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!
Yeah, the Purple forums are full of gleeful anticipation re that. 8) 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 ;D - 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.
I like McBride better than Morse.
Is little Ian okay? Looks a bit stiff in the vid. Barely touching the skins of the drums
But that Ric sound Roger had on Machine Head, Made In Japan and Who Do We Think We Are was indeed great and the reason why I prefer these albums sonically over In Rock (Fender P) and Fireball (Fender Mustang).
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. 8)
