Total Abandon

Limited yellow and green colored vinyl LP pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve. Total Abandon was recorded in April 1999 in Melbourne while the mighty Deep Purple was touring Australia. With the Mk VII power line-up consisting of Ian Gillan (vocals), Roger Glover (bass), Ian Paice (drums), Jon Lord (keyboard) and Steve Morse (guitar) the band hit the stage in top form. Besides classics such as "Perfect Strangers," "Highway Star" and "Smoke On The Water," the performance features songs from Deep Purple's first few albums with Morse. Gillan is in fine voice while Morse and Lord offer up sensational solos throughout. The 12-track collection showcases the band's unique musicianship in the live setting and reinforces once more why Deep Purple truly belongs in the canon of the masters of rock.
