I here present to you the only known exsisting and available footage of the song 'Call Of The Wild' performed LIVE, by Deep Purple.
What makes this one extra special, is that it's the last time they played this song Live ever. It was however only performed 6-7 times on the earliest shows of the 'House Of Blue Light' Tour in 1987.
This one stands out for another reason, the band perform it without Ritchie. Even though it's a synth-oriented song. This was the first of two encores the band did at the Johanneshov Isstadion in Stockholm, Sweden, on the 27th of February 1987. For some reason, Ritchie refused to do the encores, either because he had a bad day, or the audience didn't "deserve" encores from his point of view. The rest of the band however decided to play the encores, even if it was without Ritchie. They did 'Call Of The Wild', which you can enjoy here, and 'Smoke On The Water', which you can see a snippet of, at the end of this clip. Unfortunatly the one who filmed this show, ran out of video, so only a snippet exsist of 'Smoke On The Water' without Ritchie.
The date/venue for this gig is the 27th of February 1987, Johanneshov Isstadion, Stockholm, Sweden.
The tour this footage is from, is the 'House Of Blue Light' Tour, in support of the album, by the same name.
The 'House Of Blue Light' Tour is the ONLY 1984--present tour, where NO pro-shot footage has surfaced, so enjoy this clip, even though it's not the best footage and audio. It is however still a very rare video, of a song played Live only a handful of times during 1987, and Deep Purple perform it, without Ritchie, which makes it a bit special.
Note that any anti-Ian Gillan or Steve Morse comments will be deleted immediatly, so don't bother. I'm a big fan of Ritchie, and he will always be THE guitarist in Deep Purple, but I do love all eras of Deep Purple 1968-present, so I enjoy material without Ritchie as well, and I think Steve Morse, Joe Satriani and the late Tommy Bolin are all brilliant guitarist that were/is right for Deep Purple, but nothing can top the MK.II stuff, and Ritchie's uniqe sound.
In my eyes...any Deep Purple is better than no Deep Purple.
Enjoy!
