Album Description

After years of mystery in the vaults, the good folks at Warner Music/RHINO have given classic rockers Friday Music the keys to open up the magical hard rock kingdom of Deep Purple once again, as they re- release their incredible live recording " Made In Europe". This newly remastered disc is a fine sequel to their " Made In Japan" album, as it captured the new Mark III line up's excellent moments from the "Burn" and "Stormbringer" projects.

Ritchie Blackmore's famous opening riff kicks things into gear as "Burn" opens the album. The dual vocals of David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes ushered in a ton of praise throughout their amazing run together in the Purple, but this particular tune truly defines the spirit of this band as it became one of the more famous songs in the bands lengthy discography.

Never fear founder Jon Lord gets his solo on " You Fool No One" this extended version showcases his wonderful keyboard work, as Ian Paice delivers the stunning back beat throughout this impeccable performance. Again, another career defining moment from the vast Deep Purple catalog of songs. This live version takes the tune to another level indeed.

"Stormbringer" gets an anthem-like delivery from the band as Mr. Coverdale carries the beginning of this strong track with Glenn Hughes following with his incredible rocking harmony vocal style.

This album marks the last recordings of the Warner Music era with Ritchie Blackmore, as he left the band to pursue his incredible run with Rainbow, and to later re-join Deep Purple in the early 80's for their reunion tour and subsequent albums for several more years.

As a lasting statement of the energy of these metal rock founders, "Made In Europe" captures the energy of this band in a long lost era of great rock music. Fortunately, it was caught on tape over thirty years ago, and Friday Music has rescued it for the North American fans of this legendary band. Welcome back Deep Purple's "Made In Europe", newly remastered by Joe Reagoso ( David Lee Roth, Procol Harum, Johnny Winter) and sounding better than ever.

Well-written review below (the first review), but it's an old review ..........2007-08-01

Has anyone heard this particular version of the CD, which was released yesterday by the Friday Music record label? The first review below is well-written, but it is identical to the same author's original review of the import version (posted in July, 2007). Does anyone have any info on this version? How is the booklet/artwork? How is the remastering on this new version?
Thanks.

Peace out to everyone!

Deep Purple's classic Mark Three live album.......2007-08-01

Made in Europe (1975.)

INTRODUCTION:
Following the release of Deep Purple Mark Three's albums Burn and Stormbringer, the unthinkable happened - Ritchie Blackmore, the guitar genius who had given the band its immortal hard rock sound, was leaving. What resulted was a chain of events that ultimately lead to the band's breakup. Blackmore's final concerts with Deep Purple, prior to his being replaced by Tommy Bolin, were recorded in Spring of 1975. They were released on Made in Europe, released the following year.

OVERVIEW:
Made in Europe was released in 1976. The band features highlights from the final concerts of the Mark Three lineup, featuring David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Jon Lord, Ian Paice, and Ritchie Blackmore.

REVIEW:
These were Ritchie Blackmore's final concerts with Deep Purple (the first time around anyway) and they are excellent recordings that beautifully capture the sound of Coverdale-era DP. The album is a bit on the short side in comparison to other DP live albums but the quality is nothing less.

-SIDE 1-

-Burn:
The anthem of the Coverdale era kicks off this release, and this is a damn fine rendition. Featuring an extended introduction sequences and keyboard/guitar parts even more wild than the studio version, this was an awesome way to kick off the album.

-Mistreated:
Deep Purple's blues rock classic, this was one of the biggest hits of Coverdale's days with the band. It's not at all surprising to see the band decided to perform this one. Blackmore is on fire on this track, showing just how much he contributed to the band and would ultimately be missed.

-Lady Double Dealer:
This was one of my favorite songs from the Stormbringer album, and plenty of Deep Purple fans will back me up on that. With its awesome guitar parts and solid vocal delivery on Coverdale's part, this is an excellent version of a great Deep Purple song that doesn't seem to get the proper credit.

-SIDE 2-

-You Fool No One:
Nearly seventeen minutes long, this is the lengthiest track featured here. And yet, despite it all, the band manages to hold your attention all that time - as they always prove with these extended jams. The instrumental jam sequences are what make this version great. It's one of those songs that must be heard to be appreciated.

-Stormbringer:
What better way to close things out than with one of the other anthems of Coverdale's period with DP? This version of the song doesn't differ too substantially from the studio version, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Definitely a good way to finish things off.

OVERALL:
Overall this album could be thought of as Ritchie Blackmore's swansong with the band. Excellent recordings prior to his new beginnings with Rainbow. And an excellent swansong this is. An excellent release, and strongly recommended to any fan of the Mark Three era of the band.

EDITION NOTES:
Reissued on July 31, 2007, in America.

