Deep Purple ‎– Live in Newcastle 2001

earMUSIC and Deep Purple have worked on a Limited Edition Series, made of very rare live recordings from the band's archive. 20,000 numbered CDs and 2,000 numbered Red LPs will be available worldwide for each release, until sold out. The series will concentrate on the last three decades of concerts around the world, starting with an explosive show in Newcastle, Australia recorded in 2001. Some of the shows have been previously available as very rare fan club editions, others will be released for the very first time. All recordings are being remastered for the best audio quality possible. About the first chapter of the series Roger Glover commented: “After touring Australia in the early 70s, we returned in 1999 with Steve Morse on guitar. Australia had given us a great welcome back and for this night in 2001, we felt like doing something different, so we added singers and a horn section. A rare night and a special gig.”

The Soundboard Series is a live box set recorded and released by the band Deep Purple in 2001. This 12 CD set includes 6 full length concerts from the March 2001 Deep Purple Australasian tour, recorded directly from the soundboard in either DAT or multi track formats…
