The 1970 BBC show is conducted by John Peel, and it features just four numbers, but three of them go over the ten-minute marker. The sound quality is awesome, just as befits the BBC - which is an asset considering how so many DP recordings, even live ones, sound so chaotic. The performances are top notch as well; 'Child In Time' doesn't get to be as long as on Scandinavian Nights, and at one point it looks like Gillan actually forgets to clean his throat before soaring on the refrain, so he has to cut out the wail and replace it with another extra 'I wanna hear you sing' exhortation, but it's fun to see him coping pretty well with his own mistakes. Elsewhere, 'Wring That Neck' and 'Mandrake Root' all deliver the usual goods - without having to deliver them for half an hour each.



The second show dates from March 1972, some time before Machine Head was actually released, which is why, if you're willing to compare, you'll see there's a bit more restraint exercised when they play all those "new" songs, just because they hadn't yet performed enough of them to be able not to make any mistakes in their sleep. Like, for instance, Blackmore doesn't do the "audience-teasing" with the 'Smoke On The Water' riff, and he's also not quite daring yet to unleash the full force of his crazy arpeggios on the 'Highway Star' solo. However, if you're afraid that makes the songs any less powerful, don't be - they pack just as much energy and bombast as the Made In Japan versions, they're just a bit more "calculated" than on that one. There is a twenty-minute "Space Truckin'" extravaganza (and when you're actually having this particular live album it's much easier to see how they just extracted the jam part from 'Mandrake Root' and transferred it onto "Space Truckin'" - which, if you ask me, makes a lot of sense because you can really picture that speedy jam as an actual soundtrack to your space voyage), and they close with their trademark heavy metal rearrangement of 'Lucille'.
