Update: DEEP PURPLE Gets Simultaneous CD And Double DVD Treatment June 12th
May 31, 2007, 17 years ago
Eagle Rock Entertainment, through two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, will release on June 12th They All Came Down To Montreux: DEEP PURPLE Live At Montreux 2006 as a deluxe 187-minute two-DVD set (Eagle Eye Media, $19.98) and CD (Eagle Records, $13.98). Prebook date for both is May 18th. On June 26th, an HD-DVD version will be released.
No other band is so closely identified with Montreux as Deep Purple because of the song 'Smoke On The Water' and it's signature first line. That’s why, in 2006, the band was chosen to close the final night of the 40th annual fest in Switzerland. DP’s lineup is stronger than ever. While on tour to promote its current Rapture Of The Deep CD, its gig last year on this prestigious stage proved totally triumphant. Singer Ian Gillan, guitarist Steve Morse, bassist Roger Glover, drummer Ian Paice and keyboardist Don Airey plowed through a glowing set of 16 songs - one of which, 'Too Much Fun', was written specifically for the occasion.
DVD Disc #1: 'Pictures Of Home', 'Things I Never Said', 'Strange Kind Of Woman', 'Rapture Of The Deep', 'Wrong Man', 'The Well-Dressed Guitar', 'Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye', 'When A Blind Man Cries', 'Lazy', Keyboard Solo, 'Space Truckin’', 'Highway Star', 'Smoke On The Water', 'Hush', 'Too Much Fun', 'Black Night'.
DVD Bonus Disc #2 (London Hard Rock): 'Fireball', 'I Got Your Number', 'Strange Kind Of Woman', 'Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye', 'Rapture Of The Deep', 'Wrong Man', 'Lazy', 'Perfect Strangers', 'Highway Star', 'Smoke On The Water'.
CD tracklisting: 'Pictures Of Home', 'Things I Never Said', 'Strange Kind Of Woman', 'Rapture Of The Deep', 'Wrong Man', 'Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye', 'When A Blind Man Cries', 'Lazy', Keyboard Solo, 'Space Truckin’', 'Highway Star', 'Smoke On The Water'.
