Description
Copenhagen 1972 was recorded over 40 years ago, featuring Deep Purpleâ€™s Mk II line-up (Blackmore-Lord-Paice-Gillan-Glover). This exact line-up released albums that are milestones of rock: â€œIn Rockâ€œ, â€œMachine Headâ€œ and â€œFireballâ€œ. Yes, one might even say that those were the halcyon days of the band which were sparked by the 1969 recruitment of Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, band-mates in Episode Six, to create the so-called Mk II DP line-up. Glover was an excellent bass player and a fine songwriter, but it was singer Gillan who really gave Purple the star quality the first line-up, featuring Rod Evans and Nick Simper, had lacked. They joined forces with Ritchie Blackmore on guitars, the unforgettable Jon Lord on organ and Ian Paice on drums and soon, the Mk II line-up became the most commercially successful up to this point.

Description

Deep Purple's legendary Mk II lineup (Gillan, Glover, Blackmore, Lord, Paice) explodes on "Copenhagen 1972", a live recording capturing them just before releasing rock classics like "Machine Head" and "Fireball". This electrifying concert showcases raw, unchoreographed brilliance, featuring future anthems like "Highway Star" and "Lazy" from the then-unreleased "Machine Head". Witness Gillan's soaring vocals clash with Blackmore's scorching guitar, while Lord's keyboards weave magic. Don't miss Paice's thunderous drums and Glover's bass grooves anchoring the captivating chaos. Experience a time capsule of 1972, when rock pushed boundaries, and anything felt possible. As bonus this edition includes tracks from a 1973 performance in New York and a documentary, which make this a must-have for true Purple fans, offering a glimpse into the band's creative peak and the revolutionary musical landscape they shaped.
