Re: Jon's Role In Whitesnake
I did a bit of digging to see if I could find an "official" reunion date (although admittedly not much). The only thing I've found so far is from the online version of Darker Than Blue 29.
"On or around April 18th 1984 the five members of Deep Purple Mk 2 met up at the offices of Thames Talent over in New York, and a contract was signed for the band to reform."

Well I'll be goddamned....not my 17th birthday but the day before. I was already a burgeoning DP and Rainbow fan, having seen Blackmore for the first time six months before this date....Nice present!

Re: Jon's Role In Whitesnake
Similar story JohnH, the official announcement ( of something I never dreamed would happen ) was on the Friday Rock Show on April 27th - my 17th birthday!
