Movie Reviews of They All Came Down to Montreux [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: A fantastic show with a twist on "Smoke on the Water."
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are a Deep Purple fan, stop reading now and buy this blu ray.
Seriously, stop what you're doing and put this in your cart.
Now, for those of you on the fence. This is a solid blu ray to add to your collection. I was disappointed in Ian Gillan's vocals. He could have had an off night, but he sounded a bit strained. I've long gotten over Ritchie Blackmore's departure and think the band plays better with Steve Morse on guitar. He's not a source of tension like Blackmore was and it shows as the band is tight and you can tell that they enjoy performing together.
Still getting used to not seeing Jon Lord on the organ and keyboards, but Don Airey is no slouch and he and the band have a good chemistry.
Would have liked for them to have included "Perfect Strangers" in the set list, but that's just a personal favorite. Great jazz take on "Smoke on the Water" before they kicked it into gear and rocked out on it. Was cool to see them perform the song where it was written.
Picture quality is great and sound quality is superb. Bonus concert included from the Hard Rock Cafe.
Movie Review: Good sound, great tracklist, great picture
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the first blu ray discs I purchased to test the sound and video capability of my PS3. I was not dissapointed. This sounds great in both 5.1 dolby or DTS on my system. The set list was good. Ian Gillan did sound a bit strained, and Smoke on the Water is not quite as good without Ritchie Blackmore, but still a gem of a DVD to purchase for a good concert of Deep Purple. The HD DVD version is also great as well, so if you don't have blu ray, there is still hope for Purple in High Definition!!! I have both and neither will dissapoint. Movie Review: Deep Grey instead of purple
Summary: 2 Stars
Being a long time rock fan, I looked forward to seeing one of my favorite groups in the historic Montreux setting. However, I was really disappointed in the Ian Gillan vocals or lack thereof. He sounded strained and even forgot the words in Highway Star. Any DVD or recording that has Steve Morse in it has redeeming qualities, as he is one of the true treasures of the guitar and continues to channel creativity and musicality at every turn. remainder of the band was competent and tight and the audio and video quality was as good as expected from Blu Ray format, but I couldnt get past the poor imitation of himself done by Ian.Movie Review: the best band,one of the best show and the best quality DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
this DVD is just the fine example of real musicians, how to perform a perfect hard rock live.
Deep Purple was, is and will be the best Live band ever!
the gods of lives
