Darker Than Blue RSS- Yngwie does SmokeI sort of feel I ought to mention this, being Deep Purple’s most famous track, but DTB accept no responsibility if you press play! It’s a new album from Yngwie of cover versions. I’m all for people having a go at putting their own spin on things but this is just so stiff and lifeless […]
- Malcolm John Rebennack Jr.Or Doctor John to most of us! His recent death at the age of 78 has been widely reported but it is perhaps worth noting amongst his more illustrious career highlights (he made his live debut as The Night Tripper in the UK at one of the legendary Bath Festivals, check out the flyer above […]
- Another man in blackTim Summers managed to get across to Munich the other day and dodge tennis ball sized hail stones to catch Rainbow’s latest short live outing: The Olympiahalle is a bit of a legendary venue, with Rainbow’s ‘Rockpalast’ footage from 1977 being filmed there of course, so I was very interested to see it in person. […]
- Men In BlackIsh. One of the nice things about Deep Purple having a bit more time off this year is it means they can do other things, and some of them have been treading various red carpets over the last couple of weeks, albeit not getting quite the coverage in Grazia that others do as a result. […]
- In Town Tonight • WoodfordJune 4. 1969. Episode Six – Ivy Lodge Club, Woodford, North East London Fifty Years On! This former Victorian lodge was owned by the church next door and turned into a youth club, which began hosting discos and live music in 1965. These got so popular that the two living rooms were knocked through to make a […]
- New and oldGlenn Hughes’s promoters have been swift to reorganise his cancelled UK tour, with some dates rescheduled, and some alternatives where venues were not available. Dates are on the 2019 concert diary page. Thanks to Tim Summers.
- Vorwärts mit RitchieFans moaning about the recent new Rainbow tracks only being issued as downloads can sort of calm down as they now plan to round the iTunes MP3s up on a CD EP called Rainbow Vorwärts. BUT so far it will only be sold at upcoming Rainbow shows, which rather rules out a large chunk of any potential […]
- Glenn delaysGlenn Hughes has delayed the second leg of his “Plays Deep Purple” British tour due to begin on May 14th (tonight) as he needs medical treatment, but a statement from his website says that while this is urgent he should be back on the road again before very long, and the tour will be rescheduled. […]
- Back in the USADeep Purple are currently hunkered down in Nashville working on their next studio album, using the same set-up as for Infinite (released in April 2017). The band had a pre-recording writing session in a big studio in Germany in February (see photo above; no idea what they used the cherry picker for!)). It’s early days […]
- Liverpool StadiumI do like it when people take the time to write with their recollections of seeing Deep Purple in the olden days (if anything it doesn’t make me feel so old!); recently I was exchanging emails with a woman who saw them at Walthamstow Tech in 1970 who told me of fans being passed back […]
