This album compiles recordings of three European concerts in early
1975. Featuring Richie Blackmore, David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Jon
Lord & Ian Paice. 1990 EMI Records.
This live recording, made in 1975, comes from Ritchie Blackmore's last
three concerts with the band before leaving to form Rainbow. It
features Deep Purple's Mark III, with David Coverdale on vocals, and
Glenn Hughes on bass and vocals. Coverdale is a convincing hard rock
singer, though he lacks the winning quirkiness of Ian Gillan, while
Hughes is a busier and more up-front player than Roger Glover. While
"Burn" and "Mistreated" are worthy successors to previous Deep Purple
tunes, the remaining material is weaker, and overall, this stuff is
definitely a couple of notches below the glory days of Made in Japan.
But Blackmore, for his swan song, still manages to inject a good deal
of excitement, and his invention and fire raise the proceedings up
somewhat.
Stephen Raiteri - All Music Guide
Diskutiert man mit Purple-Fans über die beste Live-Platte ihrer
Lieblinge, wird an erster Stelle meist Made In Japan ('72) genannt,
dicht gefolgt vom '76er Output Made In Europe. Letzterer wurde '75 mit
dem zweiten der großen Purple-Line-ups in Graz, Saarbrücken
und Paris aufgenommen. David Coverdale, Ritchie Blackmore, Glenn
Hughes, Jon Lord und Ian Paice konzentrieren sich
verständlicherweise auf die gemeinsam eingespielten Studioscheiben
Burn ('74) und Stormbringer ('74) und drücken mit "Burn",
"Mistreated" und "Stormbringer" einige der genialsten Kompositionen der
Mittsiebziger-Purple-Ära durch die P.A. Coverdale erweist sich
auch live als makelloser, ausdrucksstarker Fronter, Basser Hughes
versteht sich hervorragend mit Drum-Dynamo Ian Paice, und Ritchie
Blackmore spielt mal wieder jenseits von Gut und Böse. Da auch der
Sound allererste Sahne ist, sollten Purple-Fans sich diese Scheibe als
Referenz-Live-Album in die Sammlung stellen.
The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"
I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.
You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.
The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
MISTREATED
I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have.
I've been lonely, I've been cold.
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.
I've been losing my mind.
Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
I'm gettin' tired of you
There ain't no chance
Doin' what you wanna do
I've been down, down, down, down, down
Got to get my feet back on the ground
Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
I ain't satisfied
Dealin' with second hand goods
You wanted somethin' for nothin'
Taking everything you could
You been 'round - I got the news
But you ain't waitin' 'round for me to lose
Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
I gave love to you
Did what you wanted me to
But all you did was bring me down
So I just had to try
Try to reason why
You took advantage of my love
Two timin' woman
Tryin' to take me for a ride
You're a hard lover honey
But you sure don't keep me satisfied
I wanna be there
To try to make you see
There ain't no woman gonna make a fool outta me
YOU FOOL NO ONE
You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So hard to see you are taking your chances with me.
If I find you with some other man
you know what I'm gonna do.
Better run if you see me comin', ah.
Soon you will fall, making mistakes like before.
When you tell me lies I can see by the look in your eyes.
If you think you're gonna take me for granted,
chasin' round with all you see,
gonna make you live to regret it, ah.
You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So clear to see you've had all your chances with me.
You thought that you could take me for granted
but I couldn't take it no more.
Better run when you see me comin, ah.
Stormbringer
Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Coming out of nowhere
Drivin' like a-rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way
