Description

2014, On April 3, 1975 the Mk III line-up of Purple played a concert at the Liebenauer ice rink, located on the outskirts of mountaincradled Graz, Austria's second largest city after Vienna. Enthused by Purple's arrival in town, the local press dubbed the concert ´das Rockereignis des Jahres (the rock event of the year)`. And it was - in more ways than one. After Graz, Purple would play just two more shows - in Saarbrücken, Germany and Paris, France - before a disenchanted and disgruntled Blackmore left to form his new band, Rainbow. In order to preserve Blackmore's final run of Mk III concerts for posterity, Purple's managers had brought the Rolling Stones mobile recording studio over to mainland Europe. It was a difficult time for the band which would seem to indicate that Purple's Graz performance was a duffer. A dull, flaccid affair with the band going through the motions and a sense of total disconnect between the five members. Graz 1975 is absolutely electrifying.
