"To be honest I was never a fan of the David Coverdale/Glenn Hughes era of Deep Purple back in the day but my blinkered youthful naivety from well over thirty five years ago has been changed by this recent DVD release from ear@MUSIC. The previous line up with Ian Gillan at the vocal helm always ticked the right boxes but the bluesier tones from Coverdale backed by the banshee screams of Hughes never seemed to gel but their headlining set from the California Jam on April 6th 1974 shows that onstage, they were a formidable force to be reckoned with ... A milestone concert of epic proportions".

"It seems to me that the older we get, the more rose tinted our spectacles become in looking back at the days of our youth. Modern day, note perfect, shows may be great, but California Jam is a suitable reminder of what made rock great -organic unpredictability. And Purple were one of its premier exponents - an unstoppable force of nature".
