Deep Purple in Concert is an album by British hard rock band Deep Purple, of two concerts recorded by the BBC for their "In Concert" live series, recorded in 1970 and 1972. First released in 1980 in the UK, with the current US edition being made available in 2001.
The first CD features the live recording from February 19, 1970; the second CD the gig from March 9, 1972. The latter features the only known live recording 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 was played instead of the usual "Child in Time" to promote the new forthcoming album Machine Head, released at the end of the month (March 1972).
"Smoke on the Water" (the first ever live performance) and "Maybe I'm a Leo" were not included on the original 2LP 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 incorrect.