Live masterpiece from the Mark Three era.......2007-07-25

an excellent yet underrated Album.......2007-07-19

Released after Ritchie Blackmore had re-emerged with his musical powerhouse RAINBOW, and after (or during the same time as) DP's disasterous tour with Tommy Bolin, Made in Europe seems like an attempt to try and see lightning strike twice (after striking with Made in Japan). Well, they did more than that with this Album

Blackmore's performances are top-notch... he's 100% on his game and plays better than ever. It is hard to believe that during these shows he was already making plans to leave DP. Lord's solos and especially his solo spot are also remarkable, and Ian Paice extends his bounds and more than rivals John Bonham. The difference here is David Coverdale and Glen Hughes. Coverdale, long before wailing in Whitesnake, delivers a flawless performance. His voice is much more bluesy and warm than Ian Gillan's voice, and his inflections are great. Hughes, straight out of the band Trapeze, does well as a replacement for Roger Glover (who would later re-immerge in Blackmore's Rainbow), and sings as well. Some say he outclasses Coverdale (well, I read that on Hughes' website), but I think they compliment each other well: neither is better than the other, although I prefer Coverdale's bluesy raspiness to Hughes' high-pitched wailing.

This CD represents what WAS Mark 3 Deep Purple. The best of the best. Subsequence releases such as "The Final Concerts" and the Mark 4 (Bolin) releases like "Last Concert in Japan" are more of the 'last minute' efforts to cash in. This CD is an excellent live CD, and can easily go hand-in-hand w/ Made in Japan as a live document of the band

Ritchie saved his best Deep Purple performances for last.......2007-02-18

The last gigs with Ritchie Blackmore before he left to form Rainbow. This is the most high energy playing in Ritchies career, possibly because he was not happy with the lineup at the time and had one foot out the door. He leaves us an incredible album to be forever remembered in time.
1. Burn - Paicey is even faster and better than the studio version
2. Mistreated (Interpolating Rock Me Baby)- Coverdales signature number
3. Lady Double Dealer - Get outta my way!
4. You Fool No One - Drum/Key solo good song and some difficult drum time signatures
5. Stormbringer - prelude to Rainbow, Ritchies next project.

MKIII Peak...Deep Purple live in Europe '75.......2006-12-18

Here were Deep Purple riding high in '75. A great sounding recording of the MKIII lineup, with Blackmore, Lord and Paice clicking in high gear, with Coverdale and Hughes sounding so good, you'll be proud to be a fan. One of Deep Purple's best live recordings and one of the best live albums of the later 70's, along with "Wings Over America" and Cheap Trick "Live at Budokan."

The other great live album from Deep Purple .......2006-12-15

The opening song "Burn" makes for a powerful start, but also "Mistreated" and "Lady Double Dealer" come off really well, very exciting. But, "You Fool No One" is the real masterpiece here, sounding much stronger than the studio version, with a great keyboard opening from Jon Lord and some brilliant soloing from Ritchie Blackmore and furious drumming from Ian Paice. To close out the disc is an excellent version of "Strombringer."

Made In Europe a solid listen throughout, but it isn't quite on the level of Made In Japan, but what is?

Note: Made In Europe and Mark III The Final Concerts (Archives Alive in U.S.A.) are two completely different releases. Both recorded in April 1975 and consist of the last three concerts with Blackmore. Mark III The Final Concerts consists of unreleased tracks left off of Made In Europe and contains the entire setlist (with two alternative versions) in the right order.

EXPLOSIVE MARK III LIVE CONCERT 1975.......2004-03-19

I bought this album when it first came out in the mid 70s and have always liked it. It is as good as Made in Japan. Blackmore is smoking. Coverdale is so soulful and powerful. Everyone else just lays it on the line. Buy this instead of Burn and Stormbringer. You will not be dissappointed.

For Guillan-era fans. Try it (i swear you will love it).......2003-03-23

I,m not a Coverdale era Fan but this is my favorite Deep Purple Album.(tied with Made in Japan).
Before you start to listen the album, be shure that the volume at your stereo is very loud... Then fly....
Imagine the picture:
some notes emerging from a white Startocaster interrupted after a minute by the words: "rock'n'roll".
That's the only warning from the inminent attack of one of the greatest bands ever.
The delight starts with Burn,a very good version from the first to the last note, the guitar-keyboard solos are spectacular, -even better than the studio version-, the Coverdale-Hughes vocals are better than ever, woow!
Mistreated: in my opinion this is the best version you can find of this song, there are some guitar parts that leave you breathless, the choirs by Hughes give a very dramatic frame to the bluesy Coverdale singing, specialy in the interpolation of "rock me baby", this song makes your day.
"Lady Double Dealer " isn't one of my favorites, but here really rocks.
"You Fool No-One" -(This song never got my attention until I heard this live version)-.
Starts with a solo by Lord followed after by the great drums from Ian Pace -right throught your brain-, and then completed by the Richie Blackmore's frenzyness and the heavy chunky bass lines by Hughes. (this guys really know how to play rock'n'roll!!!!)
The record ends with Stormbringer , -excellent version too.-
The only complain of this album is that is too short, about 45min. and it's very hard to find, it took me too much time to get an used one.

