The Thunderqueen gigs in style!
Yow. Three long sets in one night is a lot. Is that what the cover band scene expects? I can't imagine doing that for decades!
Three hours with no breaks?
It might only be something as banal as changing the width or the length of the strap. And I dare not say it, but TBirds are not the most ergonomic creation on earth, tough it's difficult imagining you of all people playing anything else.
Do consider changing to ballerinas before giving up performing!
They're playing it live already.
Made in Japan 1972 it is not, but for a bunch of geezers born '45 (2x) and '48 (2x) as well as a nascent musician born '79, it ain't bad.
I was impressed with the shorter heels! I'm eyeing retirement from the band scene myself. 4 more years will mark 50 years of gigs. "When I'm, sixty four..."
Those heels 👠 used to be higher, Mark, are we letting up? Is “comfortable wear” all of the sudden a relevant criteria?
That white T-bird is almost as glitzy as the musician! Looks very cool.
Easy!!!
Mk I: Blackmore, Evans, Lord, Simper, Paice
Mk IIa: (minus Evans & Simper), + Gillan & Glover
Mk III: (minus Gillan & Glover), + Coverdale & Hughes
Mk IV: (minus Blackmore), + Bolin —> line-up splits completely
Mk IIb: as Mk IIa (first Mk II reunion)
Mk V: as Mk IIa/b, but minus Gillan and + Turner
Mk IIc: Turner departs, Gillan returns = as Mk IIa/b (second Mk II reunion)
Mk VI: Blackmore departs, Satriani steps in, otherwise as Mk IIa/b/c
Mk VII: Satriani departs, the Morse era begins, otherwise as Mk IIa/b/c
Mk VIII: Lord retires from the road, Airey joins, otherwise as Mk VII
Mk IX: Morse retires ending his era, McBride joins, otherwise as Mk VIII, current line up: Paice (since Mk I),
Gillan & Glover (since Mk II), Airey (since Mk VIII) + McBride (new kid)
Voilà! That's one gnarly Roger Glover sound there ...
Whoever cut and pasted this had an eye for good modern dance choreography.
