Deep Purple – History, Hits And Highlights 1968-1976 DVD – Deep Purple 

Deep Purple are one of the most successful and revered British rock bands of all time. This new two disc set covers the initial phase of the band’s existence through four different line-ups from 1968 to 1976. This era produced the classic Deep Purple albums such as In Rock Fireball Burn and Machine Head that created their legend and still provide the backbone of their live sets today despite the ongoing commercial success of the band post their 1984 reunion. Combining full performances and a small number of archive interviews featuring much rare and previously unreleased live studio and TV footage this superb set is the definitive collection of the early years of Deep Purple.
