I like Deep Purple. I own several Deep purple live shows. I prefer the concerts with Steve Morse. This concert (Live at Montreux) DVD features the guitar player Steve Morse. I would rate the song selection, overall band performance, and picture as Excellent (a rating of a 5). Then, why did you rate this as Good (a rating of a 4)? Most of this rating comes from the inclusion of the footage from 2000. The camera work is a shot from the front. There are no "behind shots." You can see and hear Jon Lord, but you do not really ever get to see his fingers/hands making all of those wonderful notes. The hands are hidden by the instrument he is playing. The same goes with Ian Paice. Ther are not any shots from behind the drum kit. The sound (in PCM Stereo) is much lower in volume than the sound of the 1996 show. This all said, this DVD captures Deep Purple doing what they do best, and that is rocking. This DVD rocks.Read full review
Not only is the music tight and well played,especially their big hits, but the interaction between the band members reveals the fun they were having during the concert. Well worth the value for any of their fans.

1996 - While I never was a very serious Deep Purple fan, I thought this was a great DVD. Steve Morse is a great fit and the interplay between Gillan, Morse and Lord brings back memories when rock was at its peak. Yeah, most of them are past their prime but there's plenty of intesity left. Ted The Mech, No One Came, When A Blind Man Cries, and Cisco Kid are great examples of good song writing, performed by artists that are some of the best in their respective fields. By 2000, well.....there is a noticable difference, but I take my hat off to them for still playing solid rock!
THEY ARE PAST THEIR PRIME, BUT STILL PUT ON A GREAT SHOW!! STILL BETTER THAN MOST BANDS OUT THERE TODAY!!!
