I have loved the albums Burn and Come taste the band since I first heard them in the early 70's. Never getting chance to see DP was absolutely thrilled to discover Glenn Hughes touring and performing most of Burn.
I didn't expect the gig in Holmfirth to be such a fantastic show from start to finish. Glenn's vocals and bass playing were awesome and Ash on drums blew me away as did the rest of the band. I did record Burn intro but don't use a PC and can't find it at the moment, and sis is not well enough to help.
A very special night for me and my big Sis Shirl and one which I will never forget.

My brother Paul has been a serious H&T / DP III and IV / GH fan since his teens and yet was never able to accompany me to any gigs in the past, though he was blown away by PAL at around the age of 16. I told him some months ago that he had to see GH live before it was too late, especially on this particular upcoming UK tour, and was about to buy him and his wife tickets for a gig when he decided to surprise me with a ticket too.
I never expected to see GH live again. So much love and passion for almost all of his music over many years, and that will stand until the end of my time, but listening to the likes of 'Into the Void' and 'You Keep On Movin' on the Burning Japan Live album will always stir my soul - 'hello dude.' Cancer surgery, chemotherapy, and soon radiotherapy treatment have almost taken my passion for music; they've certainly taken my strength.
In our teens, for Paul it was most definitely the 'Burn' album. For me, even though 'Mistreated' will resonate with me always, it was 'Come Taste The Band.' My first gigs were with my brother, and the upcoming one will be the ultimate for us both. -
Have a great day David

Just thought I'd share this small snippet of GH singing 'Under My Skin' at 01.55.

I knew nothing about the interview but I do record BBC Breakfast every day so got to watch it later in the day. I thought the interview was well structured and it was good to see a BCC clip of the one song I love of theirs at the beginning of the interview ... in the past regular TV in the UK would have just played 'Smoke on the Water' for sure. I saw the DP mention simply as one would expect from regular TV, and the broader reference to the 'sunglasses' as again one of the obvious remarks about the way a rock musician is expected to look. Kept for posterity ...

Now I know what geosoulberlin meant by Tan Jing in one of her texts. I hadn't seen this at the time and thought it was a cryptic text!
Different.
