Last night I turned on Sky Arts to see Deep Purple come hell or high water was on. It's a concert/doc from 1993 which was right at the end of the mark II DP.
I've got this on DVD. You can see the friction between the band and Blackmore. Ritchie was gone a few weeks later. I need to watch again.

Sounds like an absolute cock to be fair but I guess the band tolerated him cos of his sheer brilliance. Nowadays he tarnishes the legacy by playing middle aged self indulgent minstrel type shit with his wife. I would have loved to have seen him live but he was long gone when they toured in 06.

I saw it close to when the documentary was released, so over 10 years ago.
An Ibanez? I've seen some very good guitarists playing those.
Yeah, another cool kiwiana story. We planned to be here in Wanaka for a few weeks, so I got my kid into some lessons. His teacher then also hooked him up with 2 older kids for a few evening jam sessions. My lad only has his acoustic with him so one of the older kids lent him his Ibanez plus amp and cords after only knowing him for 30 minutes.
How cool is that?

@MN5 The 1984 Perfect Strangers tour would have been great to see. Too young unfortunately.
Yeah I had that on tape back in the day. They sounded sensational.
Hers a clip from that era, guitar wankery at its finest

Do like this version of this song ....
Certainly in my top 3 favourite songs of all time.
On the 'Brave New World' soundtrack.
Could have been written last week. Or some time in the future. Timeless.

Very interesting reading.
I think my favourite song of theirs ( again completely different to "Owner of a lonely heart" as the article alludes to ) is this one. I love the acoustic break in the middle ( at 3.16 ) and the big finale at the end.
Sure it's indulgent prog rock but fuck it's good stuff. Yet another band I discovered thanks to the old mans record collection.

@Tim Ienjoy following "The Number Ones" I wouldn't have thought Owner of A lonely Heart was Breihan's thing. It certainly isn't mine. Sounds like Starship to my ears.
In the day I was a big Yes fan along with the Likes of Crimson etc. but by the mid 80's I'd largely gone off popular music. I still have all the albums up to Relayer sitting at home. I tried to listen to yessongs a while back. Started off like - hey this is cool why haven't I listened to this for so long. Five minutes later I wanted to rear my ears off.

He’s a contrarian so I’m never surprised by what he does/doesn’t like and I often find some of his ‘reasoning’ for liking/not liking stuff to be pure BS.
It’s a great column though and to whoever on here recommended it - 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
