With regards to opening for Aerosmith, Purple have and have always had substandard management, sigh. From 73′ to 75′ they were the biggest band in the world [a world which included The Stones, Zep, Floyd in or near their prime!] and yet they co-headlined California Jam with E.L.P. [Whom I love]. Really, E.L.P? The other 3 bands mentioned would never co-headline with anyone but Purple did. The Jam was America’s intro to Mark III… Wait a tic, someone accepted Ian Gillan’s resignation and allowed Glover to be fired? Funny Peter Grant would not have. He would have told the band to take a break and filed Ian’s note under trash bin. After the very successful ‘Strangers’ reunion they release the less prosperous ‘House’ and Vavoom they take the middle spot on a Areosmith/Purple/G’N’R bill in America which they should not have done. Good management cultivates for the client, a ‘We Headline Or We Don’t Play’ attitude, Period! That’s why The Stones never played under Zep, or Floyd under Wings, etc. There are countless places around the globe that will pay todays Purple to come play without having to open for anyone. If only Mr. Grant [R.I.P.] handled Purple instead of H.E.C….if only.

Interestingly one of the reviews from the US tour I just put on the site shows them doing a show with no opener at all – just straight on and in there.
August 22, 2014 at 10:07 pm |
What’s happened to the great Rock & Roll Hall of Fame debate? I was just getting started with Gillan and the cardboard cut out that is Steve Morse!
August 27, 2014 at 11:57 am |
The Great Rock & Roll Hall of Fame And Wheel Of Fortune as it’s now officially known…
August 19, 2014 at 4:45 pm |
I will see the last two shows. Hope they play “Woman from Tokyo” as a encore, again. Nice to see a much needed chance in that portion of the show, but It really does not matter what they play once that take the stage.
August 19, 2014 at 2:22 pm |
Buenos Aires, Argentina?… 2015?
May 22, 2014 at 10:14 am |
DP should never have to support any other rock band. They have been a classic rock band headliner …4 plus decades! Must be Steven Tylers ego getting the best of him..again!

Someone was asked in Paris 2013 for tour programme. I heard them answer : “there is nothing for this tour”. Not seen in Luxembourg 2014 either at their “the mobile merchandising unit”.
April 14, 2014 at 3:13 pm |
deep purple is bigger in france than aerosmith no problem…i m french
April 8, 2014 at 1:09 am |
No one who has seen them already has mentioned anything about the merchandise at the shows. Do they have a new tour programme for this year?
April 8, 2014 at 9:40 am |
Did anyone see one?
March 20, 2014 at 5:17 pm |
I just scored tix for Purple at the OC Fair August 6th. The damn ticket brokers already have the choice seats but I’m still in a pretty good location. I might try to make the Harrahs show near San Diego the next week as well.
March 30, 2014 at 10:49 am |
Send us a few words if you do Steve!
March 20, 2014 at 5:15 pm |
Aerosmith is bigger than DP in France? I understand here in America but France? Don’t get me wrong, I love Aerosmith, right up there with DP for me but Purple should be headlining in France.
March 18, 2014 at 11:54 am |
Pretty piss-poor US tour. 12 in the States & 2 in Canada.
No dates in NEW England? You wouldn’t mind but Thames Talent & Bruce Payne are IN Connecticut! And it sounds like a reprise of the Orchestra Tour at some gigs. WTF? NO proper touring or attention to the wonderful NOW WHAT ?!
Very sad “STATES” of affairs (pun intended).
March 16, 2014 at 10:16 pm |
What about Vancouver BC? Come on guys.
March 13, 2014 at 10:12 pm |
I`m so there at Casa Rama!! Saw the Boys there the last time, great stuff!!..
March 13, 2014 at 7:43 pm |
Yes! And even close to Seattle!!!!
March 13, 2014 at 6:27 pm |
Not only are they touring the US but they’re coming to my home state of Mississippi? Be still my heart!
February 24, 2014 at 4:36 pm |
Hellfest for me then, I’ve heard rave reviews about the festival, and who can pass up a chance to see one of the greatest UK classic rock bands ever just one more time?……oh and Deep Purple too!!
February 24, 2014 at 3:46 pm |
Sorry,
1 April 2014
February 24, 2014 at 4:15 pm |
Thanks – have added it.

They should redo the 1972 Budokan show in its entirety (while of course recording it) as a 42nd anniversary special..
January 30, 2014 at 2:09 am |
So how many more years until DP plays the US???
February 24, 2014 at 5:11 am |
I hope it’s soon. I’m afraid not too many more years of touring left and the band retires for good.
January 27, 2014 at 2:48 pm |
…supporting Aerosmith!!!!
Surely you jest???
February 3, 2014 at 10:45 am |
That’s what the advert showed!
February 24, 2014 at 5:04 am
I’m embarrassed.
January 27, 2014 at 1:06 pm |

February 3, 2014 at 10:46 am |
