In the 70s we never saw or heard these performances on UK TV. There was no rock apart from the odd appearance of Marc Bolan on Top of the Pops (20 mins per week)
How do you get the Royal Philharmonic, Malcolm Arnold and the Albert Hall when you've had only the smallest of success?? Also a record company who thinks it's a great idea to release a classical/rock album!!!
@CelticReject I think Chris Curtis was the link to the Edwards/Coletta management team and EMI Harvest - so I think they had a head start due to Curtis' connections.
Brilliant docu, pure Spinal Tap. I remember watching it on BBC 2 when it was originally broadcast back in April-ish 1995. Ha ha Gillan's gaff about Deep Purple Wallpaper "We should do Deep Purple bog paper as well......i really wan't my picture on that!" Classic. Not many bands have had as colourful a career as this one. Long live Deep Purple.
It may be the editing, but they seem to always blame the guy who isn't there ( Ritchie)
