Deep Purple in Concert
Deep Purple in Concert The latter recording features the only known live record-
ing of "Never Before" (it was out as a single at the time)
and a rare Mk II offering of "Maybe I’m a Leo". These two
songs were played instead of the usual "Child in Time"
to promote the new forthcoming album Machine Head, re-
leased at the end of that month (March, 1972).
"Smoke on the Water" (the first ever live perfor-
mance) and "Maybe I’m a Leo" were not included on the
original 2 LP vinyl release in 1980, although "Smoke on
the Water" was made available as a single release. The
vinyl was housed in a gatefold-sleeve with photo-liners.
The track lengths on many of the 2001 reissues are in-
correct.
