Deep Purple - Long Beach 1976 (White Vinyl) - 3LP

On February 27, 1976, Deep Purple played a legendary concert at the Long Beach Arena in California. With "Long Beach 1976" there is now the mastered version of the live recording, on two CDs and three LPs respectively.

Already in 1995 the performance had been released for the first time under the title "King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents: Deep Purple in Concert". in 2009, a new version of the live album followed under the title "Live at Long Beach 1976".

To be heard on "Long Beach 1976" is the so-called Mark IV line-up of Deep Purple, consisting of singer David Coverdale, guitarist and singer Tommy Bolin, keyboardist Jon Lord, bassist and singer Glenn Hughes and drummer Ian Paice. This line-up, without Ritchie Blackmore for the first time, lasted only from 1975 to 1976 and produced only one studio album.

Together, Deep Purple played some of their biggest hits to date that night, including "Smoke On The Water" and "Highway Star".

In addition to the Long Beach performance, "Long Beach 1976" contains four bonus tracks. These are also live recordings from a Deep Purple concert in Springfield in January 1976.

A concert with high rarity value. With "Long Beach 1976" the legendary live album of Deep Purple in the Mark IV line-up has now been reissued.
