The double album Live from Japan was the first album my brother and I had ever bought. Before that my dad bought us 45's from the grocery store. We paid around 7.00 for this which was a princely sum back then.
On their return to the States, they got popped with pot in the drum set. Big stink, and they didn't come to Boise. I was PISSED! I had the cost of the ticket covered, what, $6-7 bucks, like anon said, princely sum. Had a buddy who's older brother was driving us. Yeah, real pisser. They were/are a great group.
Saw p purple in Bristol's Colston Hall in the UK in about 1972. We all had really long hair, but the skinheads were just starting. A couple of these skinheads were right at the front and messing about. The roadies were trying to get thm back to the seats, but were being ignored. Richie Blackmore came onto the stage, saw the skinheads and reached over and did something with the amp. Picked up his guitar, and strummed it. The 2 skinheads dropped like rocks to the floor Blood coming out of their ears. they went back and sat down. Brilliant concert. Ears were ringing for days. Still are actually, 53 years later.

A classic album from my younger days.
ReplyDeleteAmong the very best live albums ever produced. Every cut on there is better than the studio version.

Raw Rock & Roll talent that is as fresh today as 50 years ago.

ReplyDeleteAlso, D. P. would've been my 1st concert, but I caught Black Oak Arkansas when they hit Boise in '73 I believe it was, kinda odd, but a great show.
DeleteThey were my first concert. Saarbrucken Hall, Saarbrucken West Germany, 1974. I think it was 1974, anyway. Humble Pie opened for them.
DeleteReal Music! Thanks for posting this, Kenny.
