@pinkfloyd It was confusing. Had it's good bits, Brick, Numb, Run and then weird operatic interludes and dull depressing songs sprinkled through. Better now, you can skip the tedious bits. Not so easy on vinyl.
@HankQuinlan33 Hank actually you might be the idiot. I last saw Purple in 85 at Knebworth. Twas ok. Not a patch on the 70 - 76 run but it was made of all the 69 - 73 Purple members. So difficult to say it wasn't Deep Purple. I do agree CTTB was a great record though. Thanks for pitching in.
@glenn_hughes @DeepPurplePod Time to reply I guess. It was your band mates, Ian, David and Jon who all said the last shows were a shambles due to drug problems and that's why they quit. It's well publicised. Have supported your career all the way through though. Bought PMO on release day and many since.
