Tommy Bolin solo - Highway Star Live 1975 Deep Purple

from 'This Time Around - Live in Tokyo' . This performance is way superior than the 'Last Concert in Japan' release where Bolin was suffering badly from drug abuse.

Wow, the guitar and singing on this night really make it sloppy.

@61Slughi If you listen to Bolin's other projects, he certainly wasn't into metal... and he was also struggling with drug adiction, which eventually killed him. Yeah, everyone in the band was getting disillusioned... the last show Lord just drove off after the show without talking to anyone (fro what I've read.) There's a concert they did in Long Beach where he sounds pretty good, look for it.

BOLIN SOUNDS GREAT ON BOLIN ERA DEEP PURPLE SONGS FROM "COME TASTE THE BAND"...IN BOTH PERFORMANCES THE SOLO IS LACKING THE PRECISION OF BLACKMORE. IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING NOTE FOR NOTE!!! THE POINT IS THAT ANY GUITARIST TRYING TO REPLICATE BLACKMORE"S SOLO IS NEVER GOING TO SOUND EXACTLY LIKE BLACKMORE! BOTH GUITARISTS ARE GREAT IN THEIR OWN UNIQUE WAY.

Suffering from drug abuse? Lets face it he was shit faced as in most of his live purple performances. It is sad but I hate the idea of sugar coating it. If you abuse coke and heroine you will die!

"Big fat knockers"?

Way to fuck up Gillan's brilliant lyrics, Coverdale.

[ArpeggioBear]

Bolin is only great at his songs, his solo in Owed to G was really good
