Deep Purple was the first band to note that heavy metal and classical music share a certain deluded grandeur and attempted to combine the two. While what resulted--specifically, their Concerto for Group and Orchestra--was pretty fearful stuff, it did, for better or for worse, pave the way for a generation of classically influenced heavy-rock bands: King Crimson, Yes, and Queen, among others. The concerto on this live CD appears alongside a bunch of the Purple's more genteel songs they played at the Royal Albert Hall, a show that celebrated their 30th anniversary of their first appearance there. Ian Gillan, who can still do a creditable impression of a bomber revving for takeoff, shares vocals with Ronnie James Dio and Sam Brown. --Andrew Mueller

A must see.......2007-03-11

Even if you are not a Deep Purple fan this one is worth the investment. Whilst a little of the visual could be improved it's all there and the audio is of good quality. Butterfly Ball is a real hoot and if you don't enjoy that then you don't like music!
I reall contrast to the 1969 version of the Concertos where the conductor atually enjoys the whole experience.
Go for it!

I was VERY disappointed..........2003-08-12

The Amazon reviewer was right: the first several songs on CD 1 was very laid back, reminding me of Division-Bell-Era Pink Floyd. (Boring!) Didn't hear drums until the third or fourth track, then it was ANYTHING but rock beats. What made S & M so great is that Metallica didn't write BALLADS or NOVELTY SONGS for their production: they rocked on with what they had on hand. Deep Purple wrote some of the hardest rocking songs in the R&R/Heavy Metal library (Mandrake Root, Space Truckin, Child in Time), and so it's MHO that they should have employed them as orchestra pieces: overall, they should have rocked the whole time.

Of course, Steve Morse was an odd substitute for Richie Blackmore, but stalwarts Ian Gillian and Jon Lord was in good form that night. The record doesn't start consistently rocking until WRING THAT NECK at the end of CD 1. (Kind of thinking about it, I would have liked to wring the necks of those who made the decisions to program and preserve this somewhat idiotic concert...ha, just kidding.)

On CD 2, I thought the concerto was pretty well executed (esp. the first movement) and the last couple songs on the album (esp Ted the Mechanic and Smoke on the Water) were well orchestrated and played. I guess I would give this album 4 stars if they only released CD2 and lowered the price.

no it is not true, this band is great.......2002-09-26

the reviewers below dont know what would they say,......this cd is a remake of concerto for group orchestra what the band did in 1969. the place took in the royal albert hall london 1999. I saw the performance in germany 2000 with the george enescu orchestra.
The result is amazing,...buy the cd!

Go Back To MACHINEHEAD!.......2002-09-22

This is NOT Deep Purple nor was the experience I had listening to them in concert (Summer 2002) -Nashville. This is a watered- down version of one of the best bands to ever grace the planet.Dio is a great vocalist and "smoked" them live in Nashville. Steve Morse is a great guitarist but his bluesy rendition of the poweful rhythm guitar parts in Smoke On the Water were a joke! ... your instrumental that was a question mark for the new album was the best thing I heard that night!! ... Dio and the Scorpions were great!

a reviewer from canton massachusetts.......2001-10-29

not worth the money! just because your a fan of steve morse,dosn't mean that your also a fan of d p. here they jumped on the trendy band wagon like yngwie,kansas scorpion,etc.i paid twice the amount as the regular cd for stress fest xtra tracks only to here i xtra song,thatwasn't even written by steve.here,it's almost the same situation.the only true s m .song,is t i o a t p.how many times does he have to re-record this and play it exactly like in 1978.i wish that s m would go back to doing solo work.his music was as interessting as george lynch,satch,vai,etc.i gave this 2 stars because i like steve,but that dosn't necessarilly mean that i like orchestra music,or deep purple.

