Movie Reviews of Deep Purple - Perihelion
Movie Review: Worth having
Summary: 4 Stars
The latest in my Purple collection, I rank it fourth place. First goes to "Australia '99", second would be "Montreaux '96", and in third place I stick "Come Hell or High Water" because I have no respect for the way Blackmore presented himself. I felt the quality with Perihelion could have been much better and I felt it had a CHEAP feel to it compared to the '99 concert. Smaller stage, smaller audience, no frills and a shorter line-up of tunes. Still it was a joy to experience and I recommend it but I set the bar pretty high after their better shows. I will say I put Perihelion above their "Archive Collection" and "New, Live and Rare" which are great DVD's as well, just not high in the 'blow you away' scale.Movie Review: Get this!!! hot... Hot... HOT!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought Deep Purple's Perihelion only because I'm a casual Deep Purple fan who wanted live DVD versions of classics like "Hush" and "My Woman From Tokyo"...... This disc has turned me from a "casual" fan into a rabid fan! ... When did DP get THIS good? I'm not comparing DP to the WHO, but on this disc, although they don't have the virtuosity of the WHO, they do have that rock and roll "crunch" that is reminiscent of the early WHO's power.
Almost every track rocks like crazy and lead guitar player Steve Morse, who age-wise could be the son of the other DP members, is obviously having a blast in his roll as DP's latest guitar slinger.
Oh, and the sound... A-wall-of-thunder!
Movie Review: GREAT BAND, STILL ROCKS
Summary: 4 Stars
HAVING BEEN A DEEP PURPLE FAN IN THE SEVENTIES,AND A STEVE MORSE FAN TODAY, I BOUGHT THIS DVD CONCERT. THE RECORDING IS VERY GOOD. THE BAND IS VERY TIGHT, AND ALTHOUGH STEVE MORSE SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE RITCHIE BLACKMORE, HE'S SUCH A GREAT MUSICIAN THAT HE FILLS THE GUITAR SLOT NICELY. IAN'S VOCALS SOUND VERY POWERFUL. THIS BAND STILL PLAYS WITH ALL THE POWER I REMEMBER, WITH NO SLACKING. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THIS CONCERT IS THAT BEING A SEVENTIES BAND, THEY JUST HAD TO PUT IN A LONG DRUM SOLO. IAN PAICE IS A GREAT, TIGHT DRUMMER. NO NEED FOR A SOLO. ALL IN ALL, THIS IS A VERY GOOD CONCERT. GLAD I BOUGHT IT.Movie Review: Still around 30 years later
Summary: 4 Stars
I listened to this band when I was in high school 30 years ago. Amazing they are still around. The good songs back then are still played well. This one is a keeper. It has the hits from the 70's plus some others I was not familiar with.Movie Review: Not a great performance from a great band!
Summary: 3 Stars
This dvd is not what any Deep Purple fan should call great. The band plays fairly well but Ian Gillan needs to contemplate retirement. His performance here pales in comparison to his earlier dominance of rock frontmen. It's obvious he realizes it as he appears uncomfortable while struggling to hit his mark throughout the concert. Perhaps the boys should look for a younger frontman who has the pipes to lead this band. Steve Morse does ok replacing Blackmore but just ok. One bright star is John Lord who, to my knowledge, has since retired...too bad because he can still do his part. Overall sound is pretty good but video is weak by today's standards.
