    • Hey Nate! Hope you’re doing well! Gotta be honest, I was laughing at John’s Jennifer Coolidge impression then was sold on the random painter calling to check in on the 911 alert. I Recently just got a good pay bump at work and seeing as all I do is listen to podcasts at work for 8-12 hours a day I have you guys to thank for my pay bump by keeping me occupied (and laughing) also felt fitting to upgrade on one of my favorite album episodes. Thanks for all you guys do and hope to catch you guys soon!

Reviews:

  • Darker Than Blue Issue 50  February 1998
    • http://www.deep-purple.net/DPASmags/dtb50/dtb50.html
    • DEEP PURPLE
      Live At The Olympia ’96. EMI : June 1997: 2xCD
    • Purple’s new double live CD – sorry “official bootleg” (Roger says the oxymoronic sticker was not their idea) but there were real problems over the UK release thanks to a cock-up on the price front. The official retail price was only a few pence short of £25 which seemed very off-putting to us. Apparently soon after the CD was issued, EMI sent all shops a letter telling them the price had been wrong, and it should actually sell for around £16. For anyone looking for a serious Purple collectors’ item, the artwork for the CD cover exists on a wall somewhere in New York – and was done by a schoolmate of Roger’s stepson. So, a cheap return air flight with hammer and bolster chisel in your hand luggage!
    • It doesn’t seem that long since we were bending our ears to the last (official and current) Deep Purple live offering – namely COME HELL OR HIGH WATER. Yet almost three years mark the gap between that set (issued in November ’94) and this latest title. As for the recording itself, well all I can say is I hope they didn’t pay a lot for it! The overall effect is a little messy, poorly balanced and lacking in clout. COME HELL grabbed you by the parts as it powered out of the speakers; this one kind of begs you to crawl inside the cabinets and have a peek around to see where the sound has gone to. In the past, Purple live sets have always set out their stall right from the opening couple of bars. Here, instruments seem to be unsure of just where they ought to be. I guess some of this could be down to recreating the unusual on-stage set-up, but if so it doesn’t really work. The drum sound is at times weedy, with lots of irritating cymbal noise being little compensation; the guitar is not too easy to hear, and the keyboards (as on the nights we saw them) are buried except during solos. Ian Gillan is simply pitched somewhere in the middle of all this, and sounds like he’s been dubbed on afterwards, while the bass is lacks definition. Perhaps the recordings were poor, maybe it was mixed hastily – oh well; as with many bootlegs, ears adjust to the ambient sound pretty quickly and to be fair, it does get better as the set progresses. I suppose were we reviewing an actual bootleg, everyone would be raving about it, shoving one another aside to be first at the dealer’s table.
    • The final section in PICTURES OF HOME is particularly exciting, with Morse fixed in a wall of Purple sound, before they descend into BLACK NIGHT, and parody comes dangerously close. CASCADES is more like it, a strong chugging sound, and then the much vaunted brass section blasting away in the background. I’m sure like many I’d wondered just what this would sound like, but it’s far from intrusive, being more of a bright seventies brass effect than any attempt at following the tune. Lordy is playing incredibly quickly here and the whole show has just gone up a notch or two. NO ONE CAME is similarly imbued with a real syncopated spark, and what with the jazzy touches of brass, it’s just a brilliant rendition – and in retrospect one of the highlights of the CD for me. The sax players last for a curiously unsatisfying PURPENDICULAR WALTZ and then troop off (“where did they comes from” questions Ian to nobody in particular). If this CD does one thing, it disproves the theory that one Purple gig is going to be just like another Purple gig without the man in black. This show has different peaks from many of those I saw, and a different feel as well. I’m sure overall it’s not as good as a couple of gigs we witnessed, but this is the problem if you go for a one-concert recording – and only tape one flipping show.
  • Review by our friend Glen Miller
    • https://www.allmusic.com/album/live-at-the-olympia-96-mw0000464277
    • As a present to their fans, particularly the ones on the Internet, the band decided to put out another live album — such live releases now tallying in double figures, unprecedented for any rock band. Unedited, undubbed and with a three-piece horn section blowing in on four tunes at the Olympia in Paris, Deep Purple are in their best habitat — exhibiting raw power, free-for-all jamming and charging into the new numbers culled from Purpendicular. Reinvigorating the classics, namely “Smoke On the Water,” “Speed King” and “Highway Star,” the veterans still prove they can mess with the best on stage.

    • Lord Longford with some excellent JLT song title observations:
      • Hearing JLT with ‘Riot in the Dungeon’. Reminded me lyrically of ‘Fire in the Basement’ on Slaves and Masters. He certainly likes his “Activity Downstairs” double-entendre theme. Any others?
      • Some new song title ideas for JLT: Stirrings in the Cellar Violence in the Vault Rumblings in the Submarine One in the style of Gillan: Rhapsody of the Regions And if David Coverdale wrote one of these style songs: My Massive Exploding Cock and Balls
      • Rich responds: “The Coverdale one is too subtle to be him”

    • Hi Nate,
    • Nice to hear from you. I’m sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Your email went to my Junk folder! Yes, I enjoy your program very much. I am in my 60s ( am I your oldest patron?) and grew up listening to Deep Purple with my school mates in the 1970s. I lived in a country town in Australia and, in those pre internet days, it was very difficult to find out anything about the band. So, I really enjoy listening to you guys and discovering all the fasinating details. I’ve played music all my life and I am still working as a school music teacher. Over the years, I have talk many kids how to play “Smoke on the Water” !

