe lineup, as Blackmore himself was gone with the wind by early1975. As the title of 2004's The Final Concerts attests, this 11-track live set features selected performances from the final moments of Purple's Mk III lineup -- and as heard on such standouts as the title tracks from both Burn and Stormbringer, the lineup was still strong enough to blow the roof off any arena. But as with the majority of arena rock acts of the early to mid-'70s, Purple could turn into a woefully self-indulgent beast in concert: case in point, painfully long versions of such classics as \"Smoke onthe Water\" and \"Space Truckin'\" (the latter of which almost reaches 20 minutes), which feature way too much mind-numbingly meandering jams/solos that manage to sap the power of the succinct original versions. To their credit, though, Purple were certainly notthe only notable rock band at the time indulging in overboard live improv (just give Led Zeppelin's How the West Was Won a listen). -- Greg Prato Amazon.com Product Description Two disc set from Ritchie Blackmore's 1975 farewell tour & his final concert in Paris. All tracks are previously unreleased and are restored& remixed Sony Super Bit Mapped Masters. This is the full concert ('Made In Europe' only hadfive tracks), plus two very differenttakes of 'Mistreated' & 'You Fool No One' as bonus tracks. Also has authoritative sleevenotes & photos. 11 tracks total. Double jewel case. 1996 release on Connoisseur. Half.com N/A AMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW (Archive Alive Edition) Full of interest for the fan and collector alike., June 14, 1999 By A Customer 1972 there was Made in Japan (Mk 2) and 1976 there was the release of Made in Europe (Mk. 3 feat. David Coverdale (Whitesnake) and Glenn Hughes (ex. Trapeze and Black Sabbath). The latter consisted of songs recorded in early 1975 in Saarbruecken, Paris and Graz. These were Ritchie Blackmores final concerts before the foundation of Rainbow and his departure from Deep Purple. This CD herefeature a complete gig compiled of unissued material from Paris and Graz. There are also two bonus tracks and a Mk 3 version of Going Down as well as the first ever live version of Gypsy. Released originally 1996 in Europe as \"Mk 3: The final concerts\" (Connoisseur) this double set is a useful souvenir of some great Mk 3 playing and sound-wise a lot better than California Jamming/Live at the California Jam. As a bonus, it contains three songs from the Stormbringer album. Full of powerful and virtuoso playing the set is driven forward by the whole band towards the guitar splintering climax. Not the most vital Deep Purple recordings ever but certainly full of interest for the fan and collector alike. Recommended. AMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW (Archive Alive Edition) Sloppy, Uninspired and somebody please turn Glen's mic off!, October 22, 1999 By A Customer \"Burn\" and \"Stormbringer\" are my 2 favorite DP albums, but this cd is weak. Most of the problems lie in the vocal performance. Coverdale's cracking and Hughes' caterwalling make it almost unforgivable. The ending of Mistreated (both times) is so bad, it will make your teeth rattle. I give it 2 stars only because of the great guitar work by Blackmore. It's best to stick to the studio albums, if you like Blackmore's live playing check out Rainbow On Stage.....much better!! AMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW (Connoisseur) At Last The 1975 Album, May 6, 2002 By A Customer Back in 1975 after being told of Ritchie Blackmore's intention to leave the ranks of Deep Purple, and fearing that this would be the end of the band, Purple's managementdecided to cover their bases by recording the final shows on theSpring 1975 European tour with the intention of putting out a double live album in the event that the band folded. Well they didn't....at least not for another year, by which time the tapes had been shelved. When the band finally dissolved in 1976, the management leapt on this opportunity and released what turned out tobe the first in a very long line of Deep Purple exploitation albums. Don't get me wrong, \"Made In Europe\" was OK, if you ignore the fact that the applause was a tape loop, the songs were hacked together from the best bits of each version recorded on the tour,and the label of the original LP had a picture of Tommy Bolin. Talk about crass!! But there are people out there who love DeepPurple, and this is one of the many results. With this release the feeling of a \"real\" concert has been restored, the running order has been reinstated, and we get to hear the Mark III line-up run through some great songs. Ignore some of the editorial on this album. \"Stormbringer\" was issued on \"Made In Europe\" along with \"Burn\", \"Mistreated\", \"Lady Double Dealer\", and \"You Fool No One\". It is the tracks they didn't bother with the first time around that hold some of the surprises. The inclusion of \"Gypsy\" is something of a surprise, coming as it does from the album which forced Blackmore to reconsider his position, and one which he described as cr*p! What is nice about CDs is the ability to