cool, will check that out

[DavidLeeNatra]

read an interview with blackmore in the november playboy magazine (germany) where he says that he'll be "open for a last big concert"...he has nothing against his band mates but against the "old" management...if the management isn't involved "anything is possible"...

[Hardrock69]

Seems musicians have an instincive hatred for business peeps who rip them off while fucking them in the ass....

[Alex Mogilny]

I hope alot of other bands start following this trend. I've noticed there has been a slew of DVD releases since Zep did HTTWW.

Keep the DVDs coming.

BTW...HR69...I picked up the Hendrix Woodstock DVD the other day. It's fucking awesome. I also picked up the new Who DVD....I'll be watching that this weekend.

Hopefully this will be better than "Nobody`s perfect".

I don`t think it will be anywhere near as good as "Made in Japan".

But then again, what is?

[Hardrock69]

No shit.

Notice that I mentioned elsewhere in this forum that there is going to be a DVD of Rainbow from Germany in 1977, with Dio, Cozy Powell, etc.

I have had a VHS of this for many years and it is a great fucking show!
