Yeah, but they were a 4-piece at that stage. I've got autographs from all of them in my leather jacket.This was one of my favourite episodes
Ooer! Did I forget to mention that I met the members of Deep Purple? I saw them 3 days in a row in their 1984 tour.
Apart from Ritchie Blackmore, who was an unmitigated CUNT that refused to leave the bar of the hotel to meet with his fans, they were all great.
Roger Glover was lovely & an absolute gentleman (even 'though he's a stinking hippy).
Ian Gillan remembered meeting me after a gig in 1982 & wrote "Lend us a quid or I'll rip yer spine out" in my book of "THANKS"
Ian Paice chuckled when I said "You're a left-hander & work one day a week for the devil"
The best conversation I had was with Jon Lord.
Each night, he played a different solo. On the last night, he played part of Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjuez during his solo & I told him that it felt as if he was playing it 'specially for me.
He absolutely beamed at me that I knew this classical piece!!!
