Deep Purple - Space Truckin' Round The World - Live 68-76 (2009)

2009 two CD live collection from the veteran British Hard Rock band. Where other bands of their vintage have called it a day or disappeared to the obscure gig circuit, Deep Purple continue to pack stadiums around the world and regularly release new albums. This collection proves a remarkable journey through the group's live repertoire, and covers all four of the original line-ups with tracks sourced from across the label's entire catalogue. Starting off on the West Coast of America at the height of flower-power, with tracks recorded on their debut tour in 68, the set soon rips into the core of the band's classic era. Tracks from in Rock, Machine Head and Made in Japan era taken from rare shows across Europe (Germany, Denmark, Monteux) are followed by a final selection from the Mk 3 and Mk 4 years, including a track from Blackmore's last show with the group in Paris in 1975, culminating in the famous Tokyo recording from 1975.
