Thru the lens
 

All these photos would make a nice addition to the Photo Gallery and support the next million or so clicks. However, there are far too many to upload them. So instead I'll post some links.

The APA Picturedesk has a good set of photos of Glenn's career, be it Kings of Chaos, interviews, BCC, with Andy Fraser at Wembley and Purple days. Just skip the other Hughes listed there.

With thanks to Barry Goldstein, here we get some superb eyecatcher from Long Beach February 1976. Maybe the last pix of the US leg of the final tour.

Happy viewing! :)

Two of our heroes, both gone

Onboard the Starship and it's raining gold. Don't they all look happy and content? Great shot of MKIII.

Some excellent portraits taken by Ash Newell.

This is what Glenn says about the photographer

Many thanks to Barry Lombardo and George Barner for these rarities! :thumbsup:


The two Leo brothers

Besides Didi Zill, it was Fin Costello who gave us the most wonderful pix of the DP MK III/IV era.

I thought he is American and never knew how he looked until I found this little clip:
The first photo was taken during rehearsals at Shepperton Studios, England, in November 1973, the second during the US tour in November 1974 :cool:

Neither did I, so thanks for the video!

During the UK tour, Glenn and Søren found the time to sign some auction goodies for the charity organisation Children's Hospice Arts :thumbsup:

Another b/w by Fin Costello. Ritchie and Glenn at Boston Garden 19th March 1974.

At Nippon Budokan 1975

Glenn and Ritchie in New York 13th March 1974

MK III in a studio in Copenhagen shortly before their debut at KB Hallen December 1973. Photos by Jan Persson.

Even an agency like Getty Images isn't without fault. Glenn wasn't mentioned in the captions. Instead they claim there had been one Ian Gillan in the studio...

I love this b/w photo, taken by Eddie Sung from Morrison Hotel Gallery.
No date was given, my guess is early 2017.

Tommy on tour, reading an article about him in Creem magazine Nov. 1975 :cool:

Not thru the lens, but thru the paintbrush. Wonderful paintings of DP MK II - IV. Thanks to my Purple pal Jörg for pointing it out :thumbsup:

Today 44 years ago I rocked the Ernst-Merck-Halle with Glenn and Deep Purple :)

Glenn 2018 with UK cover band Black Country Community.

Superb proof of Glenn's acrobatic abilities whilst playing captured by Fin Costello during the US tour Nov 1974 :cool:

Advertisement from 1997. Oh my, Glenn really looks fierce here. Maybe the strings didn't keep what had been promised ;)

Dog with headphones and a few friends ;)

Glenn and Jon in New Zealand Nov 1975. Today is Jon's 7th death anniversary :( Never forgotten :heart:

Phenomena - Glenn and Kyoji Yamamoto.

"The Apostles of Blues" - Metal Magazine Argentina 1994 :)

San Francisco November 1974 - MK III on board the Barraclotha.

USA 1975 - Jon Lord, lost in music, while Glenn, bathed in sweat, needs a drink to cool down.
Terrific moment captured by Jeffrey Mayer.

Mid August 1973 - David Coverdale joins Deep Purple. Obviously Jon Lord is pleased what he gets to hear.

Trapeze at Club Lafayette in Wolverhampton sometime during 1969. Thanks to the uploader :thumbsup:

Glenn and Tommy at a Dallas record store.

The article from Sounds March 1976 about the final US tour is quite interesting, too.
