| Description: | â??Copenhagen 1972â? was recorded over 40 years ago, featuring Deep Purpleâ??s Mk II line-up (Blackmore-Lord-Paice-Gillan-Glover). This exact line-up released albums
that are milestones of rock: â??In Rockâ??, â??Machine Headâ?? and â??Fireballâ??. Yes, one might even say that those were the halcyon days of the band which were sparked by
the 1969 recruitment of Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, band-mates in Episode Six, to create the so-called Mk II DP line-up. Glover was an excellent bass player and a
fi ne songwriter, but it was singer Gillan who really gave Purple the star quality the fi rst line-up, featuring Rod Evans and Nick Simper, had lacked. And donâ??t forget, this
version of Purple shone despite existing during rockâ??s golden age. They joined forces with Ritchie Blackmore on guitars, the unforgettable Jon Lord on organ and Ian
Paice on drums and soon, the Mk II line-up became the most commercially successful up to this point. - AUDIO RESTORED AND DIGITALLY REMASTERED IN 2013Limited triple vinyl LP pressing. Live archive release from the British Hard Rock legends. Imagine a world without MACHINE HEAD. Imagine a Deep Purple set-list without 'Smoke on the Water'. Imagine a time when the music business had yet to become a vast multi-national conglomerate. This was the primordial landscape on March 1st, 1972 when Deep Purple took to the stage at the Kobenhavns Boldklub (KB) Hallen in Copenhagen. It was a time of no boundaries or restrictions, no blueprints or formulas. Rock music wasn't exactly in it's infancy, but there were still plenty of new territories to explore, mountains to climb, peaks to conquer. It was a time when anything was possible. And Purple were on a mission to prove it. Everything about this recording is spontaneous and un-choreographed, loose and lethal, teetering and tempestuous. An explosive combination of brinkmanship and barely controlled chaos. Which, in a lip-synched and auto-tuned modern-day music world, comes as a breath of fresh air.Made In Germany
