Wow! I hope Glenn's preparing the ol' vocal cords! This will likely be a test that the throat hasn't been through in a long, long time!

Great News! Great exposure- Good Luck Joe and Glenn!

Trivia buffs...it just dawned on me

It'll be 30 years to the day, when GLENN is in Bradford at Rio's...that California Jam took place on April 6th, 1974 at the Ontario Motor Speedway

Who would of 'thunk' it

Weissheim · #4 Jan-26-2004, 5:18 AM

Ho Hum - no Scottish date

Bradford is tempting, but a 3+ hour drive each way is not my idea of fun.

Chris Spencer - are you thinking of travelling down?

Three hours? That's nothing. How can you NOT make the trip? Chip and I drove four hours to the Coach House gig, then another seven up to Brookdale, then another eight back home. Three hours isn't even enough time to have to stop for lunch or a restroom break.

chris spencer · #6 Jan-26-2004, 7:00 AM

Well, what a surprise, nothing north of Bradford eh, not even Newcastle,
a well know rock town/ city.

Todd - you obviously havent travelled on UK
roads as u wont know that a 3 - 4 hour journey might only take in 100 miles !!!!!!!

very,very,very disappointed......
, another opportunity lost for G to make in roads in the UK following Legends tour.

If the dates were a weekend then I might just take the chance, but weekdays, gotta work.

(Weissheim - e amil me)

Dave.b · #7 Jan-26-2004, 10:09 AM

I,m just glad that there is a show in the North and Bradford is a great venue. I saw Glenn recently at the Rio and HTP previously at JB's and much prefer Bradford. Looking forward to the gig

captmidnite1962 · #8 Jan-26-2004, 1:52 PM

I just looked over the tour dates..Glenn and Joe are gonna be busting their butts on this European tour!! More power to them!! And to all you folks in the UK..I know you all would love more shows there...I am envious! Have a pint or two for me!!

As for the travel issue; the highways in the US largely skirt the large cities and most small towns which accounts for the fact that you can cover large distances in a relatively short time. I think that we take that fact for granted..and that Todd was not playing the part of the "Ugly American"

I am thrilled that Glenn and Joe are getting this exposure around the world..now if the promoters here in the States would wake up and realize what a powerhouse duo we have and make it possible for HTP to play some shows here in the USA!

Hey..I can dream..can't I?

Chris et al. I was just on MTM's site and at the end of the tour list showing London as the last stop...it says "More shows in UK soon ... check out for updates!"

Perhaps there's more coming?

chris spencer · #11 Jan-26-2004, 9:10 PM

Aye right Paul....ever heard or seen a flying pig ?

(Pink Floyd's Animals cover being the exception)

Have got more chance of winning the Lottery.

Weissheim · #12 Jan-27-2004, 12:11 AM

Keeping my fingers crossed for more dates...

Someone on the Deep Purple Forum has phoned Bradford Rios and been told that Rios know nothing about the gig, and furthermore that Rios only have gigs on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays???

Chris - I'll email you tonight.

cheers
John

toadsterama · #13 Jan-27-2004, 1:52 PM

Chris, you're right. I haven't ever travelled the roads in the UK. But if it's a three or four hour drive each way, big deal.

Now, if it's 3 or 4 hours to get 100 kilometers, and the gig is some 400 kilometers away - then yes, that's a big deal

Cheers...Todd

kencook · #14 Jan-27-2004, 3:12 PM

HeY Guys--
Would absolutely LOVE to see HTP in the UK. Never been to Europe before, and it's Kenny's birthday. What an awesome present!!!
We had an awesome time at the DVD shoot -- we miss everybody!! Met so many nice people, we hope to see you all again... Hey Capt'!!! Email me, I have your GH CD's that you left in the rental car!!!!

David · #15 Mar-20-2008, 11:39 AM

chrisloeb · #16 Mar-20-2008, 1:41 PM

Shirl · #19 Mar-21-2008, 7:45 AM

They're of excellent quality! Thanks David - yet another chance to hear Mistreated and a reminder of how good JLT is too! Wonder who Tom decided to speak to on his mobile?

supermazna · #20 Mar-21-2008, 8:28 AM

Thanks a lot for the superb videos, David!!!

Last summer I saw JLT live with Brazen Abbot in Bulgaria. He was in perfect form, singing for more than 2 hours Deep Purple, Rainbow & Brazen Abbot songs!!

purplemusic · #21 Mar-21-2008, 8:40 AM

thanks for posting those videos. i too wonder where the rest of that show is, as i'd love to get my hands on it. another unreleased oportunity for some good exposure for glenn ( and joe lynn ). oh well , maybe one day

purplemusic · #22 Mar-22-2008, 7:18 AM

thanks for the post, halfordvai. david just posted this somewhere on here too. somehow, this clip has been hiding in the closet somewhere and somebody must have just let it out

Nando Genestar · #23 Mar-22-2008, 7:32 AM

I always believed that Hughes Turner Project is the best project that glenn participeted in the last years. The two albums really rock!! and two voices are incredible togheter. I can't understand why they decided to separated?
i saw them in 2002 and was fantastic concert, really great. I love the two albums!!

Shirl,
my guess is that Tom used a metronome to play the songs as exact as possible, as rehearsed. Takes just a few seconds listening to the click track and there you go.
