Gillan - Mr. Universe (Promo 1979) VERY RARE FOOTAGE !

This is one of the rarest videos from whole "Gillan Era". It was filmed during the making of official video for "Sleeping on the Job", but unfortunately it never appeared as a official video recording from Gillan.
Anyhow i hope that this is going to be a perfect gift for all Deep Purple fans around the world.

Cheers..

I realize Accidentally on Purpose was recorded in 1988 when Gillan's voice was still good. At some point he had inflamed, infected tonsils removed - along with the nodules, that supposedly improved his voice - anybody know when? German doctor found this in '80s, I think. His voice still gives me chills - and other feelings!

@Lil1943

That could've happened in the late 80's early 90's. Listen to his solo album Toolbox from 1991, you wil be surprised with his range, after poor 80's coughing

@gillanfan. It,s painfull to see him trying to do these old songs. Even Smoke on the water.

But they still touring and a lot off people come to see the legend.

Morse is good but NO Blackmore. I guess Gillan can better do what Plant and Blackmore do , other music, not pretending he,s still young.

Just doin things he like with another genre off musis I think the man still got a great voice but his range is short limmited now and he seems to refuse his limitations and thats, painfull to see

@DonvanderDeijl

Exactly

[Lil1943]

@dasvadder12 Thanks SO much for the info about Gillan's voice and tonsillectomy. Have noticed changes in his voice in '80s and '90s - some great; some pretty bad. Thought for a while that he had "lost" it (as a lot of people thought and wrote him off), but then you hear 2000s "One Eye to Morroco." Again, THANKS!

[dasvadder12]

@Lil1943 His tonsils got infectet in 1982, but he got them out in 1985.That's why he had problem with his voice in the 80's and early 90's. The Rockpalast-concert from 85 was a few days before his tonsils got out.But Gillan had also good days in the 80's. In 1987 his voice was good.

Haven't heard this for years...Awesome.

@scipfish I saw Gillan at the Empire to. Great watching McCoy flying round the stage in a harness playing his guitar. I got his and Gillian's autographs after the concert.

ian gillan is a gifted man. holy molly!

[Lil1943]

@Gillanfan89 That makes since. Haven't listened to Toolbox yet. But someone has put several songs and a video he made with the Greek singer (1993), and he sounds great - "Getaway," "I Think I Know." Even has the scream back - which I've never thought of as a scream since he has/had vibratto, etc., with it.
