Looks like the move to deep-purple.com has been carried over well and
things are running smoothly now on the new server! Thanks again to Svante
and the folks (fjolks? no, that's Norwegian...) at Netch.se for their
assistance in this regard.
Listening to OTWOARF right now, and there are parts on it that are
absolutely breathtaking! "This Time Around" and "Lazy" are amazing! Glenn
Hughes is very prominent on the album and that might color your opinions of
the music. I like Glenn, so it's OK by me. I'll say this much more: it is
definitely *different* from any other live recording of DP I got! I'll
probably be ready to review it come the next issue.
On to the digest! Remember to send contributions to dplist(at-a-domain-named)deep-purple.com!
Onward, through the fog!

Subject: Re: Darker Than Blue magazine
Hi again,
I just read the posts last issue about the Deep Purple Appreciation
Society magazine, Darker Then Blue. Since I've been a subscriber for
like 12 years now, I figured I'd put in my two cents.
A subscription to the DPAS mag lasts for four issues. This is regardless
of how long it takes Simon Robinson to get them out. Originally, his
goal was to do it quarterly, four times a year, but that has never
happened. Realistically, the mags come out approximately every six
months or so. However, the upside is that each issue is truely amazing.
They range from about 30 to 50 "A4" sized pages. Inside, the mag is
jam-packed with news, original reviews and stories, reader reports from
the road, and exclusive photos.
Unlike many other fanzines, there is very little nonsense inside like
poetry about the band, or discussions of who's the cutest band member,
etc. What you get is at least 30 pages of Deep Purple from cover to
cover. No wasted space for advertisements, no stock promo photos
reprinted over and over again, and no list of "official $30 T Shirts" for
sale.
The mag is totally independent from the band or its management.
Therefore, they are CLEARLY not of the opinion that everything done by
Deep Purple is superb. Quite the contrary, actually. In the past, no
mercy has been shown for such brilliant moves as hiring Joe Lynn Turner,
or even the "Stranger in Us All" album.
The downside of all of this is that if you are an American, the magazine
is VERY expensive. 20 Pounds Sterling translates to about 35 US dollars.
You're talking nearly $10 an issue. However, I think most fans would
agree that it's well worth it. Especially if you're a big fan of the
peripheral bands like Rainbow, Whitesnake, Glenn Hughes, etc., all of
which are given their fair share. Luckily, I think you can now pay by
credit card. In the old days, it was IMPOSSIBLE to make payment to the
UK. You had to either go to a bank and get a draft made out in Pounds
Sterling (which cost you $25 just for the draft!), or you had to send an
additional 10 Pounds with your order so they could convert dollars to
pounds on their end. In the end, most Americans gave up and just sent
cash. Luckily, the credit card companies do all the currency conversion
for you now.
Finally, note that the "CEE DEE MAIL" people NO LONGER take subscriptions
for the magazine. Everything is now done in-house, so contact the DPAS
directly. You can find more information through the DPAS link from the
Highway Star page.
Hope this helps.
- Joe

Subject: Re: Deep Purple Digest #70
A nice lengthy issue!! Just a few more words:
1. Someone asked if anyone else got DTB and what they thought of it: I do
and
I think it is GREAT. I have only been on for the past 2 issues, but they
are
meaty; it took me a few daze to get through each, and it put me in a
thoroughly Purple mood altogether, sent me back to re-listen to CDs to
consider the points made, etc. A total DP-fest.
2. Dean's comparison of DP to the Dead slaughtered me; I am very happy they
are doing lots of shows, lots of improv, and varied setlists. That sets
them
apart from most every classic band at this point. BUT I do wish they would
dump the obligatory "Smoke ON The Water" et al once and for all, and just
play new songs and odd rarities - "Pictures of Home" and "Into the Fire"
and
the like are great but no more "Highway Star" required. I must admit I do
enjoy it in spite of myself when I hear it but other songs deserve airing.
3. SOmeone discussed Iron Maiden at length - interesting band - a funny DP
connection is that I recall reading that in the mid-80's, DP reunion era,
Ian
Gillan cut his long straight black hair short because there was some image
confusion between he and Bruce Dickinson! Both air-raid screamers but ya'd
have to be an idjit to mix those two up!!
4. Last - someone requested "Owed to G' - imagine how nicely the new Purple
could tear this song up live!!! Oh how I wish, and it would be a nice
tribute
too. At the 1998 Bolin Tribute show, Glenn Hughes and band did this song,
with TWO guitarists, and really did it right. magic. Jim
{Indeed, "Owed to G" would be truly awesome. No need to worry about anyone
doing the vocals, either!}

Subject: Re: dp Köln 26 June 99
Deep Purple Köln 25 June 1999
After a hard day's work, I drove - all alone - the 3 ˝ hours from Brugge to
Köln. Johan did not get a day off, and my wife did not want to join me. She
doesn't like Purple cos "it's music for children". Thanks to a friendly
native, who drove in front of me and showed me the right direction, I found
the Palladium quite easy.
