“PERFECT STRANGERS TOUR” was a honeymoon era that was too short for fans and bands. Why did they get together again and what were they aiming for? A powerful board that conveys it with the finest sound is now available on the Permanent Preservation Press 2CD.
This work is a live album that condenses "the reason why DEEP PURPLE was reunited" into one performance. Its true identity is the best audience recording of "February 19, 1985 Detroit performance". Why is it so decisive? To explain it in detail, let's first imagine the position of the show in the overall picture of the world tour.
[1984]
"October 29," PERFECT STRANGERS "released"
・ November 27-December 18: Oceania (12 performances)
[1985]
・ January 18-April 9: North America # 1 (48 performances) ← ★ Coco ★
・ May 3-16: Hawaii + Japan (8 performances)
・ June 14-July 17: Europe (18 performances)
・ August 14-24: North America # 2 (6 performances)
This is the outline of the tour that made the world aware of the reunion of the "Golden Five". After getting used to their shoulders in Oceania in 1984, they started a full-scale world tour in 1985. The Detroit performance of this work was the 20th performance of "North America # 1" at the beginning. And this "North America # 1" was the heart of the reunion. After all, Ritchie Blackmore couldn't do it even if he continued to adjust to the American strategy with RAINBOW, which was the driving force behind the reorganization of DEEP PURPLE. Therefore, if the North American tour is not successful, there is no point in reuniting. Eventually, "PERFECT STRANGERS" won a platinum disc in the United States, but as a last resort, a passionate performance was unfolded that fulfilled the long-cherished wish.
