I was excited when I heard this release announced. As mentioned above there are very few Deep Purple with Bolin titles period and when I got and listened to this I was not disappointed. This is one I can crank up loud and enjoy the ambiance. I also have the official release and would recommend to any DP collector of this era however this Tarantura has a entirely different vibe and at times I feel that I’m at the concert next to Bolin. I also wanted to mention that the 1st edition is sold out and it’s possible there will be a 2nd edition in the future. I do believe this is the 1st “DP” Tarantura release and here’s hoping there’s more material in their vaults.

I’m very excited about the new “Super Group” with Glenn Hughes.

The sound quality is very good, similar to the Mr Peach Rainbow recordings from 1976. It is not close to the official sound board release of this show, it is a well balanced recording that is very enjoyable and has a different perpective thn the officla release. If you are a fan of the Come tase era or Tommy Bolin this is a great release. I am not sure but this may be the first Tarantura Deep Purple boot.

Dear zeppy, please, go deeper in your sound quality feedback. The sound on the official release is *great*, IMHO. Is it really the sound quality or is the “feeling” from the audience?

no offense taken or given, I was just trying to explain myself. I was very excited about this release, I have the official release, the dvd, and now the audience tape. I really enjoyed this release and hope others who bought it do the same. I guess the bottom line is there is nothing new here other than another great Mr Peach recording of a very well covered show, the iceing on the cale so to say.

Relayer67, as DIMIP wrote, don’t get angry, my friend! ;) I do consider myself a collector and the question was posted to learn more about the release itself or, in other words, to convince myself to order the title. I like the show and I like Deep Purple a lot.

tmoq, a person whom you know on the internet, dlee, whose pc i use sometimes when i show up here, but who may no longer be submitting his own responses or messages here, says that if you have the official very best of deep purple 1cd by warner archives/rhino, you can find the detailed info. about the different band lineups on page 14 of the front insert booklet. on page 15 there’s also some recommended deep purple web pages that may help you.

Wikipedia does a good job.

Or search for Deep Purple Appreciation Society.

Can anyone recommend a website that details all the different Deep Purple line-ups; Mark I, Mark II, etc.?
I can never keep them straight and could really utilize a site that breaks down all the line-ups over the years. Thanks in advance!

No need to get angry mate, I was not critical towards your review or the fact that you did it, but just wondering the point of the release itself which apparently is nothing more than an audience version of the official tape (which is already great, complete and in remastered soundboard quality), and inquiring about the real need to have it or not.
Cheers and a (virtual) brew for you !

I guess the point is if you like the show / band you will get it, I do and am happy with it. It has a different vibe and feel to the official release. Everything on this site is all a matter of preferance, look at Zeppelin collectors. How many versions of 6/21/77 or 9/4/70 does one need but people still buy them. people discuss the new Stones get your ya yas out that is nothing more than an official release with the tracks in the right order but still people buy it. if you dont like it dont buy it.I reviewed the title for people who are interested in buying it but what to know about the recording quality, packaging etc. For me there are not alot of Tommy Bolin era boots so when one comes out in very acceptable quality I am on it.

I was about to ask the same question DIMIP just did. What’s the point of getting this show as it was released officially in its entirety?

Is there really a point getting this while the pretty great official soundboard This Time Around – Live In Tokyo is widely available ?
