The article from Sounds March 1976 about the final US tour is quite interesting, too.QuoteWith this consuming love for R`n`B in mind I suggested that Hughes might feel somewhat frustrated, playing with Purple.
“I don`t like heavy rock music, believe it or not,” he says, matter-of-factly. “But `Smoke On The Water`, `Machine Head` and all that is Deep Purple, I can`t change it. I don`t feel frustrated onstage when I`m playing, but I do sometimes when I`m offstage and I begin to think about it."

It's very interesting to hear Ritchie say he doesn't like to play funk and Glenn say he doesn't like to play hard rock but both of them able to do it so well. I wish I could do anything as well as they both are able to do things they seem to not like

RIP Tim Bogert. Gone much too early, like so many others

Music Scene from March 1974. "The vocal link is the thing" said David Coverdale in this article. How true!
