Total Abandon: Australia '99
Total Abandon: Australia '99 is a double live album and DVD by English hard rock band Deep Purple, recorded at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia on 20 April 1999. When the album was released in September 1999, it was only available in Australia. From 12 October 1999, it was made available as mail-order merchandise in Europe. Later, it was also sold in music stores. In the USA, the album was not released until 2012; this edition was cut to only one disc. The album was accompanied in Australia by two collector edition singles: "Smoke on the Water" with a disc cut into the shape of the Australian continent, and "Black Night", which disc was manufactured in the shape of the DP logo. The VHS/DVD was originally available only in Australia and as mail-order merchandise. It was released in the US on 16 May 2000. It was re-released in Europe in 2003 with an additional documentary, A Band Down Under, which previously had been released only on VHS. The 1999 DVD edition of the album went platinum in Australia becoming Deep Purple's commercially most successful DVD/video release in that country.
