The Battle raged on with Satriani
I'm listening to my Purple Satch MP3s.
Ive seen bootleg videos of the above.
After watching CHOHW a million times, I admire Purple (as well Gillan, as he became the leader of the band) more than welcome the Spanish Archer for Ritchie...though the 'El Bow' was more than mutual between the two...
Gillan said 'screw him', and got out the 'blackbook'(Blackmore's blackbook has 5 pages dedicated to Joe Lynn  )
"Hey Satch, we need ya overseas, mate. Gotta finish the tour...."
Done and done!
Enjoyed Satches' work and look forward to future collabs with Gillan and Purple.

Re: The Battle raged on with Satriani
Personally, I'd more than welcome a colloboration between Deep Purple & Joe Satriani! Or, barring that - an official release of some of the fantastic live material that was done in December of 1993 or in Europe during the summer of 1994.

Re: The Battle raged on with Satriani
Satriani did a great job with DP. I also liked how he referred to RB's original recorded solos in tracks like POH and MIAL.

Re: The Battle raged on with Satriani
Someone said they did over 30 gigs together in 1994 - another said they clocked up over 120 in his entire tour of duty - they must have dozens of A1 top-quality recordings - I do not understand why IG has put such a crappy bootleg on his 'Inn' CD - and whenever I don't see the obvious point then I at least smell the $$$$ - I guess that is why they cannot settle on the release of anything...

Re: The Battle raged on with Satriani
MkVI (Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, Ian Paice & Joe Satriani) played six (6) concerts in Japan in December of 1993, then twenty-four (24) concerts in Europe beginning during the first week of June 1994 and ending during the first week of July 1994, for a total of thirty (30) concerts.
As for the one hundred and twenty (120) number, all I can think is that perhaps whomever said that was including dates from a tentative U.S. Tour that was (reportedly)planned but never materialized?

Re: The Battle raged on with Satriani
There's not a lot of money in releases of old live material. Or new records. Not if you are Deep Purple.
Touring is what counts if you want the money to roll in. DP is not popular enough to have a decent record deal where they get a big enough share of the pie.
How much would a MkVI live release sell worldwide? A couple of thousand copies? A 10 percent share of the profit, which is probably about what the artists get, is peanuts. A global marketing campaign for a new release would cost a fortune.
I surely can understand why artists choose to release records in only one market (f ex Europe). After analyzing the sales figures, the new (old by then...) release may hit the shops in other parts of the world several months later.
It's all about taking or not taking (economic) risks.

If that's the case then why are there 2-3 live DP releases every year?!
This album would probably sell more than most of the other live albums because it has singular value.

Re: The Battle raged on with Satriani
Of course there's money at stake. But most of it goes to other people than the musicians. Promotors, managers, marketing people, distributors, tax officials, customs, record store owners and more.
As I said, I wouldn't be surprised if only 10 percent of the profit from record sales ends up in the artist's pockets. You might get a better deal if you are Madonna or U2.
Singular value? Well, a release of "rare" material would not appeal to the casual DP fan anyway. The die-hard Deep Purple fans can be counted in thousands. Even if all members of this forum bought it, it still would not pay Ian Gillan's new teeth.

Re: The Battle raged on with Satriani
You're quite right about it coming down to taking or not taking economic risks regarding the official release of a MkVI album - I just think the economic risk is fairly minimal here. There's virtually no overhead involved as far as getting the live performances taped - there's probably at least 6-7 extremely high quality - in terms of band performance & recording/sound quality - bootlegs fairly readily/easily available; so, no tour costs, just artwork & packaging for the release.
I know I've simplified things here, but I think you get my point. Now, who'd buy it? I suppose to postulate sales of 1000 - 15,000 copies might be reasonable. Let us say that it's a double - maybe even a triple!  (that's a 'droolyball) - cd, priced at 16 - 18.00 a unit. Seems to me that someone's looking at a minimum revenue generated of $16 to 18,000 dollars (at a minimum) If we want to be positive and assume 5000 copies sold, we're looking at $80 to 90,000 dollars, a tidy sum for virtually no work on the record company's or the band & it's management parts.
Oh yeah - please bear in mind that this was all posted by a self-confessed MkVI SatchSack.

Well this year we've seen the release of Live In Montreux another MkVII live album from the Purpendicular tour, considering there are already 3 officially released live documents from this tour that doesn't have a lot of singular value, but it was released. We also had the Live In Europe 93 boxset which contained some material that had already been released.
So if they can justify releasing those then surely a live album from a line-up that has had no official material produced featuring a famous guitarist with quite a loyal fan following then surely that would have enough singular value to warrent it's release?
