Background

This concert was originally recorded at the Konserthuset on 12 November 1970, by Sveriges Radio, (Swedish National Radio), and first broadcast part of it on the 14th, on a live concert radio show called "Midnight Hour" with the remaining tracks broadcasted in 1982.

A Bootleg of the full show called "Alive Tribute To Wally" appeared in the mid 80´s.

The tapes were re-mixed by Tom Leader at Angel Recording Studios in London, and officially released in October 1988, under the title of "Scandinavian Nights" in Europe. It remains the prime example of the early Mk II set. Songs from the then-current album Deep Purple in Rock together with long instrumental sections. In the US, the double CD, released in 1992, was titled "Live and Rare".

The original master tapes were later discovered and remixed for a re-release as "Live in Stockholm" by Purple Records in 2005, with improved sound quality. This release is the most complete version of the concert. MC Introduction and all the interludes between the different songs are complete and the tracks appear in the right order as played on the night.

A new edition of the album, titled "Stockholm 1970", was released in 2014 by EDEL as part of "The Official Deep Purple (Overseas) Live Series" with additional material: two songs recorded for "Pop Deux" in Paris in 1970, a contemporary Jon Lord interview; and a bonus DVD with Deep Purple's performance, "Doing Their Thing", at Granada TV in 1970, previously released on VHS.
