What's left to be said about Deep Purple? Together with Led Zeppelin The Who and Black Sabbath they are considered the fathers of heavy rock and to some the creators of heavy metal. One of the symbols of the seventies or as they often say... a legend. The line up called MK2 (Blackmore-Lord-Paice-Gillan-Glover) released albums that are milestones of rock: In Rock Machine Head and Fireball. Gillan and Glover left after the release of Who Do We Think We Are. Deep Purple decided to continue and entered one of the most controversial exciting and extreme phases of their career. Back then unknown vocalist David Coverdale (later superstar of his own band Whitesnake) and bass player Glenn Hughes joined the band. The following albums Burn and Stormbringer showed they could maintain the same levels of the previous incarnation of the band and reached the classic album status. When Blackmore decided to leave the band they surprisingly decided to continue recruiting guitarist Tommy Bolin. They released the great album Come Taste The Band and played in front of immensely large audiences at the peak of their glamourous lives... until excesses affected the band and Bolin tragically died of a heroin overdose. Deep Purple were then officially split up. In 1984 Deep Purple reformed with the original line-up featuring Gillan and Glover yet although a lot had happened since then the band is still touring the world and remains one of the most important names in rock history. It would be a big mistake to ignore the great music that Deep Purple produced between 1972 and 1976. Rises Over Japan: 30 minute-long live footage filmed in 16mm in Japan restored in HD. Never before released not even on bootlegs. Originally planned to be included in a Deep Purple film the short movie was never released after Tommy Bolin's death. If it wasn't known the show is from 1976 the stunning video quality would make the viewer believe this is a production filmed with the most modern HD cameras. Getting Tighter: The full length 90 minute documentary of the story behind Deep Purple after Ian Gillan and Roger Glover's departures. Jon Lord and Glenn Hughes tell the story of the post Gillan years through never before seen live images backstage footage never before told stories and original video material collected through years of hard work. A real dream come true for all Deep Purple fans. New inside stories and the truths about the dark sides of Deep Purple with the rise and fall of their seventies years will really grab fans.

Paul McCartney's Live at the Cavern is essentially the video counterpart to his album Run Devil Run and is equally addictive. The legendary Liverpool club--where the Beatles and a great many other Mersey bands cut their musical teeth--has relocated to new premises in the same street, but it's still the most intimate of venues (it holds all of 300 punters) and is of course the obvious place for Macca to stage this wonderful rock & roll retro extravaganza. Oh yes, there was also a secondary audience of several million who watched the show as a Webcast, but at least this meant they weren't queuing at the bar. The music, however, isn't obvious at all. Rather than go down the tried and tested route of rehashing all the rock & roll classics everyone knows, McCartney decided instead to create a show focusing on his own personal favourites from his formative years. This means that we get stuff like "Fabulous", "Blue Jean Bop" and "Honey Hush" rather than the usual over-revived material. This combination of an instantly recognisable style with rather less recognisable songs is as refreshing as an ice-cold Tizer. The all-star band includes Dave "Floyd" Gilmour, Ian "Purple" Paice (looking alarmingly like Mel Smith) and even Pete "Eighteen with a Bullet" Wingfield. The performance is preceded by an interview with His Macship conducted by Jools Holland. --Roger Thomas
