I love JLT and he still has an incredible voice. He's more than a pop singer having much more versatility than that. But, what the heck is going on at this concert -- I don't even recognize his voice except for some brief undertones.
As far as i'm concerned gillan can't sing anymore and joe lynn turner can still sing. ian gillan just massacres all the hits nowadays. and if i here smoke on the water with gillan singing one more time i'll go insane. its played all the time and having a different singer like joe lynn turner is a nice change. not to mention slaves and master did get into the top 10 on the billboard top 200 rock albums list. also i much prefer joe lynn turner singing black night and child in time over ian gillan.

@DPBESTSINGERJLT i agree in every possible way you´re mentioning here!!! JLT has a voice to sing. ian gillan actually could never really sing, just scream.

Well, fuck man. Gillan is like 68 now. I just seen them about 2 or 3 years ago and his performance was totally solid. Joe Lynn Turner, on the other hand, is a "good pop singer." Unfortunately, I don't like pop.
I will have to agree with you my friend! I dont like Joe Lynn Turner, But Ian blew his voice out during his stint with Black Sabbath, but compare Ian back in 1970 to Joe Lynn Turner and Joe Lynn aint got shit on Ian Gillan!
you know what joe lynn turner is an incredible singer and i believe him to be a heck of a lot better then ian gillan. you might not like joe lynn turner but he unlikely gillan never performed drunk. there's a video of ian gillan massacring highway star on youtube. it should be the fourth link he screws it up badly. not to mention slaves and masters is in my opinion the best purple album ever released no questions asked cause at least there's more then 1 good song on the album

Es más, gustándome la voz de Coverdale y Huges y canciones de esa era, prefiero las versiones "Gillan" con JLT que con ellos, que sí mataban temas como estos.
Me enferman los imbéciles que reclaman contra JLT porque "parece gay" o es un "fkn fag" y estupideces como esa. Si es por eso, nadi escucharía a Led Zeppelin por Robert Plant o a Van Halen por David Lee Roth, o es más, a Judas Priest porque Rob Halford sí es gay reconocido. Fíjense en la voz de JLT tarados. Soy fanático de DP y especialmente de la era Gillan, pero creo que JLT es un excelente vocalista que lo ha hecho muy bien en las bndas que ha estado.

Turner is a nice guy, but not the brightest guy. The way he sings it clearly shows that he has no idea what the lyrics are about.
Dreadful performance from my favourite band. I hate this leather, heavy-metal outfit (better dressed all in green). Blackmore tried to make some Foreigner out of Purple at that time. Therefore the singer.

A Great Piece of Shit!
JLT is awful... horrible singer... I really don't know why JLT joined to Deep Purple at that time... better they stop playing for a while... Gillan is the Best!
Poor Tommy! With that man's talent, things could have been so very different, but once you get into the clutches of "H", its downhill all the way. Glenn Hughes, who thankfully cleaned himself up, could have easily gone the same way!
They should grant Gillan some sort of legal right to forbid anyone else from trying to cover Child in Time. It just doesn't work. Ronnie James Dio... maybe. And Glenn Hughes... maybe, as SilverTongue85 suggested. But no one else.
Blackmore loved the fact that Joe was in the band...Jon and Ian Paice hated his stage appearance and showmanship....Roger was stuck in the middle. 'Slaves & Masters' is good, but Gillan is the best voice in Deep Purple.
If they should have done a medley of it, then they should have done it instrumental. Joe is a great singer, but NOT for this song. I've heard rumours of the band actually rehearsing a full version of this prior to the 'Slaves & Masters' tour, but it was abandoned....and I'm glad it was. People will give me thumbs down, but I'm really a JLT fan. Have all his solo albums and the Hughes/Turner project etc. The Turner era in Rainbow is my favourite, but this was just sad to listen to. Sorry Joe...
What the fuck this prick did with Child In Time ???
He took all the heart, the feeling, the sorrow...the SOUL of the song.
I rather see Gillan struggling with the high notes, but but putting heart on his voice than see this short motherfucker showing off his hair and his leather pants instead of singing.
Very well put! I love Joe's singing, but this was awful. Only one member of DP should sing 'Child In Time', though back in the mid 70's, it would have been interesting to hear Glenn Hughes try it, as he could hit the notes and sing with passion...not in the same way as Gillan of course, but Coverdale could never do it.
I as well would rather listen to Gillan not reaching the highest notes, with help from Steve etc. playing highpitched guitar during the highest notes, than JLT butcher it.
I've been trying to learn a bit about all the different Purple lineups, and honestly I have tried listening to a number of songs by this lineup on here, but I really think that Turner could be the most talentless knob I've ever heard in my life.
Joe Lynn Turner gained attention fronting for Fandango, a band that featured the first Deep Purple bassist Nicky Simpor. They were on RCA I think, and one review I read had Turner as a real stand-out vocalist.
Not so.... two completely different Fandango's, one gloriously British and one American. Btw, Turner is a poser after Rainbow, where he wasn't much better.
great!!! Purple was fantastic with joe. There's some cool live stuff on youtube of that incarnation or purple. If you have some time please take a look at our life version of when a blind man cries on the dandyloon channel.

BLACK NIGHT WAS THE SECOND SONG IN THE SET.
IT WAS USED AS A WARM UP TRACK AFTER THE OPENER BURN,AND A NOD TO THEIR PAST & A THANKYOU TO THEIR FANS.
IT WAS PROBABLY NOT JOES IDEA TO DO THIS.
HE ONLY SINGS ONE VERSE OF CHILD IN TIME AND IS NOT ATTEMPTING TO OUTSING IAN GILLAN SO WHY ALL THE FUSS.
HE ONLY SINGS A COUPLE OF BARS OF LONG LIVE ROCK N ROLL.
THE REAL MEAT OF THIS TOUR CAME AFTER THIS SONG.
TRUTH HURTS WHERE RITCHIE IMPROVISED,THE CUT RUNS DEEP,FIRE IN THE BASEMENT AND KING OF DREAMS.
jonnyrainbow1 1 year ago
IAN GILLAN LEFT SO THEY LOOKED FOR ANOTHER SINGER.
EVENTUALLY AFTER TRYING OUT VARIOUS SINGERS THEY CALLED JOE UP AND HE SANG LIKE AN ANGEL SO THEY ASKED HIM TO JOIN THE BAND.
HE'S A GREAT SINGER AND SINGS EVERY ERA OF DEEP PURPLE WELL.
HE IS NOT IAN GILLAN AND OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS IAN'S SONG BUT JOE SINGS IT FINE!
RITCHIE DOESN'T PLAY THE EXTENDED GUITAR IMPROVISATION WHICH IS WHAT MADE THE ORIGINAL SONG-IT'S NOT JOE'S FAULT!!
IT IS A LIVE SNIPPET(INTERPOLATION/) AS A BONUS FOR THE FANS.

I HAVE NEVER HEARD GILLAN SING AND DEEP PURPLE 111 OR RAINBOW SONGS-WONDER WHY?
I PREFER DEEP PURPLE MK111 AND JOE IS ONE OF MY FCAVOURITE SINGERS.
