This was pretty bad. The narration communicated very little in the time, and their access to the top session musicians of the era produced nothing - they gave them sound bites at best. Hyper-editing of musical geniuses, with multiple grammy awards, to get "Steely Dan were good."
British TV is so fucking bad now.

Bath time music, candles on.... And relax!

Saw the Modern Maori Quartet last night. Not a long show but entertaining.

Can I suggest that all ferners have a listen to this brilliant album.
A great soundtrack to accompany anything in life.....working out, doing the dishes, drinking, fornicating, doing the lawns, paperwork, sitting through uninvited guests, driving......as Pharrell says....."Scuse me I'm talking to you !!!"

@MN5 to be fair, most people would battle to name another Deep Purple song (I personally love Highway Star, but that's hardly an obscure choice)
I certainly don't agree with that, "Black Night" "Women from Tokyo" "Speed King" "Hush" "Space Truckin"......every one a staple on rock radio.
Definitely not in the Led Zep stratosphere but they were a fucken massive group.
Richies guitar work in "Highway Star" is absolutely exceptional.
Just skimming through this thread.
Highway Star used to be my ringtone. Deep Purple's best song is Child In Time but they have a ton of great songs. Their post 2000 releases are decent too.

Excellent guitarist, excellent rhythm section, so so vocalist, some classic numbers.
I want you to want me (live at the Budokan) is on my all time playlist.
Maybe I should listen to deeper tracks.Heaven Tonight and Dream Police would be a good place to start. These are the albums released either side of Budokan. Robin Zander is an excellent lead singer.
I was listening to Cheap Trick's most recent album (We're All Alright!) this week. Plenty of catchy tunes.

Child in time would be their November Rain/Stairway to Heaven in an ideal world but its one that most casual rock fans haven’t heard. Others of theirs I love in no particular order are Flight of the Rat ( love Richies work in this ), Living Wreck, You fool no one, Burn, Mandrake Root, Bird has flown, Demons Eye, Fireball, Never Before, Perfect Strangers and No one Came.
I haven’t heard much post 1993 let alone 2000 that has impressed me much to be honest but Steve Morse has lasted ages and is obviously doing a great job.

Morse is a stud on the guitar. "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" is one of my favourite DP songs. Melodic and a killer tone.
Check out this song from their 2017 album "Infinite". The video is full of historical references to DP albums.

Had a listen, nicely done and those visual references are pretty cool. Great work for a bunch of blokes who almost all 70+
Morse was their guitarist when I saw them in welly in 2006. Whilst he did a fantastic job technically to me he just doesn't quite have that X factor that RB has ( well....had ) in aplomb. Obviously by all accounts being a bit of a cock and deciding he wanted to be a modern day minstrel ( seriously Richie what the actual fuck ? ) meant him and Purple had to part ways.
Not Purple but this is probably THE coolest guitar lead Richie ever committed to record in my opinion. Makes an otherwise ordinary song pretty damn cool I reckon. Roger Glover showed some nice touches on Bass too.....what a weird story....Richie personally fired him from Deep Purple then hired him for Rainbow years later ?!?!

I saw DP in Auckland on that tour, and again in 2013. Morse has actually been in the band for 25 years, much longer than Blackmore was.

I hadn't seen that video before. Joe Lynn Turner would later join DP for one album.

Garden, Gin and 90s anthems... Music doesn't feel like it used to!
