This tour served as promotion following the release of the studio album *The House of Blue Light*. It marked the final tour for the \"Mark V\" lineup, as vocalist Ian Gillan would leave the band after this run of shows. Although this era is often viewed critically due to the well-known friction between Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Gillan, the performance on this release is exceptional and powerful. Both Ian and Ritchie are in fine form, delivering a superb show that truly embodies the classic Deep Purple sound. The recording vividly captures the raw energy of the live event, including a realistic capture of Ritchie's guitar-smashing finale during \"Space Truckin'.\" As a bonus track, the release includes eight songs from the concert at Knebworth, UK—performed shortly after the band reunited with its Mark II lineup—recorded via soundboard (SBD). Thanks to the use of an SBD source, the audio quality is consistently high, allowing for an enjoyable listening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PHOENIX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67706006733099,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0846\/6475\/files\/1_bae77f49-0e08-43b8-9215-68c40b680d8a.jpg?v=1791678025","url":"https:\/\/wmlshopjapan.com\/it\/products\/deep-purple-the-house-of-blue-light-european-tour-1988-sporthalle-2cdr","provider":"WML Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
