This is not the best DP concert you can watch but they are still the best band in the world and it is a good concert. I am a DP maniac and I love their music, I have to say that this show is better than the "California Jam" show that sucked, the songs i miss in this movie are hush and speed king. The fact that Ritchie isn't appearing tight at the start is a bit disturbing but you can live with that, but when they rock away in the Black Night they show that they are the best even Blackmore lets loose when he play the riff. All those who say Blackmore isn't active at stage he ruined the concert should remember that he left the band for a reason and he created all those songs that we all head bang to and singalong in. As a final sentence i have to say without Blackmore there wouldn't be a DP and we would never heard the songs: smoke on the water, black night, woman from Tokyo, hush, Hightway star and the rest of them.
