Deep Purple - Kilburn, London
[BBC Pop Spectacular 1974]


The fourth in a series of new decodes of live recordings quad encoded for radio broadcast.

By May of 1974, Deep Purple was midway through touring in support of Burn, the first release of the Mark III line-up featuring David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes. The band had made the jump from theatres to arenas in the US, and was playing bigger theatres in Europe. On 22nd May 1974, they were playing the 4,000 capacity Gaumont State Theatre, in Kilburn, London. The show was recorded by the BBC with six songs originally broadcast on 6 June 1974 in SQ quadraphonic sound.

The official releases of this concert as Live in London (some including the seventh and final song of the show, a thirty-plus minute rendition of Space Truckin') are only in stereo, and this conversion comes from a BBC Transcription Service broadcast disc.
