Live in Paris 1975

Live in Paris 1975 is a live album by British hard rock band Deep Purple, recorded in 1975 at the Palais des Sports, Paris [4] and meant to be released before the 1975 Come Taste the Band album, but was not released until 2001 by Purple Records. See also Made in Europe (1976) and Mk III: The Final Concerts In early 1975, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore recorded his first album with Rainbow and decided to leave Deep Purple. This made the band's show in Paris on April 7, 1975 a historic moment in their long career, marking Blackmore's final appearance with the band (until the band reformed in 1984). The set took in tracks from Burn, Stormbringer and Machine Head/Made in Japan, and featured the band's Mk III line up for the last time ever. It also marked the last time Deep Purple ever played the songs "The Gypsy", "Lady Double Dealer", "Mistreated" and "You Fool No One" live, though Rainbow and Whitesnake have played "Mistreated" in concert, and Whitesnake has played "Lady Double Dealer" on their early concerts.
