Blackmore is amazing on this show but this was already remixed and remastered and put out in 2004 on Purple Records. Much better cover here but why are they marketing it as something new?

Blackmore needs to start playing hard rock again. He is totally wasting his talents playing Medieval music...

C'mon Ritchie. Plug in the strat and start jamming!

was and is DP. Ronnie Dio summed it up in an interview (can be found on YouTube), that DP is a great band, but it is just not the same without Ritchie. I agree with RJD completely. Steve Morse is an incredible musician (so is Don Airey for that matter), but as BB King sings, upon the departure of Richard Hugh Blackmore, "the thrill is gone.". Unfortunately, the man is pushing 70 years old. I highly doubt that we will see him doing anything edgier than a few renaissance purple covers during the remainder of his illustrious career.

I doubted Blackmore would do anything new as well...UNTIL>>>>> he mentioned on a recent interview that he "had been churning out the same old albums with BN" (or something like that) That marks the first time he has expressed any dissatisfaction officially with that project. Also, in the same interview he mentioned having recently spoken to Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale. He has had a troubled relationship with Coverdale in the past. Why would he speak to them now when he has been imposssible to get through to for years??? Why did Glenn Hughes go totally quiet after the BCC "Afterglow"episode and why does he mention being amazed at himself for "keeping his mouth shut" (regarding something "very big") on Twitter? There actually could be hope of some new project...Could it be with the three of them? Are these comments indicitive of something? When Ritchie says that about Blackmore's Night it means he is either stirring the pot for his own amusement or actually is getting a bit bored by it. Clearly if anything does happen it could not be as "Deep Purple" but who cares?

I don't think I have this album, so I'll be picking it up.
