I have great memories of the early days of chat rooms on AOL when Roger Glover and Jon Lord would pop into a Tuesday Night Deep Purple Chat room and hang with us for a couple of hours. I still have those original e-mail screen names saved.
'"Carry on, Jon"-- Ritchie's comment on a tribute video a few years ago- so very appropriate ❤ Lord was 1 of a handful of 🎹.keys players who was so unique, we knew instantly upon hearing--
That is my favorite album of all time. It is perfectly engineered album. The mixing is incredible, you can here every pic and squeak of every instrument. Hearing Ian paice made me take up drumming.
My wife and I were in Geneva two years ago to see Lara Fabian in concert, but I had to visit Montreux and find The Grand Hotel. My wife was afraid we'd be thrown out as I dragged her up and down stairs and along corridors to see whether I could work out where this masterpiece was recorded. I think I found the 'T' that's mentioned, but couldn't say which of, I think, three floors was the right one. But it was really special to visit the place - something of a pilgrimage - and enjoy a couple of drinks in the bar. None of the staff I spoke to were very clued up about the story. All a generation or two too young!
@@dplzkc6713 Do you mean the floor that would open onto the road on the lake side (I seem to remember shops there) or the floor with reception facing the street at the back (two or three floors up)? I don't think I was able get more than two floors down from reception, so I might just have to be satisfied with having been in the same building!
Blackmore said that when the fire started, Frank Zappa interrupted the performance and said into the microphone, addressing the audience: “Don't panic! Stay calm! Get out in an orderly manner!” Then he grabbed his guitar and jumped out the window.

Lovely man Roger, extremely humble. Spoken to Simon Robinson on the phone, great guy.

Roger Glover is a class guy! It's wonderful to hear him tell "the story" in The Grand. Thanks for sharing this event.
Thanks. Great.

Uncalled for...shut up.

Is the building still open ?
@@snapascrew part of
The building is private apartments so not generally accessible, but you can visit outside and see the plaque they had put up.
