Deep Purple San Bernardino Swing Auditorium 1972-01-28 Master AUD reel-to-reel (first time in circulation) mp3 samples

The first part of this evening was Uriah Heep. That portion has already been posted, and may be found here:

As stated in that torrent, and echoed in the comments, Uriah Heep were trying to outplay Deep Purple. Let's just say that Deep Purple tried to strike back. This is a *very* high energy show, with the early 1972 setlist:

Blues Tuneups
Speed King
Strange Kind Of Woman
Child In Time
The Mule (w/drum solo)
Space Truckin'
Mandrake Root Instrumental Portion (cut)

The version of Space Truckin' is pre-"Machine Head" by several months. It's very much shortened and closer to the LP version. Instead of an extended version of that song, we are treated to a jam of the instrumental portion of "Mandrake Root", where Purple succeed in bringing the house down.

Unfortunately the tape cuts at about 17 minutes into the instrumental. After extensive combing through the tapes, I am unable to find any more of this show. It has to be considered lost or untaped. More than likely this jam went into "Lucille", which ended the night.

Enjoy!
