Recently I bought "Scandinavian Nights' video at last and I'm so very glad I did it, since I've been a Deep Purple fan for quite a long now. This show was recorded on March 1, 1972 in Copenhagen and is probably the only existing recorded full-MkII-concert. This is definitely a quintesence of a rock'n'roll spirit. All musicians are at their best. Gillan singing `Child in Time' so beautifuly and Paicey thundering around in `The Mule'. Ritchie also does some magic and gives a great Hendrix-like performance at the end of `Space Truckin'. The true dynamite to me is `Lucille', but I never could resist this song, especially the Purple version. The set: 1)Highway Star 2)Strange Kind of Woman 3)Child in Time 4)The Mule 5)Lazy 6)Space Truckin' 7)Fireball 8)Lucille 9)Black Night. The video is 100 minutes long and is really well recorded by Danmarks Radio. The picture is black and white but very clear. A definite must for all Deep Purple fans. Thanks to Simon Robinson and Connoisseur Collection for releasing `Scandinavian Nights'!
