That surely is not true. In my hometown ever december the "team of the year" gets elected. Mostly a team, ins for what it achieved in the last season, which endet in the summer. And who turns up to get the prize? The current team ...
Then Mk3 should not accept awards (gold records etc) which were for Mk2.

Re:
BTW It was Ritchie´s decision not to attend the ceremony. I didnt know that Steve Morse got award which was made for Ritchie Blackmore  and Don Airey got an award for Jon Lord. AFAIK it was Vicky who got an award for Jon.  Neither of them (Don&Steve) got ANY prize, so this is wrong argument too...

And rightly so ! Why should either of those 2 be given a prize at a ceremony honouring Deep Purples influence on the world of rock music ? They joined the band around 20 and 30 years AFTER. The bands prime . Contribution to DPs legend ? ZERO,ZILCH ,NADA .though going by your logic they have contributed much more than Ritchie

So true there. I didn't mind seeing the current band play 'Hush', but it would have been nice to see Blackers, Coverdale and Hughes play 'Burn'. They could have gotten Lars to play and maybe Wakeman on keys. It would have been fitting, Lars, the big fan and Wakeman, the friend of Lord. I think that they would have done quite well. They all should have sat-in on 'Smoke'. Their non-performance was the most disappointing part of the evening.
