These
freeze frames were part of a Wochenschau (cinema news reel) from early
1971 concerning Deep
Purple's riot blighted tour of Germany in November / December 1970.
The 90 seconds of footage feature riot scenes with water cannon being
deployed by the police, Ian Gillan's opinion of the situation, and a
clip of 'Black Night' live in Hamburg, December 1970. The item is available
on DVD (pictured left). DP(O) have located longer versions of the footage
for hopeful use on a future Deep Purple DVD Archive release.
