However I do fancy the consistancy and loyalty
of a bad show being much rarer do to the fact that
the mood king is no longer with them. 
I wasn't sure what you meant and left it alone. Thanks for clearing it up. The last show I saw they were extremely loud and very tight. It was a good thing to be tight and well rehearsed because if it didn't work it would have been a real mess at that volume. So I see your point about consistancy and that's one thing this lineup surely has (other than Gillans voice which can be spot on or terrible as you know). But when Gillan is sub par, the bands cohesiveness makes up for it. Notice I didn't mention widdling or woobling.

Re: Which type of Purple live shows do you prefer?
It's tough coz it will limit the number of songs, if it's with long jams. I wish I could have BOTH, but...
I love long guitar solos, it raises my adrenalin, guitar solos and sometimes keyboard solos are the ones that I want, so I guess, I wish they do long jams.

Very good point Brian,I'm just glad I didn't waste my time with the Skynyrd tour a couple of years back.

I love the long jams, but these days they have so much material they just have to do fewer of them.

Re: Which type of Purple live shows do you prefer?
THE BIG, LONG, GLORIOUS EXTENDED JAMS, THAT JUST WENT ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.
There is no such thing as a Blackmore guitar solo, nor a Lord Hammond solo that is too long. I can take 17 second solo snippets out of 25 minutes of material and incorporate them into my own playing, or at the very least turn them into brilliant finger exercises to help build up my speed and flexibility.
I'll go back to Made in Japan and Scandanavian Nights for the rest of my life, and when I'm 95, I'll be hunched over the organ with my walker and my portable oxygen tank and STILL finding new things to do based on what I hear for the first time on those albums. And even if I'm not playing, it's just fun to listen to the musicianship.
Anyone who thinks that song writing is only about first verse, chorus, second verse, chorus, bridge, third verse, chorus, end...is missing out on what made Purple great.
I miss the days where songs went on forever. What's more, I can be stone sober and still get off on it. What's with this silly notion that you have to be drugged out of your mind to appreciate extended jams? I think the people who feel that way, must not be musicians.
I mean for Christ's sake, it's Deep Purple we're talking about! "Hey Smokey! Where's the fire?" What are you in a hurry? Take off your coat and stay awhile!  If you don't have 25 minutes to spend listening to Mandrake Root, then I guess the 30 minutes spent at the mall is a MUCH MORE IMPORTANT use of your time. How sad!!
