Great to see Nick playing Purple material with Don Airey from a different lineup. I'd like to see Glenn singing with Ian Gillan. Hope Rod Evans is okay wherever he is now.
Rod Evans can't do anything related with Deep purple since his comeback fiasco in the 80's (long story short : Rod announced the return of Deep purple with only him as an former member, did a show and there was a big riot, Blackmore and Glover demanded him and Rod was discredited from all MK1 songs)
@@matiasz6857 Yes, I've known the bogus Deep Purple story for at least 40 years, however I'm not sure Nick Simper was "discredited" from MK1 songs by Ritchie and Roger. Rod invited Nick to join the fake band but Nick refused to be involved with the deception. From what I hear Nick agreed to a buy out from the band, perhaps that is against future royalties I'm not sure. Good to see people from different eras of the band playing together. I would have loved Ritchie and Tommy to have jammed and recorded it, I know they met in 1975 but it was just to talk.
@@euanelliott3613 the buyout you mentioned happened when he was fired from Deep Purple. Rod Evans chose to receive future royalties, but Nick Simper chose to receive a sum all at once.
@@ferrreira As part of the settlement over the bogus Deep Purple band, Rod Evans was ordered to pay over $680,000 dollars in restitution! He claimed he didn't have that much money so he was ordered to give up his royalties from the first 3 Purple albums! Rod was also ordered to give up any future money made from the music industry until the $680,000 was paid up, which put an end to his music career choosing not to give Deep Purple management jack!
Agradesco a Don Airey exelente tecladista que hoy forma parte indispensable de Deep Purple, el gran apollo que le brindó como reconocimiento y respeto a Nick Simper extraordinario Bajista del original Deep Purple.

Couple of guys with ties to the band that recorded it and made it popular, and anybody can cover it if they dot their i's and cross their t's. Difference here is that they're not calling themselves "Deep Purple" like Rod Evans and his nobodies did back in 1980 (something that was also waved at Simper, and he was smart enough to stay away). The result there was a serious ass-kicking for Evans by Purple's management, resulting in his loss of royalties -- I thought I read that they'd quietly been restored a few years ago -- and loss of face in the eyes of the public. Wish I could find the interview I'd seen on YT about this, with Jon Lord's talking about how it boiled down to "He who steals my good name makes me poor." Don't know about Ritchie, but Don Airey works with Ian Paice, so I expect it's not a problem. 🙂 Personally, while I know Ian Gillan has a thing about someone else fronting Purple, I think that at this stage of the game it would be a nice gesture to bring Simper and Evans back up on stage at a show or two, let them play "Hush", and call it a day. It's not like they're going to rejoin the band and bring about a Mark I reunion with Ritchie.
@@jonblackers4339 Ritchie's mentioned the theft of the "Summertime" riff in the occasional interview, but do a search on "Bonus Episode #15 - Nick Simper Interview" for something from The Deep Purple Podcast that aired just a short time ago.

The guitar player is officially with Deep Purple now

@@benadam7753 always felt this was over the top, too harsh, unreasonable, ROD EVANS might have given us so much more.
Oh my God!!!!!What a great surprise!!!What great moment!!!Great Nick Simper!!
I'm amazed Nick agreed to play this but then again, Roger's been playing Hush for years too.
Yes
Nick has nothing against the Guys from Purple and made peace with the situation years ago. For him this is just a nice Little jam with some Friends.
Roger Glover also played Burn in concert with Joe Lynn Turner in the DP Mark V line-up!
Россия Вас любит !!
Nick Simper, great, the bass man played with Purple.
Mk1 Deep Purple bass player playing, mk2 Deep Purple song, awesome!!! 😊
+kissarmy305 You my friend, are wise.
With the Mark 7 Keyboardist!

I remenber Nick when he was in a band called Flying Fox!
A fine line-up I dare say! ;)
Who would think Simon and Don would be in Deep Purple in 2022
Yes, and Nicky Simper with them, so great. Three Purp's together
То же был на этом концерте. Классно ребята отыграли. Жаль что кумиры уходят. Наверняка будут другие, но таких нет. Спасибо за ролик.
Nothing is impossible in Russia.
The Real "Bass"Purple!!!👊
Why weren't you there ? It was a good show . I was there . 👍👍👍👍👍 .
No, Roger.
WOW!
So cool. I wonder if they did Hush.
Great with new Nazareth Vocalist
Simper with Airey?? what's next? Gillan and Hughes? (would be awesome actually)
Blackmore back for the final tour
Wish they would play mk 1 songs but guess it's good karma for nicky
Whatever silly russians say below....This is good rock'N roll and done with heart
The biggest mistake of the Hall of Fame, that they didn't accept Nick
Nick is there already!
@@ashnoyatrushanyan6599 Really? And when did this happen? On my own behalf, I will add that for me all the members of this group are in the Hall.

What does Airey and Simper have to do with this song ??? Do Ian and Ritchie already know about this?

According to Simper, he showed the riff to Blackmore as “Summertime” cover.
@@konstantinoskrevvatas Would love to see a source for that. DP "stole" a lot of bits here and there, were more honest about it than Led Zeppelin
