Deep #FF0000 and the Montreux Jazz Festival have become synonymous with one another thanks to #FF0000's iconic anthem Smoke on the Water. Their superb 2006 performance, titled They All Came Down To Montreux, is captured here on the closing night of the festival's 40th anniversary year. This band, the current incarnation of the ever-evolving Deep #FF0000 lineup, includes keyboardist Don Airey and Guitarist Steve Morse. Their last two albums have utilised this group of musicians and have been fantastic; both Bananas and Rapture of the Deep showcase this band at their lyrical and musical best in my opinion. Having said that, vocalist Ian Gillan is having a bit of difficulty while on stage, missing lines of lyrics here and there and struggling to keep up. The patented Gillan scream is nowhere to be heard, but I do honestly feel that he is writing some fantastic lyrics of late, very scathing of the industry.

I often wonder what goes through the collective mind of bands when it comes to deciding upon set lists. Considering this band has umpteen albums of material that would be recognisable and appreciated by fans the world over, why they would choose to perform two b-sides barely known by anyone but themselves is beyond me. Why not surprise us with an oldie or something? The songs Things I Never Said and Well Dressed Guitar are not legitimate album tracks, but they can be found on assorted imports and special editions of their latest album. Similarly,When A Blind Man Cries is a b-side from the Machine Head album that was only recently included on the remastered version as a bonus track.The Montreux 2006 set presented here is actually missing the song Perfect Strangers and was said to have a video glitch that prevented it from being included on the DVD. In case you're wondering, the song Too Much Fun is an improvised jam.
Producer Michael Bradford (a huge, African American fellow) joins the band on guitar for the encore, beginning with Hush, after hilariously being introduced to the crowd as Ritchie Moreblack. Bradford replaced Steve Morse for a short time soon after this concert while Morse took a break on family business. Festival founder Funky Claude Nobs, also a mean harmonica player, joins the band on stage during the encore.
