Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This double-CD set, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in late 1999, is best thought of as an encapsulation of the inevitable. Deep Purple were the first band to note that heavy metal and classical music shared a certain deluded grandeur and attempted to combine the two. While what resulted--specifically, their "Concerto For Group & Orchestra"--was pretty fearful stuff, it did, for better or for worse, pave the way for a generation of classically influenced heavy rock bands: King Crimson, Yes and Queen, among others. "Concerto" features here, played for the first time in years, alongside a bunch of the Purple's more genteel songs. Ian Gillan, who can still do a creditable impression of a bomber revving for takeoff, shares vocals with Ronnie James Dio and Sam Brown. The all-hands-on-deck encore of "Smoke On The Water" is included as a CD video, confirming that it all looked, on the night, as engagingly preposterous as it sounded. --Andrew Mueller

Description
This 1999 two-disc live set features the long-running heavymetallurgists with high-class symphonic backing, in a program of new songs, old favourites. The album's centrepiece is keyboardist Jon Lord's 1969 composition "Concerto for Group and Orchestra". Lord's influences are wide-ranging--a littleAaron Copland, a little Charles Ives, a little Bela Bartok,and a lot of movie music. There are traces of both Bernard Herrmann and Ennio Morricone, and moments that seem to echo Eric Clapton and Michael Kamen's soundtrack work on the LETHAL WEAPON series.
Unsurprisingly, it's not altogether cohesive, but it has its moments, and the performance here is far better rehearsed than its original recorded incarnation. The rest of the album veers, generally attractively, betweenneo-Andrew Lloyd Webber balladry such as "Pictured Within" and "Wait a While", (the latter a tour-de-force by guest vocalist Sam Brown), and more traditional Purple fare. Guitarist Steve Morse is featured in impressive guitar workouts on both "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" and the much-recorded "Smoke on the Water".
