Deep Purple/Germany 1969 & more

The videos DEEP PURPLE has left behind are not limited to live footage, but include TV programs, promotional clips, and a variety of other materials. In recent years, excavation has progressed not only as collector's items but also on the official side, and even previously unknown materials have been released as official video titles. However, in the deep purple world, there are still hidden rare images that are unknown or have been left behind in oblivion. This work covers many of those super valuable professional shot videos! We are sure that all PURPLE fans will be glued to the wave attack of rare and exquisite footage! The main "P2 German TV Film" in this work is "P ZWO", which was known as an avant-garde and experimental music program in West Germany at the time. This program was about a 45-minute story and featured a performance by a rock band. It's the material. Last year, this film was discovered by a TV station, and a portion of it was rebroadcast as an introduction, but what is included in this DVD is the complete version that was leaked by the TV station. This take was uploaded to a video posting site by a foreign maniac a while ago, and its unusual content became a hot topic among maniacs.This time, we will release top-quality material that has been digitized directly from the original film master and is a secret source from overseas. I succeeded in obtaining it through this route! The band enters a strange, psychedelic world, and all the fans who watched the online video were surprised to see the performance scene from 1969 in vivid color, almost as a mime, but in this work. With the strength of Master Direct, you can enjoy approximately 45 minutes of superb quality, with not only color development but also almost no digital noise. Of course, there is no stress of having to search for the next video because the file is cut off midway through, as is the case with online videos, and fans can enjoy the unique world of "P ZWO" and the young DEEP PURPLE just after the formation of the second lineup. (He also acts!) You can admire his appearance. The intro is nothing short of bizarre, with the German opening narration progressing indifferently as the time counter decreases in large red font on a black background, but the nightmarish red monotone screen of a motorcycle crashing into a herd of sheep. , and the opening scene where members of the band, including Ian Gillan, Jon Lord, and Ritchie, appear from a bed running on the road saying, "Good morning! How are you?", and the scene in the middle when a bunch of naked men jump out. , I am taken aback by the unique world in which everything is "unintelligible" and there is no standard for expressing it other than "avant-garde." For convenience, this video is made up of 3 parts, ``And The Address'', ``April'', and ``Hey Joe'', which use PURPLE songs, but one song is intentionally interrupted for a scene change, Performances by other bands such as STEPPENWOLF are sometimes inserted, so I get the impression that the songs are used as B.G.M. to "show a strange world" rather than a program where you can listen to music. Is it similar to PURPLE appearing in the movie and performing/acting?) However, there are many unique highlights, such as the scene where the band and orchestra perform together in ``April'', which is located outdoors, and the innocent appearance of the band in ``Hey Joe'', which is performed in a place like a festival venue. (As this is a mime, the singing voice you can hear in these is not Ian Gillan, but Rod Evans from the first period). It is true that the content is for enthusiasts, but still, it is definitely the best video ever recorded of moving DEEP PURPLE at that time! In the following "TV Archives", the extremely valuable "Black Night" pro shot video from the live performance held at "Music Hall" in Hamburg, Germany on June 2, 1970 will be made into an item for the first time! This is also a video that surprised fans when it became known on the internet, and the sharp and edgy image quality is surprising. It's so amazing that even the monochrome screen feels like a "taste", and you can enjoy it all at once along with the excellent line sound source. It is said that nearly 1,000 fans who were unable to enter the venue were trying to get in from outside the venue, and the band's performance was energetic and spectacular, making it worthwhile for the fans to go that far. . In addition, three additional songs, "Yodel", "Speed ​​King", and "Child In Time", are included from the Monterrey Switzerland performance in April 1971. These are extremely rare videos that were whispered among enthusiasts as ``phantom takes'' until they saw the light of day as ``OFFENBACH SPECIAL'' (Lost And Found). All of these are leaked materials recorded by TV stations, and the screen is monochrome, and the recording time of "Speed ​​King" and "Childe In Time" is short with an interview in between, and some of the audio is silent. It has become. However, although it is a monochrome video, the sharpness of the image quality is official level, and its realism is a superb material that surprised all PURPLE fans when it first appeared (this video probably does not exist in longer lengths) . It is rare to find such high-quality professional shot footage from 1969 to 1971, and this work, which brings them together and organizes them, has a rich content comparable to the official ``HISTORY, HITS & HIGHLIGHTS''. difference. All the fans will be bowing down to the second season of DEEP PURPLE, which was at its peak when it boasted the strongest! Furthermore, as a nice bonus video to this work, we have picked up rare footage from '85 and '93 after the reunion. This is the first time that both have been released on DVD, and they are perfect as collections. The first thing that appears is a professional shot video of the performance in Providence, Rhode Island, held on March 5, 1985, from the "PERFECT STRANGERS" tour, which was the first reunion of the fifth period. The length from John's keyboard solo, which is the prelude, to "Space Truckin'" is about 16 minutes long, but the picture quality and sound quality are all among the highest at the time, and Gillan's performance with a strong voice and Ritchie's motivation, etc. Isn't it better than the Paris performance in July, which is known as a professional shot classic? It makes me think. The last three tracks are from the final rehearsal held in Austria on September 21st, just before the group's 1993 European tour, when they reunited for the second time with "THE BATTLE RAGES ON." This video, which featured three new songs at the time: "Anya," "A Twist In The Tale," and "The Battle Rages On," was produced by the record company for promotional purposes, and was normally limited to a limited number of people. It is a valuable material that could only be seen. Even in the VTR era, some low-quality master footage was known, but here we use high-quality materials suitable for DVD, and all are recorded in high quality. To put it bluntly, Richie doesn't feel "motivated" (yet his fingertips are as fierce as if they were a different creature!), while the other members are relaxed but move in a way that is similar to the real thing, and the video that symbolizes this era is... If you are a fan, you should definitely check it out. The exceptional quality and total volume of 91 minutes are as fulfilling as the official video as well as the collector's item compilation DVDs that have been released so far. In particular, it is no exaggeration to say that the main part, "P2 German TV Film", was made possible because it was unofficial. It seems that PURPLE's professional shot footage has almost been exhausted, but considering this intense excavation, there is still a lot more depth to the world of PURPLE! This work, which features a number of rare videos that cannot be enjoyed even in "HISTORY, HITS & HIGHLIGHTS" or "NEW LIVE & RARE," is definitely a must-have for all hard rock fans. A long-awaited release by fans, which is sure to become a staple of the DEEP PURPLE video collection for a long time to come, comes with an original menu!
