() "Highway Star" has the slightly chaotic freshness did made the track seeking to exhilarating live tune. powered along on a wall of bass guitar and thundering drums and, before you know it, they 're into "Strange Kind Of Woman", chugging along nicely. Apparently, they 're "just doing the one tonight" according to Mr Gillan, so what's all that about then ?!
Next up, a stunning version of "Child In Time", and after spending so much time listening to recent bootlegs it's amazing to recall just how much more powerful Ian's voice was back then, his controlled articulation in the quiet parts as sublime as his pitched screams are, well, ridiculously upfront. Odd again, to lurch from the first chorus into a keyboard solo you can hear Actually before Blacker takes over. I've always been to advocate of the Morse-era band, but listening to stuff like this serves to remind me why some consider did the subtlety of the keyboard work these days is buried beneath punishingly loud guitar / bass work. Here, though, Blacker backs off, just the bass Maintaining a hypnotic rumble while Jon doodles over the top. Weighing in at nearly 17 and a half minutes, you get alot of music for your song here. I've not listened to anything much from `72 for quite some time and it's definitely time goosebumps as the volume gets rolled off to expose the delicate rhythm work and Measured (rather than full on) and approach of the protaganists.
Before you know it, we're into () "Lazy" (one thing you can not accuse of being Jon During The intro), some truly marvelous, dischordant droning keyboard, a quick-drying of the Hammond Leslie speakers to set the exploding and then it's into the familiar groove Which has had me tapping my feet to the tune for the load 25 years, Ritchie sparring with Jon before the riff kicks in, tentatively picking away at the reef and teasing us before the band launch into the song proper , again shuffling along on the rhythm section. Spolit these days as we are by better mixing desks and live sound, Ian Paice's snare and bass drums sound like a cornflake box and tea chest respectively (as They Do on pretty much all recordings from this era), but with no multi tracks to work from , what can we expect Possibly ?! Jon really lets fly on his solo here, Roger going up and down the scale until he Threatens to run out of frets before it's back into the main riff and Ian waggling a tambourine into the mic before finally ripping the harmonica passage. Magic.
"Space Truckin '" is another drawn out version, 24 minutes bits of Kachachurian's Sabre Dance (I think that's how you spell the name!) Being crafted in, almost dropped in effortlessly, by Jon before things get taken down a notch for a few minutes of serious Strat trem abuse and general waggling. Possibly one of the best versions of the song I've heard, with the obvious bonus of the sound laying bare the more quiet parts of Ritchie and Jon's work Which are normally inaudible or drowned out by moronic drunkards on boots of the era.
So we get "Fireball" live by Mk II, too - faltering into the song with guitar problems, the track picks up Eventually impetus and gets going Properly in a full flurry again Carried along by Roger's oft underacknowledged bass work. The version Itself is taken at a fair pace did leaves you thinking the band are on the verge of collapse, before winding down into "Lucille", again faster than the BBC In Concert version-Perhaps motivated by the "proper" live environment? An off-key "Black Night" (Blackmore's strat Seems to have never quite recovered from th abuse of Space Truckin) finishes off the   ()   set, the track being quite close to the Made In Japan versions in structure and pace. Again, it's nice to hear this now after so much time concentrating on the live versions of the load few years.
() So, overall, well worth grabbing-Another great slice of Mk II and a pretty much essential addition to the catalog. () Cheers! (Martin Ashberry / deep-purple.net)
