Black Night Last Night !!
I was in my local pub last night and there was a band playing some old rock songs and I was enjoying myself even although I didn't know many of them. All of my mates agreed that the singer was a total Ian Gillan look a like and you could see he was influenced by him. They played "Whiskey In The Jar" by Thin Lizzy before havin a break. During the break I went to the toilet and on my way there i met the singer and said "any chance of smoke on the water" he replied "aye, nae bother" in his strong Scottish accent. So the show started up again and the smoke on the water riff started and singer said "heres a song that was requested, but we don't know how to play it, so heres a thing called Black Night" and it was a great version of it ! This made my night. The band finished with an incredible version of Freebird but Black Night was the highlight of the evening and after the show I asked for "Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone" and I was told it will be played next time !! I can't wait !!!
Thanks for reading my pointless story, but it was a great night !

You do realise I've just wasted 30 seconds of my life reading that?
Glad you had a good time!

Re: Black Night Last Night !!
These Purple guys annoy me, I hear them everywhere I go. Purple music is somehow always around me I couldn´t do anything about it even if I wanted to.
Anyway, glad to hear that someone who isn´t hunted by Purple music everday as I am feels delighted when the occasion occurs.

Re: Black Night Last Night !!
Well I found it interesting . The fact that any bar band would bother with learning these old songs makes me think that somebody can still come up with some fun and well played rock and roll . Cheers .
