Rating: 5.0
The old road dogs are still at...
Wow...40 years ago DP unleashed Fireball upon the masses and in the next coming months they would release their masterpiece Machine Head. Can't believe it's been 40 years on, and the lads are still going strong. Beautiful picture quality, superb sound quality, masterfully edited, us old timers can't keep up with the fast editting like some of these other concert releases (like the newest Halford live in Japan). The boys are still at the top of their game, especially Gillan, still sounds good, Paice never hits a wrong note, Glover spot on, and Airey was born for the gig. Steve Morse still shreds away, and as far as looks go, he looks like the oldest of the bunch now, but is easily 10 years younger than the rest of the fellas. The orchestra sounds fresh, and doesn't overpower the band or the music. Really a nice compliment. A natural setting. Pick this up on blu ray if you can, and enjoy the show.
