Or ‘Live In Japan’,’Chase The Rainbow’,’Recorded Live’, and ‘Rising Sun’ to name some of the various titles it has had! This is a double album but you’ll be lucky if your clock reads anything over 50 minutes. ‘Kill The King’ is the best track , it has rarely sounded better. After it, nothing works quite as well, though Ritchie’s solo in ‘Mistreated’ is simply one of the best he’s done on record. Pure feeling and experimentation, it’s bloody lovely.

As soon as Gillan began to sing it was clear that he was going to have a hard time. He took to the screaming in ‘Child In Time’ like he’d never been away, but hidden by his hair, his hand was clutching at his throat. The group were good, though they seemed to be playing for themselves and not the audience. ‘Smoke..’ was played through a wah-wah pedal! It’s about time somebody took the piss out of it. His voice incapable of much subtlety, Gillan took to screaming the last verse. Must have been agony, but it sounded great.

‘Sunny Days’ was written about the last Deep Purple tour of America, ‘Lady’ and ‘Time On My Side’ were for the Purple album after Come Taste, but were obviously not used. A shame, as they lack the strength here that the Purple team could have endowed them with. Coverdale reckons the solo in ‘Whitesnake’ will “give Blackmore a run for his money.” Sorry to disagree David….

Right, what have we got then? Seven numbers so far (not counting an alternative version of one song). ‘Northwinds’ starts the thing off, my second favourite already, better than anything on ‘Whitesnake’. Much of the improvement on this album is due to the fact that it sounds as if the vocals and backings have been done much closer together, and are far more sympathetic to one another. ‘Only My Soul’ is the track as far as I’m concerned. Plenty of musical variety and dynamics. End a live act with that and you’ll slay ‘em lad!
