>> Recorded at the San Diego Sports Arena, April 9th 1974, on the last date of the five week U.S. Burn tour with the band in blistering form; able to let their hair down, the sheer power and quality of the performance has to be heard to be believed, includes 'Burn', 'Might Just Take Your Life', 'Lay Down, Stay Down', 'Mistreated', 'Smoke On The Water' and a Jon Lord solo, complete with a picture booklet containing extensive sleevenotes. Four tracks from this show turned up first on the Perks & Tit vinyl bootleg, issued on the legendary Kornyphone label back in the late 70's. For this first official CD release Sonic Zoom tracked down the sound engineer who taped the first hour of the show through the mixing desk, and have been able to add extra material (including the missing cut of the band's rock anthem Smoke On The Water), all the between song patter, a concluding Jon Lord solo and much improved audio quality. Sonic Zoom/Purple. 2007. <<

How does something like this get released? I know that Purple have had a slew of unauthorized releases through the years, but it never stops! It also looks woefully incomplete.
Thank God this was at one time on the "legendary" Kornyphone label. I guess the infamous Apepickelnudemetermaid label was beaten to the punch on that one.

Are these the only 5 songs played on that tour? There must be other tunes they could add to all these live shows from that period.

That's great. Best laugh I've had in a while.

Sonic Zoom is Purple's official bootleg label. Check out http://www.purplerecords.net Looks like this supersedes "perks & tit"
