This is the definitive independent critical review of Deep Purple from the halcyon days of the Mark II Gillian / Glover / Blackmore / Lord Paice line up through to the final Mark IV line up with David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes and Tommy Bolin...

We cover the dramatic departure of Gillan and Blackmore, the bickering and the in-fighting between the members of the band and the long term effects this had on Deep Purple and the music.

Featuring rare archive material, much of it appearing on DVD for the first time, along with incisive commentary from a leading team of music critics and working musicians.

The DVD features highlights from: Concerto For Group And Orchestra, Mandrake Root, Speed King, Child In Time, Fireball, Highway Star, Lazy, Smoke On The Water, Woman From Tokyo, Burn and many more.
