Deep Purple unplugged
Hey guys, let's imagine DP made an unplugged album, just as Nirvana did. How could it look like?:
Speed King
Hush
No No No
Child In Time
Never A Word
Anyone's Daughter
Fools (of course with cello solo)
Place In Line
Space Truckin'

Well - this already happened and will never happen (so to speak). Purple made three "unplugged" shows in the past but never in full line-up. First time it was Rockline show back in 1990 when an astonishing version of "King of Dreams" was played (by Glover and Turner). Then it was a longer do in Johannesburg (1995) with Lord, Glover & Morse, available on "Purple Sunshine" boot. And finally, one more Rockline thing (2001)- with Gillan, Morse & Glover. Paicey took part in none of those shows, as he claims that rock music should be played loud and should be "electric" - thus he's never due to play an "unplugged" concert with Deep Purple (that's what he told us during his solo visit in Poland in 2002).

Re: Deep Purple unplugged
Caertainly The Aviator, Sometimes I feel like screaming, Contact lost, Fingers to the bone should be added to that list.

Terrible!!!
DP's classics (as opposed to more recent rubbish) were meant to be played loud n heavy and anything otherwise would be an abomination. They have already taken the heavy out of the current equation. Take away the volume and it would make for "Nail Factor" elevator music.
Although I guess Soldier Of Fortune would sound good with a certain former guitarist and singer.

Re: Deep Purple unplugged
I could see "Anyone's Daughter," "When A Blind Man Cries," "Wasted Sunsets," "This Time Around," "You Keep On Moving," you kinow, most of the ballads move quite easily to being unplugged. Even "Lazy" or "Place In Line," as blues make that transformation quite well too.
It would be quite an interesting switch, as Hammond would have to become piano, and blazing electric guitar would become rapidly strummed woodbox!

Aye, but the real skill would be turning something like Flight of the Rat into an unplugged number!

Re: Deep Purple unplugged
Interesting choice of FLIGHT OF THE RAT. But still, I don't think DP needs to do this, and the whole UNPLUGGED thing is so over done now. These guys are loud (at least with the older material). The newer stuff ? I just can't see this happening. But of course the thread was started as "What If?" So lets not ruin the thought and try and think of songs that could lend themselves as a "quieter" version of itself. Hey, maybe they could go back and do group and orc again and this time have nothing electric.

Re: Deep Purple unplugged
You know my opinion about the unplugged format, but I won´t miss this oppurtnity to plug it again!
Eagles - Boring after a few minutes!
Eric Clapton - Incredibly boring!!!
Nirvana - Alright, but soon very boring!
Wishbone Ash - I´ve only heard a few second of it but from what I´ve heard it sounds brilliant!
I don´t think it would work with purple. I don´t like the overall idea that much, except for a very few exceptions and I just don´t think that Purple are one of those.

But it would be good if they´d do it like Blackmore "just to annoy people".

Re: Deep Purple unplugged
I don't think that Rock'n'roll music has to be played rough tough !@#$ hardly loud. Wait a minute. Don't you think that a brilliant sound of a clean acoustic guitar is also beautiful? And the piano instead of organ? I think this could sound perfectly good. That isn't music for fairies as you think. It's also rock'n'roll. And it still would be Deep Purple: great and the best!
