What's really sad is that Glenn and Jason seemed to have a great working relationship, and a definite chemistry together while performing. It seems that Jason's concern was doing the tour and making almost no money. If he's got bills to pay, then he has a hard choice. I'm sure his heart was in California Breed, but we don't know his financial situation and the bills he has upcoming. If there are hard feelings now, then maybe the bridges have been burned and he won't make his way back. Seems a huge price to pay.

The bonus tracks on this have got to be made available. They should all have appeared on the Whocares cd. It seems there must be some way for me to buy the songs I am missing from itunes at the very least!

While the review tries to make some valid points, the fact remains that the album is a scorcher and sounds great!

Sounds interesting!

The two musicians whose deaths have had a personal impact on me are Ronnie and Jon Lord. I guess they were such a part of my life for so long that it seems that I miss them every day and I never even met them. Others like Bolin I view as a tragic loss but with Dio and Lord it has stayed with me in a personal way.

Any fans of Peter Goalby here? He had a great voice, and I do play his Trapeze stuff often along with the Heep albums.

Burning Japan Live is just incredible!

Some others I love :
Deep Purple Made in Japan
Black Sabbath Live Evil
Hawkwind Space Ritual
Humble Pie Rockin the Fillmore
Thin Lizzy One Night Only (loved Sykes on this one - nice tribute)
April Wine Live
Uriah Heep Live
Yngwie Malmsteen Trial by Fire Live in Leningrad
Scorpions Tokyo Tapes
Rainbow Live Between the Eyes
Gary Moore Rockin Every Night Live in Japan

So the new guy is Joel Hoekstra... Anybody familiar with him? I see he's been in Night Ranger but I've never heard him play. I remember DC tweeting that he wanted somebody who could sing and play, so I'm looking forward to hearing Joel in Whitesnake soon.

Deep Purple is sadly unappreciated in US and Canada right now. I saw them live last year and they were awesome but the fans there only wanted the old songs. I was wanting to hear some more of the new songs played live

Actually what I'd encourage is for Glenn to add either one of these songs to the setlist when he's playing: " Catch the Rainbow" or "Rainbow Eyes". It'd be a nice tribute to Ronnie and Glenn would kill those songs live.

I'd love to hear more obscure songs live - there are so many great songs that Glenn has done in his solo career and with various projects. What about "Still Evergreen" by Voodoo Hill for instance?

I just signed up, so I'm a few days late to wish Glenn happy birthday. I've been a major fan since Deep Purple days, but when I heard "Blues" album (back when it was released) I was blown away with Glenn's talent. Have been a collector and lifelong fan since.
