    Very cool to see “Battle rages On” again. A MUST SONG WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED LIVE IS….”SUN GOES DOWN” from Bananas. It’s the best song on the album and would come out great live. Come on US TOUR!!!!

    i really wish they’d lose Hush . . .

    duttka says:

    An “old-new” song on the setlist. At last The Battle Rages On. But I’m waiting for Anya…..

    George Martin says:

    Keep Hush! I wish they’d lose Perfect Strangers, I mean wouldn’t it be great to here after Don’s solo either Money Talks or Sun Goes Down. Also I read somewhere that they will probably never do Flight Of The Rat because according to Ian Gillan it sounds to dated. Add Smooth Dancer somewhere in the set list! See you in the states!

    A Bit Less Befuddled says:

    After all the Sony/BMG Birmingham NEC 1993 fuss…..
    Is this some sort of coded message?

    Looks like someone in this Band has a sense of humour!!!!

    Well done, Lads, a good and very funny response.

    PAL to all!

    They actually played “Battle” in one of Steves first gigs in Orlando in ’97

    fra says:

    well, to be honest “the battle…” was not a good one; they didn’t play it clear, and gillan couldn’t remember the words at all 😀
    he was reading the words from a big book on the floor (look at this: http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/1783/16lf8.jpg ).
    it seems they added it at last, after a chat with some fans during the morning.
    they played it at the soundcheck (the only one “test” after years), then they played it in the night.
    don’t know if they’ll keep it in the setlist.

    great
    but it is very sad the seems not to like to play anything from Purpendicular, the best album whitout RB…

    I know there is SIFLS ahd TED… but they are secondary songs for them =(

    ate least one of them should not be a option, but one more song at the set…

    Stev H says:

    Nice to hear that they get some older songs back in the set but Ian Paice did give a big hint at his drum clinic last week.

    ‘I also asked him about what tracks he’d like to play that’s not normally in the set list. He didn’t want to give anything away as he says there will be at least a couple of surprises during the upcoming tour but he did say he’s wants the guys to put The Battle Rages On in the set. Rat Bat Blue was suggested’

    This is taken from Kev Roberts review at deep-purple.net

    Eric E. says:

    “Rapture” will have been out almost 2 years by the time they hit the US. They should drop “Things” and add another Morse era song, such as “TED”, and also add a more obsucure song like “RAT BAT BLUE” or “PLACE IN LINE”. Problem in US is the ampitheaters they are usuually in greatest hits 90 minute mode

    Things over the years are NEVER done with the right attitude, I suppose……
    People are asking for “Place in Line”/”Rat Bat Blue” and so on for centuries now.

    Everybody knows the BIG SONGS are mostly from the Blackmore period.
    But, as least to keep some integrity, they should play lots more from the period with Morse…….
    And that does not mean crap from the Abandon and Rapture albums but their GOOD ones , espescially from Purpendicular.

    Otherwise(With Blackers, ofcourse, hehehe) I would love :

    Son of Alerik, Bird has flown, Smooth dancer/rat bat blue/place in line, hard lovin woman, the unwritten law, dead or alive, strangeways, wasted(…) sunsets, The battle rages on, Anya, twist in the tale, ramshackle man, a gypsies kiss, wring that neck, grabsplatter, ………

    Well………..

    You know me…….

    But it’s not gonna happen. Never! Maybe in a parallel universe? Beam me up Scotty!!!!!!!
