DEEP PURPLE: 'Perfect Strangers Live' To Be Released On DVD In October - July 24, 2013
1984 saw the long-awaited reunion of the classic DEEP PURPLE Mark II lineup of Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice. It was the first time they had been together since 1973. They recorded a brand new studio album, "Perfect Strangers", and headed out on tour. The band's show in Melbourne, Australia was professionally filmed and is the only full-length concert recording of the band at this time.

The "Perfect Strangers Live" DVD — due out October 14 via Eagle Vision — is a stunning concert with the band in incendiary form. The setlist mixes then new tracks from the "Perfect Strangers" album with favourites from the early seventies culminating in the brilliant "Smoke On The Water" finale. This is without doubt one of the finest DEEP PURPLE concerts ever filmed and a must have for their legions of fans.

"Perfect Strangers Live" is 141 minutes long and features the following tracks:

01. Highway Star
02. Nobody’s Home
03. Strange Kind Of Woman
04. A Gypsy’s Kiss
05. Perfect Strangers
06. Under The Gun
07. Knocking At Your Back Door
08. Lazy (including Ian Paice drum solo)
09. Child In Time
10. Difficult To Cure
11. Jon Lord Keyboard Solo
12. Space Truckin' (with Ritchie Blackmore guitar solo)
13. Black Night
14. Speed King
15. Smoke On The Water

Bonus feature: Tour documentary

I might have to pick that one up...I have been looking for a vinyl copy of Perfect Strangers but haven't found a good quality copy yet.

The fact it's the best and definitive line-up also adds a lot of appeal to this DVD.

Seeing Purple...

I have Come Hell Or High Water which is a good show but shorter in comparison plus it was interspersed with inteviews not to mention it was marred by one of Blackmore's wacko episodes.

I will likely get this too and hoping it will be in Blu-Ray.

I'll be getting this

Sounds like this will be a nice DVD and the great DP lineup of the Mark II days reunited. I got to have this for sure.

Definitely one I should purchase. A good set list.

I hope there is an audio version.
