Jon Lord looks amazing!

Yeah that wig is hanging in there pretty well.

Fine, eloquent men. Another case of talented artists being exploited by a soulless money-making machine.

@kyla2112 me too mate, me too. Of course, they got booed by the audience, and so they didn't do an encore. The weird but wonderful ways of DP Mk2.

@s22ad I would loved to have been there for that!

@kyla2112 I read Ritchie's biography once, and there's a funny story about a gig in france that they did where the audience was"so bad", that cozy powell, himself and roger glover (i think), they switched instruments and played Peter Gunn (with cozy on bass, glover on guitar and blackmore on drums), sounds hilarious

@kyla2112 I did get to see DP with Richie once and it was awesome. Loved that him and Roger switched instruments for Smoke On The Water. I also saw DP with Steve on the last tour and that was also awesome. They did more early stuff then the Mark II lineup did. Hard Lovin' Man was incredible!

[kyla2112]

I love Blackmore but he is a limited player as far as Purple goes. He certainly couldn't do Blackmore's Night type stuff with Purple. Steve Morse is an incredibly gifted player, writer and arranger and was already my favorite guitarist before he joined DP. That being said, I wouldn't mind if Richie came back but it isn't going to happen. We probably have a better chance of seeing another Pink Floyd reunion (without Richard Wright, of course).

@Stingerfan4ever It's from the series Classic Albums and its the episode on Machinehead. It's available on DVD

steve morse is an excellent guitar player and has taken deep purple into the modern era i mean deep purple was greatvin the 70,s but really the band should have moved on without blackmore because blackmore though hes a great player he can be a nasty person and really deep purple when they got rid of him after 93 were better off without his bad attitude and he wasnt adding any new material to the band and now hes just a washed up old man morse owns him

@s22ad My point was that Morse resurrected DP, and it is my firm belief that without him they would have broken up for good a long time ago. Your point is well taken that RB is responsible for much of their early success and that his riffs are the focal point of their music. But Morse's musical excellence and his ability to bring his vast talents to the table and execute them are what keeps this band viable as a touring entity. Blackmore was a severely destabilizing influence.

@beeroosterm lol. morse is better than blackmore, and if it wasnt for morse, dp would have gone under a long time ago?? er...hello? without blackmore, DP would never have surfaced in the first place..Blackmore gave well over half of the riffs that made DP a 'known' band to purple, every time you hear deep purple, it's Smoke on the water (ritchies song), hush (ritchies song) or strange kind of woman (ritchies song) etc, not many morse songs on 'best of' albums these days
