Deep Purple/London,UK 3.16.1991

The four performances in Hammersmith were a highlight in his home country even during the unfortunate Joe Lynn Turner era. Among them, a masterpiece original recording that allows you to fully experience the third night, which is not blessed with a sound source while showing plenty of rare songs, is now available. That valuable show is “March 16, 1991 Hammersmith Odeon performance”. This work is an exquisite audience recording that conveys the whole story. I suddenly started talking about things like “highlights” and “valuables,” but without the basic information, it’s kind of a relief. First, let’s take a look back at the panoramic view of the “SLAVES AND MASTERS Tour,” which was only realized for eight 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 the only one A one-time Joe era tour. There were two European tours, one at the beginning and one at the end, and “Europe #2″ was a tour of rock developing countries such as Eastern Europe and Greece. My home country, the UK, is in the final stages of being #1 in Europe. Moreover, the traditional venue “Hammersmith Odeon” was set for the last four performances. Speaking of Hammersmith performances, our definitive album “CONQUERS LONDON (Darker Than Blue 137-140)” is also popular, but this work is a different performance. Let’s zoom in on the four days here.・March 14th “CONQUERS LONDON (Disc 1-2)” ・March 15th (2nd day) ・March 16th (3rd day) ←★This work★ ・March 17th “CONQUERS LONDON (Disc 3-4) “CONQUERS LONDON” is a set of 2 performances on the first day and the last day, and in addition to this, there will also be performances from other companies on the second day. However, on the third day, there are only partial recordings and subtle audience shots, and a masterpiece-level full live album has not been available until now. This work is a long-awaited work that conveys the panoramic view of such a valuable show, and the quality is also excellent. It is an original master only for this work brought through its own route, but the recording artist is not the “British master” who is familiar to us at our store, but his friend. I don’t know if equipment was lent or borrowed or know-how was exchanged, but this work is a masterpiece that can be considered a masterpiece. The most powerful thing is the core that reaches straight to your ear when turned on. Each instrument is neatly separated down to the individual note, and the sharp outline like a laser beam is also amazing. Although the feel of the sound is a little dusty and you cannot expect it to be as glossy, the master freshness is (of course) tremendous, and there is no distortion or cracking at the peak of the recording. Although it is a step short of the pressed “CONQUERS LONDON”, it is a wonderful live album that is on a different level from the audience recordings of Sonjosokoro. What is depicted with such original sound is a full show that has been devised because it is four consecutive nights. Of course, the basic set is the same for all four nights, but there are some songs that are replaced with play insert songs. Here, let’s organize it while comparing it with the masterpiece “CONQUERS LONDON”. 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・Hey Joe／That’ll Be The Day（★）／Difficult to Cure／A Whiter Shade Of Pale（★）／In The Hall Of The Mountain King (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard in the two performances of “CONQUERS LONDON”. …and it looks like this. Daily songs such as “King Of Dreams” and “Lazy” as well as songs such as “Hey Joe” that were only performed once at “CONQUERS LONDON” are solid. On top of that, there is a diverse repertoire, including PROCOL HARUM’s “A Whiter Shade Of Pale,” which is played as a prelude to “Lazy,” and “In The Hall Of The Mountain King,” which is inserted between “Smoke On The Water.” makes the show colorful. And the ultimate song is Buddy Holly’s famous song “That’ll Be The Day.” This also plays about a minute as an introduction to “Perfect Strangers”, but it includes a song in which everyone participates. In the first place, the original song is only about 2 minutes long, so it’s definitely worth listening to. It’s a highlight of his home country, and it’s a live album that’s diverse because it’s 4 performances at the same venue, and the repertoire is delicious because Joe sings. An original master that allows you to fully experience a collector’s night with wonderful sound. Masterpiece audience recording of “March 16, 1991 London Performance”. This is an original recording only for this work, which will appear for the first time on the third night of Hammersmith’s 4 consecutive performances, which is different from the press edition “CONQUERS LONDON”. The most powerful thing is the core that reaches straight to your ear when turned on. Each instrument is neatly separated down to the single note, and the sharp outline like a laser beam is also amazing. Because it’s four nights in a row, it has been devised, and you can enjoy not only “King Of Dreams” and “Hey Joe” but also the extremely rare “A Whiter Shade Of Pale” and “That’ll Be The Day” with songs.