    Postcards From The Edge . . . OF CONNECTICUT!

    • Greetings from Ireland for St. Patrick’s Day
    • Parade Magazine from March 13, 2022 featuring 1972 and the storeis behind the year’s most unforgettable songs!

    Deep Dive Podcast Network:

    Lead up to the Album:

    • This recording is approximately two weeks before the final show the band would play which lead to the breakup.  For 8 years there would be no (official, anyway) Deep Purple.
    • Coverdale met with management after Blackmore’s departure and suggested they change their name.  His ideas: Good Company, Purple, The Deeps.
    • The show we are about to hear was originally broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour, the American radio show.  It appeared in numerous forms over the years and explains why the audio quality is so good.
    • The King Biscuit Flower Hour was a weekly show which had also featured pefromahnces by Black Sabbath, Genesis, Jhon Lenon, The Who, The Stones, Elton John, etc.
    • Fans of the show called it “The Biscuit.”  It had debuted in February of 1973 and was named after a radio show from the 1920s which was sponsored by the King Buiscuit Flour Co.
    • The runners of the show recorded things a little differently.  A lot of other live radio shows would just take the mix off the sound board.  The King Biscuit Flower Hour multitrakced the cecordeing and let the artists take the tapes to mix any way they’d like.
    • They even used to have Quadrophonic recordings as they were sponsored by Pioneer who was trying to make that the standard int he industry.
    • The bootleg surfaced in America in 1977.  The bootleg became highly sought after due to its audio quality and the fine performance turned in by the band.  It soon became a legendary release.
    • In 1994 Deep Purple’s management acquired the tapes and put them out the following year as an official release.
    • Many people familiar with the many bootlegs feel this was one of the best shows on the US tour. This is quite possibly Mark 4 in their finest form.

    • And what about the name? “On the Wings of a Russian Foxbat.”  Simon Robinson writes:
      • So go on then uncle simon [sic], why ‘On The Wings Of A Russian Foxbat’? Well, when that bootleg first came out, the Cold War was still raging. The U.S. military had just got wind of a new Rooskie MIG jet fighter which was said to knock the socks off anything they currently flew at the time. One day a Russian pilot defected, flying into a Japanese airport in one of the planes – codenamed “Foxbat.” ‘Of course you can have it back” came the cry, just as soon as we measure every damn nut and bolt on it! Well, that’s roughly the story. It was nearly twenty years ago, so don’t quote me.

    Reception and Charts:

    • They would only play four more shows on their US tour (San Bernadino, CA, Tempe, AZ [listed as ‘Tempe, CA’ in the liner notes’], Salt Lake City, UT, and Denver, CO) before a brief UK tour of five shows ending with the show in Liverpool which would be their last.
    • The original plan was to leave them time off to work on various solo projects after the US tour but that didn’t happen.
    • Official releases featured additional tracks from a partially recorded show in Springfield, Massachusetts a month earlier on January 26, 1976.
    • Coverdale: “
    • Lord:” What you had here was an astonishingly good bass player, even stoned; one of the world’s great rock drummers; and a Hammon next to the name of Mr. Hammond. I know what I was doing, I was feeling very strong with my abilities at that time. Just those three – it couldn’t have been bad. But then you get Coverdale, who was really finding himself by this time. And Tommy, playing smashing stuff.  It’s not surprising that it sounds good. The only thing that held it back was that it was called Deep Purple. If it had been a new band . . . my God, it would’ve set the world on fire.”

    • At the $5.99 “Nice Price” Tier – Robert Smith!
      • After listening to the podcast for such a long time, I thought it was time for me to put my money where my mouth is. I’ve just enlisted at the Fielding Fowler level as I thought he could use the company !
      • I do listen to other podcasts too (none are quite as enjoyable) but one of the other podcasters told me it’s a bit like sending a message in a bottle, which is a good way of putting it. You probably only hear from a fraction of the listeners but I’m sure there are a lot like me who look forward to their Monday DPP episode and your chats about food, drink etc. Oh and the music too.

    • Jasur M (Jah-soor) – Russia – 5 Stars!
      • Something I look forward to in my week
      • As an avid Purple fan and connoisseur of their extended family, this podcast is a treat for looking in depth about things I know about and introducing me to new wild bands and meeting of minds that I never would’ve even thought about. (Thought I could wait as long as it takes for the Hughes Turner Project episode to come around because I have no clue how that band was even conceived to be a good idea) But ramblings aside, the hosts are perfect in encapsulating that feeling of listening to a record you heard about for a while but could never find in your stores or just buying a new record and listening to it for the first time and I love that. On top of that THEY’RE HILARIOUS!!! My highlights are Nate’s story about the dog that had muffins fall on it and the James Gang song about being Norwegian. Keep up the god’s work you two are putting in, it’s so dearly appreciated.
