From DEEP PURPLE's "25th anniversary of band formation" Germany tour accompanying the release of "THE BATTLE RAGES ON", a must-see coupling for enthusiasts that compares the "7th" and "8th" live shows with excellent audience footage. The title has been decided to be released! This work includes the Memmingen performance on October 11, 1993 and the Saarbrücken performance in 1994, both recorded by an excellent audience shot master. We will let you fully enjoy the different fun of live performances when Richie was with us and after Joe joined! "THE BATTLE RAGES ON" released by DEEP PURPLE in 1993 and their live performances from that era have not been generally well-received due to Richie's departure (and the official live footage). After Richie left the band, the ``8th generation'' came to Japan with Joe Satriani and had a great performance, so the impression of the ``7th generation'' is getting worse. . However, there was a time when Ritchie's late PURPLE live was showing its true potential. That was the German tour that took place in October 1993. Of these, the Stuttgart performance on October 16th was extremely fulfilling, as can be seen on the official live CD (it is said that the band's condition worsened in November). Even if you compare the live performance after the band's condition deteriorated with the stage after Satriani joined, it will not be possible to give a correct evaluation. In the first place, are there any advantages or disadvantages between the "seventh period" and the "eighth period"? This work provides a hint to answer such questions of enthusiasts. In this work, two performances in Germany from 1993 and 1994 are packaged with high-quality audience shots. Both performances will keep you thoroughly entertained for about two hours as you watch the bands put on an excellent performance. Disc 1 includes the Memmingen performance on October 11th, from the live performance at the time when the "7th period" PURPLE was functioning as a band. The shot is taken from the left hand side (Roger's side) facing the stage, so the view may be somewhat obstructed depending on the scene, but the zoom on players such as Gillan and Ritchie is accurate. There are also scenes where the shots are stable, similar to TV footage. The sound quality and image condition are good enough for VTR material from over 20 years ago. The official video for the ``7th period'' in 1993 only leaves an impression on the tense atmosphere within the band and Richie's loss of ``motivation'', and there are almost no scenes that convey the band's strengths. did. On the other hand, in this live performance, Ritchie also plays vigorously while keeping the rhythm with his whole body, giving a thrilling performance that was said by enthusiasts to be ``the best performance since 1985.'' Richie's guitar playing on "Black Night", "Perfect Strangers", and "Anya" is a sight to behold. “Talk About Love”, which has a flavor similar to LED ZEPPELIN, is probably the highlight of the 7th live performance. The PURPLE version of “Difficult To Cure” also allows Richie to listen to his play full of “his personality”. The excitement in the venue was also wonderful, and when you watch the big finale “Smoke On The Water”, you will be able to say that “Richie’s PURPLE that caught your attention is special”. Disc 2 includes a live performance in Sabrücken on June 16, 1994 after Satriani joined. This is a shot from the right hand (Satriani side) facing the stage. This is a high-quality video that surpasses that of Disc 1, with sharp and clear image and sound quality, and stable shots. After joining Satriani, the set changed significantly, and "Ramshackle Man" and "Maybe I'm A Leo" were included in the set. “Fireball”, which was not heard at the performance in Japan, is a big highlight. Joe enjoys (and effortlessly) plays these old classics. The opening solo of “Highway Star” and the play of “Knocking At Your Back Door” are must-sees. The torrent of solos and phrasing performed with advanced technique is sure to overwhelm the audience! "Anya" respects the melody that Richie left behind, and incorporates his characteristic technical playing into a well-balanced classical playing style. Don't miss Joe's solo song "Satch Boogie" which is played following the drum solo in the second half of the live. Even at the same "THE BATTLE RAGES ON" German performance at the time, fans should be able to discover a lot by comparing live footage from two different times. Which live show is "like DEEP PURPLE"...? It is up to the fans who watch this work to make that evaluation!
