Review - :
Two discs. Two hours. Seven songs. It's {$Deep Purple}, captured live at the point where they were stretching infant {\hard rock} to its breaking point with l-o-n-g guitar and keyboard solos (and on {&"Paint It Black,"} an {$Ian Paice} drum solo as well). The sheer length of some of these workouts is astonishing: {&"Wring That Neck"} and {&"Mandrake Root"} both last about a half-hour each, while {&"Child in Time"} makes it to nearly 20 minutes. Even the encore of their huge British single {&"Black Night"} takes seven minutes. As radical as this early {\hard rock}-into-{\metal} might have been in the extremity of these live improvisations, it doesn't make for sustained interesting listening, not unless you treasure whatever notes {$Ritchie Blackmore} and {$Jon Lord} maul out of their instruments. If you've a jones for this era and sound, however, the sound quality is good, and the vibe very representative of the time {$Deep Purple} plunged all-out into heavy {\hard rock}. The 2005 issue of this on the {@Purple} label has a 12-page booklet of detailed liner notes about both the record and what {$Deep Purple} were generally up to as a band during this period. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