There were already 2 queues: a small one to get some tickets, and a larger
one to enter the hall. After I bought my ticket (as I found out later, it
was cheaper than those who ordered by phone). The doors opened at 18:30. I
was one of the firsts to enter the rather small hall. Many would follow.
They sold some nice T-shirts, especially the purple one. I think it is one
of the most beautiful in my collection.
At last; it was 19:40 when the support act started: Lenny Wolf, a German
singer and bass player, backed up by 2 guitarplayers and a drummer who sat
really low behind his drumkit. I must admit that I've seen worse openers
for Purple. Anyway, the German audience appreciated him. It was a mix
between English and Deutsche songs, between very heavy and slow-blues. The
keyboard player just stood there for the show I think: or he was not
playing, or you could not hear him. Sometimes they sounded like Led
Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. During one song you could hear some Steve Morse
influences on the guitar. Before the last song, I left the hall; to have a
beer and a last pee before Purple got on stage. The hall was almost full,
but the bar was full, that promised! Therefore, I hurried back to make sure
that I got a decent place.
At 20:29 the roadies started to break Wolf's gear off, in the dark! It took
some time before the lights were switched on. The hall is quite narrow and
long, as I have stated before rather small for a Deep Purple gig. The age
of the audience was situated between 6 (I asked his father) and 65+ (no, I
did not dare to ask her). Also a lot of fathers and mothers with their
sons and daughters, pity mine are into The Spice Girls and Boyzone. In
addition, as always, when you are reasonably in front, people are trying to
get in front of you at the very last moment. Moreover, as always, they are
bigger and taller than you. Except for that guy who was trying to get in
front of us with a beer in his hand. My neighbour asked if that beer was
for him. And, yep, he gave his own beer away, just like that. Luckily, that
guy shared his free beer with some of his neighbours - and I was one of
them.
After half an hour (20:58), the audience got impatient and started
whistling. It looked like it helped, cos 2 minutes later the lights went
out and the show started with a very short version of The Boys are Back in
Town (Thin Lizzy) that ended with a small drumsolo. I would have preferred
a Purple song, but it seemed appropriate.
Pictures of Home. A new opener. Gillan with his hair cut (everyone knows it
by now, I guess) looked like Jimmy Page, though without beer belly. In
fact, he has lost some weight. The sound in the hall was simply GREAT! We
immediately got a Morse and Lord solo. Steve's sounded a bit like
"Cascades" and was awesome. This first, real song lasted 7 minutes. A good
start.
"We like to finish with this song. This is not about Ted and has nothing to
do with his car". Ted The Mechanic. Which is becoming a real Purple
classic. Gillan managed his screams fine, not as in the good - very - old
days, but he did it!
I did not read the latest reviews on Highway Star on purpose, because this
would have spoiled it all; I already knew the new, improved playlist.
"Thank you very much. Superb!" Strange Kind of Woman. Here Ian had some
small problems with his high screams but could just manage. (Very tiny
remark, to have at least one). Suddenly he saw a - yes indeed - very-pretty
girl in the part of the audience where I stood, and kept an eye on her
during the whole concert and blew kisses at her. Lordies solo was good, but
too short for my liking. During his "oehoe"-singing Ian was just beside the
right notes, but that's a part of a life show that I like, but only if it
happens once, luckily this was the case. A small interaction between the
guitar player and the drummer, whose sound was amazing. A nice fat bassy
sound that felt like 3 on Richter's scale in your stomach. This song
lasted for 5 minutes or so, and the crowd went loopy for it.
"Here is a song about mets (?), small musquito's as we call them; it is
from "In Rock" from '69" Bludsucker. This was a delicious heavy version;
including some excellent screams. I must say that I'm afraid that this song
is as bad as "Child in Time" for his voice. During this concert, Gillan was
again all the time behind the amps drinking his magic potion. Lord did his
Abandon solo, I prefer the old one, but still beautiful. Big Ian included
the melody of "The Lion Sleeps Tonite". Nice new touch.
"This was the ballad and bla bla bla (he talked really too fast, so I could
not follow him trying to write it all down, when this happened I'll write
"bla bla bla"). 69. I find this a good live song, though Pierre and his
friend, who I saw the day after at the Belgian DPFC convention, thought
that this version was rather minor). Did they include a new middle piece? I
had the impression they did, and I liked it. Steve's brilliant solo,
supported by Jon, was played over a swell rhythm, which sounded a bit like
"Paint it Black". A heavy, but too short drum and Hammond interaction
followed it. Steve threatened to untune Roger's bass. They were all smiling
faces on stage.