Album Description

Black Comet is dense, economical rock presenting full, raw performances in a chamber rock setting. From the classic rock style of "Look and Listen" and "Pretty Life" in the vein of Neil Young, Van Morrison and VU, to the southern rock gothic of "Elastic Days" that pauses for a Palestrinian lullaby right in middle of the song, this record is handling heavy equipment and handling it well. Horns join in for the "The Pale", a The Who-wants-to-party track, and they appear again on "Black Comet," a song that blends traditional "Cotton-eyed Joe" with Creedence's "Fortunate Son" into a manic coping song -- or is it a fighting song? Like the gas-powered rockabilly spirit of "Racetrack," most tracks on the record hit hard right out of the box, but for this very reason, don't miss the four songs that stray from the ring. Slow dance "Song in F" asks the dance partner to "Stand in, if you must, for the bones on the ground," before the music runs right into regret. "A Revolution Away" is a breathless waltz, a wordless giggle that puts innocence, mischief and hope in very close proximity to the cynical dragon. Funereal anthem "The Witness" might best be filmed at an English football match with the stands singing its Verdi-style chorus, except this is a song about what it feels like when defeat and victory can no longer be distinguished. Gypsy violins replace swooping synthesizers in "Light Dressed Storm," a dance track about the ground getting its revenge on the sky. (Baria Records on The Heavenly States album Black Comet)

Now that Bruce Baby (Springsteen) has taken it down a notch or a dozen, where has all the gusto, that larger-than-humdrum-life rock, gone? It sounds like it's safe in the hands of the Heavenly States. The Oakland band's Black Comet (Baria) dares to grab at that huge honking sound and scope, so rare and out of favor these days - thanks to the always energetic singing by Ted Nesseth, the up-front fiddling of Genevieve Gagon, and the band's tendency to sound as urgent as a 15-alarm fire and generally kick heinie whenever they play. When words fail Nesseth, and the sweet waltz of "A Revolution Away" fades into the poignant flute folk of "The Witness," you're prepared to hand over the keys to Brother Brucie's kingdom of inspirational rock. (Kimberly Chun, San Francisco Bay Guardian, May 2005)

Customer Reviews:

review from the Synthesis.......2005-09-01

The Heavenly States churn out rambunctious rock, like the spawn of The Replacements and The Wonder Stuff. The spirit of a rollicking bar band drives much of Black Comet, but what really makes the album click is the addition of Genevieve Gagon's violin and viola. These smokin' strings combine with occasional sax, trumpet and keys to expand the band's sound, enabling The Heavenly States to rock in a more unique way, which is always good. On songs like "Elastic Days" and "Look And Listen," Gagon's violin adds an extra emotional element and an urgent texture to the tunes. While Ted Nesseth's vocal range does not appear to be that broad, he compensates by having something just as important: a true tone of sincerity.

New Kicks.......2005-07-17

In the past five or so years there has been an obvious trend in popular music. I have heard people refer to it as a "revival". There has been something missing from most of the albums that have been released in this new-old genre. Interpretation. A band of moderately versed musicians can mimic just about any riff or nostalgic mood that rock and roll has to offer, but that is not what makes something relevant. The Heavenly States are relevant because they lace up their musical shoes with their own soles, pockets, tongue and gription. The songs are all different and full of invention. They use their own particular illusions and fears and angst and love, and wrap it up in riffs that we've `almost' heard before. I swear there's a Van Morrison song in the vein of "Look and Listen" but the chorus takes it somewhere else completely. The title track is much like the comet Ted Nesseth sings about. It rushes by, beginning with a huge tribal drum beat that becomes a country ho-down. In the middle eight, the sax solo (yes - a sax solo) is like Clarence Clemons on speed with the rest of the E Street Band. I'm able to hear a multitude of influences and at the same time have a feeling I haven't had before. The album rolls seamlessly in and out of emotions and genres and that makes it stand out like the sore thumb home in the neighborhood -- the home you have to wonder about. This year, it's being subletted by The Heavenly States.

Truly Horrible.......2005-07-16

This is the Heavenly's second release and, like the first, it's a huge disappointment.

As a live band these guys are a visceral, raw, scream-your-head-off band that can live with any other band around.

As a studio band they seemingly have no idea. The drums sound as though they were recorded through a 30 foot steel door from six hundred miles away and the overall sound of the album suffers the same fate.

Songs like Racetrack and Pretty Life (so vital in concert) are limp wristed and lard assed.

How songs that sound so good when you see these people live can die such a horrific studio death is beyond me.

I think THS should really think about changing producers or do something positive for the next release, because this is 12 tracks of bad news.

Great CD of Europe's best jazz artists.......2007-07-10

From the first tune to the last, you will be mezmorized by the quality of these(still largely unknown)jazz artists from all parts of Europe. Hopefully they will become better known to a wider jazz audience before too long.
