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.

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

Yes, I've always believed Deep Purple sound much better live than in the studio. After all, they're in the Guinness Book of Records as the loudest band in the world. Smile

My vote remains as is. I can't think of many bands where a live album is simply the culmination of everything a band is. There are many bands that I've seen who were simply awe-inspiring in concert  (Floyd, Tull, Genesis, King Crimson, Sabbath, Neil Young, etc.) but never once would I put one of their live albums over a studio release. The only other band I can think of off-hand where a live album transcends their entire discography is The Allman Brothers' Live At Fillmore East.

Mmmhh!!... With RDMH, Purple was doing a bit the Vanilla Fudge treatment of classic Motown, but it's overblown (the unmentionned Alzo Spacht Zara inclusion) and almost a tad bit ridiculous (compared to VF's covers), especially when you listen to the original Ike & Tina version.

Hardly that Taliesin album's high point, but still OK in my book.


You won't be surprised to hear I'm a big fan of Vanilla Fudge too. I love overblown prog. Smile

I know they're not British. That's why Vanilla Fudge aren't included in my A-Z of British prog. Smile
