Darker Than Blue RSS- South AmericaFive Deep Purple shows over in South America in December 2017 if you fancy a bit of a pre-Christmas break! Added to our date list. Argentina, Brazil (three venues) and Chile. Thanks to Mark Maddock.
- Extended playDeep Purple are releasing Johnny’s Band from Infinite as an audio CD EP in early August. It’s just the album version (a video has been out for some time) but to tempt collectors comes with a rehearsal jam and three live tracks (two oldies) listed as unreleased, but I’m not sure where from or when. […]
- On TVUPDATE : Airing July 29th, see details people have posted in the comments below. The fairly recent Deep Purple set at Hellfest 2017 was filmed and a one hour special will be aired on ARTE sometime this month (July). A few clips were shown already as part of a compilation. Get checking those TV guides! Thanks to […]

- Rainbow setBit of a set list spoiler here for those who aren’t going to see Rainbow, so don’t go futher down the page if you don’t want to know! On first glance it’s not that different to the 2016 tour but changes have been made. Spotlight Kid / I Surrender / Mistreated / Since You Been […]
- 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 […]