"This one had the spirit of the old days in Hamburg, Cologne…It was a great
part of our life." Then he was adlibbing something about " swimming over
the ocean and having his mouth full with sand" This theme returned often
during the concert. Woman From Tokyo. The song started somewhat different,
but was good. Again the old songs got the crowd excited. During the quiet
bit The Lord of the Hammond became the Lord of the piano with a fine piece
of playing.
"Superb! Fantastic! You're great! Thaaank you! This is a thing about lost
messages while I was swimming. I could not read it, because I don't
understand English and I Felt Like Screaming". This announcement drew wild
response from the audience "Yeeaaaahh!" The singer was walking around a lot
during the whole gig, sometimes he was on the left side, sometimes on the
right side, mostly in the middle part, waving at everybody, and of course
singing his ass off, owning the crowd. Morse was astonishing; the last note
he kept stretching and stretching until there was no more sound from his
guitar. The public was really quiet, one could hear a pin drop until the
whole place exploded with applause.
"Every night it gets dark, every morning it doesn't. We've done a study
about it: Watching the Sky". A marvellous live song with those rhythm
changes, one of my few faves on Abandon. I noticed that almost every song
they played included some - or more - screams. So, why didn't he have a try
for C.I.T? This would be a great crowd-pleaser, even more than worlds most
famous riff. At the end Gillan was sitting down on stage, something I
suspect he does during every gig.
Now he was adlibbing something about "Niagara Falls, Tokyo, it's dark…bla
bla bla" while having a stroll on stage and then almost whispering "…lost
my luggage …bla bla bla…what is this? Oh yeah, it is Space Trucking.
Aaaaaall Right!!" It seemed a bit slower than earlier versions, but the
place (including me) went nuts! [This in great contrast with the music I'm
listening to at the moment: for the first time I am listening to the
complete "Under a Violet Moon." Beautiful! Now "Beyond the Sunset" is
playing. I do prefer this CD above "Pictured Within". Sorry Jon, but it is
really boring. On with the concert:] The short Steve-and-Little-Ian-thing
is a blinder. I wonder how Paice manages not to lose his arms, hitting his
drums that hard.
Lord started a nice melody, taken over by Morse. This is the intro for
"Blind Man"! Oooooh, would they? The real highlight of the
"Purpendicular"-tour. His "raindrops-solo" (or how should I call it?)
pleased everyone in the audience. He played different rhythms, and then he
did something classical real fast. By now it was clear that this was not
the song I hoped for, but still a breathtaking guitar-solo. Oops, small
mistake. However, this was one in, well how many notes did he play that
night? If I was on that stage performing; well, I might have had 1 sole
note correct during the whole gig ;-) The ending of his solo was now well
known by the habitués: "Cascades". Again, like last year, Steve threatened
to fall off stage. The crowd went insane after this jaw-dropping-good solo.
Jon started the intro for Lazy. The part I liked most was his imitation of
Ritchie's fun-bit on "Made In Japan". It sent some shivers down me spine.
Followed by a heavy Morse and again Jon. This was a real awesome version!
Pity, one could not hear Ian's harmonicas, which he did not throw in the
audience. This Lazy was a real treat!
Next was that famous new intro to Smoke on the Water everybody was writing
about. I recognised "Brown Sugar, Honky Tonk Woman, Whole Lotta Love, Iron
Man, Stairway to Heaven, House of the Rising Sun… and some others I knew,
but could not give a name; some fragments lasted for only 2 seconds! I
think he played 10 or more tunes. They were all classics, followed by hard
rock's hymn. Of course the crowd went into overdrive. Gillan threw a
purple, plastic inflatable guitar into the public and - unbelievable - they
did not fight for it! When I compare this concert to the last one I saw in
Lille. Well, there is no comparison; this concert is completely different!
(See my review of the rather disappointing show in Lille
http://www.deep-purple.com./cgi-bin/eu98-2_reviews.pl?item=130)
Lordy's solo was nothing special, though he seemed to enjoy himself. I
liked the part when he played the Smoke tune on the piano. His solo became
the intro to
Perfect Strangers. Another 'new' classic. (Well, 'new': it is already 15
years old). I must say that I had a great time! Long time since I'd
enjoyed a gig so much. During the 'organ-green-lights-thing' Gillan was
practising his Spanish dancing .
"Bla, bla, bla…A Scotsman, a Welshman and a conservative, it will never
work out. Bla, bla, bla" Speed King. This was phenomenal! The interaction
between Steve and Jon seemed more real than the other times I've seen it.
