Ah yes, I remember. Wonder what they were like without the great man himself.
He was such a showman wasn't he.
First record I ever heard of theirs was Next and I was blown away by it.
Saying that though, the loudest band I ever saw was the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. That really hurt my ears. Spent the whole concert with my hands over them
That was Coventry Theatre too.
Yup. I was very young. I think I was 10 or 11. Coventry Theatre 1972 I think.
I just remember them being very, very loud. Really enjoyed it though.
When was Deep Purple in Rock? 1970? 71?
I didn't find him that funny, but he was a very good host and performer, it has to be said.
Not sure I want him to be a national treasure to be honest. 😂 Remember Glitter, Savile, Stuart Hall, Rolf Harris etc.
No, true.
I did think the second episode though seemed much lighter in tone and always came across as some sort of comedy caper. I stil liked it, but thought it was at odds with the first episode, which was much darker in tone.