Jim Lauderdale is among the most creatively expansive of Nashville's commercially bankable songwriters. Ralph Stanley is an ageless bluegrass icon. Put 'em together and you have one of the finest country albums to come out in 1999, not to mention a feather in Lauderdale's cap as a recording artist. Unlike Steve Earle, who put out an excellent bluegrass album (The Mountain with Del McCoury) earlier in '99, North Carolina-born Lauderdale sounds like he grew up singing this stuff. He wrote or cowrote 9 of the 15 tracks, including the gospel-sounding title track and the a cappella "Like Him." When Stanley comes in with his otherworldly high harmonies and ringing banjo, you may feel like singing today as well. --Rick Mitchell

Customer Reviews:

Joy, Joy ,Joy to my Heart.......2006-09-15

An impeccable slice of Bluegrass. Move over,'O Brother' and make room for Lauderdale, Stanley and the Clinch kids. If I need to discriminate, for the sake of the uninitiated, I'd nominate the central part of the disc as my pearl of deep colour, starting with,'Joy, Joy' Joy', the memorable,'Like Him','I Wish Today Could be Tomorrow', and,'Another Sinner's Prayer'. Ralph's part in these songs is hugely responsible for my favouritism; an emotive tool that can make you kneel in gratitude. Lauderdale is a superb songwriter/performer and this set places him squarely on my Bluegrass map.

It's funny the mood one gets into at times. I was thinking about the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou and its' soundtrack. So I am strolling through my local FYE mall record shop and I see this interesting CD cover in the used bin. I layed down my $7.00 and took it home. On the pile of unlistened too CD's it layed for about 2 weeks. Well, I popped it into the kitchen, under counter, SONY CD player and what a pleasent surprise. This Lauderdale/Stanley endeavor is great. The CD gets out of the gate with a great Lauderdale penned tune, title track of the CD, I FEEL LIKE SINGING. This along with the cuts, MAPLE ON THE HILL, ANOTHER SINNERS PRAYER, HIGHWAY THROUGH MY HOME, and WHO WILL SING FOR ME make this a wonderful musical journey. Great song writing by Jim Lauderdale and wonderful Bluegrass by Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys. This CD is a pleasure. Buy it.

Powerful Music.......2004-02-29

Teaming up with the reigning patriarch of bluegrass music Ralph Stanley and his Clinch Mountain Boys isn't a guarantee for success, but Jim Lauderdale makes this pairing an absolute joy from start to finish. Unlike another album that came out the same year using the same formula (Steve Earle's pairing with the Del McCroury Band), Lauderdale wrote (or co-wrote) only about two-thirds of these songs, and will on occasion take a back seat to Stanley, who takes the lead vocal on the a capella "Like Him," one of nine Lauderdale originals.

Lauderdale slips into the bluegrass genre like he was born into it. The opening track, "I Feel Like Singing Today," is another Lauderdale original that begins the album on an upbeat toe-tapping note. Lauderdale's songwriting partner on a couple tracks is none other than Grateful Dead Lyricist Robert Hunter. They penned the rollicking "Joy, Joy, Joy" and "I Will Wait for You."

Lauderdale's originals hold up well along such bluegrass chestnuts as "You'll Find Her Name Written There" and "What About You," perhaps more closely associated with Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs respectively. In addition there are a pair of Carter Stanley gems, "Harbor of Love" and "Who Will Sing for Me."

The album closes on a high note with Ralph Stanley taking the lead vocal on the Lauderdale original "Who Thought the Railroad Wouldn't Last." This is powerful music. In his liner notes Lauderdale says he wants to "celebrate and share" the music of Ralph Stanley. He has succeeded gloriously. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Classic Bluegrass Sound, Great Bluegrass Variety.......2004-02-21

I've always felt that there are two types of bluegrass music. There is the high, lonesome sound filled with dark lyrics that are most appropriate when driving down a dark, windy road among tall, Southern pines. On the other side of the spectrum, there is the joyful, feel-good kind of bluegrass that puts you in the mood to make homemade ice cream on a sunny Sunday afternoon. When Jim Lauderdale teams up with Ralph Stanley, you can set high expectations for a well-written vocal masterpiece that puts you in the mood for making some ice cream and you will not be disappointed. Ralph Stanley, affectionately called Dr. Ralph by his hard core fans, has been making bluegrass music for fifty-five years, but has recently become nationally recognized due to the success of the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack. Jim Lauderdale is a country traditionalist who has penned songs for such stars as George Strait, the Dixie Chicks and Mark Chesnutt.

