I was there that night. Deep Purples Perfect Strangers tour in 1984. Ian Gillan introduced George on stage as their contestant winner “Arnold” from Liverpool. We all thought Liverpool out of west of Sydney and what competition was this?? Anyway George strolls on and they jam to Little Richards “Lucille.” I didn’t know it was Beatle George until I read the paper the next day. I don’t think anyone knew who he was apart from some of the lucky punters up near the front of the stage. Great night and great concert.

Ditto. Still highly peeved I can't get Deep Purple's cover of "Ring Of Fire". That was the very first DP song I heard. I was in my car and had to pull off the road to listen to it. The only time I was affected like that was listening to Sgt. Pepper's. It was a cold night and I was breaking into a sweat by the time Fixing A Hole was playing. Bought it the day after it was in the record shops. Bought it unheard. I figured, if they put that much effort into the cover, imagine how the record would sound. I wasn't wrong.

Grand Funk and Motörehad are the bands I've always seen mentioned among the loudest bands ever (also Slade, The Who, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin could be extremely loud, and even Pink Floyd). Besides, before the modern PA systems, the guys were fried themselves by their own stage amps/cabinets, hence most of them ended up having severe hearing problems (ask Roger Daltrey, Brian Johnson or Pete Townshend).

Deep Purple Mk1 (1968-1969) who had Rod Evans as lead singer and Nick Simper on Bass, along with the core of Jon, Ian, and Ritchie did a great cover version of Help! off their first album Shades of Deep Purple, and "We Can Work It Out" off their 2nd album The Book of Taliesyn. Although their early sound was influenced by the largely organ driven band Vanilla Fudge the members of Deep Purple also acknowledged the Beatles as well, so George missed out on two great early DP records and a couple of Vanilla Fudge-like extended Beatles classics.

0:20 He meant Whitesnake band, he was very close with Bernie actually. And don't forget Ian Paice played on Cheer Down, Cockamie Business and Poor Little Girl as well as Jon played on Brainwashed record.

Remember that, from the point of view of someone who lived in London for so long (I know he was born in Liverpool), a neighbor can be somebody who lives 5 miles from you. (everything is relative). By the way, in Eric, s autobio, when he remembers his friendship with George, he says something like... "once I moved to hurt wood, we saw each other quite often, because his house was only 1 hour drive from mine".... (👌)

2 of the loudest concerts in my 44 years of shows were: 1. White Zombie that opened for Pantera (1996) 2. The Black Crows (1991)

My loudest was the Allman Brothers 5-show run at the Riviera in Chicago in 1995. After the first night I wore earplugs, but my ears were ringing for a month after that! And I've been to hundreds and hundreds of shows.

@Maximillano Gabriel. Yes but that was with their first Vocalist Rod Evans . He actually was the one who suggested they do the song . I won’t go fully into it about Rod Evans but he was a good Vocalist too even though Ritchie Blackmore thought he was at best a Tom Jones and couldn’t do harder edge rock which was where DP was headed . This is called Mach I Deep Purple . After his firing Rod became Lead Vocalist for Captain Beyond and made two cult classic albums with them .

@@dagnabbit6187 DP Mark I covered Beatles song because their most inspiration at that time was Vanillia Fudge who covered Beatles too, with the same spirit of playing it in a different style as the originals (as they have done with Supremes "You keep me hanging on"). And you're right, Captain Beyond was very good.

Deep purple was indeed very loud. But the loudest band by far I've ever seen is a band called "Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs." I saw them in a small venue, but they played as loud as if they were in a large stadium. People were literally running out of the building, and the ones remaining held their hands over their ears the whole time. I was nearly deaf for five days after that concert. Van Halen mentions them in a song of theirs.

"in a small venue, but they played as loud as if they were in a large stadium. " According to Roger Glover who was confronted with this "record" he explained how that happened, DP played in a small venue with equipment for a bigger venue, and that was the that they were made into this, nonfactual actually, loud band. I saw many shows by DP and their offshoots, cant remember having trouble with being too loud. I witnessed any other bands as well, some of them were really too loud.RUSH and MOTHERS FINEST for example. Even with earplugs in RUSH made it in 2006 intolerably to enjoy because of the volume.
