Only known FM recording of Deep Purple featuring Joe Satriani on guitar. Knocking At Your Back Door is missing on most versions of this show.
History:
This line-up came about after Richie Blackmore left the group during the European tour in November 1993. Richie had not wanted to reunite with Ian Gillan. Gillan had left Purple to be replaced by Joe Lynn Turner of Rainbow. Turner did one album and tour before the record Lord, Paice, Glover and the record company strong armed Richie into doing a 25th Anniversary LP & Tour with Gillan. Richie was actually bribed with $250,000 by the record company to do the reunion. The tour was very successful and The Battle Rages On album well received, but Richie's heart wasn't into it so he bailed out.
Joe Satriani stepped in to cover the Japanese dates but continued on to do a summer Europe tour. Joe was actually asked to join Purple after the tour. Reports conflict as to why Joe didn't stay. Joe says his contract as a solo artist would not permit it. In an interview later the members of Purple stated that although the live chemistry was there, Joe couldn't jell with the band in a writing context. Former Dixie Dreggs/Kansas guitar player Steve Morse was selected some time later and has remained in Purple since. Richie does Celtic folk music with his wife in Blackmore's Knight. The kind of music that you would hear at a Renaissance Festival.
