Heavy Music.......2007-04-18

This is definitely one for collectors. Early classic line up before the hits came along. Buy it and have a great time.

Awesome early Mk 2 concert........2007-01-13

First, let's make it clear that yes, this has been released before under the name "Scandinavian Nights." Yes, it's the same material. But this remastered release has much better sound quality and puts the tracks in their proper concert order. It also has extensive liner notes, pictures, ticket stubs, posters, etc.

Now, the music itself. This recording is from the Deep Purple In Rock era. The concert is about two and a half hours total, which is ridiculous for seven songs. Four of the songs are based more on Ian Gillan's vocals (Speed King, Into the Fire, Child in Time, Black Night) and the other three (Paint It Black, Wring that Neck, Mandrake Root) are a lot of good instrumental jamming. Wring that Neck and Mandrake Root are half an hour EACH, and Child in Time is almost twenty minutes.

The best word to describe this concert is INTENSE. Right from the first chord in the Speed King intro, you know you're in for a wild ride, and Deep Purple don't disappoint. Child in Time, Speed King, and Black Night are all longer, louder, and more energetic than the Made in Japan versions, and it's neat to see a live take of Into the Fire. Gillan does a lot more screaming than on MiJ, but he pulls it off very well. Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord tear it up the whole time.

There are several differences between this and Made in Japan. First, and most obviously, this is pre-Machine Head and consequently doesn't have the hits from that album. If you want Smoke on the Water and the like, go get Made in Japan. Second, the tracks are a lot longer than any other live Purple recording. Only two songs (Into the Fire and Black Night, which is the encore) are under ten minutes. Third, this was before the tensions in the band appeared, and so everyone is looser, more energetic, and consequently we have a much more intense show.

If you're new to Purple, get MiJ first. If you're a fan, you owe it to yourself to get this. It surpasses Made in Japan in some ways. Listen to it and you'll hear what I mean.

Rock Jazz.......2006-09-07

This is deep purple (mk2) in concert with the tapes rolling in Sweden late 1970 promoting the IN ROCK album. Just seven songs in about two and a half hours. Amazing stuff! This isn't jazz rock, but ROCK JAZZ, there's a big difference. Deep Purple's music (live & studio) continues to fascinate as well as puzzle after all this time is evidence we are dealing with art of the highest caliber.

This concert has been released before, but the sound quality is better here, than it's ever sounded before. There are so many great live tapes of Deep Purple out there (mainly unavailable on compact disc), but this one is still worth hearing.

this has been released as "scandinavian night 1970" by Conoisseur.......2005-08-05

this has been released in 1995 by Conoisseur as a double cd set "Scandinavian Nights live in Stockholm 1970". the cd signifies the same set like another one. if you bought another one pls keep away your fingers from this one. this is only a re-released from the older one.

Might even be better than Made in Japan.......2005-04-18

Live in Stockholm 1970 is a fantastic CD made a couple of years before Made in Japan. Purple were on all cylinders, improvising and playing like no one's business. Personally, I'd rather hear Mandrake Root or Wring that Neck instead of the Mule or Space Trucking. Black Night is amazing with Ritchie stretching out - could be the best version ever! I'm not going to say that Speed King is better than Highway Star or Into the Fire makes one forget about Smoke on the Water or that this version of Child in Time is better than Made in Japan's, but I just think that once you have heard MIJ a dozen times, this album makes a great alternative. In my opinion, it is the second best live Purple album just barely behind MIJ, but only by a little.

Get this for One O'Clock Jump.......2004-06-07

I had the opportunity of seeing Benny live many times throughout the 70's and 80's. I have to admit I never saw him give a good live performance, I was always disappointed, but remember we're talking about late, late in his career. His bands never seemed to have the punch, the zing, the necessary swing that was ubiquitous of Benny's bands in his heyday. He had gone from being an agonized perfectionist with his musicians, to being forced to take whatever scale-wage musician he could pick up.

However, this two-CD set contains one absolute gem and this is the best-ever Goodman version of

At their jamming best.......2004-10-16

This is a little confusing. This CD was originally released as "Live & Rare". There are other Deep Purple CD's that are also called "Live & Rare". I think the track order listed here is incorrect.

This is Deep Purple out of control, when they were still somewhat of a progressive rock jam band. Child in Time is 20 minutes, Mandrake Root is 29 minutes long and Wring That Neck is 35 minutes. The first CD is just at 60 minutes, while the second CD is 56 minutes.

For the most part, the jams are energetic and entertaining through out. Wring That Neck does kind of drag in the middle, but Mandrake Root rocks throught the whole 29 minutes. The rest of the tracks are also pretty good. The sound quality is good but not perfect.

Note that Deep Purple stole some of the licks from It's A Beautiful Day. The opening of Child In Time is taken from Bombay Calling and Wring That Neck is complete Rip Off of Don and Dewey. I always wondered why those tunes sounded so familiar, until I listened to them side by side and read that Deep Purple and It's A Beautiful Day played together at the Fillmore.
