Deep Purple: Jakarta On My Mind (1975)
http://youtu.be/3jRPhEWaSYk
Deep Purple
Jakarta On My Mind [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Senyan Sports Stadium, Jakarta, Indonesia, December 4, 1975.
By the time Deep Purple released Burn and Stormbringer (both 1974), Ian
Gillan and Roger Glover had already left the band but some fans still
considered Burn to be a worthy successor to the earlier albums. But in
April 1975, Richie Blackmore too decided to move, leaving Jon Lord
(organ, piano) and Ian Paice (drums) from the classic line up. If
Blackmore wanted out, vocalist David Coverdale managed to get guitarist Tommy
Bolin into the group and Come Taste The Band was released in November 1975.
Deep Purple played two dates in Jakarta in December 1975 promoting Come
Taste The Band. For the Mat Rockers there, it probably did not matter
who was in the line up, it's Deep Purple all the same.
But the Indonesian trip was marred by tragedy, as reported in the
article, Indonesian Nightmare Strikes Deep Purple, by Peter Crescenti
for Rolling Stone
magazine (January 29, 1976), Crescenti wrote: "Tragedy and mayhem
struck the Deep Purple tour December 4 in Jakarta, Indonesia, when one
of the group’s road crew, Patsy Collins, a well-loved celebrity of the
British rock scene and guitariest Tommy Bolin’s bodyguard, was killed in
a six-story fall down a service elevator shaft at the band’s hotel.
Then at a Deep Purple concert the following night, Indonesian police
armed with machine guns, truncheons and a pack of Doberman pinschers
waded into the audience, seriously injuring over 200 people.
"Deep Purple played to an estimated 150,000 Indonesians in two shows at
the outdoor Senyan Sports Staduim as part of their first tour since
adding Bolin to the band. The first concert, which saw about 20,000
people break down fences to join 35,000 ticket holders, was relatively
free of police reaction. 'They let everybody be,' keyboard player Jon
Lord said. 'There were machine-gun guards all over the place and they
were pushing kids around, but there seemed to be no organized police
thing.'
"Back at the group’s hotel after the opening concert, Collins got into
an argument with two other member of the road crew and left their room
to go upstairs to his own. The elevators in the hotel were operating
slowly, so the impatient Collins decided to walk up the fire escape
stairs to the next floor, only to find the door on the next landing
locked. Then, inside the stairwell on the sixth floor he found an
unmarked, unlocked door. He opened it and hastily stepped in, plunging
three-floors down the service elevator shaft, crashing through some hot
water pipes… Hospitalized, he died early the next morning from internal
injuries and burns.
"Surprisingly, the Jakarta police arrested the two crew members Collins
had argued with and, later, the band’s manager, Rob Cooksey. The three
were held on suspicion of murder and isolated from the jail’s other
prisoners for two days, said Cooksey, 'with a kind of threat hangin'
over us. All the time we were under suspicion of murder, they were
making us sign autographs and things. You just wouldn’t believe the
mentality.'
"The night following the accident, with three of their entourage in
jail, Deep Purple played their second show. About 6,000 armed and
helmeted policemen, backed by dogs, circulated throughout the stadium.
Before the concert began, an announcement warned any Europeans in the
audience to congregate near the side of the auditorium.
"No sooner did the music begin, getting the rock-starved Indonesians to
their feet dancing, then police waded into the crowd, savagely butting,
clubbing, punching and kicking the boogieing audience. Then the
Dobermans were let loose, joining the attack. Deep Purple keyboardist
Jon Lord later said, 'Every time an effort to get up and boogie was made
by any section, it was immediately pounded on.' He also recalled seeing
one mammoth dog dragging a kid across the floor by his arm, its teeth
sinking into the boy’s flesh.
"The band played only half a set and left the stage frightened and
sickened. 'They went crazy,' said Cooksey of the Indonesian police. 'It
was like maneuvers for them. Just a nightmare'."
To be honest, this mono audience recording from the first night is
rather raw. Some might even call it muddy and it sounds as if the taper
is standing somewhere towards the back. While the vocals, guitars and
organ are fairly prominent, the drums are buried in the back and,
overall, it's closer to a wall of sound with no distinctive soundstage.
The band cannot be said to be at its best (there is a workmanlike feel
to the performance until the end when the members let loose a little)
though the band did try to be friendly by sprinkling in a couple of "Apa
khabar?" (How are you?) and "Terima kasih" (thank you). Only Jon Lord,
with his extended solos, seemed to be having fun. The set is built
around the key songs from Come Taste The Band and if an old chestnut
such as Georgia On My Mind is a throwback to the band's blues roots,
fans would have preferred the more recognisable hits. Guess Smoke On The
Water must have been hard (for this line up) to live up to and Soldier
Of Fortune, Lazy and Burn are poor consolations, to say the least.
But given the events that would happen later that night and the next
day, this recording becomes a historical document to an unhappy and
tragic tour that not many younger fans of the band know about.

Yup, biar gemanapun purple ini sebagai gerombolan musisi usianya cukup
panjang lahir setelah G30S, dan masih tetep eksis sampai tahun 2000an adalah
hal yang luar biasa untuk sebuah band. Dalam rentang waktu yang panjang tentu
banyak asam garam yang telah dilaluinya. Layaknya remaja ABG, yamg seneng coba
coba, purplepun gonta ganti pasangan. untuk posisi vokalis sebut saja Rod evan,
Ian Gallan, coverdale, untuk gitar ada Turner, ada Blackmore namun yang tetep
setia dengan purple sejak lahir sampai usia renta adalah John Lord the
keyboardman dan Ian paice sebagai drum gebuger (penggebug drum). Tidak heran
banyak orang yang menyebut tulang punggung purple si Lord ini. Namun kejeniusan
Blackmore tidak boleh diabaikan sebab justru ketika si black bergabung dengan
Deep purple, band ini baru memperoleh ke-purple-annya, sayang si black ini
tidak setia dia type orang penyelingkuh, hasil perselingkuhanya itulah rainbow.
Meskipun ciri dan gaya si black dalam
bermelodi masih tetep sama, yaitu garing dan renyah,namun cita rasa
keseluruhan tidaklah sama seperti ketika ngeband bareng dengan purple
