Music reviews of Live at Inglewood 1968
Music Review: A Nice Companion To The First Three LPs
Rating: 5 Stars
This is the only known live recording of the Rod Evans Era Deep Purple.It was recorded during their supporting slot on the 1968 Cream Farewell Tour. As far as sound quality goes,this is a bootleg; it is easily the least listenable of the archival live Deep Purple releases so far. But it is worth having simply because it is a decent companion to the first three Purple LPs that feature Rod Evans as lead singer. Musically,it is easy to see why Blackmore sacked Evans from the band: he sounded great on the band's psychedelic/prog studio albums but was unable to properly front the live sonic aggressive/metal assault that they were fast becoming.This concert is only an hour long.All of the songs are,(by Deep Purple standards,)fairly short with the exception of Mandrake Root and River Deep Mountain High which run almost 10 minutes each. The best players here are Jon Lord,Ian Paice and Nick Simper; Evans sings well and Ritchie Blackmore simply sucks.He has always been a hot or cold player and here he is simply frozen.He sounds like he has no idea where to take this music; his only moment of redemption is the soloing in Wring That Neck. Jon Lord sounds like a true revelation,his classical training is upfront on several of his solos,especially during Mandrake Root and in the 2001 Space Odyssey opening to River Deep Mountain High. Ian Paice is always a joy and seems totally unable to play badly. Indeed,if you can get past the boiler room sound quality of this disk there is much here to be enjoyed. The Mark 1 Deep Purple has always been my favourite and it's nice to see that they could cut it in concert even at this embryonic stage in their career.
