the media and casual fan only know the classic mk2/3 material history, true fans in my opinion value all eras and line ups.
let's face it Purple have never done a 'bad' album, some don't like Slaves and Masters, Come taste the band or maybe the House of blue light especially, but in my opinion each of those, and all the others, have a certain level of performance and song writing quality.
Agreed.
I like all Purple line-ups, but there are lineups that I like more than the other formation and I am also open to changing the current line-up.

Re: MK I vs Current line up
I'm a true fan I like(d) all line-ups. Have every album, but since Gillian's return after S&M I started losing interest.
All line-ups with Morse bore me to death. Not that he is a bad guitarist, not at all, but the music is mostly mid paced and the guitarwork is (mostly) very predictable and the vocals are mediocre. Gillan was a great singer, still like the tone of his voice, but he's a pale shadow of the singer he once was.
On every album there are just a few songs I really like..

I have it strictly opposite - when I discovered DP in early 00s and went through DP catalog in retrospect, I loved Perfect Strangers (I always say that definitional classic Purple track for me is Perfect Strangers, not Smoke or Highway Star) and then I was shocked what band actually did release on The House Of Blue Light and then on Slaves&Masters later - especially the second one didnt sound like Deep Purple at all! When IG came back for The Battle Rages On, "band soundwise" it was follow-up for Strangers to me, THBOL and S&M always sounded like nonsense diversion to difficult one-way "let´s become commercial band" road. After that I loved Purpendicular because of its variety and tracks like SIFLS, Loosen My Strings, Aviator,... to "typical" Purple stuff like Cascades. Abandon was difficult one - as I hated it at first moment but changed my mind about that record after some period, but it took me quite a long time.

Re: MK I vs Current line up
I think it must be disappointing for fans of the Morse era that the band decides to play mostly the 70s tracks.
After each release (Morse-era)the songs of the previous album (Morse-era) are dropped in favour of the new ones.
And at the end of the tour half of the new songs are dropped.

Exactly why I quit going.

For a true fan to call Ian Gillan Gillian I guess you don't like anything since S&M..
I can really understand that..

From all 53 songs I heard in live concerts 27 were "Morse" era songs, 26 were the other era songs.

Which is not only a problem of the Morse-era. After Machine Head MK II also dropped the new songs when another album was released, except PS and KAYB. Seems to be a DP problem not a Morse-era problem.

How many times have you heard the 27 Morse era songs in comparison to how many times you have heard the MK II songs?

When Morse was in, there was one more reason to drop the old songs.
