The lead singer Rod Evans started CAPTAIN BEYOND. I really loved that band. Around 1977 he tried touring as the Deep Purple band. And they were suppose to play at a local bar accross the street from my Apartment in Dallas. There was signs up promoting this show. But Richie probably got ahold of him and the tour never started.

Not many bands have had as many iterations as Deep Purple and remained successful. My favorite (classic) lineup is Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Ian Paice and Jon Lord. I caught them in the early 90s when by sheer luck (to me) they reformed and managed to hold it together for a few months. Ian Paice has got to be one of the best rock drummers of all time. RIP Jon Lord.

[@paulchambers9456]

Left handed,we’re the best drummers.

[@coolhand1964]

I caught up with Ian Gillan and John Lord at Sydney Airport when they were doing the 'Perfect Strangers' tour in the mid 80's. Had a chat, got some signatures and went to the gig at the Sydney Entertainment Centre a few nights later. Great guys and great concert. I remember the Sound Engineer was the tallest guy I had ever seen. But when you're 5'7" everyone is tall.😅

[@davsny5]

Fucking amazing, one of the best "live" recordings ever! My dad and I did a little singing in the car, when my sister was going to marry her husband and after 19 years and two children and a doggie they are just doing fine. Sadly, we lost both dad and mom too soon, but as Frank Sinatra and Arthur Flick would say, thats life.

I love this period of Purple: they started out strong and just kept getting better. I get the impression that the group themselves didn't care for the third album, but to have been written and recorded by such a young band there's some amazing, ambitious stuff on it.

[@mrcody333cam]

I love to see the progression of Deep Purple through these years. It wasn’t long after this that they really began to take flight and soar into a band that was just something incredible, in my opinion. Truly among the most inspirational musicians of all time ✌️❤️

Ian Paice is indeed, a “Mad Murricane“! He is an underrated drummer but then again, so was Mick Tucker from the legendary band, Sweet.
