Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Alas!, for all you “Glenn is actually Yoko Ono and split up Deep Purple” conspiracy theorists something to rant about!

I like it. You try singing like that.
August 1st, 2021 at 01:11The Beatles still rules the world as their music is simple yet so enjoyable and will never dies and they proved that you don’t have to take months to write a song. You just go to the studio and record it live.
August 1st, 2021 at 02:36I can’t wait to hear Glenn version of ‘Let it be’ without any disrespect to any musician involved
Peace
Adel, I share your enthusiasm but challenge your assertion that ‘their music is simple’! If you try to perform even their apparently simple early stuff, there always seems to be an unexpected complication, something which does not draw attention to itself but which is nevertheless tricky to get right. ‘ A – 123 123 123 12 12 12 BOOM Little darling…’ OK hardly early but you get the point!
August 1st, 2021 at 09:10Now that’s an incredible version of Let It Be!! well done GH, thanks for the link @1
August 1st, 2021 at 10:38Currently watching the new McCartney 321 doco on Disney streaming of all sites. I am lucky I have a borrowed access to that site only for that one show. Rick Rubin the producer at the mixing console with McCartney going through so many classics, explaining how, where, who & why. Brilliant. Cheers.
August 1st, 2021 at 10:43A word of caution everyone: the tracks with Steve and Glenn were on a 2010 release called ‘The Beatles: the rock biographies’. There are a couple of differences for non Purple artists a on my copy Across The Universe is performed by Jackson Brown, Molly Hatchet did Yesterday as well as USSR plus it included Fee Waybill doing Lucy in the Sky and Steve Lukather doing Hey Jude…I’ll stick with my version I think.
August 1st, 2021 at 13:19You’re right, Tommy, I wasn’t aware of that release at the time. Shamefully, they didn’t even credit Glenn (or Steve for that matter) on the cover!

August 1st, 2021 at 22:36My apologies as I only relied on my ears when I made my comments about the Beatles.
I don’t play instruments or read music hence I respect your point of you.
DP has wrote a ‘Simple Song’ but my ears were in shock of what I was hearing!!! It was more of a storm on a calm water.
Peace
@6, Spot on. As a Steve fanatic, when I clicked on to this I thought, wait. I’ve heard this already years ago. Off to my extensive album (CD) rack, and, look what I’ve rediscovered Titles be damned!
Peace,

de mieux en mieux décidemment ils sont en mal d’inspiration? A quand un hommage à Pink Floyd, les Rolling Stones,les Bee Gees???
August 2nd, 2021 at 06:48No apologies necessary Adel, I wasn’t criticising your post. Apologies from me if that seemed the case! I am no great shakes as a musician tbh! I play bass badly and sing in a local choral society, but have always experienced that ‘wow, what’s going on here?’ feeling when rehearsing a Beatles number. A good little combo, I think they could go far.
August 2nd, 2021 at 07:26Wow! What a butcher show.
August 3rd, 2021 at 12:11Jack Bruce contributing to a tribute album 7 years after his death is a bit of a surprise.
August 3rd, 2021 at 18:30Where is Gillan doing Helter Skelter?
August 5th, 2021 at 21:38Terence (14) Gillan (the band) did Helter Skelter on the Magic album when it was reissued on CD with 8 bonus tracks (the Bernie Marsden composition, South Africa and a version of Smokestack Lightning were also ‘new’) – is this the one you mean or have I missed something?
August 6th, 2021 at 09:55The tracks with GH and Morse and some others are the same of another Beatles Tribute called Abbey Road : Tribute to the Beatles, released in 2009.
