This is vol. 3 in a series of DVD archive releases aimed to provide Deep Purple fans with DVDs rounding up as much rare footage from the 1968-1976 era as possible. The vol. 3 Archive DVDs contains a large collection of individual performances from TV around Europe, as well as rounding up some of the longer video segments known to exist plus an introduction to the band's history.

Live in Concert 72/73 and Live in California 74 are vol. 1 and vol. 2 in the archive series.

Despite being released in 2009, much of the widescreen material on the disc is non-anamorphic.
