Deep Purple - BBC Sessions, Volume 4: In Concert, Paris Theatre, London, Britain, 2-19-1970

Here's the next in my series of Deep Purple BBC albums.

This one is different from the three previous ones in that it's a complete, though somewhat short, live concert. It was broadcast on the BBC, with DJ John Peel serving as the host. Peel soured on the band shortly after this, finding their new music too loud and bombastic. But you can hear him talking between most of the songs here, and he sounded approving.

This concert has been officially released several times, the first time as part of an album called "Deep Purple in Concert." My version doesn't differ from the official one, but I've posted this here so I can present everything the band did for the BBC in their prime years.

The concert is 55 minutes long. There are only five songs because there's a lot of jamming. The last three songs are all over 10 minutes long.

For the cover art, I took a screenshot of a YouTube video of the band playing on the TV show "Doing Your Thing." I had to resort to doing that because I couldn't find any really good color photos of the band on stage in 1970.
