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

Well, there’s plenty of videos for people to watch and make up their own minds.
They may be old, but they still play great.

Glad you're still here, @CarlF

clip-on tuner: some on RT are not going to like that. he should have tuned up on stage with audio on

I remember going to Jones Beach as a little kid...it was a long walk across the hot sand to get to the water.

Man, I hate to say it, but Richie dwarfs that guitar. It looks like a cheap toy in his hands. But I love the headstock tuner, he's the Musical Legend living my dream in Long Island and I'm his economically unviable replicant living in a sleepy town somewhere and unable to shred worth a damn.

A historic reunion, after 30 years apart, and your takeaway is a microscopic clip-on tuner.

That doesn’t say much for you, pal. And in my book that constitutes you as an asshole. And it’s my job to point out the assholes here, so take your bow

FWIW, Blackmore was one of my main inspirations for learning to play guitar; along with Hendrix, and the Beatles...cuz I'm older than many here.

Eventually Page, and Kiss, became a big influence to middle school me, and why my first real guitar was a new '78 Gibson Les Paul custom and not a Strat...though I nearly purchased an Ibanez PS10 (I now own a Gibson Les Paul, a Strat, and two PS10).

Too bad Blackmore didn't reunite with DP when Lord was still with them. I'd always wanted Blackmore & Lord to do a music project together...

Carl, you are committing clip-on tuner dork on clip-on tuner dork violence

I guess it says a lot for the situational awareness of clip-on tuner dorks

Now that's the real what-if

Imagine how much more good deep purple we could have gotten if that was the case?

instead we've been stuck in this bizarro world with the cover band
