Hi Roger,
Firstly, I’d like to thank you for many years of memorable nights out with Deep Purple, especially a tour of Australia a couple of years ago.
My question concerns stage production. How much, if any, input does the band get when it comes to stage production for a tour?
Whereas the sound and the music have always been exceptional, the lighting and other effects have often been less than appropriate for a band of DP’s stature, especially in the last 5 years.
Hi Rog, sometime ago, on this site you wrote: “I have no idea of our touring plans for next year other than we will probably be in Europe around May.”
And here http://www.deeppurple.com.au/news.html I can read that a new album is expected in August.
Does this imply yet another oldies tour?, or will there be a reason for me as on old time fan, to spend money for the gig?
Heya Roger, Big fan of purple. im 16 and i play in a band which play alot of purple songs (Best things to play!!!) Now, im not here to ask a question about Bass guitar as i am a guitarist, and your choice as Steve Morse as lead Guitarist was the best Decision you could’ve made!!!, My question is When is DEEP PURPLE coming back to AUSTRALIA!!!???
Hi Roger!
First I have to say, that I like Snapshot very much. It brings a very good mood into my living room, when I listen to it. Congratulations! Well, unfortunately there was not much promotion for the album, it should have had much more attention, but the most important thing is, that it is that good!
I’m looking forward to the forthcoming album and the tour.
Hi Roger
Its that damn bloke who wrote the Rainbow biography here…(many thanks for your kind words and time after the NEC show too…) Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it.
Glad to see you’re considering a book too; if you need any help sometime let me know! 🙂
However, on to a question; Are you one of those musicians (who invariably seem to be bassists for some reason) who collects all the various ‘paraphernalia’ through the years ; the tour posters, stage passes, gig lists, stage clothes, etc.?
