Movie Reviews of Deep Purple - Perihelion
Movie Review: 5 Stars for 5 Great Talented Musicians!
Summary: 5 Stars
Who is Deep Purple? Is it Deep Purple if Ritchie Blackmore is not involved? This question is constantly being asked when mentioning or reviewing this band. Blackmore will always be associated with the history of this band. But, then again, So will David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes and Tommy Bolin. What I'm saying is that Deep Purple was always 5 very talented musicians working together and making music. It's a collaborative effort. Blackmore left and decided that collaborating was only doing his songs and no one else. So, The band got Steve Morse to play guitar. I met Steve Morse in 1993 at an after show Dixie Dregs meet and greet. I told him that admired his column in Guitar magazine called "Open Ears". He said to me if I ever had any suggestions for the column to let him know because he had a tedency to run out of ideas. "Excuse me! Steve Morse wants ideas from me?"
So, as I watch this DVD, I see 5 musicians working together and getting the buzz from working off the other musicians(as they tell us in the additional stuff). Did we ever see Ian Gillan stand that close to Ritchie Blackmore? Did we ever see smiles on those faces so big?
Yes, Gillan's voice is a little weak at times. But, as the show continues, it seems to get stronger and it sounds like and looks like a relaxed vocalist singing at his peak. Steve Morse is a phenomenal guitar player. He's a rare guitarist. With him, Talent doesn't equal ego. Because his talent is immense and huge. Thank God his ego isn't. I never thought too much about Roger Glover's bass playing until now and realize he can lay it down and improvise with the best. Jon Lord is and will always be the master of the Hammond Organ. Just listen to any recording he's ever done of "Lazy" and you'll know why. And of course, the bedrock of Deep Purple...the left handed drum wizard-Ian Paice. His drum solo caught my attention, my wife's attention and my one-year old son's attention. This man's incredible one handed drum roll sent me to my basement to try and figure that out for myself.
Song selection...
some have said in their reviews that the songs were a little weak. I personally thought it was a nice change for the band and for fans alike. There are obvious songs that are expected. Smoke on the Water and Speed King are two of them. But after listening to Made in Japan and Nobody's Perfect (over and over)it was nice to hear some other songs from the classic era. When they went into Mary Long(from Who do We Think We Are)and Fools and No One Came (from Fireball), I almost thought they were from the Steve Morse era albums. But I was relieved to find out that they were great old songs that they were dusting off for a younger audience. I even dug out my old vinyl copy of Fireball to have a listen. The Morse era numbers just rock with power and aggression that Blackmore lacked in the past few years. I had forgotten what great songs Ted the Mechanic, Sometimes I feel Like Screaming and especially Hey Cisco were.
These 5 guys obviously love making music together. You can tell in the performance and that's what makes a great concert from a great band.
