Helsinki 1993 TV report

This report of the last Mk2 gig was shown in Finnish TV next morning, November 18, 1993. Gillan’s interview seems to have been done before the Helsinki show.

And, to wrap the things up, here’s another TV episode from that tour rehearsals two months earlier:

    Amazingly old and already widely circulated information, surprised I even clicked on this, I guess it’s here for former line up coverage balance or something?

    A close watch reveals an interesting psychological study: The sunglasses, gesticulations, inflections, long pauses of thought before giving stock answers–and amazingly prophetic comments.

    So DP is over when the oil runs out? They say we have from 50 to 100 years left. I can live with that.

    Ian forgets, if it wasn’t for Ritchie he wouldn’t be where he is today. Ritchie was the driving force in the band & got them where they are today. His guitar stands out in all the albums & grabs at your’e attention. I’m getting sick & tired of DP & the media’s portral of him. He is uptight & mad sometimes , but boy can he play. All those Rainbow & DP albums stand up & sound very good till this day. His work still sounds modern & fresh, it doesn’t sound outdated at all. Haven’t heard the Son Of Alerek in a long time , this blew me away & shows how good he is. The solos he plays are just amazing , nobody hits your’e brain like he does. Definatley the best or up there with the best . He made the hard rock sound along with Black Sabbath.
    Ian’s bad habits are never mentioned , what botherd Ritchie was he wouldn’t sing the lyrics of a couple of songs . He would just forget & then would make fun of the whole point to the audience , one of the songs was Twist In the Tale, in this interview in Darker than Blue magazine!
