California Jam is a live album by British hard rock Deep Purple, recorded in 1974 and originally released in 1996, it was re-released as a remastered edition in 2003 with the bonus track "Lay Down, Stay down".
The album is a live recording of Deep Purple's infamous appearance at the California Jam Festival on April 6th 1974, which was televised by ABC-TV in prime time. At the end of the show, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore first attacked one of the network's video cameras (which had been getting between him and the audience) with his guitar, and then had his amplifiers doused with gasoline and set on fire, which caused an explosion. The final five minutes of the performance can be seen here.
Releases
Deep Purple's performance at the California Jam has been available over the years in several different releases with various names, among them: "California Jamming", "Live at the Ontario Speedway '74", "Live at the California Jam" and finally "California Jam 1974" (not counting successive re-releases, mostly Japanese). While all of theses releases are culled from the same performance, most of them don't feature the full show, with edits and most importantly, missing a full song: "Lay Down, Stay Down."
While the successive re-releases have attempted to improve the sound quality (which was poor on the earliest ones), the show itself suffered from technical failures, making it impossible to fully correct them, a fact most notably evident during opening number "Burn", where the guitar is barely audible and then gradually gains volume.
