Got drawn in to this last night and enjoyed it.

Good programme we enjoyed it too.
A sort of overwhelming melancholy prevailed. These last scenes in the small dressing room particularly - the photocopied name on the door - still having hits...in Norway.

Watched this and agree it was interesting.
I saw him once only as I'm not a fan. He was middle billing at Knebworth 1985 .. the Deep Purple MKII reunion and was getting rather annoyed because he wasn't being taken as seriously as he thought he should be and started getting really stroppy with the crowd. This the same crowd who had coughed up hard earned funds to be there and had to put up with standing in ankle deep mud for most of the day. Of course once he started his bitching some of that mud ended up on the stage with the fantastic result that in the build up to the finale of Bat Out of Hell he slipped and fell. Load of padding so no damage done other to the ego but massive cheers all round - bigger than for Ritchie showing up in his wellies. Ah those were the days.
