Deep Purple – 1993.10.19 – Le Zenith, Paris, France [SBD]

Deep Purple is an English rock band Deep Purple 93 Frontformed in 1968 in Hertford, England.  The band saw several lineup changes in the years before their eight year hiatus  from 1976-1984.  These lineups during the years 1968-1976 are commonly referred to as Mark I, II, III and IV.  Deep Purple were ranked 22nd on VH1’s Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.  They have been nominated in October 2012, and then again in October 2013 for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but weren’t voted in.  Deep Purple, along with Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as “The unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the Deep Purple 93 Backearly to mid-seventies”.  Their Mark II lineup was by far the most successful of their lineups.  This configuration was comprised of Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Ian Gillan (vocals), Jon Lord (organ), Roger Glover (bass), and Ian Paice (drums).  This concert is that lineup, several years after they reunited in 1985.  This membership has been the most stable in the band’s history, and after Jon Lord’s retirement in 2002, left Ian Paice as the band’s only original member.  Lord unfortunately passed away in July 2012 due to pancreatic cancer and a pulmonary embolism.

Pink Floyd were founded in 1965 by students Syd Barrett on guitar and lead vocals, Nick Mason on drums, Roger Waters on bass and vocals, and Richard Wright on keyboards and vocals. They gained popularity performing in London’s underground music scene during the late 1960s, and under Barrett’s leadership released two charting singles and a successful debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour joined in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the band’s Pink Floyd 94 Back Coverprimary lyricist and conceptual leader, devising the concepts behind their albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979) and The Final Cut (1983). The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall became two of the best-selling albums of all time. Following creative tensions, Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, followed by Waters in 1985. Gilmour and Mason continued as Pink Floyd; Wright rejoined them as a session musician and, later, a band member. The three produced two more albums: A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994), and toured through 1994. This great quality bootleg catches them in the midst of The Division Bell US tour in 1994.

The Who – 1973-12-04 – The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA [SBD]

The Who are an English rock band that formed in 1964. Their classic line-up consisted of lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist and singer Pete Townshend, The Who 73 Front Coverbass guitarist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, selling over 100 million records worldwide and holding a reputation for their live shows and studio work. The Who developed from an earlier group, The Detours, and established themselves as part of the pop art and mod movements, featuring auto-destructive art by destroying guitars and drums on stage. Their first single as the Who, “I Can’t Explain“, reached the UK top ten, followed by a string of singles including “My Generation“, “Substitute” and “Happy Jack“. In 1967, they performed at the Monterey Pop Festival and released the US top ten single “I Can See for Miles“, while touring extensively. The group’The Who 73 Back Covers fourth album, 1969’s rock opera Tommy, included the single “Pinball Wizard” and was a critical and commercial success. Live appearances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival, along with the live album Live at Leeds, cemented their reputation as a respected rock act. With their success came increased pressure on lead songwriter and visionary Townshend, and the follow-up to Tommy, Lifehouse, was abandoned. Songs from the project made up 1971’s Who’s Next, which included the hit “Won’t Get Fooled Again“. The group released the album Quadrophenia in 1973 as a celebration of their mod roots.  This is where we catch The Who, at The Spectrum, in Philadelphia, in a great soundboard bootleg.
