Deep Purple/Sweden 1991

The Joe Lynn Turner era has become a singular point in the history of PURPLE, producing the masterpiece “SLAVES AND MASTERS” that Ritchie Blackmore still declares to be his favorite. Two masterpiece live albums that convey the scene will be released at the same time. This work is the first of its kind. This is an excellent audience recording vacuum-packed from beginning to end of the “March 2, 1991 Gothenburg Performance”. The two albums released at the same time this week are both European tours, but at very different times. In order to imagine the situation, let’s look back at the overall picture of “SLAVES AND MASTERS TOUR”, which was realized for only 8 months.・February 4th – March 17th: Europe #1 (30 performances) ←★Here★ ・April 10th – May 15th: North America (9 performances) ・June 24th – July 3rd: Asia (6 performances) August 16th-24th: South America (7 performances) September 14th-26th: Europe #2 (5 performances) September 28th + 29th: Israel (2 performances) This is 1991 DEEP PURPLE of the year. There are European legs at the beginning and end of the tour, and the Gothenburg performance of this work is the 19th performance of “Europe #1” at the beginning. To go into more detail, the beginning of “Europe #1” goes as follows: Eastern Europe (3 performances) → Central Europe (14 performances) → Northern Europe (4 performances)…This work is the second concert of the Northern European tour. was. This work recorded at such a show is a fresh and powerful audience recording. It is a so-called vintage recording that reflects the era rather than transcending the era, but it is really fresh because it is a newly discovered young generation (1st generation) master. Anyway, the core is strong and direct, and the blazing guitar and dancing organ are both extremely powerful. In particular, the drums have plenty of mass, even the snare, which tends to be sparse, and the bass drum also kicks up all the organs. In fact, it was so powerful that it wasn’t even the best in terms of balance. The original sound that appeared on the internet seemed to be distorted even at the peak of the drum strike, but it was stable enough to avoid distortion, but it was undeniable that the ensemble as a whole was too close to the deep bass. Therefore, this work has been brushed up with careful mastering. Relaxation that was too much. Along with this, there is more room in the midrange, and the extension of the treble can now be felt vividly. Of course, this is still within the scope of vintage recording, but we have achieved a sound that is as close as possible to the sound produced by DEEP PURPLE, and that can be comfortably immersed in a music album. What is depicted with such an upgraded sound is the full show that has been gaining momentum in Ochoda’s Europe. The symbol of “Europe #1” is the long professional shot of the Czechoslovakia performance on the first day, so let’s organize the set while comparing. 70’s Classics – Phase II: Black Night/Lazy/Highway Star/Smoke on the Water – Phase III: Burn Reunion Era – Perfect Strangers: Perfect Strangers/Knocking at Your Back Door – Slaves and Masters: Truth Hurts／The Cut Runs Deep／Fire in the Basement／King Of Dreams／Love Conquers All Others・Difficult to Cure／Hey Joe (★)／Blues (★) *Note: The “★” mark is also a famous pro shot from the Ostrava performance. A song you can’t listen to. …and it looks like this. In addition to this, famous songs such as “Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll”, “Child In Time”, “Hush”, and “Woman From Tokyo” are included in various places, and “King Of Dreams” which was dropped during the tour is still available. Still alive and well. They offer a truly diverse repertoire. And even more wonderful than such a set is the performance itself. As this was the 19th show for the new lineup, the engines were warmed up and the performance was running smoothly and at full power. Richie in particular is in the groove, and from the opening “Burn” he delivers exciting and playful phrases one after another. Also, improving your skill level is directly linked to free play, and the improvisational mood that makes you say, “It’s not RAINBOW, it’s DP!” is also delicious. “Hey Joe” and “Blues”, which have become standard fare on tours, are also included. It’s catchy but not hard pop, bluesy but not blues rock. A unique British hard rock style that was created by the coexistence of Jon Lord’s organ and Joe’s husky voice, with Ritchie’s guitar leading the way. This is the newly discovered 1st Gene Master where you can experience this rare stage on-site. Exquisite audience recording of Joe Lynn Turner’s “March 2, 1991 Gothenburg Performance”. It has been digitized directly from the newly discovered 1st Gene Master, and the core is strong and direct, and the blazing guitar and dancing organ are both extremely powerful. The drums in particular have a lot of mass, and the bass drum also kicks up with a thud. As it was the 19th performance of the tour, the engine was warmed up and the performance was running smoothly and at full power. Richie in particular is in the groove, and you can experience a full show with a series of exciting phrases from “Burn”.
