Live from The California Jam Festival, Ontario Speedway, California, April 6th 1974. TRACK LISTING: 1) Burn; 2) Might Just Take Your Life; 3) Lay Down, Stay down; 4) Mistreated; 5) Smoke on the Water; 6) You Fool No One; 7) Space Truckin'. Deep Purple's 1974 US tour promoting the Burn album climaxed with this show at the Ontario Motor Speedway in California. The band were well into their stride, they were the highest selling artist in the US in 1973 and were enjoying the rewards and the lifestyle that went with it. Deep Purple's fiery twilight performance was capped with Ritchie Blackmore setting his guitar and amplifier ablaze, raising balls of flame into the night sky. This officially licensed release from South Korea is in English with optional Korean subtitles.

Great Classic Rock DVD
As a Country Blues fan, I can't say that I'm the biggest Deep Purple fan in the world. However, I highly enjoy many Classic Rock acts, such as Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Deep Purple. This show finds them in excellent form. Ritchie's guitar playing is fantastic, Paice's drumming is frantic, Coverdale and Hughes both sing their hearts out, but, to me, the real star of the show is Lord, whose organ work is simply breathtaking. I bought this dvd at a subway station store in MyeongDong, Seoul, South Korea today, for three dollars, and am quite pleased with my purchase. This dvd is strongly recommended to anybody who enjoys '70s Classic Rock and great electric guitar work. "Mistreated" has a Bluesy undercurrent, thus it seems semi-appropriate for me to place this item's review on my Blues blog. It's easy to see how Ritchie inspired a certain '80s guitar playing "hero" who has an amazing amount of talent but can't write a good song to save his life!
