Darker Than Blue RSS- Remembering JonThere was a fascinating concert in Athens, Greece the other week (Nov 16) done as a tribute to Jon Lord’s music. With a big orchestra backing, they performed the three movements of “Concerto…”, “Sarabande” and an encore of “Hush”, “Lazy” and “Child In Time”. In some ways this points the way to how Deep Purple […]
- Date updatesMore concerts shaping up for 2019; one or two we have touched on before but this brings us up to date! All these are logged on our 2019 tour date page on the site. The concerts include a lengthy tour by tribute outfit Purpendicular with Ian Paice manning the drum kit, lasting through much of […]
- DatesWe mentioned Rainbow’s tour dates a few weeks ago; these have now been confirmed with just four shows in Europe for 2019. I guess this does mean there might be more in Russia or the Far East. Anyhow, the dates are on our 2019 diary page now. The flyer for the Finland gig is shown […]
- Communication breakdown?There has been a lot of speculation online about Steve Morse’s future in the group this past few days, sparked by an interview he gave with an online site, Rock, Roots and Blues. The report was not especially well phrased and the writer did seem to suggest Steve was preparing to leave and had even […]
- HMV specialsHMV have issued a number of special edition vinyl represses this year again (you may recall the marble vinyl In Rock from last time) to mark the BBC supported National Album Day. The one which may be of interest is a coloured vinyl issue of Rainbow Rising in their shops now (not online). My thanks […]
- Scum on the water!Warning. This post contains a link to the Daily Mail. Look away now if this upsets you. Yes the scourge of, well, everything came up trumps with a detailed investigation/ rehash of a syndicated news item / cure for cancer (delete which is applicable) about the sad saga of Ian Gillan’s one time hotel which […]
- Hope springs…I was trying to find Ian Gillan‘s old hotel complex the other day as someone wanted to visit, and looking at the web map sites the guitar shaped swimming pool appears to be still in situ; not quite viewable from space but almost! But it seems the hotel itself might be struggling. It closed a […]
- More MemoriesLooks like Ritchie Blackmore is going to give Rainbow another outing in 2019. Aleksey Kononow has just spotted this poster for a show in Germany in June, and other countries will be announced soon, including Spain we believe. They’re certainly getting their monies worth out of the old Rising artwork!
- Glenn tour spoilerDon’t read if you don’t want to know! Thanks to people who have nodded me over the Glenn Hughes tour list (we’ve not been able to make this tour ourselves). Quite a good selection, although I might have expected one or two more Come Taste songs. As a tour it is what it is, I […]
- Glenn on formWith Glenn just a few days off landing in the UK, reports from America suggest he is doing a great set. Vince travelled miles and caught the show in Providence RI the other evening and sent us the pic: Glenn in fine form despite this being almost the last gig of North America tour. It […]
