| | Deep Purple Live At Montreux, 1996 CD Deep Purple Discography of CDs
 (4 Customer Reviews)
In the late 1960s and early '70s, Deep Purple helped lay the foundation for what would become heavy metal, and continued to make rock music (albeit in varying configurations of loud and hard) into the '90s and 2000s. This 1996 concert captures Deep Purple performing at Montreux, a town the band name-checked in their rock classic "Smoke on the Water." That riff-rock standard is here, of course, alongside crowd favorites like "Woman from Tokyo" and "Speed King," amounting to a fun, energetic live set that testifies to the strength of the band's legacy.

This is a great CD. If you want to know about DP this is a great mix of songs. They're the best live band from a musical perspective. They don't do hype. The music's honest, big and with huge energy. They get better as they get older. The hallmark of a great CD is when there are no passenger songs. This is not 'Made in Japan' coz nothing is that complete. It's super and well worth buying. Morse is different to Blackmore but he works for Purple & helped take the band forward.

Great Live Set
I saw DP in 1996 with Morse and a few times since. He has re-energized this band and this cd proves it. These versions are awesome and the playing is great. Can't wait for the DVD

Live At Montreux, 1996 album
 $12.39 
Like their Native American ancestors before them, the members of Blackfoot must have known what it felt like to be exiled from their homeland. Only, rather than being forced into an Indian reservation, the world's first all-Native American hard rock band found itself trying to scrape together a good wage across the pond, where U.K. audiences couldn't seem to get enough of its uniquely metallic, Skynyrd-derived Southern rock. Despite experiencing diminishing returns in the good ol' U.S. of A., all three of their studio albums for Atco had been warmly embraced here, leading to nearly two years of incessant touring. Such acclaim eventually led to demands for a live album, which the band duly recorded with the help of the Rolling Stones' mobile studio during a three-month ...
| | Foghat Decades Live CDs (2003) Remastered
Live At Montreux, 1996 CD music
$17.19 
Recorded in 1977, 1980, 1996 and 1999. Includes liner notes by Colin Escott.
While the album's title is deceiving -- all but five of the 18 tracks on this double disc originate from the '90s, and 11 of those are from the same show -- this is an adequate, well-recorded document of both the original and re-formed versions of Foghat running through their established repertoire. It also works as a tribute to Lonesome Dave Peverett, the group's lead singer and primary songwriter, who died of cancer in February 2000, about a year after the most recent recording here. Since the band hit their peak in 1977 with their first live recording (a 1977 version of "I Ain't Got You" is this disc's oldest, tightest, and most succinct performance and might even be an outtake from that album), this can't help but be a retread. Still, the group retains most of their original lineup and their sweat-stained boogie-blues remains energetic enough, even though at over two hours, this is a bit much for all but ...
| | Deep Purple Bananas CD (2003)
Live At Montreux, 1996 music CDs
$7.79 
Bananas has every sign of being a disappointment. Jon Lord's grandiose keyboards were always a focus but he's gone, it's released in the heady age of Radiohead, and it's got one of the oddest titles and the oddest cover art that ever graced a Deep Purple album. Surprise, it's fantastic. New keyboardist Don Airey is an effective replacement, adding new sounds and styles and working the Hammond so well that an uncredited Lord appearance was rumored among fans. Lord has said he's not playing on the album, but he did contribute some writing on the excellent "Picture of Innocence" and "I Got Your Number." Those two tracks, followed by the winding and pastoral "Never a Word," add up to a strikingly impressive suite that bridges the more bombastic first half of the album with the looser and more playful second half. That's right, "Deep Purple" and "playful" in the same sentence. The thunk and chug is still there, but Bananas often ...

| | Deep Purple Rapture Of The Deep CD (2005)
Live At Montreux, 1996 album
$10.89
Deep Purple's 2005 album Rapture of the Deep generally maintains the quality of 2003's surprisingly sturdy Bananas. It's the second release from the re-energized lineup of vocalist Ian Gillan, guitarist Steve Morse, bass guitarist Roger Glover, drummer Ian Paice, and keyboardist Don Airey, who replaced the retired Jon Lord. The band's comfort level has increased, and after nearly a decade onboard, Morse's stamp is all over the place. At first, this guitar genius' presence was noticeable because ...
