@JasonHi Cheers for the reply, i stand corrected. When i saw the gig for the first time back in about '96 i started to panic somewhat when Ritchie didn't come in on his cue in HS but i suppose it didn't matter that much as Lord and Paice kept the intro ticking over until he did make his entrance. Shame the old major disagreements between Messrs Gillan and Blackmore couldn't be resolved as that lineup had something extra special imo. That said, i do enjoy DP's colourful career as a whole.
I see you've closed your Tube account Deeperpurple1952 so this is going to be a slightly one sided coversation. Oh well, All The Best wherever you are...........................................
@Deeperpurple1952 Lucky you, did you manage to get a good view of the infamous water throwing incident, ha ha. Gillan's wife Bron got a soaking at the side of the stage, none too pleased (she's interviewed on Ian's 2007 docu dvd, well worth checking out if you haven't already). Aside from Ritchie not making an entrance until about halfway thru the gig , the show was ok imo (got in on VHS and highlights cd). I also have the Stuttgart cd which is better imo. Saw them in '96 & '98. Top Band.
I reamember it was a greate concert,i sow them before in the same tour in Turin bur Ritchie was not a the top,there he was fantastic and all the band plays inspired,it was kind a dream to see my favorite band play like this!

@DCHurlford Halfway through the gig? Ritchie came out late for "Highway Star" and that's it.
