January 29, 2007, 17 years ago
As previously reported, DEEP PURPLE frontman IAN GILLAN's 40th anniversary (that's 40 years as a professional musician...), DVD has been through a number of changes over the last twelve months. First an internet only edition, then only available via IG's web site, etc. but now appears to have settled down as a double-DVD edition on a major label, available Europe wide (and through DPAS mail order.
Titled Highway Star - A Journey In Rock, DVD 1 is a two and a half hour documentary featuring interviews with Ian Gillan, Pavarotti, Tim Rice, George Best, Roger Glover, Ronnie Dio and many more, along with performance clips etc. DVD 2 is a bonus disc, with features including another documentary of Ian Gillan on tour, titled End Of Tour Blues, with 12 complete tracks from gigs in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Cardiff and Plymouth (1hr 45min); GillanCam, half-an-hour of heavily distilled footage filmed by IG himself; and lots of extras. The total running time of the two discs is 380 mins (that's well over six hours) and it's initially available in a limited edition hardback book.
