When I was 14 and 15 this album was the absolute bomb. My favorite live album. Now I'm 60 and I'm afraid the bloom is off the rose. All the songs go on too long except possibly Highway Star and Smoke on the Water. 15 year old me thought Child In Time was a masterpiece, now Ian Paice's vocal wailings just make me cringe. The musicianship is first rate there is no doubt, but I'm just not into wailing guitars and overly long drum solo's and self-indulgent organ wailing solos, though I still think Space Truckin' is great, my favorite song on the album. I think ultimately Spinal Tap ruined this kind of music for me, well at least it now makes me smile wryly. 3.5 stars for the nostalgia factor.
