March 12, 2014, 10 years ago
In honor of the 40th Anniversary of the historic California Jam Festival, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release DEEP PURPLE Live In California 74 for the first time on CD and Digital Audio on April 1st.
By the mid-seventies, Deep Purple was one of the biggest selling rock acts in America, and Live In California 74 demonstrates exactly why. Taking place at the end of their 28-date tour promoting Burn, the CD showcases the band performing before 200,000 people as the headliner of the Cal Jam Festival. Closing their trek with a triumphant climax, the potent line-up of Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), David Coverdale (vocals), Glenn Hughes (bass), Jon Lord (keyboards), and Ian Paice (drums) pummel through an explosive set of songs from Burn, as well as classics like 'Space Truckin’' and 'Smoke On The Water'.
40 years later, this set still resonates as a concert for the ages. Previously released on DVD in 2006, the Live In California 74 album is an absolutely must-have for any Deep Purple fan’s collection.
Tracklisting:
'Burn'
'Might Just Take Your Life'
'Lay Down, Stay Down'