Jim and Dr. Ralph have recently teamed up on I Feel Like Singing Today, an album recorded on the Rebel Records label. I Feel Like Singing Today is true to it's title. Halfway into the first song, coincidentally the title track, your toe is tapping and you find yourself harmonizing with Dr. Ralph, Jim and the Clinch Mountain Boys. About half of the songs on the album are gospel songs, while the other half of the songs are made up of topics such as love, loss and the highway intruding upon one man's land. Of the gospel songs, the most breathtaking piece is "Like Him." "Like Him" is written by Lauderdale and sounds much like a hymn written a century ago. The harmony is chilling as Lauderdale, Stanley and the band lay down their instruments and bring the listener into a magical world. Stanley's high harmonies complement the low voices of Lauderdale and the Clinch Mountain Boys on this a cappella piece. As the next track, "I Wish That Today Could Be Tomorrow," plays, you once again become aware of your surroundings and are transported from your "Like Him" trance into reality. "I Wish That Today Could Be Tomorrow" is a playful track that describes the impatience of two young lovers waiting on their wedding day. Every track on the album is special and time simply does not allow for an apt description of every great tune. Nine of the 15 tracks are written or co-written by Lauderdale, who seems to move with ease from his regular honky-tonk repertoire to bluegrass. The vocals mingle together as if Dr. Ralph and Jim were made to sing together and the upbeat songs just make for a good time. I Feel Like Singing Today is one of the best albums of recent times and should be in every bluegrass fan's collection.

I feel like singing today........2000-04-09

This is one of the best CDs of last year, bluegrass or any style. Ralph Stanley, as always, is stunning, and Lauderdale proves himself as one of the finest songwriters in the business. "I Feel Like Singing Today" is the kind of song people could be singing 100 years from now. "Like Him" is one of the most beautiful gospel songs I have ever heard recorded. It's hard to believe the song isn't 100 years old. With Steve Earle's "Mountain" and Dolly Parton's "The Grass is Blue" both also coming out last year, my CD player isn't getting much rest. All three CD's are great, but this one is hard to top.

I love this CD. Laurel Masse has a remarkable voice which she uses with great expertise on this collection of beautifully performed and arranged songs. Listening to this collection is a very special experience you won't want to miss.

I collect a great deal of music, and this album is superb. Mixing genuine spiritual intensity with unmatched musicality, this musical experience is beyond compare. There is not a weak moment, and it includes possibly the best recording of "Motherless Child" I've heard. A must have.

Yes -- they still make great albums.......2002-01-19

A Dignified and Welcome Contribution to Spiritual Music!.......2001-10-22

Those of us who adore spiritual albums are very lucky that one of the founding members of the Manhattan Transfer has decided to turn her talents to a cause that interests us so!

In this album, Laurel Masse baptizes an old music hall with her GORGEOUS voice and spiritual impromptu songs that spill right from her beating heart.

Some of my favorite pieces on the album were "Radiant Flame of Gold", a very powerful safety/comfort chant embracing either "Saint Brigit" or "the Goddess, Brigit" depending on your religion. I also enjoyed "The Mountainy Singer" which is just a lively, spirited, catchy tune. And her improvisational pieces are absolutely divine.

I'm very into voices, and this is a STRONGLY voice-centered album, so let me try to describe her voice in case it's helpful to anyone. Her singing style is NOT opera on most pieces. It's a Streisand-like voice, very clear and powerful with only light vibrato. It'll draw you in on the very first song and make you wish you could sing like that!

I'm glad she made this album and I would recommend it to others who like very dignified spiritual music.

An amazing piece of work!.......2001-06-18

This CD is truly amazing. What a gift! Laurel Masse's willingness to expand her musical horizons has brought forth an astoundingly varied and beautiful piece of work. From the opening notes of the Quaker hymn "How Can I Keep From Singing?" to the closing track, "Lone Wild Bird/MacIntosh's Lament," this ia multi-layered, richly hued CD filled with intensity and heart. The range of selections alone defies classification, and the beauty with which she infuses these songs is thrilling. This is not "background music"--like all true art, "Feather and Bone" challenges your senses...and, eventually, opens your heart and mind. Thank you, Laurel, for following your own sacred heart as an artist, and taking your audience along on the journey.
