whitefang Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 There's been so many combined original members' deaths and other departures and personnel turnovers I'd consider the band touring now as more of a "tribute" band than anything else. Should perhaps call themselves, "KEEP PURPLE". Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryz Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Hope you get to go and enjoy the show Skip. It should be fun! Don't forget to report back! Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzilla Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 While I've bought most of the DP albums with Steve Morse on guitar, I have yet to see them live with him. Would love to do so before they call it quits. If you get to see them, enjoy the heck out of it!

d halfnote Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 [video:youtube] One benefit of having Morse as yer guitarist is he could also pilot yer tour plane ! d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkman Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 The current lineup is original members (at least original from the Smoke On The Water era) are lead singer Ian Gillan, drummer Ian Paice, and bassist Roger Glover. Steve Morse is on guitar (Ritchie Blackmore is no longer welcome) and Don Airey is on keyboards (the legendary Jon Lord died a few years ago). I rock; therefore, I am.

Delta Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I saw them in the summer of 14 in California. They put on a very good show. There's no doubt that Steve Morse is a great guitarist but for me Ritchie Blackmore was irreplaceable.

d halfnote Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Well, it won't be like this (really, gotta chk this)... [video:youtube] or this (chk 1:45~1:17 for some unbelievable gtr technique from RB) [video:youtube] ...but it might be a little like this [video:youtube] [video:youtube] d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertbluesman Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Steve Morse is one of my very favorite guitarists. I do not know if he fits in with the band like Blackmore. But I'd go to see them just to watch Steve play. dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Yeah, DBM, that'd be my biggest draw too. Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d halfnote Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 FWIW & BTW, can't get in to edit the post above but the ref to RB's "unbelievable gtr technique" should be [1:45~2:17]. d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipclone 1 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 I have had a strangely hard time tracking down DP`s music since Steve joined-don`t really know song or album titles off the top of my head. I thought at first he would take the band in a very different direction-love his music but RB and himself are different guitarists. I like what I heard live. When I get time I want to hear what they are doing on some recordings. Steve is one of the very few great players I got to meet and talk with, albeit briefly.

Delta Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 They recorded the album "Now What?" in 2013 with Steve. I think it's very good. Produced by Bob Ezrin and dedicated to Jon Lord. "Let me stand next to your fire!", Jimi Hendrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d halfnote Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I thought at first he would take the band in a very different direction-love his music but RB and himself are different guitarists. Yeah, but he was hired to be the gtr in DP, not to make them over. d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
