Recorded live at Festival Hall Melbourne, 1975-11-25.
Early recording of the infamous Deep Purple MK4 world tour.
Well, this is before everything would fall apart, Tommy had a real good time in down under and was clean at that time (at least from Heroin...) and the shows where well recived by the audience. The new material was played with a lot of enthusiasm and the band was pretty expirimental. However, the old MKIII & III stuff is quite a different thing. Tommy blows the beginning of Burn and the overall playing is a bit sloppy at times.
The battle for the microphone had already begun, so there's a lot of screaming from Coverdale & Hughes in and between songs.
But there's also a great fell of energy and excitment in this recording which lacks in later recordings. Deep Purple where really out to prove themselfs before a big crowd and despite the above you will hear that the boys enjoyed themself that night.
