AI notes: On March 13, 1974, Deep Purple delivered a landmark performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City during their "Burn" tour, showcasing the newly formed Mark III lineup featuring David Coverdale on vocals, Glenn Hughes on bass and vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord on keyboards, and Ian Paice on drums. This concert was significant as it highlighted the band's evolution from their earlier sound, blending hard rock and blues with fresh energy brought by Coverdale and Hughes. The setlist was packed with powerful tracks from their then-new album Burn, including the fiery opener "Burn," the soulful "Mistreated," and the classic anthem "Smoke on the Water," which featured an extended "Lazy" intro that electrified the crowd. Opening acts Savoy Brown and Tucky Buzzard set the stage with their blues-rock flair, complementing Deep Purple’s dynamic performance. The show not only cemented Deep Purple’s reputation as a top-tier live act but also captured a pivotal moment in rock history, with recordings from the concert later released as a limited edition live album, preserving the intensity and spirit of that unforgettable night.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
