Product Description
From Amazon.com
The Purple's reign continues with this 14-song, 102-minute concert performance (the DVD includes an additional 30 minutes of interviews), recorded in '01. This band has been at it since the '60s, and the four original members still on hand (hotshot guitarist Steve Morse replaced Ritchie Blackmore in the mid-'90s) bring admirable energy and surprisingly sharp chops to the stage. There's something slightly discomfiting about watching singer Ian Gillan try to shriek his way through riff-heavy standards like "Woman from Tokyo," "Hush," "Highway Star," and the inevitable "Smoke on the Water" as if he were still just a lad, but for the most part he pulls it off; meanwhile, Jon Lord's keyboards and Gillan's efforts to write lyrics about something other than sex and partying help separate Deep Purple's sound from the rest of the metal throng. So you can't go home again. But Deep Purple show that you can at least book a ticket. --Sam Graham

A GREAT DVD CONCERT EXPERIENCE !,
By
This review is from: Deep Purple - Perihelion (DVD)
Is "Deep Purple" really Deep Purple without Ritchie Blackmore? In my opinion Deep Purple can still lay it down even without Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. Granted Ian Gillan doesn't have the pipes or vocal range he once had, but hey he's not getting any younger. Ian Gillan struggles to hit some of the high notes that once made him famous but overall he does a very good job. Guitarist Steve Morse filling in for Blackmore brings his own flare and style of guitar playing and he does a great job. I have to admit on a few song's I said Ritchie who? After hearing Steve Morse play.What more can you say about the incredible John Lord, he is the king of the keyboards and his performance on "Perihelion" is fantastic to say the least. Roger Glover doesn't really stand out in this performance, but he does his job very well. Now on to the amazing Ian Paice, he really is the glue that holds the band together. Ian Paice is a great drummer and his solo is but a small taste of what he can really do. Overall Deep Purple "Perihelion" is an enjoyable concert DVD with a nice clear picture and great concert sound. I rocked to it in 5.1 DTS and played air guitar when I wasn't dizzy from all the jumping around. Great Band! Great Performance!

Still around 30 years later,

This review is from: Deep Purple - Perihelion (DVD)
I listened to this band when I was in high school 30 years ago. Amazing they are still around. The good songs back then are still played well. This one is a keeper. It has the hits from the 70's plus some others I was not familiar with.

Not a great performance from a great band!,

This review is from: Deep Purple - Perihelion (DVD)
This dvd is not what any Deep Purple fan should call great. The band plays fairly well but Ian Gillan needs to contemplate retirement. His performance here pales in comparison to his earlier dominance of rock frontmen. It's obvious he realizes it as he appears uncomfortable while struggling to hit his mark throughout the concert. Perhaps the boys should look for a younger frontman who has the pipes to lead this band. Steve Morse does ok replacing Blackmore but just ok. One bright star is John Lord who, to my knowledge, has since retired...too bad because he can still do his part. Overall sound is pretty good but video is weak by today's standards.
