They Say...
For many fans of Deep Purple, the band was at the peak of its power circa the Machine Head era -- especially on the concert stage. With one live recording from this era already in the shops -- 1973's classic Made in Japan (often considered one of the best-ever live hard rock albums) -- this live "Purple peak" has already been documented long ago. But to commemorate the 25th anniversary of when the group was truly firing on all cylinders, another live set was issued -- 2007's Live in Denmark 1972. Most of Purple's classics are included ("Highway Star," "Black Night," etc.), except for one glaring exception -- "Smoke on the Water" (which at the time of this recording was just beginning to catch fire as one of rock's all-time great anthems and instantly recognizable riffs). However, along with Led Zeppelin, Purple were one of the leading arena bands of the time that featured overindulgent jamming that bordered on mind-numbing, and the proof here is the inclusion of several songs that stretch over the ten-minute mark -- the most glaring perpetrator being a near 25-minute (!) reading of "Space Truckin'." As a result, quite a lot of the original compositions' succinct power gets lost beneath all the blubber.
