Product Description
Album Description
Recorded at the San Diego Sports Arena, April 9th 1974, on the last date of the five week U.S. Burn tour. Four tracks from this show turned up first on the Perks & Tit vinyl bootleg, issued on the legendary Kornyphone label back in the late 70's. For this first official CD release Sonic Zoom tracked down the sound engineer who taped the first hour of the show through the mixing desk, and have been able to add extra material (including the missing cut of the band's rock anthem Smoke On The Water), all the between song patter, a concluding Jon Lord solo and much improved audio quality. This is a single CD set, since the second part of the show has been lost! Sonic Zoom/Purple. 2007.

For completists only......,
By Billy MacNeur "Stuka Pilot" (St.Catharines Ont. Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1974 Live In San Diego (Audio CD)
I recall having some the tracks on this cd on a boot called "Just Might Take Your Life". The sound was horrible.On this release they've done a good job of restoring the sound considering the source, but it still leaves alot to be desired. Guitar and vocals way up front, bass and drums way behind. Oh yeah, a bit of hiss as well. Also, it's only a partial concert and is cut off half way through. There are much better MKIII releases out there. Live in London, Final Concerts and even Made in Europe are much better bets.

This review is from: 1974 Live In San Diego (Audio CD)
I'm a huge fan of deep purple with coverdale and love this cd. Little did we know that this was a supergroup at the time, much like Rainbow with Dio. After watching the California Jam show this weekend and listening to this cd I love both. I couldn't stop watching/listening to either, watched/listened all the way throug. The sound on this is great. Unfortunetly the tape ran out before You Fool No One but it's definetly a keeper. Get this disk.

Best Deep Purple Mk III Live Performance if not Recording,
By Fortizymo - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: 1974 Live In San Diego (Audio CD)
As someone who has the original vinyl bootleg Perks and Tits, I have always liked this album, though I admit a preferance for Mk II & Mk I. Most Mk III live performances are good but with only one or two albums to choose from the songs are the same with Smoke on Water or Highway Star added which David Coverdale doesn't sing either particularily well. I believe I have all Mk III live cd's beit Cal Jam, Last Show in Paris 75 and Live in London 74 but to me, this is the most exciting of the bunch. Now retitled Live in San Diego 1974, it is a bootleg and sounds like one. A good bootleg but a bootleg nontheless. But I love it. The cd is short with only five songs and a (short for) Jon Lord keyboard solo. The songs are: 1)Burn which is just so energized as Blackmore's tone is great and it's just a great opener. 2)Might Just Take Your Life is a song I've never liked but this version is great. Blackmore's rhythm guitar is solid and loud everyone putting in a good effort. 3)Lay Down Stay Down is another song I don't particularily like but I like this version. 4)Mistreated is fantastic. May be the best version ever. Back in 75 I put the entire boot on tape and used to listen to it at work all the time driving everyone at the gas station crazy. Mistreated was the one song on the album which I never tire of. 35 years later I still haven't gotten tired of it. 5) Smoke on the Water is great. It wasn't on the original boot as the Cal Jam version was on it for some reason. I love this version with the great Blackmore egyptian guitar solo. Coverdale and Hughes sing it pretty good. 6)Jon Lord organ solo is just that, a partial organ solo with snippets of several songs one being Whiter Shade of Pale. I love Jon but this is not complete. The rest of the show was either not taped or lost. I give the performance a 5 stars, quality of recording 4 stars. I also enjoyed reading the booklet which explains what happened to Blackmore's favored black strat that he used to record Made in Japan with and the history of the original bootleg which was interesting.

The good old Perks and Tit in the second edition on CD,

This review is from: 1974 Live In San Diego (Audio CD)
This is the second edition of this CD in the SONIC ZOOM series. We must agree that the first editions of the series were insurmountable, but they are discontinued and what is achieved is very very expensive. So these editions, more modest (and more standarts) than the originals, are better than nothing.This show (the last of the American tour) is really powerful, with the band in a performance full of energy and virtuosity. The raw version of LAY DOWN STAY DOWN is the best we can find in this release, with Blackmore strangely vague and violently mistaken in some tunes, but with the rest of the band in a furious interpretation. The show is not complete, but what we find here amply justifies its purchase. |
