PURPLE: PAST, PRESENT & PURPENDICULAR
This DVD release is a GODSEND!!! Like every Purple DVD release
is (maybe with the exception of Come Hell & High Water), the
video and sound quality are absolutely superb. Brushing with all their videos from the 80's including the cheesy Knocking at Your Back Door and Bad Attitude to smokin' live footage of Black Night (84) and Space truckin (85). While the DVD is mainly split evenly between the Blackmore years and Morse years, both are equally outstanding. the Blackmore era includes many videos, even 2 with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals (King of Dreams , Love Conquers All) The Morse era pretty much is all live footage of Purple running through many old numbers along with some excellent newer stuff. Morse is suitable and an excellent choice to fill Blackmore's whiny shoes, Richie's playing is fantastic when he enjoys playing with Purple, and you get to see that on quite a few tracks. Overall, another excellent DVD from Purple.

Excellent stuff
No Purple fan can afford to be without this DVD, especially if you're into the present Morse era. It contains stuff you might've seen before, like the, by now, well-known promo clips from the '80s, but also lots of rare live stuff. For some reason it has nothing from the "Battle Rages On" album at all; no clips, no live stuff. All the live footage is in excellent condition, making one hungry for the rest of these gigs. -Since these selected songs are here and available, I guess it's fair to assume that the whole of each of these shows were filmed. -Wouldn't it be great if they were released as well ?. In particular I would like to see the concert "Black Night" is taken from in its entirety. I already have the '85 Paris gig ("Gypsy's Kiss") from when it was televised originally, but it's actually the least interesting of them all because Gillan was in a terrible, almost non-existing, voice that night. There are some nice bonus features, like the rather disappointing collage of images from the recording of (the also disappointing) "Slaves & Masters" album in '90, and a truly rare video clip of "Under The Gun" from the '84 recording sessions. Legend has it somebody was making a documentary about Purple's reunion and the "Perfect Strangers" album, but I've never seen this finished documentary so I believe it didn't materialize at all. Instead we're all familiar with the title track promo clip, and now the fascinating "Under The Gun". -I wonder what took so long to dig that one out. Can't help but think what other celluloid-captured goodies must be laying around somewhere from those glorious days. All in all, an excellent collection of Deep Purple rarities and highly recommended.

FIRE, ICE & DYNAMITE
THIS DVD IS A MUST for any Purple's serious collector. Most of Purple's fans hate or at least ignore the Joe Lynn Turner line up era. Well, with this line up there were 2 excellent songs that remained almost unknown for a long time, the b-side "Slow Down Sister" wich is now available on the "Shades 1968-1998 BOX SET" and the movie soundtrack "Fire, Ice and Dynamite" from the same name's movie wich was unreleased until this DVD. Now you can hear that song on this DVD's end (on the clip wich the band and friends play soccer). After bought this DVD I could say: "Now I suppose to have ALL the Purple's official released songs !!"

Note that "Fire, Ice and Dynamite" doesn't appear on any other Purple's album or video. If you are a completist, BUY IT AS FAST AS YOU CAN !!!
