Having first bought the record 30 years ago I was delighted to discover that the concert had also been recorded on film. The DVD portrays the performance very much better than the audio track alone.
The sound and video quality are surprisingly good and Jon Lord's commentary gives fascinating insight into the event. The concert beautifully shows how far apart the worlds of classical and rock music were at that time. It is one of the first bridges between the 2 musical genres demonstrating that they could in future complement each other and live comfortably together.

Sadly I was only 4 when JL launched himself into writing this classical masterpiece in 12 weeks (through uneeded pressure by management) and sadly had to wait a further 30 years to relive what was clearly a piece of music history at the RAH in 1999. The original video has reasonable sound quality for the time and having all these years listened to the LP its great to see Richie play his original Gibson and DP mk2 (after their first live performance of Child in Time) create a master performance which would unfold into what is clearly the best band that ever walked this planet - buy it even to play along side the 1999 RPO performance.

I was 12 years old When this was shown on the BBC, my Father was watching and not convinced that it had worked at all and 'Not' a Deep Purple fan. In the space of a few years I had become a Big Rock music Fan 'Purple' being my favourite band. A band my Father had accidently introduced me to. But enough of my old memories, This was the beginning of Musical fusion between Rock & Classical, and to my mind a new beginning for the musical world. Jon Lord wrote and scored a wonderful piece of history and subsequently changed many peoples views. This is a legacy that will stand for all time, listen, learn and enjoy. Jon has been diagnosed with cancer in late 2011 and I for one wish him god speed in his recovery.

Where's drum solo?
Strange that nobody's noticed that one of the best ever Ian Paice's drum solos was cut out (comparing to audio CD). It's a real shame and that's why I'll keep to CD (and vinyl).

A good release
The picture quality is very good. Though overall the performance is not a good as the 1999 production. Read more
