Darker Than Blue RSS- GrossThis great advert turned up recently, from one of the American music trade papers, bragging about the earnings of Deep Purple’s Perfect Strangers American tour back in 1985. The tour run from January through to May (with breaks) and generated nearly $7 million in ticket sales, over half a million sold. It was later was […]
- OffRainbow have had to pull the Manchester concert. Last week the Arena was saying shows would restart (and we reported this below) but clearly work is taking longer than hoped, and they will not now be able to reopen until September. It’s probably too late to find an alternate venue. Ticket holders are being refunded […]
- June 9thSomeone sent us this nice old promo 10X8 and reminded me it is Jon Lord’s birthday today, so a nice way to remember the old gimmer. It was taken back in 1969 at Mk 2’s very first photo shoot. And it’s always nice to see him “at it” on stage, as in this nice pic […]
- Hard at workPerhaps mindful of the comments on the three Rainbow shows in 2016, Ritchie and the band have been putting some serious time in for the shows later this month. As well as rehearsals back in America, they are having a week of production rehearsals in the UK immediately before the tour, and posting photos to […]
- 47th anniversary reprint!What were you doing on June 5th forty-seven years ago? Me I was probably trying to dodge flying board rubbers in double english (the teacher had this habit of lobbing them at high velocity in the vague direction of anyone he thought wasn’t paying attention…) Some however were lucky enough to be in town picking […]
- Special guest…There’s a rare Roger Glover session due in the form of a guest spot on the new Alice Cooper album, out on July 28th. We do not know exactly what he gets to do, but hopefully it’s not just tamborine!* The album is out through Ear Music. Thanks to Mark Maddock for the info. [* […]
- ManchesterAwful news from Manchester today. It’s a city which has always meant a lot to us at DTB. We go back regularly for a mooch and a culture fix at the galleries. We’ve seen Deep Purple (and others) at the Arena and were hoping to catch them there again later this year. Many of us […]
- PhotosSome great shots of the Geneva concert on Saturday evening on the local paper’s website, click to see their gallery. Thanks to Denis Zuercher. Filed under: Albums, Infinite
- I Surrender (redux)Us old stick in the muds will be tested come May 26th when Rainbow release two download only tracks via iTunes. They’ve done a re-recording of I Surrender with the current singer Ronnie Romero, and a new track, Land Of Hope And Glory. Both tracks are greyed out on iTunes right now, so you cannot […]
- SouvenirsNice set of memorabilia here for Saturday’s show in Geneva; the concert poster, a full page press advert (which would look good as a poster) and they even a special ticket design. Thanks to Denis Zuercher for sharing these with us. Guess where he will be Saturday evening!
