Ritchie Blackmore will be playing the encore w/ Deep Purple at Jones Beach tonight

[Techdeth]

Oh good, a concert performed by desiccated corpses, excellent

Dude they can still play great corpses or not . Even Ian can still sing . You be shock if you heard then live

Have to disagree on Robin Trower, saw him last year for the 1st time and totally loved the show, he played and sounded great, he just released a new record so no reason to stop..

That's why you liked it, because it was the first time you saw him.
I saw him at MSG in '76, Shea Stadium '76, and dozens more times. The power and intensity of the band were stellar.
Now, he tours with his regular cast of pick-up players, who do nothing for his music. Everything is in D tuning and slow dirges.
One of my top influences but I gave up on him. I heard a cut off his upcoming album. More shitty tunes, IMO. Songs based on cheap shit riffs.

Nothing is as powerful as playing songs you wrote to a large crowd and they are singing the songs back to you louder than the band. I played in an Iron Maiden tribute band and the crowd was louder than us on a few songs, it was crazy!

There’s gonna be a lot of deep purple varicose veins in the audience, and on stage, tonight.

This is a full circle life moment and I love it. I'm a big DP fan and will be nice to see them put past issues to rest and have some closure. The last time they were together, Ritchie threw water at Ian and screwed the tour up:

This short video will show you everything you need to know, lol:

Hopefully Blackmore doesn’t wig out like that tonight

He threw the pitcher of water at the camera operator.

He threw the pitcher of water at the camera operator.

In the documentary, they said that was kind of the last straw. I mean he doesn't even "appear" until the solo. I think he had issues and he seems to be coming to grips with his age, mortality, etc.

Ian was a drunk asshole. Ritchie was just an asshole.

Well, in the interviews in the video, the rest of the band was pissed, as you would imagine. He came in in the middle of the second song!
