earMusic has shared the details of the next two releases of Deep Purple’s celebrated Limited Edition Soundboard Series.
Live In Tokyo 2001 was recorded among the two nights the band played in Japan, during an extensive tour in Asia. It captures a stand-out performance by the band, supported by conductor Paul Mann and the Shin Nihon Philharmonic Select Orchestra.
As in the show´s premiere at the Royal Albert Hall, Jon Lord’s masterful three-piece "Concerto" was the core of the show, but many other classics from Purple´s history, as well as songs from the members solo career made this set-list unique. None other than Ronnie James Dio was part of the show, and he is featured on multiple songs.
Live In Hong Kong 2001 captures instead the raw, pure, and more rock 'n' roll side of Deep Purple; here at its best in a show played in a sold out Hong Kong Coliseum, the city’s largest concert hall.
Both live albums come as strictly limited Deluxe Coloured Vinyl Editions, as well as limited 2CD Digipaks and, of course, digitally on your provider of choice.