Roger did an extended solo, but he did not get much reaction from the
audience, so he handed over the torch to Little Ian and his thundering
solo. I must admit that I like his playing very much, but I rather like
Cozy's solos. They are much more impressive. The duel between Gillan and
Morse was quite short, and did not work out very fine. Just Steve who was
imitating Gillan's laughing. They interpolated Blue Suede Shoes, and Gillan
started adlibbing:" I have some blue shoes, and some black shoes, I have
some red shoes…" Here Steve was taking their duel up again, which now
worked out fine. Gillan sang "there is a hole in my shoe" ŕ la 'I've got a
hole in my bucket'. It was a real pleasure to watch them. After this
furious duel he had to gasp for breath. The whole thing finished at 22:48.
Gillan stayed on stage a bit longer to sign some tourbooks, tickets, and CD
covers.
The raving crowd was chanting the Black Night theme. This got rewarded at
22:50 with Gillan conducting the audience into Black Night. Including a
magnificent solo by the banjoplayer (dare I call him that?). The crowd, as
the band, were really enjoying themselves.
Happy 2-hours was over, with a gigantic version of Highway Star. The
excitement was hardly describable; as was the sorrow when it all ended at
23:04. Weep weep.
Outside the hall I saw a van, with "Purple tour" lettering all over,
parked. Also a Saab with Swedish licence plates. In the hall I've heard
some other languages too: Russians (one of them clapping all the time out
of rhythm) English and of course inevitable some Dutch people. I did not
see any familiar faces.
As I have written already a few times before, during this review this was a
superb concert. I can compare it with Paris last year. Pity that I had to
hurry back home, I had to drive for 3 to 4 hours (and my feet did hurt) and
had to get up early to taxi the missus to her work. Moreover, after that
she would join me for the first time to the fanclub's annual convention.
Well in fact she joined me to do some shopping over there. Women!

Subject: concerning airplay of purpletunes...
I know this discussion was on quite a few months ago, but I'd like to
rejuvinate/add to the comments that Purple never gets any airplay on radio
or tv anywhere in the world. In Sweden we've been pretty lucky over the
years. Maybe not so much nowadays as earlier in the eigthies, but still...
A few months ago there was a tv comercial for driver's licence and taking
driving lessons. The whole intro up until the chorus of "Highway Star" was
on national swedish TV for 2-3 times a night for a couple of months! It
really stuck onto people's brains as well, as I noticed when co workers of
mine asked my why I played Tv jingles, when I had "Machine Head" on at
work...
A few years back ( I think it was in 93 or 94) Eurosport used the "Burn"
riff on their jingle for the world championships of Ice Hockey.
that's how a friend of mine got hooked on the Purps, by hearing that
jingle!
On a pretty lame sitcom called En fyra för tre (A four room apartment for
three) they had a party and danced to "Ted, The Mechanic" wich was pretty
new at the time..
A few weeks ago I saw a home decorating program at tv that used the intro
of "You Keep on moving" as a jingle...
On a finishing note, I can't wait for the extended cd-version of "Live in
London" to come out!
This LP is absolutely supergreat! Forget Made in Europe or "The last
Concerts"! This is Purple mk 3 cooking at the top of their capacity. A
totally mindwrecking version of Mistreated, not to mention Jon's
presentation of the band ( "Right round the room, thankyou"...)and intro to
"Smoke" is enough to grab your hands on this baby as soon as You see it.
Dean, after You've listened yourself silly to "Foxbat", this is Your next
lp in line, trust me (Btw, What do You think of Glenn's coked up rablings
on "Foxbat"?)!
"Ooooh, Purple! I just LOVE Purple!"

Whilst I respect your choice, I would go for Last Concert. ( Would anyone
out there actually go for Slave and masters!?). From when it was first
released (March 77?) up until the band reformed in 1984, this was the last
recorded sound of Purple live (Boots and earlier recordings aside). For
that reason, I always found it to be quite an emotional recording, or at
least listening, particularly given the obvious decline of Bolin, who died
almost exactly one year later on 4 Dec 76,( LCIJ recorded 15 Dec 75) from a
heroine OD. Concerto was meant to be fun. So was LCin J no doubt, but in
fact the opposite happens as it defines all that was so troubled and
traumatic about the band at the time, although Mr Lord was in superb form
(when isn't he !). LCin J stands as a bleak, grim testiment to Bolin's
unforgivable squanderig of his virtuose talents as a guitarist and song
writer. Happily of course, the band's story is not over yet, and I hope
there are more instalments to come, next of which will be the planned 30
anniversary performance of Concerto, in London, this September. BTW, Are
any list members planning to go, because if so, it might be an idea to plan
a "meeting in the meat" beforehand, and over a few jars of local brew, to
discuss this special occasion !!

Here is one I'd love to hear live: "RED BAT BLUE"
Just came back from a great vacation in Lagow, Poland.
A local band there was almost daily rehearsing Red Bat Blue.
Sometimes a 30 minutes version. It sounded through the woods
which made enjoying the sun at the side of the lake even more
like heaven.
Nico.
