A good Soundboard from the mk IV Deep Purple

remix on the 35th anniversary edition cd)

Whitesnake songs, which of course they

See How They Run...

A couple of Beatles compilations.

Titled "The Alternate Versions".

Covering the years 1963 - '68.

The band have just released

their final single to great acclaim.

Very strange that the two most talked about

bands at the moment are, 

The Beatles & The Rolling Stones.

60 years later...

I'm Just A Link In Your Chain...

 

An unreleased album from 2001 by The Majesticaires  
other wise know as the Company Of Snakes. 
Features former Whitesnake members 

Micky Moody,Bernie Marsden and Neil Murray.
It appears from reading the text that 

this album was a corporate giveaway to the Buckingham group,
a UK construction company's, workers.
 The recording has a light soulful blues rock sound to it.

Tracks 4 & 9 are omitted,they are available on other albums.

I'm Always Takin' The Lead...

 

Deep Purple BBC transmission tapes 1974 live concert LP bootleg.
A friend of mine managed to get hold 

of a vinyl copy of this

 (wouldn't tell me how) a few years back.
And ripped it to an mp3 audio. 
The sound on this is really excellent 

and in my opinion better than the official releases,

even though it's not the full show  
57 minutes of mk3 at their best.

And Watch The Band Kick Back And Play...

 

Now the word legend gets thrown around too easily 
these days but I think in this case it can be fully justified,

with an amazing career he is still 

treading the boards and with tonight's 

packed out crowd he will be around for a few years yet...

having never seen him before I was quite 

shocked just to how good his voice is and me 

being Mr. Sceptical I was on the lookout for any 

trickery coming from the mixing desk.

But no,he was truly singing live and it was such a joy to witness.

Not my favorite era of Deep Purple 

but performance wise tonight was off the scale 

and lastly at 72 years old after years of 

well documented drug & alcohol 

abuse he can still sing and look that good...

amazing... jeez pass me a whiskey and the crack pipe...

enjoy,Ed.

Ghost Rider,Riding By Her Side...

 

Gothic Rock...to be honest it's not a genre 

I'm really familiar with but I do like 

what these guys do,dark but with that commerciality 

that really appeals to me and make their songs very 

accessible but still with that doom & gloom the Goths love.

Packed crowd tonight

in one of my favourite London venues 

and looking around these Goths know how to dress up 

and I think I was the only one 

without any make up on...top night...enjoy,Ed.
