1.0 out of 5 stars Pay attention, people..this is the BOGUS recording, Jan 25 2004

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Live at the California Jam (Audio CD)

The infamous Deep Purple California Jam appearance in 1974 has
been sought after ever since it was recorded. In recent years,
three different sources of the concert audio have been released and this is the worst of the trio. It was recorded from the ABC-TV "In Concert" video, and sounds hollow and flat; as if it were copied with a Radio Shack tape recorder and a hand held plastic mike. I don't know what everyone else reviewing this miserable disc is thinking, but the only decent source for this show has been released as "Just Might Take Your Life ". It's the original 16 track remote truck recording, which has been well recorded and properly mixed, mastered. Yes, this is a damned fine performance..but ignore all the ignorant kudos here; it's the worst sound quality of three different releases. Get "JMTYL" !

4.0 out of 5 stars Blackmore rules!, Aug 31 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Live at the California Jam (Audio CD)

Blackmore smashed his Stratocaster to the head of ABC camera. The camera man was knocked out and went away after the show. He retired today! Blackmore then exploded two giant Boxes and loud speakers on the huge Ontario speedway stage. Blackmore throwed away his guitar finally to the audience. All these furious scenes can be seen clearly in the video version of this live album: DP California JAMMING 1974.

Ritchie Blackmore is a nice guitar man, but that night he was becoming a bad tempered guitar player. Ritchie Blackmore is our guitar hero besides Jimmy Page (ZEP), Mick Box (HEEP) or Tommy Iommi (SABBATH). But once again, Blackmore became the hugest rock n roll scandal in 1974, the day he cracked his guitars after the long set Space Truckin. Coverdale and Hughes /replacements of Gillan and Glover back in 1973 were a very good combination in DP MK III line up. Need I say more? a Must for all DP fans around the world! Please buy this cd and watch the video footage "DP AT THE CALIFORNIA JAMMING 1974"! available at www.amazon.ukcom

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff, July 27 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Live at the California Jam (Audio CD)

My dad always told me about watching this on pbs when he was really young. I've always loved dp, and this was, is still is another amazing outing by the master's of medieval-baroque based hard rock. One thing that could make it tons better (but is waaayyy too late now) is Ian Gillan
