Deep Purple/Germany 6.29.1985 Complete

From the European tour accompanying “Perfect Strangers” in 1985, Germany’s Mannheim performance on June 29th was completely recorded for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes with the highest level of high-quality audience recording. It is recorded in perfect master quality, and everyone will be surprised by the wonderful sound quality! The famous live performance during this period was the Knebworth performance on June 22nd, but this performance was held a week later, and perhaps because it was Richie’s favorite performance in Germany, I was able to hear a very lively performance. Masu. Throughout, it is recorded with the highest sound quality of the tour, approaching a line recording with outstanding stability, and there is no doubt that it is the highest quality item as a recording of the 1985 European tour. (Only for Highway Star, the missing parts were replaced with a different sound source on the day, but this supplementary take also has a wonderful sound, so you can listen to the performance without stress.) Richie is incredibly motivated and enthusiastic. In front of a friendly and friendly audience, he performed in a very positive mood. Even in the dialogue with Guillain of Strange Kind Of Woman, you can listen to lively play like the height of the 70’s. Perhaps there was a partial problem with the organ in the middle of A Gypsy’s Kiss, and John plays the middle union and solo on the piano, and the rock’n’roll style piano backing with speed tune sounds fresh in the second half. In the next song, Knockin’ At Your Back Door, the organ is fine, but after the song ends, you can hear it making a clunking sound while making adjustments. The effect of the intro of Under The Gun also has a good sound, so it was recorded with great force, and Richie’s messy solo in the second half is also full of power. This day is Ian Paice’s birthday, so after the drum solo following Lazy, Gillan introduces him and the audience sings “Happy Birthday”. For some reason, the intro to Child In Time causes clapping, and the audience sings along to the melody. You can enjoy the special mood that makes it clear how much the performance of this song was long-awaited at the time. The tightly organized Perfect Strangers is also a great listen. The sound balance is also the best, and you can clearly hear all of Richie’s plays, including his solos and backing plays. In the second half of Space Truckin’, where you can enjoy an impressive solo time, the Mandrake Root part has a great stereo recording, so the hysterical sounds of the guitar and organ fly from side to side. This is the highest quality album that can be said to be a big hit title for the reunion Purple. Live at Mainmarktgelande, Mannheim, Germany 29th June 1985 TRULY AMAZING SOUND Disc 1 1. Intro. 2.
