Customer Reviews

Disappointing
I was mislead by the title (a critical review). My expectations was that this is the story of DP and what happened between mark II, III and IV. Not a clue. The dvd contains TV-recordings and some folks comments. I just expected some historical background, like what was actually the reason that Gillan and Blackmore are not excatly best friends etc. I got more background history from Coverdales homepage (and Glenn Hughes' as well). This is not a critical review. This is video from BBC together with bla-bla-bla from more or less unknown people.
