It works extremely well or it doesn't work at all, says Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice on this concert DVD, reflecting on DP's 25th anniversary reunion tour. This great-sounding disc (filmed in Birmingham, England, on November 9, 1993) finds the band working extremely well indeed.
This 200-minute DVD features 17 tracks including: Watching The Sky, Strange Kind Of Woman, Woman From Tokyo, a superb guitar solo from Steve Morse and much more! The sound and visual production is top quality and the band after a lengthy tour are in supreme form.The set list is outstanding and the versions of Bloodsucker, Pictures Of Home, and Fireball are worth the price of the DVD alone. Musically this is good as it gets and each member of the group are at the top of their game - still!
