And went to Captain Beyond!...Be interesting to see if anyone says Evans era. Hush was a tune
They had some darn good songs during that era. And The Address, Wring That Neck, Chasing Shadows…actually every lineup had its hits and misses except for the album with Joe Lynn Turner, which was garbage start to finish.Be interesting to see if anyone says Evans era. Hush was a tune
They did two Coverdale/Hughes albums with Blackmore, then he left and got replaced by Tommy Bolin for one album. Then they broke up, Paice and Lord joined Whitesnake for a while, Blackmore had Rainbow and eventually got back with Glover in Rainbow, and reformed Purple MK2 a couple years later for two well received albums. Then Gillian split and they released the career killing album Slaves and Masters with Joe Lynn Turner, who was a complete dick every time I met him. Gillain came back for one more MK2 album and Blackmore split and never came back after the tour.what was the last iteration with Ritchie Blackmore (or was he always there)
I saw Gillian era and Ritchie played slide guitar with a beer bottle. They were being thrown on stage. It was the early 70s and a very rowdy "picksburgh" crowd
I remember also Mick Fleetwood's red script Rogers set (I was near the front) so it must of been a double bill
Damn jda..friends of mine talked about seeing Purple with Fleetwood opening. Could it be?..you were within arms reach?. Wow.what was the last iteration with Ritchie Blackmore (or was he always there)

You are so cool you're almost frozen. A man after my own heart.Gillan - The album series from In Rock …to Who Do We Think We Are is untouchable
Wring That Neck is an instrumental! Anthem is the belter on Book of Talesyn. The whole album is like psychedelic Elvis.They had some darn good songs during that era.

But by far the Gillain/Glover MK2 lineup was the best. I don’t think it’s debatable, honestly.
Burn is better than Who Do We Think We AreGillan - The album series from In Rock …to Who Do We Think We Are is untouchable
It’s a really good album but it sounds to me like a whole different band. Which is cool and was considered the thing to do back in those days when a high profile bandleader left a band. And I use the term “songs” for instrumentals, too. And The Address is also an instrumentalWring That Neck is an instrumental! Anthem is the belter on Book of Talesyn.

Joe Lynn Turner era had Love Conquers All which is the best of a bad bunch.
One of my favourite Purple albums is Come Taste The Band.
But Who Do We Think We Are has Woman From Tokyo, which is legendary. Burn was a more consistent album, but hey, Woman From Tokyo, you know?Burn is better than Who Do We Think We Are
