^ your album ratings should come up with warnings, like cigarettes & alcohol. 
Warning - reading this might cause unexpected headaches, frustration and sometimes laughter. Read at your own risk. LOL

1. In Rock
2. Burn
3. Fireball
4. Deep Purple
5. Machine Head - great material but the production and performance sounds a bit lifeless to my ears.  I've always preferred the more energised versions of Highway Star, Space Truckin et al on Made in Japan.
6. The Book of Taliesyn
7. Stormbringer
"And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!"

Don't forget it's studio albums only. Wink

You have to admit, that Deep Purple in Paris concert is pretty good quality if it's a "bootleg" recording. Smile

In the past (possibly still) TV stations were getting rights and made contracts to broadcast live performances, I've seen quite a few shows on TV, rock, jazz and metal concerts. 
I wouldn't be surprised that Live in Paris was on TV in France.

Filmed on a mobile phone in1985? What are you smoking? I want some of it, too. LOL
Possibly filmed for television. 
I said some of the more recent bootlegs are clearly filmed on a mobile phone. Smile

oh, my bad.
those are not bootlegs though.

I'm quite surprised by that, I'll have to check them out again.


Alan, despite some shaky covers (and even that is debatable), Purple was never so inventive than on those first three albums. I mean I could do without Help, Kentucky Woman, River Deep and Laleņa, but none of them are atrocious, far from it. I'm So Glad, Hush, Hey Joe and We Work It Out are great

But it's really their own stuff that's amazing.
It's interesting stuff, but it does sound a bit "of its time" (the first track reminds me of The Dukes of Stratosphear) and the less said about "We can work it out" the better.

1. Made in Japan (1972)
2. In Concert with the London Symphony Orchestra (2000)
3. California Jam (1974)
4. Made in Europe (1976)
5. Live in Paris (1985)
6. Come Hell or High Water (1994)
7. Live in Montreux (2011)
 

really? Do you mean to say that no studio album is worth having in the list?
Also songs repeat on live releases. 
Yes, I've always believed Deep Purple sound much better live than in the studio. 

if the songs created in the studio are good, obviously they're gonna sound great live - best example Highway Star in the 70s and Perfect Strangers later in the 80s and 90s. 

Also Come Hell or High Water is not a great live album, it's listenable, but story goes the tour was a bit of a nightmare,  Ritchie was again difficult to work with, never gave interviews, was arrogant, again fighting especially with Gillan, and so on. 

Live in Paris (1985) is a bootleg LOL - 5 stars bootleg ? ConfusedLOL
