Yeah that didn't play it live too often, but I agree that's a killer version, although I think I still prefer the studio take.
Yousha and Negative Creep you might be surprised how often you would find Fireball in the itunes charts for different countries around the world .... actually for the 50 countries that have a Top 100 itunes chart for rock songs, albums and music videos ... you will generally find Purple in most of those charts in each country at any given time ..... along with Zeppelin, Floyd, Queen, the Beatles and the Stones. Those are the big ones for classic rock bands around the world .... and Rainbow shows up quite often as well ... Take care
For example one country from Europe - Czech Republic
