Deep Purple: Live at Montreux 2006 (2007) ReviewI don't watch a lot of concert videos, but as a fan of classic rock, I figured Deep Purple was a safe bet. This concert took place in Montreux in 2006, so Deep Purple wasn't in their prime, but this is still a solid show. The band sounds excellent, but the lead vocals don't always keep up the pace. This is never too much of a concern however and as the show moves on, Ian Gillan is able to get into the groove with his vocals. The technical aspects of the concert are top notch, with a lot of cameras used and that provides numerous perspectives, giving it a kinetic texture. The lighting is great and the camerawork is terrific, a professionally photographed and enjoyable to watch concert from start to finish. Below is a list of the songs performed.
1. Pictures of Home
2. Things I Never Said
3. Strange Kind of Woman
4. Rapture of the Deep
5. Wrong Man
6. The Well-Dressed Guitar
7. Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye
8. When a Blind Man Cries
9. Lazy
10. Keyboard Solo
11. Space Truckin'
12. Highway Star
13. Smoke on the Water
14. Hush
15. Too Much Fun
16. Black Night
VIDEO:
The concert is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen. This is a recent concert and as such, it looks quite good. The image captures all the bright lights that flash across the stage, which means at times detail is lost, but even during strobes, the visuals hold up well. The colors weren't as vivid as I expected, but hues still come off as bright. No trouble with contrast, black levels are spot on and don't waver in the least. This is as close as you can get to being in the front row unless you were there, so I think fans will be most pleased.
AUDIO:
I went with the DTS HD 5.1 option here and without question, this soundtrack rocks. The sound design here is impressive, I couldn't believe how well crafted the audio was at times. While the video was close to the live experience, I have to think this sounds even better than being at the show in person. The surround use is beyond great, thanks to directional presence and just superb movement. The instruments really shine in this mix, but the vocals also sound terrific. This disc also includes a Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 option, as well as an LPCM stereo soundtrack.
EXTRAS:
This disc includes interviews with the band, as well as the London Hard Rock Cafe performance in 2006. This concert runs about an hour and should please fans. The interviews cover a wide range of topics, from the story behind Smoke on the Water to their fans and beyond.Deep Purple: Live at Montreux 2006 (2007) OverviewFew bands are more closely associated with Montreux than DeepPurple and there was simply no other contender when it came to choosing theact to headline the closing night of the 40th Montreux Festival in 2006.The band duly delivered one of their finest live performances, sprinklingsongs from their latest album "Rapture Of The Deep" through a set chockfull of their classic tracks. There was even a brand new song "Too MuchFun" written especially for the occasion and, of course, a show-stoppingperformance of "Smoke On The Water".Tracklisting: Live At Montreux 2006: 1) Pictures Of Home 2) Things I Never Said 3)Strange Kind Of Woman 4) Rapture Of The Deep 5) Wrong Man 6) TheWell-Dressed Guitar 7) Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye 8) When A Blind Man Cries 9)Lazy 10) Keyboard Solo 11) Space Truckin' 12) Highway Star 13) Smoke On TheWater 14) Hush 15) Too Much Fun 16) Black Night Bonus Features: London Hard Rock: 1) Fireball 2) I Got Your Number 3) Strange Kind Of Woman4) Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye 5) Rapture Of The Deep 6) Wrong Man 7) Lazy 8)Perfect Strangers 9) Highway Star 10) Smoke On The WaterInterviews with the band.