include alternate versions. OK, in many cases they don't bring anythingnew, but at least it gives an idea of what went on at different shows, and if you don't like one version you can program an alternative. Some of the reviews from the time said that Blackmore was preoccupied with his own project during this tour, but it is hard to figure out where this new material was sneaked in. \"Burn\"blasts the show open as it always did, and the medley of \"Going Down/Highway Star\" brings the show to a high-octane ending. All in all, this makes a much better souvenir of the final 1975 shows than \"Made In Europe\" although after all these years it would be nice to play the two albums back-to-back to hear the differences. Maybe it is time that the fans had more input into the posthumous releases of their favorite bands. Does this album rate 5 stars? To this listener, yes it does...but you be the judge. AMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW (Connoisseur) Glenn Hughes \"attempt at singing\" ruins this one for me, August 24, 2005 By Dominick\"DJD\" (Contoocook, NH) Glenn Hughes' voice was obviously shotby this final leg of the tour, so instead of maybe just shuttinghis mouth or taking it easy, he still \"tries\" to sing. But it must hurt with the vocal chords being that worn out. So he instead howls and shouts and does a good job of mucking up most of the vocal sections he shares with Coverdale. Most notably ruined; Stormbringer & Burn. Great live set otherwise, especially when they do songs where Glenn's vocals are not necessary. It is reasonably priced for a 2CD set, but look for a used copy first if this sub-par vocal performace has you feeling wary. -- RELATED INFO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ from Wikipedia.com HISTORY MK III: The Final Concerts, alternatively entitled Archive Alive, is a live album released by Deep Purple, recorded during the band's 1975 European tour in support of Stormbringer. It was released in 1996. This double CD release is culled from the very last performances from Deep Purple MK III featuring Ritchie Blackmore before he left to launch his new band Rainbow with singer Ronnie James Dio. The album features for the most part material from the last concert of the tour held at the Palais des Sports in Paris on April 7, 1975, with a few tracks taken from two shows in Graz, Austria, April 3 and 4. At the time of the taping of the shows, the rest of the band was unaware of Blackmore's decision to leave the band by tour's end. Managers decided to tape the last 4shows (Paris, Graz and Saarbrucken) in order to have some product available for release in the event of the band splitting up. After the end of the tour, and facing the prospect of the end ofthe band, Jon Lord mentioned to the press the upcoming release of a double live set consisting of performances from the last European tour. However, as the band decided to carry on, the plans for the release were scrapped. In 1976, after the definitive breakup of the band, the single disc Made in Europe live album was released, using some of the material previously mentioned by Lord (from the Saarbrucken show), but apparently none of the material included on this release. Made in Europe was met with mixed reactions, as some argued that it failed to capture the energy that the band displayed live. Additionally, some resented what they feltwas a healthy amount of studio editing. Blackmore's lack of enthusiasm, as well as band tension onstage, are fairly evident onsome of the tracks: Blackmore unexpectedly loses his way on the intro for \"Mistreated\" and he seems totally surprised by Lord's solo on \"Lady Double Dealer\" (the studio version of this song lacks a keyboard solo). The alternate takes of \"Mistreated\" and \"You Fool No One\" on disc two are from the Graz shows, and althoughthe liner notes mention \"technical problems\" on the Paris tapes as the justification for their inclusion, it is more likely that their inclusion has more to do with mistakes by the band. Strangely, the alternate take of \"You Fool No One\" lacks Ian Paice's trademark drum solo, even after being announced by David Coverdale. During the intro jam for \"You Fool No One\" Blackmore playedriffs which he would later use on the songs \"Still I'm Sad\" and \"Man On The Silver Mountain\" from Rainbow's first LP Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, which was already recorded only weeks before these shows. -- RELATED INFO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ from All-Reviews.com Review by Keith \"MuzikMan\" Hannaleck Just when you think you have heard all of the live Deep Purple albums and another surfaces. Don't you love it? Well I suppose you would if you were a big fan like I was. \"MKIII The Final Concerts\" was originally titled \"Live In Europe.