I loved Tommy Bolin but when I saw Purple with him, it was awfull. He didn't know half the songs. And Purple without either Blackmore or Lord just isn't really Purple.
Love Tommy Bolin and really liked Come Taste The Band and his solo stuff but Deep Purple were Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord when either are missing or even worse like today BOTH are missing then its simply NOT Deep Purple
Both albums by the James Gang would have sucked if it were not for Tommy Bolin,he saved them."Bang" sounded more like a Bolin album.Also Tommy was a better singer and some great hooks by Tommy he was amazing on "bang"some of his best work,but i say that about all Tommy's stuff.Could you imagine what Tommy would have sounded like today.He was only 25 when he left us and look what he did in that short timespan,i think Tommy would be on top of the world,every band would want him.
I uploaded a video for the studio version of this song, this concert is in australia, I uploaded a video for love child live in australia 75, I don't know if is the same concert
sure i have purple videos from back in the day lying around all over the place....there is only one to my knowledge with tommy and thats the japanese horror show that is here already ..only mk3 stuff ive seen is cali jam and leeds uni and bbc london...the gillan stuff is that black and white swedish stuff and the new york stuff at the end loads of satch and widdly king morse ...but to me thast just a tribute band pre 77 is not that common..if it is please forward details
yeah but the japanese show with bolin is available only 30 min in video, the whole concert is in the cd this time around live in tokio, where is the rest of the footage from that concert?? there mut be somewhere, I don't think they only recorded 30 minutes...
Would be great to see some footage of his solo band just after he left Deep Purple-someone must have filmed him but so far you'd have more chance of seeng a UFO.

Kondur, this is from '76, if the one you uploaded is from '75....I'm guessing it's NOT the same concert, I could be wrong but I don't think so.

Taste It Down Under..it had to be David Coverdale who thought that one up, could almost be a title for a Whitesnake album.
