"Europe in 1993" is the end of the Ritchie Blackmore era. Introducing a new excavation live album that permanently preserves the scene.

The engraving on this work is "October 6, 1993 Oldenburg performance". It is the best audience recording. Speaking of Ritchie's last tour, various titles such as official works such as "COME HELL OR HIGH WATER" and "LIVE IN EUROPE 1993" and our big series "BATTLE OVER GERMANY 1993" are crowded together. Some people may think "again?", But this work is a new masterpiece that has reached a new dimension even in such a collection. To explain what that means, let's organize the "Europe in 1993" collection by date.

《Ritchie Blackmore withdrawal》
* Note: Only representative works on each day. "A" is the official show, and "B" is the day when the sound board is left. "C" is a live that has already been introduced in the audience recording.

This is the process from the release of "The Battle Rages On Purple" to the withdrawal from Ritchie. The Oldenburg performance of this work was the 11th concert out of 38 performances. Looking at this list, it seems that a lot of items are overflowing, but if you check it carefully, you can see that it is divided into three stages. The collection so far has been three stages, "A: Official Album", "B: Press CD Title = Sound Board", and "C: CDR Title = Audience Recording". However, this law is old. This work is the "permanent preservation press-class audience recording" that was finally born.