\" Its actually different recordings from that same timeframe, but its also the last three days of concerts with Ritchie Blackmore before he left the group. This group has been around for so long and have had so many incarnations, it isn't real hard to imagine that they would have a hugearchive of studio and live tapes hanging around just waiting to grabbed from the shelves to be remastered and remarketed to theiradoring faithful. It works for me. I am not the only one that gobbles up this stuff, there are many more out there just like me. I happen to really enjoy this version of Deep Purple with David Coverdale (vocals) and Glen Hughes (bass, vocals). They gave the band a good shot of soul and funk. This however was not to Mr. Blackmore's (the original guitar player and founding member) liking,he thought that most of the music they made during that time wasgarbage. It seems Blackmore thought the albums 'Burn' and 'Stormbringer' were too funky for his taste. He would rather be playingpretty music, or hard rock. Well that was taken care of shortly after this concert was recorded. Blackmore took off on a nine year venture with his new group Rainbow, which by the way is a groupI really liked, especially the first two albums. The versionof 'Smoke On The Water' on this two-disc set was hard to swallow. The music was terrific as usual, but it just didn't sound rightwith Coverdale singing it, Ian Gillan was sorely missed on that tune. However, that is the only song on this entire set were I feel the pre MKIII lineup could have been more appreciated. Everything from 'Burn' and 'Stormbringer' offered excellent live funky and soulful versions thanks to Coverdale and Hughes playing off ofeach other so well. Hughes seemed to really get in a good groovewhen Coverdale was on lead vocals, although you can hear how hisbass becomes less innovative when he is singing lead. That seemslike it would be a perfectly natural transition, there are very few bass players that can do both at the same time exceptionally well. 'Space Truckin' is an immensely long song (19:56), and a very interesting one at that. Even though this was a pre MKIII tune, the new members don't bat an eyelash and they make it their own. A lot of improvising is done by each member on their instruments, proving that it didn't matter what state of mind that band wasin or who was in the lineup, they still were one of the greatestlive rock shows on the earth. 'Going Down/Highway Star' turns into a medley of sorts, and it rocks with plenty of great guitar licks from Blackmore and some outstanding bass playing by Hughes. The shining moment for Blackmore is the red-hot closer 'You Fool No One.' Ritchie's guitar playing is breathtaking, and the band sounded like they had reached their peak as a live unit. This seemslike a fitting end, and the song is placed perfectly in order ironically. Maybe Ritchie was fooling no one and everyone did know that he was on the way out. None of that really matters anymore. This is a great live Deep Purple album and should waste no time in getting it. -- RELATED INFO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ from JohnMcFerrinMusicReviews.org Mk III - The Final Concerts - 1996 Connoisseur Rating: 7 (10) You know, there comes a point where buying as many of a band's albums as you can leavesthe realm of completism and just becomes masochism. Seeing as I'm not a fan of Mk3 to begin with, and I already had a live album of this incarnation (taken from the same shows no less, though the renditions here are not the same as the renditions there), I cannot begin to understand what exactly it was that caused me to buy this (NEW, no less). Fortunately, it's no worse than Made inEurope, and even better in some ways. The first version of Mistreated is absolutely astounding, as Ritchie slowly works into the introduction and then just WAILS that slow, emotional guitar line(missing some notes, but to good effect) in a way that outdoes just about every other power-metal ballad that would be made afterwards. Plus, David continues to prove that there is one song in the world that justifies his existence; I could do without the parts where David is basically whaling solo, but they could be worse, and everything else in the performance is just dandy. Elsewhere, the other songs that also had renditions on Europe work justas well here as there (heck, I'd say Lady Double Dealer works better), and even Gypsy sounds better live than in the studio. Cometo think of it, the only significant problems (aside from that You Fool No One endless drum solo) on here come when the band decides to tackle Mk. 2 material. Smoke on the Water is really limp here (tasty introductory licks from Lazy aside), done too fast to preserve the intensity that was always its strongest point (not to mention that Dave and Glenn can't sound convincing when singinghere). Space Truckin', despite some twists in the jam that I appreciate (the quick quote of Child in Time especially), has some seriously ugly synth noises, not to mention that Dave isn't at allin tune when he's singing in the verses. And Highway Star, you may ask? \"She's got big fat tits, big fat tits and everything.\" Enough said, shut your mouth Dave. Still, it all could be a lot worse. Throw in alternate versions of Mistreated (which rules, naturally) and You Fool No One (which doesn't really, but whatever), and this can honestly function as all the Mk. 3 Purple you need. Which more or less makes it worth having, I guess."
