The DVD was released in a numbered edition of 1000 copies and is only sold on the Swiss site www.deeppurple.ch.
It captures the group’s one-hour private concert organized by a Swiss bank for its employees and other invited guests on 12/18/2007.
But the show does not at all look like some kind of additional dish to the bankers chewing at the tables. This is a completely ordinary concert in a normal hall, and a rather big one, with a seated parterre and balconies. And the audience crept up as needed – on their faces there are continuous smiles, joy, jumping up from their seats and all other normal concert emotions, nothing reminds of the status of a corporate event. The group is in a good mood, the set list consists entirely of classics.
Of the funny moments, I would like to mention Gillan’s remark before When A Blind Man Cries: “Welcome to the Led Zeppelin reunion” … The concert took place just a week after this event.
The concert was perfectly filmed professionally – 6 cameras, including a camera on a crane, 16:9 aspect ratio, many close-ups of the musicians’ hands, good editing.
Although local, this is an official release with the permission of Thames Talent and Bruce Payne, respectively.
