During RB's solo (where he sounds like he's bending his notes to stay in time) Nick's bass really thumps along.

I just thought a one off (or one song) performance with everyone involved would have been a nice thing to happen. My honest opinion is that adults in their 70's acting like children over things that happened 30+ years ago isn't a very good look. He is so much willing to move on after 20 years since his departure from the band, that he attacked them legally…. You still try to ignore this elephant in the house - Ritchie still acts like ENEMY to current band and then you say "maybe he felt not welcomed"??? This is just NUTS. He was criticised for not attending the JL Tribute. I simply stated maybe he wasn't welcome, or maybe he had no intention of attending, I don't know. Many other band's have performed one song at the RRHOF after many years of bitterness, I just think it would have been nice. Maybe not good, but a line drawn under everything. As others have said, maybe RB had no intention of turning up at all. nondisclosed_email@example.com (leelyt)Fri, 13 Sep 2019 20:24:30 +0000 Re: Rod Evans and RRHOFhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p519862,from=rss#post519862https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p519862,from=rss#post519862quote:Concrete god wrote: quote:leelyt wrote: quote:Concrete god wrote: quote:leelyt wrote: quote:Concrete god wrote: quote:leelyt wrote: quote:lightintheblack0 wrote: quote:ptr wrote: Would you invite someone who sued you to your own family party?

My honest opinion is that adults in their 70's acting like children over things that happened 30+ years ago isn't a very good look.

He seems more willing to move on, but of course I am not 100% sure of this as I am simply a DP fan who looks on from afar. I am not friends with any member of the band and cannot give you "facts". Whether RB actually had any intention of turning up, again that is something I will never know. I agree that he should have been at the JL Tribute, 100%....edit..but maybe he was made to feel like he wasn't wanted there?

It was the party of 1968-1974 DP, because only members from that time were inducted. So it was the party for those members, which to the best of my knowledge include Ritchie (a member throughout the period), and not Steve or Don. Also, pls note that the only other living member to have been with DP for the entire period was IP. Gillan and Glover, one could argue, were on the same level of Rod, David and Glenn, as each of them was there with just one lineup. So much for that being “their party”.nondisclosed_email@example.com (mtb7)Fri, 13 Sep 2019 08:18:11 +0000 Re: Rod Evans and RRHOFhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p519846,from=rss#post519846https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p519846,from=rss#post519846quote:lightintheblack0 wrote: quote:ptr wrote: Would you invite someone who sued you to your own family party?
