Deep Purple Giuffria Deep Purple Giuffria/CA,USA 02.01.1985 Complete Upgrade

A new masterpiece has been unearthed from the ever-popular “Marco Moir” collection! This time, it’s a full live album that lets you experience the glorious “PERFECT STRANGERS Tour”! This work captures the “February 1, 1985 Long Beach performance.” It’s a vacuum-packed, ultra-thick audience recording featuring not only the main act, DEEP PURPLE, but also the opening act, GIUFFRIA. While we archive the entire history of DEEP PURPLE, the “PERFECT STRANGERS Tour” is highly sought after as it marked the band’s first reunion. While also organizing this collection, let’s first take a look at the band’s activities at the time and examine the position of this work. 1984 (October 29th “PERFECT STRANGERS” released) (November 12th “GIUFFRIA” released) November 27th – December 18th: Oceania (13 shows) ← ※ Official video 1985 January 18th – April 9th: North America #1 (47 shows) ← ★ Here ★ May 3rd: Honolulu performance May 8th – 16th: Japan (8 shows) ← ※ OSAKA 1985 1ST NIGHT etc. June 14th – July 17th: Europe (17 shows) ← ※ PERFECT KNEBWORTH 1985 etc. August 14th – 24th: North America #2 (6 shows) This is DEEP PURPLE in 1984/1985. They started in Australia and toured the world, but the main event was undoubtedly the “North America #1” leg. Due to the large number of performances, the records are extensive. Let’s focus on the dates further. Details of “North America #1”: January 18th-28th (7 performances) * January 31st “PERFECT COW PALACE” * February 1st: Long Beach performance ←★This work★ * February 2nd-15th (8 performances) * February 16th + 17th “PERFECT CHICAGO NIGHTS” * February 19th “DETROIT 1985” * February 20th “RICHFIELD 1985 1ST NIGHT” * February 21st-26th (4 performances) * February 28th-March 3rd “WORCESTER 1985” * March 4th-31st (15 performances) * April 1st “PURPLE LEAF GARDENS” * April 3rd-9th (4 performances) … and so on. This work, recorded at such locations, is truly a masterpiece of the “Marco Moir” collection. While the recordings have long been well-known, the sound quality is unmatched. While previous masters have required listening while searching for details among the rough dubbing marks, this work’s beautiful, extra-thick core dominates the entire album, allowing even the most subtle details to flow into your brain without concentration. While the thunderous applause at the height of their popularity is palpable, the powerful sound of the performance, which never gives up its leading role, is captivating. Moreover, it’s overwhelmingly natural. While the first Gen album was released about 10 years ago, this time it’s the original cassette from the recording artist’s own collection. There’s no sign of dubbing marks, Ian Gillan’s shouts flow beautifully and straight without the slightest distortion, and Ian Paice’s virtuosity is as delicate as the vibration of a leather strap. Of course, the Stratocaster sings and dances beautifully, and even the playful phrases seem to move with the movements of his fingers. What’s more, you can even enjoy GIUFFRIA, which opened the album with such a thick, natural, beautiful sound. They were a hidden gem of a band that vanished, leaving behind only two studio albums. Experience a live performance from a hidden gem that was virtually unknown even through bootlegs. This newly unearthed live album spans 40 years of time and space, transporting you to the “PERFECT STRANGERS Tour.” Not only does it boast the sound quality that further enhances the fame of the “Marco Moir” collection, but it also includes the precious Giuffria. This cultural heritage album allows you to fully experience the dreamlike night of 1985.
