DESCRIPTION:
 
Recorded in November 2016, while Deep Purple were on some downtime, and vocalist Ian undertook this short tour with current Purple pianist Don Airey’s band. Oh, and an orchestra.
 
Deep Purple have, with their current line-up, recorded some fantastic albums and continue to work hard. Gillan, Glover, Morse, Airey and Paice are a tight and stable unit, and I’ve seen the current set-up live a few times and each gig has been fantastic.
 
This was an opportunity to go off-piste a little, and perform tracks Deep Purple usually wouldn’t. And although Don’s now a band member, he still records and tours solo (when time allows). Throw an orchestra into the mix and it’s a very different experience.
