Good idea. Cascades: I"m Not Your Lover would also be a great opening song. The instrumental part of 1st movement is just plain brilliant! The band really hit a groove!
And with extended soloing could be a useful breather for Big Ian before the big finale.

Good idea. Especially as it doesn't include Pictures Of Home.

Re: 15 years of Hushblacknight as the encore!
An extended Speed King would be a great way to finish a show IMHO

Re: 15 years of Hushblacknight as the encore!
I always thought MK Morse/Lord did a great version of this. Their version on Total Abandon is a highlight!

Yes, with Lord the solo section was still great, with Airey it would be probably a little less so. With Ritchie it used to be of course a highlight every night.
I think that another lost classic that could be revisited as an encore is Mandrake Root: I think Ian could still sing it decently, without the high screams obviously.

Re: 15 years of Hushblacknight as the encore!
I know that a few don't agree, but Gillan could probably sing most Mk II songs decently if they'd change the keys a bit. Nearly every other band does that, sometimes for every new tour, but Purple haven't done this - except for Perfect Strangers, Knockin' and Woman From Tokyo - so far.
Mandrake Root would be great, but as I said, the end of a concert is the time for the classics and despite being annoyed by the way the last hour of the set is designed, the people usually go crazy, because they know all the songs. If they changed it, they'd take well-known songs and Mandrake Root isn't really.

Gillan cant do justice to the classics anymore but with Speed King it would be the instrumental brilliance of the band that would carry it and SM,DA,Rog and Paicey are still very strong players.

Re: 15 years of Hushblacknight as the encore!
Mandrake Root is a great idea!! Blackmore/Lord had some amazingly long versions, never boring!! By the way, the version of Speed King from the 1993 Stuttgart show is, to my ears, fantastic. The interplay between Blackmore and Lord shows why they were 2 of the greatest musicians of all time!!
