Synopsis

Album Description
2009 three CD set of solo live tracks from the Deep Purple vocalist, authorized by Ian Gillan himself. Disc One was recorded at London's legendary Rainbow Theatre on 4th March 1981, with Bernie Torme on lead guitar. With the exception of one song, the performance is previously unreleased. Disc Two features the band's triumphant headlining set at the Reading Festival on 29th August 1981, with Janick Gers on lead guitar. Only half of the songs have previously been available. Disc Three features exciting extras: five songs recorded in April 1982 for BBC Radio 1's Friday Rock Show and five songs from a concert in Nottingham in March 1981. None of these tracks have been officially released before. The booklet features many photos and ephemera from two fans' personal collections. Edsel Records.
 

CD Reviews

As I remember it - Gillan live was only OK
Duncan Lane | Hamilton Square, NJ United States | 03/31/2010
(2 out of 5 stars)

"This is authentic Gillan and presents the live material faithfully, which is not necessarily a good thing. At times Gillan's voice is way down in the mix, as it was live, and he acts his usual shambolic, slightly confused front-man persona that somehow robs the show of its momentum and therefore excitement. By the early 80s his voice was deteriorating and it shows here as he has to force his (formerly) trademark screaming. I had hoped they would fix the mix a bit and bring up the guitars and voice as needed, but that hasn't been done. Disappointing. It is indeed For Gillan Fans Only and probably only the most committed of those."
