Hi, having been a deep purple follower for approximaitely 43 years, 'wow' does that sound a long time, Ive seen every phase of this band live. I can tell you what a fine bunch of musicians this band has turned out, nd this has got to be the happiest lineup to date. Everyone is relaxed and just playing for the fans, young and old. The musicianship is second to none. The drive and power has always been there, and still is to date. I won't tell you about each individual song, just an all round view of this DVD. Ive only watched the first disc in this dvd collection, and already, im taken back in time to when i was just a nipper, with my long hair, which ive still got, just abit greyer n thinner. Anyway thats enough of that. This DVD is a great tribute to the fans as well as a great band. Obviously Ian Gillan isn't as sweet on those high notes as he use to be, but that doesn't take anything away from his performance, its beautiful and in tune, which he's never had any trouble with. Rogers Glovers bass still drives on, and there's a great tightness between him and Ian Paice, which there has to be, mind they should be by now. But its always been there, its a great marriage. Ian Paice for me is undoubtedly the best rock drummer ive seen, and ive seen them all. John Lord, well what more can i say. They've even named a sound on a keyboard after him, so that tells you something about the man. Now the new guys, Steve morse an absolute great guitarist, got some great licks of his own, stamps his own style in the band. Yes he churns out those ritchie blackmore riffs quite well, but he does his own thing, n its great. Don airey, the man to take over from Jon. Yet again a great musician, in his own right. But this is the biggest shoes he will ever have to fill, and he does it well. Again he brings something different to the band, like steve. All in all this is a world class performance all round. Also lets not forget the sound and lighting. Absolutely superb, This stands out there on its own, the colours are sharp and vibrant and the sound is crystal clear, complimenting the great music performances. A lot of effort has gone in to the production of this DVD, and its paid off. Some great closeups, angles and long shots. If you are into rock you'll love this DVD. If your'e a purple fan, and you havn't bought this yet, get it ordered, you'll be pleased you did. Anyway thats all i can say, i enjoyed it immensly, and another three discs to go. Uh" just one other thing, the price. It vairies wherever you buy obviously, but this was under a tenner. For four discs and a booklet, no i didnt buy it under the counter at my local pub, no, its not a copy. DEEP PURPLE AROUND THE WORLD LIVE. It's 10 out of 10 for me. Thanks for your time, i hope this has been a help, PhilRead full review

For a band that is best seen live it has been to long for the fans to get a chance to see the latest line up live on their TV.Gillan`s voice may not be as young as it once was but the man has not lost any of the magic.Ian paice just gets better with the years and Roger Glover is the rock he always was.Jon lord and then Don Airy show their masters of the keyboards and new six string king Steve morse is a more than compatant replacement for Richie Blackmore.All the old favorates and the new favorates are on thease discs along with some tracks that havent been heard live for too long.They may not be teenagers but the energy and atmosphere they generate is second to none and show why they have been a top headline band for so long. Their relentless touring around the world shows they still have the energy and loyal fans to keep them at the top for many years to come. Thease shows are without doubt a tribute to their unending appeal and a must for any Deep Purple fan anywhere.Read full review
