Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
GLENN!!! WE LOVE YOU!
December 16th, 2010 at 21:07Nice to hear some Trapeze and even a little Rainbow, liked Trapeze even before GH joined Deep, Glenn’s voice is INTACT!!
December 16th, 2010 at 23:43Yeah,we have tv on Brazil.And christmas trees,and rock and roll and rock,,,
December 17th, 2010 at 00:09i didn’t saw the tv show but wen’t to his concert in são paulo..
awesome show, the guy really can sing..
maybe he should replace gillan in DP..
December 17th, 2010 at 12:18wow, they managed to misspell not only the title, but also glenn’s surname… bravo.
December 17th, 2010 at 15:50Glenn is the last one of DP family that’s still great in rock! Glenn is king!
December 17th, 2010 at 15:51A MK-IV reunion would be most awesome. The current DP has become very boring.
December 17th, 2010 at 17:28Great voice yes..but Catch the rainbow is quite irrelevant…but I suppose it was a tribute to Ronnie
December 17th, 2010 at 19:29The comments right here above says it all. Glenn is vindicated!
December 17th, 2010 at 20:22sings like a… could be in the jacksons five, (four by now).
December 17th, 2010 at 22:41Not everyone will like the way he’s singing and screaming – BUT: He has the best voice in the world. He’s 58 now and sings like he’s 20. And he sing sos soulful.
You have to watch this very awesone. Great Versions of “Coast To Coast” and “Medusa” as well as the little Raonbow Medley, surely with the late Ronnie Dio in mind.
Only Glenn with acoustic guitar. Wonderful.
Just hearing his Christmas CD aain.
Merry christmas to all Deep Purple and glenn Hughes Fans.

December 18th, 2010 at 09:31– it sounds like a parody!
December 18th, 2010 at 11:48@9 vindicate: to clear of accusation or blame
Never thought of it that way but, I guess I blamed GH’s whooping and screaming for some bad DP shows in MK III & IV, who wouldn’t like to redo at least a few things from the seventies?? 🙂
vindicated – absolutely (could use a new hair stylist though…lol)
December 18th, 2010 at 13:58cheers
Always hate the Michael Jackson outings by Glenn.
Appearantly he thinks different.
Pity, without he is a GOD!!!!
This week I finally received my CTTB vinyl and yesterday I read about Black Country Communions plans in Classic Rock magazine.
It says , for example, that they have cleared their 2011 agenda to put maximum effort and focus into BCC.
Great decision and I m looking forward with much anticipation now guys.
Cheers, Mark
December 18th, 2010 at 15:48Gleen Hughes sempre foi e sempre será inferior a Ian Gillan. Este Glenn Hughes é uma piada. KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 18th, 2010 at 17:48Ok Bronx.Já deu sua opinião.Agora volte ao normal.Acho que ninguem fez tal comparação aqui.
December 18th, 2010 at 19:19“jantchc says:

Maybe you are drunk….
December 19th, 2010 at 00:45You know, Xmas time.
Why don’t they employ this man to sweeten the grapes on the Vine to make a vintage ‘Out of this world’ – but I guess a recording played at volume would do the job adequately!
Makes you wonder where Glenn & BCC could be in 5 or 10 yrs from now?
Would love to see Glenn join DP on stage & do Child in Time & yes Mr Morse – then Put it out on You Tube to make the performing world realise how High the Bar is set in the Musical High Jump of Live performance!
Respect & Admiration Glenn, Also for the TV host in understanding the ‘Black Country’ dialect!!!!
‘Tara a bit’
December 19th, 2010 at 13:23Catch the Rainbow,and i bursted in tears.Now,i can rest in peace.
December 19th, 2010 at 14:16Glenn looks like an old lady in her best days. Beat it man!
December 19th, 2010 at 14:58@ 17
Nahhhhh, I prefer Candice and the 2 sisters.
December 19th, 2010 at 15:48#21 yeah mister priest,i prefer the two sisters by far.What a beautifull duo.
December 19th, 2010 at 21:06Although Glenn is not to everyone’s taste, it would be difficult to deny that of all the Purple family–including Purple itself–Glenn has been the one to keep the Purple fire burning. His output has been both profuse and exceptional, be it his numerous solo albums, collaborations with Tony Iommi and others, guest appearances, or in the new Black Country Communion.
Glenn Hughes–more than any other–has kept the spirit of Purple-style music going. BCC has just put out an outstanding and strong-performing album and are ready to work on the next–amazing. And this from a new group with no pedigree other than loose associations to former groups.
I look forward to the consistent releases of Glenn Hughes more than any other member or former member of Deep Purple. With the possible exception of First Underground Nuclear Kitchen–which was well-recorded but not to my own taste–I have never been disappointed, and the Hughes catalogue remains among the most played in my collection.
As for this performance, with an acoustic guitar and lack of a backing band, his choice of tunes is limited but his voice is so powerful that he makes up for the lack of volume. “Medusa” is a good example. With no loud electric guitar and crashing drums to accompany him, Hughes relies on his voice to fill in the difference. These are difficult passages to sing–practically a capella at times and with the complication of playing the guitar at others. With Ronnie gone, Glenn arguably currently has the strongest voice in the Purple family.
I suspect the on-screen “mispellings” are indigenous to Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation and conventions for the benefit of a non-English speaking audience. I wouldn’t put too much stock in that.
Black Country Communion holds the greatest promise out of the Purple Family. They need only to push up the faders on the Hammond and put more emphasis on that heavy organ sound (perhaps they didn’t to prevent comparisons to Purple). For me, “Too Late for the Sun” was the most exciting BCC moment so far, with the extended organ and guitar soloing to the tune of 11 minutes–something Deep Purple has been afraid to do on record but of which are perfectly capable. Who among us wouldn’t like to see Deep Purple devote that much time to a jam on an official studio release.
Keep ’em comin’ GH.
