    Can Nigel Kennedy do any better… I really doubt it. I owe Ian Gillan a big apology for criticising him for say that DP is primarily an instrumental band.

    For years rock band turn classical into rock.
    Now there is a proof that DP can be categorised like Beethoven or Mozart as classical band turn rock music into classical…

    Long live R&Roll. Long live classical music. Long live DP family.

    Cheers.
    Richard.

    Anyone ever heard the classical pianist take on Highway Star?
    He does it as an encore.
    Incredible.
    It’s on YT.
    Unfortuanely I haven’t the link.

    @ 6 Nice to say that . probably in more latter years?
    Around the 1985 era he said that long instrumentals were anachronistic
