40th anniversary album/tour
ok in 2008 its purple's 40th anniversary. now i'm really enjoying the new line up and album long may it continue but come their 40th they should invite jon lord and ritchie to guest on the album and on stage (and film it for those who can't be there)
i know mr gillan says no to ritchie but he also said he would slit his own...
its no disrespect to the current line up but it should happen just a one off. for the fans PLEASE.
do we agree?

I think it would be a good thing ! Or at least they could do it like Motorhead did and have Fast Eddie play on some songs ! Don´t know why Phil didn´t play, but , something like that would be cool !

Re: 40th anniversary album/tour
This is from a pretty good source associated with the music/concert/promotion business in NYC.
Deep Purple are planning on one last record to be released in 2007/8 with a final tour in 2008. Discussions with Blackmore and Lord's management have begun to reunite them in some capacity. The specifics have not been dediced at this time.
The story I'm being told is DP want to go out on there own terms with a big final tour to thank there fans around the world, that would include Ritchie and Jon - MK2.
Hopefully they put aside there differences for a great final tour.

Re: 40th anniversary album/tour
It would be a vey nice farewell ...and I guess succesfull too ...it implies more money and it should be enough to convince DP management to be OK !!

Re: 40th anniversary album/tour
I hope it never happens. Mk2 were reunited in 84 and lets face it, apart from a couple of new songs, it was pretty dire. I dont want to see a circus act at the end of the DP path, especially as, I would probably have to pay a fortune for a ticket and by the time they would have got round to playing at a venue near me, Blackmore would have already left.
No thanks.

Disagree! IMO Perfect Strangers is one of the best Purple records ever. Their final MKII tour in 92-93 was, IMO, one of the best tours in Purple's history.
Bring them back together for a final record and a final world tour. Would you really want Purple's proud history to end with the line up of today??? As a tributeband to themselves???

a) Fair enough - though I disagree.
b) Disagree. Perhaps you just forgot/neglected the "imo" or "imho" ?
c) Why not? At least the clowns, lions & high wire acts might provide some entertainment.
d) Maybe, maybe not. All I can say is "Caveat Emptor".
e) Maybe, maybe not. In this regard Deep Purple would be returning to at least a form of the 'chance music' that helped build their reputation, wouldn't they?
f) You're not welcome then.
ps - All of the above response by me was posted with the feeling that Martyn would be camped out for however long it took at the nearest available ticket outlet to him in order to make damn sure he got at least one ticket! /
a)Nothing wrong with disagreeing, even though I am right.
b)Point taken....but I am still right.
c) I hate circus's, but Billy Smarts Mk2 was better than all Billy Smarts Mks that followed.
d) Er, nope, you lost me with that one...though I am sure I am still right.
e) if I'm paying a huge sum of money...I expect value for money.
f) story of my life.
G) ok...yea..I MIGHT get a ticket.
H) I have decided I will never be wrong in any way shape or form again, therefore, My opinion is the correct opinion, therefore anyone that disagrees with my opinion is wrong and therefore doesn't have a clue what they are on about.
