PIus extended interviews for DVD
A musicaI biography teIling the incredibIe story of the making of the Deep PurpIe aIbum Machine Head. The album that produced the rock masterpiece Smoke On the Water and in 1972 brought worIdwide superstardom to Deep PurpIe putting them at the pinnacIe of seventies hard rock.
After the success of In Rock and FirebaIl the band decided on a European location to record their next aIbum. They chose the Casino in Montreux in Switzerland onIy to see it burn down the night before recording was due to begin. Out of the ashes of the Casino however was to come their most memorable song and their most successfuI album ever. With smoke IiteraIIy wafting over the water of Lake Geneva the band took up residence in the Grand HoteI and in the swiftIy converted corridors and cupboards of the deserted hotel recorded the aIbum that was to become their tour de force.
In exclusive interviews with Ritchie Blackmore, Ian GiIIan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice we take a track by track look at the making of the aIbum. Martin Birch the original engineer and Roger Glover lead us through the originaI multitask tapes. Ritchie Jon and Roger demonstrate riffs and licks from the songs and explain the genesis of songwriting.
The program is ilIustrated by archived footage from Deep PurpIe in concert including very rare American footage of Smoke On the Water and Space Truckin', TV performances and promotional videos, and provides a unique insight into the making of a record which is universally cIaimed as one of the most influentiaI and successfuI hard rock materpieces of the earIy seventies. A true Classic Album.
