    Of course I adore both Ritchie and Joe, they’re both inclredible… but it’s a shame that the solo in this version is far beyon the one on the original vsn! Really love that, one of my favourite from Ritchie!!!

    Satriani is a great guitarist, but only a substitute. He never was a DP member. Bolin was a genius, as good as Blackmore : listen for evidence to ‘Come stand the band’ !

    Anyone else heard the first few recordings from thate 1994, after Satch left, when Morse had joined the band on a trial period? He played the solo kind of like Satriani did here, but much longer. Poot sound, but fantastic recording. As much as I love Deep Purple past to present, sadly Morse doesn’t put much effort into this song when it’s played these days. No ending solo etc. :(

    Well, Satriani played a BY FAR more interesting solo in this song, then Blackmore did after 1987. I’m a big fan of Blackmore, but Blackmore sadly put often little effort into the solos in this song (like he used to). Listen to the ‘Third Night’ Live album, from Sweden 1984. OMG, Blackmore at his finest, but in 1993…there was sadly too much ego, alcohol etc. between Ian and Ritchie. Blackmore will forever be the #1, but I still go and see the band. Satriani, Bolin and of course Morse are great.

    Satriani himself will agree with you on that. That is why he didn’t become a full time member of DP.

    With all due respect to Satriani, and with absolutely no intention to offend, as far as Deep purple solos go , there is only one person who can get it right, Mr Blackmore!, not even Tomy Bolin –RIP

    There is a bootleg out there when they were in japan with Joe, “It’s called flying in a purple dream”, if anyone has it or gets a hold of it i’d love to get a copy. Joe did a nice Job filling in, but Steve morse has done an exceptional job…..Purpindicular is a great album…..Pick up live at the Olympia from 96…it wont dissapoint.

    “Keep on moving” is Bolin’s work (together with Hughes, Coverdale, Lord, Paise)

    People use the word ‘feeling’ to diminish a guitar player. All that really exists are different styles and ways of playing. As a long date musician and scientist I say. the only logical way to understand ‘feeling’ is to define. People think it’s something mystical. It’s only the way of playing the notes,your own sensibility you impinges on each note. JOe is a genius. I like RItchie too. AS a Member of Deep Purple, Ritchie really sounds unique, but Joe still rocks a lot.

    great opportunity to see Satch with DP, thanks for the video.
    I don´t care who is better than another, the idea was to hear Satriani playing Deep Purple

    It’s obvious Blackmore is THE definitive Deep Purple guitar player, but Satch is still the fucking man.
    I would have loved to have been at this show.

    I mean, Joe seems like an ok guy, not conceited and all, but I don’t get his type of “shred” playing. He’s an amazingly talented, technically adept player, but I have always preferred blues-influenced players much more-especially the British blues/rock guys that grew up listening to the old blues guys in the US. There’s more feeling and expression there-at least to me.
    You’re probably right about the no connection thing. Both Morse and Satch didn’t write the songs -thus the lack of connection.

    Satch has said countless times that when he was playing with Deep Purples he had no feeling for the songs because he had no connection to them.

    I respect Satriani’s ability, but as for feeling-he don’t have it-in my opinion. I like Blackmore’s version much better. It was done with feeling. Here this is just Satriani doing super fast arpeggios. This song had Blackmore’s most expressive playing, and Satriani makes this song silly-doing those arpeggios for effect and applause. Dumb.

    satriani did not achieve filling richie blackmores shoes,no doubt he is awesome solo,on the other hand steve morse got the point and the spirit of purple makes them sound great

    I don’t think Steve has successfully replaced Ritchie. Satriani and Tommy Bolin on the other hand replaced Ritchie easily (except that Tommy was too strung out on heroin to play live properly). The only 3 songs that I’ve slightly enjoyed from the last four DP albums are Ted the Mechanic, Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming and Any Fule Kno That. I reckon they should have kept Joe, or replaced him with a non-jazz fusion guitarist.

    I saw them in 1994 as well during the summer tour. What a fantastic band and performance. There was truly life after Blackmore,which I doubted back in those days before seeing this. Satch was on fire along with the band through the night. I really loved that they dropped ‘A Twist In The Tale’ and replaced it with ‘Ramshacle Man’, which they performed brilliantly. The improvisation and solo in ‘Knocking At Your Back Door’ was one of the highlights I’d say.

    Both Jon Lord and Ian Paice hated Turner, Turner has said it himself, and Paice have said he never really liked the guy, but he could sing that’s the only good thing he could find about him. Ritchie loved him, and Roger was stuck in the middle. I find it strange that you say Steve sucks balls, when he, Satriani and even Tommy Bolin, all successfully replaced Ritchie

    Deep Purple isn’t supposed to sound like Rainbow. It’s the weakest effort along with ‘Abandon’ (1998) and ‘Deep Purple’ (1969)

    Slaves and Masters was better than House of Blue Light and The Battle Rages On. It was like a Rainbow record that happened to feature Jon Lord and Ian Paice. I’d rather Deep Purple with Joe Lynn Turner than with Steve Morse. Steve Morse sucks balls

    What a good memories! I was at their concert in Germany 4 days later after this gig…It was my first “big” concert I`ve ever been, and seing Satch with Deep Purple + Uriah Heep as a warm up act totally blew my mind..

    ok , but for a fan , it’s a great and unique experience t osee it on stage . Blackmore is a legend , Satriani the guitar god .

    Sorry boys, but this lineup can’t do the song justice. Satriani certainly can’t do Blackmore’s riffs so he does his own version. It lacks the continuity and feeling that Blackmore had.
