Mark 2 second time around
Perfect Strangers. Cosmic Jazz and RIJIR were slated to be added to the archive release in 2009! I can’t fond RIJIR.
Providence 1985
5th March 1985 Nobody’s Home was on the Video Singles VHS tape in 1987 and Space Truckin’ has appeared on YouTube. Not the greatest mix.
Knebwoth
22nd June 1985. According to the DPAS the full tape which included Lazy, WFT and (possibly- it’s not on the preFM bootleg) Under the Gun was taken by Windsong/Raw Fruit records due to a contractual agreement with the BBC and so the official Knebworth set omitted these. They may still exist somewhere.
Paris
Full gig from 9th July 1985. Not Gillan’s greatest night and typical slapdash Ritchie reunion performance but it has its moments not least Under The Gun and Roger, Ritchie & Ian doing the Shadows dance moves during Black Night. A Gypsy’s Kiss was included in the New, Live & Rare - The Video Collection 1984-2000
DPOY of Smoke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIPRBLwbN-Y
Alpine Valley
The full gig on 17th August 1985 was videoed. Space Truckin’ was on the New, Live & Rare - The Video Collection 1984-2000 collection and the full set has appeared on the official website but Gillan still has a cold and it’s not great DPOY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXWiEYku0GY
Cologne
Full gig from 8th February 1987. The autobahn bootleg version incorrectly identifies this as 1988. Some tracks have edits. The weakest of the HOBL soundboards.
Irvine Meadows
The full gig from 23rd May 1987. Highway Star, SKOW, Perfect Strangers and WFT appeared on Nobody’s Perfect. The recording lacks ambience with the crowd sounding mile away. The bootleg “Dead or Alive” also has two tracks from Pforzheim. See below.
Phoenix
30th May 1987. Bad Attitude, Knockin’, some of Child In Time and Lazy are on Nobody’s Perfect so the rest of this gig may exist. I prefer Knockin’ from Milan.
Giants Stadium, New Jersey
16th August 1988. Smoke On The Water only appears on the official channel. A memorable gig as they were supported by Guns & Roses and the DP performance was lacking in precision.
DPOY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m27npl7NZPw&list=RDm27npl7NZPw&start_radio=1
Oslo
22nd August 1987. Smoke, some of Black Night, Space, some of Child In Time, Hard Lovin’ Woman and Space are on on Nobody’s Perfect so the rest of this gig may exist. Quite how they ending up choosing this version of Space for Nobody’s Perfect is anyone’s guess because it’s not the best.
Milan
The full gig from 2nd September 1987 and post Ritchies finger break. Great sound and clean guitar performance from Ritchie. Unfortunately, four tracks are not complete. Only Dead Or Alive was on Nobody’s Perfect which is odd because there are great performances of The Unwritten Law, Bad Attitude, Knockin’ and Space that are arguably better than those on it.
Verona.
7th September 1987. some of Black Night is on Nobody’s Perfect so the rest of this gig may exist. The bootleg of the gig is great. Highway Star can only not have made Nobody’s Perfect because Gillan cocks up the lyrics in the third verse. Brilliant guitar solo.
Turin
21st September 1988. Part of a two-gig bootleg Knock the Truckin’ with Kassel. Sound for the first two tracks is a bit muffled then picks up. Lazy & Speed King are brilliant.
Kassel
24th September 1988. Again a bit muffled at the start but picks up. Good perfect Strangers and IMO the best Child In Time of the 87/88 Soundboards.
Mark terrible
Slaves & Masters demos. A mix of demos across Slaves & Battle. The tracks listed for JLT are basically band jams with JLT trying to find a melody and are hardly essential plus an unplugged version of King Of Dreams which is just JLT & Roger, at the very end of the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsjI0vJOjW8
Fire, Ice and Dynamite. Not strictly unreleased as it appeared on the sound-track to the film of the same name and doesn’t feature Jon (a wise move on his part) it is very rare and should stay that way.
Ostrava
4th February 1991. The tour opening gig was video recorded by Czech TV and aired the following week. The full set is bootlegged on Stand By Me, good sound but the vocals are high in the mix unfortunately. Ironically, given Ritchie’s criticism of Gillan, JLT is miles off getting the lyrics to Burn right. JLT introduces Wicked Ways by declaring that this “should fuck Saddam Hussein” – not sure how he squares that away as a Putin apologist. The “bonus” tracks on the bootleg are audience cuts from Rotterdam.
Budapest
5th February 1991. On the very dubious Deep Purple Rock Box which has been available from Amazon it’s only the tracks from the 50 minute TV broadcast so misses Burn, Truth Hurts, The Cut Runs deep, Perfect Strangers and Wicked Ways. JLT is at his most embarrassing during Fire In The Basement.
Philadelphia
20th April 1991. Possibly a radio broadcast and another that appears on dodgy looking releases available through Amazon- The Broadcast Collection 1968 - 1991-Deep Purple. Probably the best sounding of the JLT era soundboards.
San Paulo
21st August 1991. Another to appear on a dodgy CD available through Amazon called “The Boys From Brazil”
Israel
28th September 1991. A radio broadcast with a very good sound but you have to put up with the DJ talking over the start of most of the tracks. Thankfully this was the end of the JLT era.
Mark two for the third and final time
Slaves & Masters demos bootleg. More interesting than the Slaves demos this is Gillan doing first takes at the vocals over finished tracks for Ramshackle, Anya, Battle, Twist and Lick It Up.
Bregenz.
September 21st 1993. Footage by MTV of the band rehearsing for The Battle Rages On tour with complete versions of Anya, A Twist In The Tale and The Battle Rages On. It’s good stuff – be good if there was some more.
DPOY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSfnt-RD2zU
Milan
26th September 1993. Bootlegged on Battle Master. The mix is a bit odd and by the standards of 93 not the greatest performance.
Oldenburg Germany.
6th October 1993. Pro-shot Anya but by the standards of the tour rather restrained
DPOY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3q1kBrojgQ
Munich
14th October. Professionally recorded. Jerry Bloom tried to get this officially released but the cost of the tape transfer was prohibitive. A missing gem if the audience version I have is anything to go by.
Zabrze (near Katowice), Poland.
31st Oct 1993. Filmed for polish TV. Highway Star is the only complete track and Gillan is a bit rough.
Copenhagen
12th November 1993. A complete Black Night was shown on Danish TV.
Mark Satriani
The DPAS reported that the buzz created by the Japanese tour led to a recording from it being earmarked for release in 1994, at least until it was nixed by Satriani due to his unhappiness with the recording’s quality or more likely contractual reasons.
St Gallen
26th June 1994 FM Broadcast on Swiss Radio “Rock Special Radio” Purple Dreams Got-not full set
Bayreuth
6th July 1994. The last gig with Satriani and recorded but I can’t find any provenance for it. There are some tape speed issues but it cooks.
