I first saw Purple at the Sydney Entertainment Center in late 1984 at the start of their ‘Perfect Strangers’ world tour, they did three sold out shows, and I’ve seen them every time they tour Oz since then, hopefully we get to see them again soon. Anyway..... The new album ‘= 1’ (equals one), is due for release tomorrow (hopefully the same date here in Oz too). Three new tracks have been released so far, ‘Portable Door’, ‘Pictures of You’ and ‘Lazy Sod’. Go look at the official Deep Purple TH-cam page and you can listen/watch. Purple is still on the road and currently touring Europe (the only time they stopped touring in recent years was when everyone was forced to stop during Covid). The new album, will be their 23rd studio album too, plenty of track to listen to over their 56 year history since the first in 1968, there is way way more to Purple than just ‘Smoke on the Water’. *Ian Paice, drums - age 76, since 1968 *Ian Gillan, vocals - age 78, since 1969 *Roger Glover, bass - age 78, since 1969 *Don Airey, Hammond organ - age 76, since 2002 - (Don replaced the late Jon Lord when he retired in 2002) *Simon McBride, guitar - age 45, since 2022 - (Simon replaced Steve Morse when Steve left the band to look after his wife who had terminal cancer, she recently passed away. Morse was in the band for 28 years, from 1994-2022, much longer than Blackmore who quit mid tour in 1993) Still making and playing good solid rock n roll. Cheers,
Suggestions for your play list, perfect Strangers, the last performance of John Lord if you can find it, it's on u tube, and the entire Made in Japan Album will do for starters.
Ian Gillan y todo Deep Purple fueron, son y serán lo máximo para mí!!!!!

Early purple HIGHWAY STAR and CHILD IN TIME. He hits some high notes.

Thanks for that. Man, I hope I’m still kicking like them at 78.
