A consolation prize for a 3rd place runner-up will also receive one of these coveted black t-shirts

So, answer these 3 questions and one of the prizes could be yours!

1. What album were Deep Purple promoting at the time of the California Jam?

2. How many dates comprised the 1974 Deep Purple tour of the USA including the California Jam?

3. Which song in the festival's set list has only recently seen the light of day and is included on this DVD?

Simply post your answers here in reply and the lucky winners will be randomly selected from the entries received.

The competition closes on April 5th and the 3 prize winners will be announced right here on Thursday, April 6th, 2006! Have fun and good luck!

* DVD is the NTSC/All Region Code edition.

If we post our 3 answers "here"

they will be read by all registered GHCPs.

Which is OK with me, but...................

Shouldn't our answers be posted to: dands@ghpg.net

[David]

It's a free for all Grace with a random drawing, so all have an equal chance and saves on our mailbox too

So get your best Purple encylopedia out and have those answers posted here on or before the 5th!

...and what about ice cream?

...how many of those concerts have been released as bootlegs? which is the best of them all...which version of Mistreated is the definite? How was New York MSG show different to other shows?

[Grace]

Maybe I'm wrong, Tero, but I don't think that Deep Purple
(at least with our boy in the line-up) ever played Madison Square Garden.


The 1974 New York City appearance was the Nassau Coliseum.
Which may look like "New York" to somebody from Guatemala,
but it's half-way in the middle of Long Island.
('Ya got: Brooklyn--> Queens--> NASSAU--> Suffolk--> the Atlantic Ocean.)
So it wasn't really "in the city."

And the 75/76 tour appearance was in Radio City Music Hall.
(6th Avenue and E 50th Street in Manhattan.)
I went there a gazillion times when I was a kid,
to see the weekly stage show, corps de ballet, and the first-run movie.
Plus the Rocketts, of course!

I wonder what Glenn thought when DP MK4 walked out onto THAT STAGE?
Maybe the DP all-line-up reunion concert will be held there.


In answer to the other question:
Poor DC was spitting out flies.
Everybody else must have been just eating them as they flew around.......
or sang with their mouths closed.
And I've often wondered why nobody moved Jon Lord's equipement
closer together. The poor man was trying to play two different
keyboards at the same time.
Only they were about six feel apart.....and JL couldn't reach that far.

And we'll probably keep whining about ice cream,
until Glenn sells some to us GHCPs, at his current tour (?) appearances.

Well, i already have the BBC video, the new dvd, the Burn T-Shirt, and the CTC shirt, so im not going to enter

I remember the late, great Tommy Vance playing the first three tracks from the BBC video in a world exclusive on his legendary Friday Night Rock Show. i still have the original c90 cassette i recorded it on

Here are my 3 questions:

1.Who is that good looking guy is between Glenn & Chad

2. In that pic is Chad's jacket too small

3. Or is Chad's t-shirt too long

[wolfysmith]

yes, the book lists 27 dates but in the text on those pages it says "Burn was released to coincide with the 28 concert outing"

maybe its all a trick question from David cos DP then played 4 more shows in August.

Hey, dopey person...........
What about starting Lucy's "Hope Chest" with some good stuff?

Quote:

Answers:
1. That guy is the President of the GHCP Ax Murderers - British Division.
(Luckily, Glenn and Chad put up the bail money, so that this picture could be taken.)
2. No.
3. No.

Chad was going to a formal affair afterwards,
and his white cummerbund fell down.

If all answers are correct, does "Grammy Grace" get to win Lucy?



PS.........the picture of the person on the extreme right-hand side,
shows what happens whenever anybody tries to "elbow" their way
to the front of the autograph line at "A Glenn Hughes - Meet and Greet."

[jerklund]

Hello Grace,

...again I may be wrong - or the bootlegger was wrong, but

GH tourography says :

March 13, 1974, Madison Square Garden, NY, USA
Burn
Might Just Take Your Life
Lay Down, Stay Down
Mistreated
Smoke on the Water
You Fool No One
Space Truckin'

http://www.glennhughes.com/tourograp...le.html#740313

All the best,

T

[Grace]

OOPS!
You're right
I'm wrong
Madison Square Garden it is/was

(Cripes........ANOTHER senior moment.)
(Glenn better hurry up with the US Tour.)
(Or as Jon Lord might say.........."Before I Forget.")

Thanks for checking the facts, Tero.
Grace

[asleire]

1- Burn
2- 50
3- Lay down stay down

[David]

Grace/Tero - you're both right

The New York City (Madison Square Garden) show was on March 13th and then on March 17th, they played
the Nassau Coliseum, Long Island.

Come on folks, get those Competition answers posted, just a few more days to go

[David]

Just 2 days left folks!

If you want a chance to win the Deep Purple - Live In California 74 DVD this is almost your last chance.

Post your answers here

[tony g]

wolfysmith what is the bbc video you mention?

[wolfysmith]

Tony,

DP's performance at the Cal Jam event originally came out here on vhs as an official BBC video release. i bought it years ago when first issued. im sure David will tell you when it was !

its interesting to have because its edited quite differently from the new dvd . in fact i would say the picture quality is better on the video. you can also get "California Jamming" on cd .

[David]

1st Place - Chuck Hutsler from USA

2nd Place - Daniel Bengtsson from Sweden
