Another entry in the stellar live series of vintage Deep Purple concerts. This marks the first time these eight songs, recorded April 3rd in Austria's second largest city, have been released in their entirety, parts having been cannibalized for their Made In Europe single vinyl LP. The Mark III line-up would only last a few more days (just two shows), before guitarist Ritchie Blackmore would quit (ultimately forming Rainbow). It's therefore somewhat surprising his prominent solo on “Stormbringer”, the title cut from the album that hastened his departure. Historical commentary/liner notes by British scribe Geoff Barton expand upon the interpersonal context. While a subdued “The Gypsy” will never be considered amongst the Purple classics, here it allows the Man In Black to blow off steam, a rather instrumental affair. Vocals are split between David Coverdale and bassist Glenn Hughes (who handles most of the introductions and between song banter), but the revved up “Lady Double Dealer” lets the future Whitesnake singer showcase his range, as the late Jon Lord flashes fingers across the ivories. Listen for the dichotomy between singers: Coverdale understated, but possessing vocal gymnastics, while Hughes offers a cool, bluesy/funk edge, yet acts goofy outside the music. By this time, Smoke On The Water” is almost unnecessary, as a live testament. Their longstanding drummer is introduced as Ian 'Foreskin' Paice, prior to the cowbell heavy “You Fool No One”, which actually kicks off with a keyboard solo that runs through Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D Minor, as well as some histrionics. Eventually it turns into another Blackmore showcase. As was want to do, back in the 60s and 70s, there's an extended jam prior to the recognizable portion of the set closing “Space Trucking” and a lot of improvisation within (including a few voiceless bars of “Child In Time” and Hughes offering “You Gotta Dance To The Rock n Roll”). Not the place to start investigating the Brits' legacy, but a bit of a knuckleball for established fans.
