Album Description Blackmore's final concert with Deep Purple Mk 3 is at last issued in full on this digitally remixed release culled from the original multi-tracks. Taped in April 1975, it features nine tracks including songs from 'Burn' & 'Stormbringer' performed before an enthusiastic Parisian crowd, the songs heightened by an emotional performance by Blackmore himself, with some great guitar work. This double CD has been remixed (with three performances never issued before) from 16 track masters. Includes full color 12-page booklet with notes, memorabilia & photos. Purple Records Ltd. 2004.

CD ReviewsRitchie! Isaac Salapa | 02/07/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "wow... i got this album soon after it came out and i cant believe that everyone in the world isnt required to own it... its AMAZING.. MIII's made in japan!... very bluesy... its amazing... ITS WORTH THE PRICE!!!!!!!!!" Excellent Mk 3 show. Isaac Salapa | Harrisburg | 08/21/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This show was the last show Deep Purple did with Ritchie Blackmore until the reunion in 1984. Although he'd been somewhat lackadaisical during earlier shows on the Stormbringer tour, Ritchie gave this emotional final show everything he had, and it spurred the rest of the band to deliver a stellar performance. Coverdale and Hughes do the vocals very well; Glenn's shrieking is under control. Ian Paice and Jon Lord leave it all out on stage, so to speak. There are several good reasons to have this recording. One, it was Ritchie's last show with Purple for 9 years. Two, this renders Made in Europe, Mk 3: The Final Concerts and other such compilations from the last few Mk 3 shows obsolete. There's no splicing or editing. Nada. This is the whole show, including Coverdale's and Hughes' chitchat in between songs. Three, this is the best Mk 3 show I've heard to date and stands up well with Mk 2 live stuff. Burn and Stormbringer blow the studio versions away. The Gypsy really shines live. I wasn't particularly fond of the album version, but here you can really feel the emotion Ritchie puts into it. Mistreated is well done, but I miss the longer, louder guitar intro of the Burn tour and subsequent performances with Rainbow. Then, of course, we have Smoke on the Water. I'm not a fan of the Mk 3 rendition of this song, though. Highway Star proves to be a pleasant surprise. After hearing the two live Mk 4 recordings (Russian Foxbat and Tokyo 1975), I was appalled with the way Highway Star was done. I had my doubts about Coverdale's ability to do it, but he manages to pull it off fairly well here, although the words have changed. Again. Most of the song is Ritchie going nuts and demolishing his guitar, but it's still cool to hear. End note: Coverdale and Hughes have their little chats with the audience in between songs, but at the beginning of the show, during the intro to Burn, I swear I can hear Coverdale softly singing something like, "Ohhh...if only you didn't smoke cocaine..." I can DEFINITELY make out the word "cocaine." That makes me smirk a little bit inside." Mk III rocks - most of the time Ernst Meyer | Sydney, New South Wales, Australia | 07/07/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "This live recording is a perfect example why live on stage Deep Purple Mk III were both better and worse than the Mk II line up.
I say "better" because Coverdale had a stronger voice than Gillan. Glenn Hughes style of playing the bass guitar was more interesting and varied than Roger Glover's. The band was brilliant when it played songs from the "Burn" and "Stormbringer" albums. I say "worse" because Glenn Hughes' screaming is at time unbearable, as are his excursions into funk and soul. Also, it never sounded quite right when then the Mk III band played Mk II songs. The sound on this album is crystal clear and spectacular. The first CD is brilliant, the second CD is not my cup of tea. The interaction between Coverdale/Hughes with the audience is at times painful to the ears, as is the Glenn Hughes' attempts of singing. Someone should have explained to this guy that Deep Purple was not a funk/soul group from Motown, but a hard rock band instead. "Live in Paris" surpasses "Made in Europe" and "The final concerts". It is the CD of choice when it comes to the Mk III farewell tour. Saying that: should "Made in Europe" be remixed and remastered one day, with the song playing order being restored and the annoying editing being removed, then there will be no reason for buying "Live in Paris 1975" any longer.
