As a first reaction, this caused some frowns among some critics and fans, soon to be replaced with great astonishment for this highly talented guitarist. And Bolin indeed did revitalize the band, for a short period before drug abuse caused the band's split and his tragic death soon after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe complete MKIV lineup features, of course, John Lord and Ian Paice, vocalist David Coverdale, guitarist Tommy Bolin and bassist Glenn Hughes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong Beach 1976 is part of earMUSIC's Deep Purple \/ DPO reissue series that has seen the release of rare live material from the band, including Copenhagen 1972, Stockholm 1970, Paris 1975, Graz 1975 and Long Beach 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong Beach 1976 features one of the very rare shows where the MK IV lineup (Bolin - Coverdale - Hughes - Lord - Paice) performance was recorded live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe show was originally recorded at Long Beach Arena, California on February 27th for radio broadcast on The King Biscuit Flower Hour, an American syndicated radio show that featured concert performances by various rock artists, such as The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen, among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree additional live tracks from another concert of the same tour have been added to the tracklist (Springfield, January 1976).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this formation, Deep Purple recorded only one album, Come Taste the Band, featuring Tommy Bolin's great songwriting talent on most songs, and it was this album that was promoted through the tour. Although this twelfth Deep Purple album never gained the same commercial success as their earlier releases like Machine Head or Made in Japan, Come Taste the Band features a musically matured Deep Purple and some of the best material Deep Purple ever wrote and recorded, and it is to this day considered a \"must have\" album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter internal difficulties (mainly due to Bolin's drug addiction) Deep Purple decided to split up in July of the same year, seeing the members spread out to do several solo projects. Tragically, Tommy Bolin died only a couple months later from a heroin overdose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong Beach 1976 is a real jewel in a fan's collection, featuring a very quirky \"Smoke on the Water\" that morphs into a truly great rendition of \"Georgia on My Mind\" (Carmichael\/Gorrell), rare tracks from their album Come Taste the Band and even a song from Bolin's solo album Teaser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Official Deep Purple (Overseas) Live Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBonus Live Tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDEEP PURPLE \/ LONG BEACH 1976\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Burn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lady Luck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gettin' Tighter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Smoke on the Water \/ Georgia on My Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lazy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Homeward Strut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This Time Around\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Owed to G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Guitar Solo Tommy Bolin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stormbringer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Highway Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Smoke on the Water \/ Georgia on My Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Going Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Highway Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e  ","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53094415139152,"sku":"4.03E+12","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/2762\/2480\/files\/4174808-2947982.jpg?v=1780363332","url":"https:\/\/noirrecordsuk.com\/products\/deep-purple-deep-purple-long-beach-1976-white-3lp","provider":"Noir Records Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
