Deep Purple playing Elvis (2009)
During Speed King's solo section, live in Athens 2009, the boys played part of it's now or never.
Gillan is sooo good singing this kind of songs.
I think it's very interesting and wanted to share with you, because it's so rare and difficult to find.
PS: around 05:00

What a shame they don't and probably will never do Speed King again...
I loved the long solo section and the rock'n'roll medley though they did it for years...

Big Ian was always a huge Elvis fan, cant say i think hes in great form in that particular clip though? his singing is a bit Off IMHO, a bit flat to my ears, I've heard him do this much much better

Gillan doing Elvis always suited his voice. Trouble and Trying To Get To You were both great covers by Gillan (the band). Shame they didn't do an Elvis on Turning To Crime.

Re: Deep Purple playing Elvis (2009)
Perhaps because none of Gillan's suggestions made in on the record ...
