Dislocated in the Clouds
Gillan/Glover album Accidentally On Purpose remains one of the most unique works in the Purple family. Here are some video clips from that period.
Dislocated live in the studio:
Lipsyncing to the Clouds and Rain on German TV:
Via Miami
Thanks to seth53 for the upload and to Oleg N for bringing it to the public attention.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
I still don’t understand what that project was all about?
March 17th, 2009 at 03:28I know that purple members were not satisfide with horrible album (House of the blue light) but this one was even more horrible. I opinion is that, good friends Gillan & Glover wanted to lossen up a bit from monotony of the 80’s albums and reputation. Never the less it had two really fantastic tracks on it (which represanted the real rock/blues influence that G&G have) a those were:
I Can’t Dance To That and I Thought No.
Which Gillan included in his solo tours during the years 1989 (he toured as Garth Rockett & The Moonshiners) and 1990 which was one of the best years in his solo carrier.
Even Steve Morris when he played I Can’t Dance To That, made a intro with riff ot Hendrix’s Voodoo Chile.
And that was a very fine period for Gillan’s carrier.
This album needs a remastering job done pronto, absolutely fantastic piece of work. One of the best in the purple canon!
March 17th, 2009 at 08:38This one and the equally fantastic “Malice in wonderland” by Paice, Ashton and Lord.
March 17th, 2009 at 08:46fantastic album!
March 17th, 2009 at 08:51What about this one?
March 17th, 2009 at 09:44http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na73LEcqpQ4
(A promo to “She Took My Breath Away” – probably best song on this otherwise lacklustre and uneven album)
Twenty Years On and still absolutely AWESOME.Through the magic of YouTube & the www. something I never knew existed but am so glad to have seen . Thanks to you both for bringing this to us. The screams during the Sax outro @ the end of “Via Miami” are VINTAGE! It made for great start to my day. I can only hope that “Morocco” is as good. Regards,Drdp
March 17th, 2009 at 09:48Great stuff!:) Even if this record was even more 80s sounding than THOBL. Some good songs it it though. And the link to Gillan’s new album is quite strong..
March 17th, 2009 at 10:23one eye to morocco is far better than accidently on purpose.
March 17th, 2009 at 12:03I love THOBL
March 17th, 2009 at 12:50I agree with yu korhan
March 17th, 2009 at 12:50Morocco is in some points more constructive project.
I believe AndreA that you love THOBL, but it was a really said commercial attempt. It wasn’t a true DP record, the only bright figure of the albums was Mad Dog (barely) but nothing else.
March 17th, 2009 at 12:57I hope that you listened the real albums from the 70’s, and maybe you will accept the fact that 70’s were golden years for DP (excecpt come taste the band).
My opinion is that the only album reunited MkII ever made (which was in some points a pale attempt to bring back something) was The Battle Rages on
I can only agree 100% about the Gillan/Glover album. It’s a great pice a work and I hope we have more of this kind of things in the future.
Then they can play ROCK (like in HARD rock!!!) in Deep Purple.
And please let us have all these films out on DVD soon!
March 17th, 2009 at 13:12Via Miami outstays its welcome a bit really – it’s about a minute too long. I bought, and liked, AOP at the time, but it’s dated very badly. I recently sold it on eBay. The standout track for me is Purple People Eater.
Perhaps AOP was an attempt to show that G&G could be creative without needing heavy-riffing guitars. Notice that the solo on Via Miami is a sax! Well, it sort of works…
Have to say I prefer House of Blue Light to Perfect Strangers. Just listened to PS just now and it’s very bland sounding, except for the two classic tracks on it. It’s similar in that respect to Pink Floyd’s A Momentary Lapse Reason. Dave Gilmour said recently he wished he could “take the 80s out” of Momentary Lapse. Same with Perfect Strangers in my view. Let’s hope the forthcoming Roger Glover remix does the trick.
March 17th, 2009 at 13:14I ALWAYS LOVED THIS ALBUM:POP GENIUS!
PARTICULARY ‘DISLOCATED’ AND ‘TELEPHONE BOX’….
VERY VERY UNDERRATED
I REALLY HOPE THEY WILL DO ANOTHER ALBUM IN THE NEXT FUTURE!!!!!
March 17th, 2009 at 13:16I have to add that Gillan looks like Gillan. Great “old” days.
March 17th, 2009 at 13:16I hate to be nostalgic Gillan89
You speak and quote about THE BATTLE RAGES ON ( that I consider more commercial than THOBL) but at the same time you forgive PERFECT STRANGERS!
oh my god..
I love THOBL and CTTB,
songs like “the unwritten law” ARE a punch in the face,
I like this kind of lyrics like I’ll rip your spine out, dirty dog,Roller…
You ask me if I heard about the golden age (70s)..
well..
what do you think?
ciao

