DEEP PURPLE in 1996 forcibly overturned the biggest crisis of Ritchie Blackmore's absence with the masterpiece "PURPENDICULAR" and determined the future. An original recording that allows you to experience the best live in Japan is now available. This work is inspired by the "October 25, 1996: Nagoya Century Hall" performance. This is a powerful audience recording. At that time, it was the first visit to Japan with Steve Morse, but it was a great success despite the absence of Richie. A big tour was organized, with the largest number of performances in their history of visiting Japan. First, let's look back at the schedule and check the show's position.・October 25: Nagoya Century Hall ←★This work★ ・October 27: Fukuoka Civic Center ・October 28: Osaka Festival Hall ・October 29: Osaka Festival Hall ・October 31: Nippon Budokan November 1st: Kawaguchi Cultural Center ・November 2nd: Tochigi Prefectural Cultural Center ・November 4th: Sendai Sunplaza ・November 6th: Hokkaido Welfare Pension Hall "SAPPORO 1996" ・November 8th: Pacifico Yokohama: 10 performances in total. Since 1972, they have visited Japan 16 times, and the average number of live performances per visit is 5.25. In 1996, we not only achieved the highest number of performances, but also performed the stages of two visits to Japan in one go. On the other hand, a characteristic of 1996 is that the recording situation was cold, contrary to the energy of the people in question. The masterpiece "SAPPORO 1996" is the standard, but other than that there are no new discoveries. It has been 25 years since the live performance, and this is the second big hole horse in this work. Since such a rare scene was vacuum-packed, the quality of this work is not at the level that I am grateful to be able to listen to...! As you might have guessed from the title, this is one of the Nagoya collections that have been producing masterpieces recently, but what's most wonderful about it is its strong core and direct feel. Anyway, it's an amazing feeling!! It's so powerful that the peak of the bass drum is shocking, but it's very slight. In fact, the bass is extremely smooth and glossy, and each attack sound is vivid, and the lines that connect them like beads to create a groove are also clear. If the bass, which tends to be sparse, is so vivid, then the quality of the guitar, organ, and vocals is so great that you might think it's an FM broadcast!? What is drawn with such super direct sound is a full show that exudes the confidence and sense of fulfillment that came from the masterpiece "PURPENDICULAR". The symbol of 1996 is undoubtedly the official edition ``LIVE AT THE OLYMPIA '96''. Let's compare and organize them here. Classics (10 songs)・In Rock: Speed King・Fireball: Fireball/No One Came・Machine Head: Pictures Of Home/Smoke On The Water/Highway Star・Purple Portrait: Woman From Tokyo・Others: Black Night /When A Blind Man Cries・Perfect Strangers Murasaki no Sei (6 songs)・Vavoom: Ted The Mechanic／Cascades: I'm Not Your Lover／Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming／The Aviator (★)／Rosa's Cantina/Hey Cisco *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official edition “LIVE AT THE OLYMPIA '96”. ...and it looks like this. What gives off a strong impact is the large-scale performance of the "PURPENDICULAR" number. In addition to "The Aviator," which was not heard at "LIVE AT THE OLYMPIA '96," there was also plenty of "Cascades: I'm Not Your Lover," "Rosa's Cantina," and "Hey Cisco," which were no longer played in the following years. Willing to. The classics are also delicious. “Pictures Of Home” and “When A Blind Man Cries”, which were shocking in Satriani DP, have been revived with Morse’s arrangement, and even “No One Came” has been revived. The composition that starts with "Fireball" and ends with "Highway Star" is also quite fresh. And the performance that spells out such a set is wonderful. The ensemble, which is full of mind, skill, and body, is impregnable and full of energy, and Guillain's shouts (to today's ears) feel sharp. Over the past 25 years, I've gotten used to the Mo's era, but 1996, when it started, was still fresh. It is a live album where you can fully enjoy the hot performance with super direct sound. The wonders of 90's DEEP PURPLE can only be experienced now. Powerful audience recording of the "October 25, 1996: Nagoya Century Hall" performance. What's most amazing is the strong core and direct feel. Anyway, it's an amazing feeling!! The bass is extremely smooth and glossy, and each attack sound is vivid, and the quality of the guitar, organ, and vocals makes me think that it is FM broadcast!? So wonderful. This is a newly discovered live album that exudes the confidence and sense of fulfillment that came from the masterpiece "PURPENDICULAR", including "The Aviator" that could not be heard on the official version "LIVE AT THE OLYMPIA '96".
