Deep Purple - the name alone will set many people's hearts racing, because these rockers shaped many a young man in the wild seventies. Tommy Bolin, David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Jon Lord and Ian Paice played in this line-up until 1976, before their paths parted for a time and they reunited with Ian Gillan as lead singer in 1984. At that time, Bolin, Coverdale, Hughes, Lord and Paice played a concert at Japan's Budokan Hall on 15 December 1975 - one of the last concerts of this legendary line-up. Deep Purple - the name alone makes many hearts race, as these rockers shaped many a young man in the wild seventies. By 1976, this line-up consisted of Tommy Bolin, David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Jon Lord and Ian Paice before the band members' paths diverged for a time, reuniting in 1984 with Ian Gillan as lead singer. It was during this time that Bolin, Coverdale, Hughes, Lord and Paice played a concert at Japan's Budokan Hall on 15 December 1975 - one of the last concerts of this legendary line-up. Tony Klinger, the director of the show, shot the entire concert from Tokyo on 16mm film and edited the footage, which was originally intended to be used for promotion and as an introduction to new member Tommy Bolin.

A particular highlight of "Phoenix Rising", however, is a one-and-a-half-hour documentary that contains previously unseen footage. You'll see behind-the-scenes footage, rare concert moments from Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia, as well as the infamous concert in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a tragic accident killed one of the crew. The documentary is supplemented by old footage of interviews with Bolin, Coverdale and Paice, which generally reflect the wild life of the rockers. Also mentioned is the early tragic death of guitarist Tommy Bolin and Hughes and Bolin's serious drug problems. This unique documentary shows how the excessive drug use and the differing musical ideas of each band member led to the breakup of Deep Purple in 1976. It was overshadowed that year by the death of guitarist Tommy Bolin, who died in December 1976 after a bout of weakness - the result of a heroin overdose and excessive alcohol consumption - with
