Deep Purple - Budokan,Tokyo (Deluxe 3-CD)2018 VBRak

The immediate success of what looked a virtually impossible venture was a testament to Joe's position as a guitarist's guitarist. Only 2,000 out of 80,000 tickets sold for the band's December 1993 Japanese tour were returned (fans there expecting Blackmore had been told of the change and offered a refund). Although presented with a recording of an October 1993 Stuttgart show in order to learn his parts, Joe chose to refer back to the original Machine Head album, subsequently pulling off every note impeccably.He was asked to continue as a permanent member, but was prevented by a combination of his solo contract (which made him unable to tour the USA with Deep Purple - and has prevented any subsequent releases of live material from this era), and by his own solo career which left him with less time than he felt was necessary to contribute fully to Purple. But it wont stop me from sharing it. I added a 3rd CD from a 94 show as well so fuck it, its Deluxed.

Ritchie Blackmore on Joe Satriani: If You’re Always Playing the Correct Notes, There’s Something Wrong
(But that's not to say that he isn't a very brilliant player, Blackmore added.)

Lord, Paice and Glover (and the record company) wanted Joe Lynn Turner out 
and Gillan back. So Blackmore left and we get...
