Live at the Olympia '96.......2006-09-28
Band Personnell:
Ian Gillan - Vocals
Steve Morse - Guitars
Roger Glover - Bass
Ian Paice - Drums
Jon Lord - Organs and Keyboards
This album is G-R-E-A-T, Steve shows how great he tackles the classic riffs by Blackmore, Gillan is somethimes lacking but he's got strenght and hit the notes great, this live album is the best since "Made in Japan", buy it, highly recommended.
I would give it a million Star !!!.......2006-05-31
This is incredable... cant say more!!! just close ur eyes and buy it... I wish I have this Live on DVD as well... and I wish I (with my hubby) attend a DP Live .. this is my dream
Made In Paris.......2006-03-21
Better than Made In Japan by any measure. Brilliant, seasoned, virtuoso musicians playing as a tight, cohesive unit. No noodling or other time wasting as on Made In Japan and other DP live recordings of that era.
The brilliant Morse/Lord duels rank among the best of the best; in fact any of the solos by these two rank among the best of the best. Morse breathed new life and enthusiasm into a great but declining band, prompting the attainment of new artistic heights.
This one brought me back.......2004-05-22
I had pretty much given up on deep Purple after the House of Blue Light and a very quick listen to Purpendicular but something made me check this album out. The opening track is Fireball and I half expected it to be some tired old rockers trotting out a mediocre version. Whoa Nelly! Was I wrong. This track and every other one is blistering! The band absolutely cooks on this album and its so cool having a complete, uninterrupted live show, in the correct order and surprise, surprise a horn section. After this I went out and bought every DP album I'd missed, saw the band at every opportunity, and was first in line for new releases. They have restored my faith and I promise you they do not disappoint, live or on record now. The only explanation I can give is Steve Morse. We owe him not just for his playing but for breathing new life into a band that was in danger of dying out due to internal conflict. Great sound and mix on this record too. So much tighter and better sounding than Nobody's Perfect. You can tell they were having fun. Get it!
Too long, too many mediocre songs.......2003-08-11
There are some fine songs on this double live CD, but almost all of them (with the exception of the grand "Perfect Strangers") are from Deep Purple's seventies repertoire.
The newer stuff mainly serves one purpose: to remind the listener how inferior Deep Purple's eighties and nineties releases were compared to "Machine Head" and "Fireball".
Ian Gillan and the band perform superbly on "When A Blind Man Cries", the album's best cut, and there are a handful of other fine moments as well (most notably "Highway Star"), but there is also a lot of mediocrity.
If "Live At The Olympia" had been trimmed down to a single CD, it could have been a great album. As it is, it is a good album for serious fans, but more casual ones may not make it through disc I, and are much better served by sticking with "Made In Japan".
