Hi Roger,

Long time Purple fan. I saw the band in Hartford, CT on the Purpendicular tour, and I have to tell you…the moment in “Woman From Tokyo”, where the band kicks in after the bridge, was one of the most powerful moments I have ever seen (and I have attended over 300 concerts in my time). Simply amazing.

Two questions: any news on whether you will be involved in the remastering of the Mark III studio albums? You did a phenomenal job on the Mark II albums.

You have talked at length here about wanting to play newer material or more obscure material; is there one song that you haven’t played regularly that you would absolutely love to add? Is there one song that you wish you never have to play again (or wish you never recorded to start with)?

Thanks for some great music,
Bill (a Connecticut neighbor)
