The guy on the right looks like young you, Uwe!

All roads lead Deep Purple to you!

That is Little Simon from Belfast, a spring chicken born 1979!

He used to like Joe Satriani a lot ...

When did Deep Purple turn into old women?

"Go on Paicey, give them the Fireball intro again!"

Alan, have you heard of the concept of
capital crimes and their prescribed
punishment?!!!

Looks like Gillan has a lot more hair than he had when I met him 8 years ago. Plugs, maybe?

uwe · April 28, 2024, 03:28:35 PM

Naw, he has a prominent bald spot on the back of his pate, but changes frequently between wearing his hair short or long. Gillan isn't the type to work with hair enhancement. That was his former guitarist!

Voilà! That's one gnarly Roger Glover sound there ...

The keys are way up there too, good song!

There is a new link to the song, the old one went down apparently:

New link is not available either.

Listening to Portable Door now. I think they're going to be blowing away their opening act this summer - Steve Howe's "Yes".

uwe · April 30, 2024, 09:21:39 AM

Yeah, the Purple forums are full of gleeful anticipation re that.

I find it a bit childish, I wouldn't mind seeing Yes (with whatever remnant members they have) at a Purple gig and I don't question Howe's legitimacy of continuing with the name. So many 70ies bands are by now down to one original member (Uriah Heep and Status Quo for instance, Purple too, if you see Mk I as the original DP, but most people only start counting Mk II as real DP of which there are still three members in the current - wait for it

- Mk IX line-up).

I don't mind these "elephant pairings" that DP does mostly on their North American tours to get butts on seats. They've done it in the past with Lynyrd Skynyrd (that combination even made it to Europe), the Scorpions and Judas Priest (what a dream combo for me!). I'd take a look at modern day Yes just to see what they are like now, that Glasshammer guy isn't a bad singer. I've seen Yes without Anderson before (with David Benoit) and I've seen Anderson with Rabin and Wakeman, both gigs were fine. Both Squire and Wakeman were in their respective own way limelight-grabbing charismasaurs 🦕🦖 on stage, highly entertaining.

For Alan: Old Women In Rock!

Geez, I finally had to go look at which "Mk" of Deep Purple it was that I saw back in '75 - Mk. III, with Glenn Hughes. I wanted to see Glover with his big floppy hat and Rickenbacker!
