Description
"Live In Long Beach 1976" is part of earMUSIC's Deep Purple / DPO reissue series that, over the last couple years, has seen the release of rare live material from the band, including Copenhagen 1972, Stockholm 1970, Paris 1975, Graz 1975 and Long Beach 1971. "Live In Long Beach 1976" features one of the very rare shows where the MK IV line up (Bolin - Coverdale - Hughes - Lord - Paice) performance was recorded live. The show was originally recorded at Long Beach Arena, California on February 27th for radio broadcast on "The King Biscuit Flower Hour", an American syndicated radio show that featured concert performances by various rock artists, such as The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen among many others. Three additional live tracks from another concert of the same tour have been added to the tracklist (Springfield, January 1976).

This must be Deep Purple's 7000th live album.

I am guessing this belongs in "Radio Waves" under the UK's broadcast bootleg law loophole.

This also has been released previously at least 2x:

1. On the wings of A Russian Foxbat

2. King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents in Concert

No, it's an approved and licensed DP release from the EarMusic label.

Absolutely they are legit.

This was also an official King Biscuit Flower Hour release.

As do I.

One of the nights where Bolin (mostly) wasn't trashed on heroin and laid down some amazing solos.

I cringe at Glenn Hughes and his gospel-stylings though.

Geff R. · 27 Sep 2006

Considering he started in 60's band Zephyr, before joining DP & James Gang, then playing on possibly the best fusion jazz album in history (Billy Cobham's Spectrum) & finally doing the solo albums & considering he died at 25; Bolin must have been 15 yo in Zephyr! (Actually he was 18; no clue how he did that much amazing work in such a short time; especially since he was a junkie.)

Bump: Added the cover image and tracklist to the first post.

Really? Mark IV doing Speed King/Strange Kind of Woman/Child in Time/Mandrake Root? I think not.

dcscott · 26 Oct 2007

The track list must be wrong. It looks like it's from 1970

Linda · **Posted:** Thu Mar 24, 2016 1:52 pm

It looks like EarMusic sent out the tracklist for the previously released Long Beach 1971 CD:

Deep Purple's "Official Overseas Live Series" has been running for several years. I've got a number of them.

Geff R. · 27 Sep 2006

I have a few too. I just didn't remember that the label was called "Ear Music".

Linda · **Posted:** Fri Apr 01, 2016 7:39 pm

Okay, guys, we now have the correct, finalised tracklist in the first post. This will actually be a 2CD set!

Geff R. · 27 Sep 2006

Without being able to get to my cd's, I think that's the same as previous releases.

This is the same exact show. I'm not 100% sure , but I think Wild Dogs was on the original
