@wahwahcolin Tommy probably WAS dead on his feet on the 17 since the show was on the 15th.:)Actually, Jon DIDN'T play all of the solos, or even close.Glenn was shot, not Tommy.Tommy played a pretty good set that night.
I heard Bolin and Hughes wanted Purple to go to a more funky-blues direction, so they were sortof mocking the metal based songs... I heard Lord left this show without speaking to anyone.
@switcherx according to a interview I saw with Lord, he said he and Paicey had already decided to split the band, and they told Coverdale after this concert, but not clear if it was directly after they got off stage (as it wording of how he described it sounded) or he meant after the show when they'd either gone back to their hotel/tour bus or after the show says later.
I have to agree. Sort of, I hope. He had that agreement with the band that he wasn't going to simply be a "replacement" for Ritchie, and, he was given a certain amount of room to interpret and present his approach to the Purple material. However, Tommy was a very percussive, rhythmic, player, similar to Joe Walsh, and I wish he would have left the tone pot alone on his guitar and went with the treble full out and tried to replicate the riff as closely as possible to how Ritchie played it.
@kevinneslund All of the guitar on the UK shows is muddy! It wasn't like that in other parts of the world. Australia had that twangy strat tone.Weird.Perhaps it was Tommy's equipment reacting to the UK voltage,although the amps belonged to Robert Fripp.Go figure.
I've always liked this take of myself,and the way Bolin would play with the riff.Blackmore did too and didn't get any stick,so there you go.....This recording is pretty muddy,I'd love to hear a cleaner version.
I will say this, changing three key members in a two year period, and drastically changing the core sound was way too much for any fan base to take.I never was a big Purple fan until Bolin joined, and liked all of the elements brought in,so I'm at odds with most Purple fans anyway.:)
That's the name of the boot, but this show is 2nd Wembley.I've had it in my collection for over 30 years.I've got all of the UK tour except Leicester, which has never surfaced.

They say that Coverdale left the band in the middle of "Speed king" that day.
Bolin changes some notes of "Burn" to avoid similarities with "Fascination Rythm" of G. Gherswin.
He was AMERICAN, he knew Gherswin.

Bolin always butchered the Burn riff. I actually like CTTB, but Lord and Paice should have bailed sooner on this mess.

I can't listen to all of this..Burn is probably my favourite MK3 track, it's being mutilated here.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Tommy Bolin is the worst guitar player that played with David Coverdale.
