Most believe it is from the same microphones as the official source was but split and sent to an alternate reel to reel recording device, video evidence does not support additional microphones being present. As the number of downloads increased there were theories as to what this recording actually is. Well this peaked my interested and certainly many others. I figured it was necessary since Keith Emerson’s band would follow. I remember Jon Lord’s playing on Space Truckin’ being extraordinarily good. The ELP set has been released with liner notes from Alan of Cal Jam’s web site. Hopefully, the other three sets can be found. This is the last tape I can find from this event.

This is NOT from the TV Broadcast or from a soundboard that the band may possess. This is a First Generation copy of a Reel to Reel Soundboard recorded with microphones placed at the stage amps.
Here is the information from the Deep Purple recording: Two years later the complete performance became available on video as Live In California 1974 from EMI? What could be better? Both video and audio in excellent quality.Įarlier this year three recordings appeared on a couple of well known trackers of Rare Earth, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple’s performance at the California Jam. Since the performance was not multi tracked, the mix could not be dealt with but the better sound quality showcased the power of the band.

In 2003 Deep Purple’s bootleg series issued Just Might Take Your Life on their Sonic Zoom label, boasting improved sound taken from the 2″ master tape, and for the first time included the missing track Might Just Take Your Life. These early releases were not the complete show as Might Just Take Your Life was missing. This title was also issued by EMI as California Jamming. The audio for this title, while being a soundboard, was taken from the video tape and to my ears suffered from Blackmore’s guitar being somewhat low in the mix. My first taste of Deep Purple’s famous performance at the first California Jam in spring 1974 was on the Live At The California Jam title from Mausoleum Classix Records.
