  [music]
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_03: I guess we should probably talk about this Richie Blackmore story.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_03: You heard that Richie Blackmore
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: made an appearance?
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_01: What?
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_01: He showed up and played with Deep Purple.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: Was he trying to get some redemption before he dies?
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: This was,
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_01: and Jacko hit this on the head earlier in the show,
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_01: it was the biggest story of the week by far.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_01: But I think what was surprising about this Was that there really wasn't any buildup or notice.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_01: I think he literally just called them like the day before and said,
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_01: hey, you're going to be in wherever this was, Jones Beach.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_01: Can I walk on and do a song?
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think there was any planning at all in this
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_01: because they literally announced it like the night before.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: They could have announced this a month before,
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_01: moved to a bigger venue, and sold out whatever venue.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: You know, where did they play?
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_01: At the Northwell at Jones Beach Theater.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think they could have done Madison Square Garden.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think it's that big of a deal,
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: but I think somewhere in between Madison Square Garden and this place
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: that they played,
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_01: There's got to be a bigger,
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: there would be a bigger audience to see this, don't you think?
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but again, like you said, this may have been a spur of the moment.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: And with Richie's health being what it is, he may think he doesn't have very long to be around.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: And was thinking, you know, these guys are close to where I live.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I kind of want to make amends before...
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: You know, the lights go out.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: And I mean, he's old.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: It says right in this article, he's 81.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's digging the grave already.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's probably already dug.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Well, he's been having his health issues recently as well.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_03: So he went out, he went up and played one song, played Smoke on the Water.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sure Jim fucking took him three days to wash his fucking hand,
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_03: wash the jizz off his hand after seeing it.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_03: I'll play it.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's fine.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_03: It's the weirdest fucking thing.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_03: It's like, all right, it's cool.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_03: You know, cool, whatever.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: I just, I don't know how you get,
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know how you get excited about this, but let me switch to that tab.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_03: Here we go.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_03: And I'll put it on the screen.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_03: So here we go.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: Now there he is.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not really going to shit on this, but could somebody introduce the man?
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: They're just making sure all the settings are set up and everything's copacetic up there.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_03: How about the guitar tech brings the guitar out and does all that shit
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_03: while Ian Gillen gets up to the front of the stage and goes,
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_03: it's been 33 years, but here he is, Richie Blackmore.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_03: Everybody goes crazy.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_03: You know, and then they put the guitar on him and then he plays.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_03: And again, that's bad.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: I know that's Monday morning quarterbacking a little bit,
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: but man, he just kind of walked out.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: Like no fanfare.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: You would think after 33 years, you'd have, I don't know, something.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe take the lights down, come back up and he's on stage or something.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: Something?
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's nothing.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_01: Now these old codgers are who I would imagine playing in a church.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: And again, no disrespect to Deep Purple.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: Good for them.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: They're still out there.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_01: They're all, what, 75 to 80, you know, 80 plus years old.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_01: So they're still doing it.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: And they're doing it at a pretty high level.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_01: And the actual splat record is pretty decent.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_01: So they're still productive.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just like, This is cool.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: Like if I was a Deep Purple, like a big fan, I'm sure I'd be enjoying this.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_01: But it's like,
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_03: all right, there he is.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, again, you don't know what the discussion was prior to joining him on stage.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Well, he may not
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_03: have wanted it at all.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he may not have wanted that kind of fanfare.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: And with him, he's kind of.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_01: And eccentric like that anyway.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: It wouldn't shock me at all if he did say that.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's like, I don't want any accolades.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want any pomp and circumstance.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want anything.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just going to come out and let's rip through this.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and that's what they do.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_03: They just play it and then he's gone.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_03: All right, here we go.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_03: I thought he was blind.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I heard that he was losing his sight.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know how blind he is.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: This is me moving around the stage, all right.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: Considering if he can't see, that's pretty good.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_03: All right, well, here we go.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: He's looking a little rough.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, what the heck?
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: He's like grabbing his hand.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: I was just like, what are you doing?
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's weird.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: I was just like, that was odd.