to all the lovers of movies,
I am sorry for my digression but
as some of you know about me I have always approached my greatest 2 “heroes” of my life,Gillan and C.eastwood. I wish to say to you all (mainly to Annemie 😉 ) that yesterday I saw his last movietrack called GRAN TORINO..
that’s why I am not nostalgic, because these people still give me emotions that no one else does .
I wanted/wished to tell you this, I love these artists, since I was a little dampler…
I wanted to convey my emotions, as happens among friends, because you are a kind of friends for me,a purple friendship.
Keep On Rockin!
wishin’well
So,
Listen to
me
I’ve got a
warning for
you
You’ve got to
learn to take
more care
‘cos if you swim in
dirty water
Be careful how you dry
your hair
In a room within a room
In a hole within a hole
You’ve got to learn to share
your secrets
Or you’ll lose your soul
I’ve got the evidence
I know you broke the unwritten law
Another town another one night stand
You know you broke the law
It’s so hard to hold back
When the fire is in your eyes
A silver dollar in my pocket
I don’t like surprises
I’ve got your souvenir
Is that the price i’ve got to pay
It ain’t been that long
Since the last charade
I know you’re guilty
March 17th, 2009 at 15:06But i’m carrying the blame
I took out much more than i put in
And i felt the pain
In a dirty little room
With nowhere left to hide
You told the truth with your eyes
But you lied inside
???????

when Did I write/say it ?!
😕
March 17th, 2009 at 15:25#15 yes-Gillian’s classic look. A little “Flash in the Pan” sound with better vocals. “T” tuned me in on it back in the day. I likey.

March 17th, 2009 at 18:22Gillan and Glover…the only album I’ve consistently taken away on holiday in various guises from cassette tape to mini disc to MP3 player over the years and literally every holiday for so many years now, along with Steve Stevens Flamenco a Go Go. I have many happy memories of listening to various tracks in various situations and locations all over the world. Almost seemed like a musical backdrop. Well done to the guys. A proper reissue however is long overdue. Bring it on!
March 17th, 2009 at 20:03Perfect Strangers was my pick of the albums through that era if only for the title track. Nothing on House Of Blue Light or The Battle Rages On comes near it.
March 17th, 2009 at 21:47Only one’s opinion though
Cheers
Phil
I have this album…
March 17th, 2009 at 22:51It makes me want to vomit…
Sorry Mr. Gillan…, sorry Mr. Glover.
AOP was a therapy album for G & G after the disappointing HOBL-sessions, and although it’s good pop I still don’t like it…if in the mood I prefer Pink Floyd.
Nice clips though, Cheers
March 18th, 2009 at 04:22Got my copy of the One Eye to Morocco the other day, and it’s really growing on me : like the diversity & IG’s laid back vocals, and the band is as good as always.
March 18th, 2009 at 14:58Although Gillan’s Inn & Live at Anaheim were great, Dreamcatcher was a disappointment, so I’m very pleasantly surprised. Got to eat my pointy hat now, Kippis 😉
Don’t know if it’s good or bad, but my wife likes ‘Morocco’ too…says it’s entertaining as hell, and it’s nice to hear Gillan sing with a ‘blues feel’ rather than to scream his head off. Got to believe her, right.
Cheers to everybody, we’re off to our cottage for a couple of days to relax. Bye for now.
March 18th, 2009 at 15:33the clouds and rain is my fave.A pop gem!I real emotion to see the clip!!
March 19th, 2009 at 00:32I happened to like this record, even if it’s eclectic and overall something done out of pure fun. The Deep Purple rendition of Via Miami on the Concerto ’99 was excellent, if only available on audio.
March 19th, 2009 at 09:05Via Miami, classic RnR,cool singing!
March 19th, 2009 at 10:17This is an example where we can understand when Gillan claims to have always been a fan of Elvis Presley:
RoooooooocNrooooooooL!
AndreA:
His Presley influence shined even greater from the 80’s Gillan Band cover of ‘Trouble’……what a classic….
Cheers
