The family jungle revisited
Glenn Wellard sent us an updated revision of his version of the Deep Purple Family Tree. This new revision fixes Atomic Rooster (which had been mistakenly called ‘Arctic’) and links the Yardbirds/Led Zeppelin branch to the tree via Coverdale/Page collaboration.
And before you start complaining again, remember: this is just a one man’s vision on where to prune the tree. Nobody promised that it would be utterly objective. The main constrains were to include 50 bands/lineups (on the occasion of the 50th anniversary), and make it printable on an A1 format poster (that Glenn sells on Ebay).
Happy gardening!
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Hahahaha… nice one Centurion!… Like it, like it!.

April 26th, 2018 at 07:54Ps : Warhorse : Ged Peck ,not Ged Beck.
That is fantastic!!!! Great job
April 26th, 2018 at 15:49Great job, but what the hell have the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin to do with DP?
April 28th, 2018 at 10:17I like these bands, but in my opinion the only connection ist the respect of Ritchie and Jimmy to each other. The world’s best rock guitarists ever!
Well, the conection between Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin might be the 1993 Covedale-Page album.
April 30th, 2018 at 10:30@ 4. They both played in Screaming Lord Such……but not at the same time………Where is the Green Bullfrog project?
April 30th, 2018 at 12:18byron – thanks for the heads up on Ged Peck, now corrected.
Thanks again The Highway Star for uploading the Coverdale-Page tree option.
If anyone is interested, I’ve set up a Facebook page, Rock Family Tree, for discussion and news of future development of my family tree. Cheers!
April 30th, 2018 at 20:29Classic Rock Magazine has just released it’s May issue magazine…..and it’s the family tree of Deep Purple with 25 pages of rare information on all the members and bands that branched out from the group.