  SPEAKER_03: It's like, what has he got, carpal tunnel in his hand?
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_03: He needs the other guy to strum it for him or what?
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I guess he's trying to show kind of camaraderie and brotherhood, kinship.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_03: See, me and Ian are friends now.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're old buds.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_01: We're bros. And that solo left, you
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: know.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: And again, I wonder how long it's been since he's actually played that.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_03: It ain't been that long.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, oh, no, that was Rainbow he was out with.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it wasn't Deep Purple.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it probably has been a while.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_00: So he's probably,
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: you got to wonder if he had to kind of relearn it a little bit prior to getting
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: on stage.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, I got to bone up on this.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's been a long time since I played this tune.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_03: I'll play a little more here.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_03: Here we go.
• 13:27
  Oops.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: That's a pretty big room.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: I can't hear you, come on!
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_02: I gotta say something.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_02: Couple of days ago, I got a message.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_02: I'm falling over.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: Couple of days ago, I got a message from a local lad.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_02: How come you're getting so much taller than me?
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: It's the other way round, mate.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_02: You're shrinking.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: I got a letter from this man saying, I only live around the corner.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_02: Do you mind if I come and jam with you?
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_02: And it was an absolute pleasure.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_02: To have back on stage, the founder member, the great legend, the immortal, Richie Blackmore.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_02: Thanks Richie.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_02: I have to say, it was a great pleasure.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_02: I'll see you in the bar.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_03: And it's a cool moment.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_03: I'll give them that.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_03: Last time we see them.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_00: Could be.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_00: You never know.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: That's one of those Aussie moments.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: Just wanted to come out and say goodbye to the Deep Purple fans.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_01: It wouldn't shock me at all if we got a message like two weeks from now.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_01: He's dead.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: I hope not.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: But I mean, would it shock you?
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: No, not at all.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I was saying.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: It was just kind of a weird out of the blue thing that all of a sudden he just wants
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_00: to show up and play with them after 33 years.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, is the Grim Reaper knocking?
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_00: You know?
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_03: Well, let's hope not.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_03: Let's hope that they find a way to keep him alive for at least for this whole cycle.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_03: And maybe he could show up and play on Whatever the next record is called.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_03: Squish or whatever.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_03: Squish.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: There it is.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: Richie Blackmore for one night only back with Deep Purple.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: Well, how about that?
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's what it is.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_03: Again, it would have been nice if it was cooler.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_03: Like, I don't know.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_03: And again, I know I'm picking for no reason, but it should
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: have been an event, don't you think?
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: It is a big deal
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: for this.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_00: It is a big deal, but again, maybe he just didn't want the fanfare.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: It just seems like it should have been a bigger deal.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_01: To me, it seems like they should have announced it even a week ahead.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and again, he even said, I got a call yesterday or whatever, and here we are.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know,
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_01: you would have thought maybe they'd say, well,
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_01: how about if we wait a week and we'll fly you down to Florida or wherever,
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: where the fuck we're going to be?
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_01: You know, something.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_00: Well, again, who knows?
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, who knows what his health condition is?
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, and that's, I guess that really is.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_01: I guess at this point with all of these bands, we have to think about those things, don't we?
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: Well, for a bunch of old guys, the rest of the band seems to be in fairly good health.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_03: No, they definitely do.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_03: Well, let's stay on old-ass bands for a minute, shall we?
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_03: Let's talk about a band that...
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: We talk about fairly regularly on this show, I think.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_01: We definitely reference these guys fairly often.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_01: And this band is back
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_03: once again.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_03: I can't believe I'm saying this.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_03: But there is a new Foghat single out there.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, how about that?
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: And guess what, Neely?
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: I know this is going to stun you.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_01: It's from a live record.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_01: Because that seems to be what Foghat does these days.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_01: It's just those live records.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: Are you due for another Roger Earl interview?
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, they're putting out a new live.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_01: I would do it.

  SPEAKER_01: Roger was great.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: I know.

  SPEAKER_00: You sent them that photo, right?
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_03: I did.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_03: You know, Roger was fantastic.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_03: He was a great chat.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_03: I would chat with him again.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm just like, all right.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_01: A Foghat single.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_01: Do we really need that?
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_01: Do we really need a live single from Foghat?
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_03: That's what I'm saying.
• 20:26

  SPEAKER_03: You wouldn't go see this?
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_03: You wouldn't go see Foghat?

• 27:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_00: When I worked at the club, we had Foghat there twice.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and then we had Dave Peverett's fog hat there once.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_00: And he tried to pull shenanigans that they wouldn't go on stage unless they got another $2,000.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_01: You were like, beat it, punk.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_01: Did you send him on his way?
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_00: The club owner said, you know, screw you.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_00: We'll just go out and make an announcement that you guys are holding us hostage here.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_03: Nice.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_00: For an extra two grand.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_01: So did they end up playing or did they leave?
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they ended up playing.
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_01: They were like, fuck you, we'll just play it.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_01: But you guys are dicks.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, basically.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_03: We'll never play this club again.
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_03: You're like, yeah, so what?
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_01: Well, there you have it.

  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_01: Sounds like Foghat.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I was going to say, it's really shocking how much it sounds like Foghat.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_00: Look up on the wiki and see how many members have been through Foghat.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_00: Do you think it's under 50?
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_03: Under 50.
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_03: Before I go there, the over under.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to say over.

  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to say under.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't know this to be, I'm just guessing.

• 29:08
  SPEAKER_00: or something that's had 100 people go through.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_03: Unless I'm missing something.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_03: They only had like 10 guys.

  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_01: Did he go back to victory or something?
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_01: I think he did, but I think he did because he lost the Foghat gig.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_00: That had to be a consistent gig.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_00: I wonder why he lost the Foghat gig.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_01: Giving away the catering.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he promised to give us some.
