Got to see Deep Purple twice in a weekend on this tour, including during a raging blizzard in Providence, R.I.. Had to drive from Southern New Hampshire to Providence, and then home again so I could go to work the next day. Brutal, but totally worth it. Oh the memories.

I saw them in Ohio at the Taft Music center at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. Was a great show!

Tacoma Dome, still to this day the loudest concert ever held there. One of my friend's brothers buddies literally lived across I-5 from it and they could clearly hear every song from that show.

Remember around that time a number of groups had great comeback albums including Boston, Yes & Heart

This is a very under-appreciated album. There are a lot of great songs on this one! Wasted Sunsets is a deep cut. Under the Gun, Knocking at Your Back Door, Mean Streak...and others. Basically, the whole album. I had this on cassette in the 80s.

This is my all time favorite song from the band, I've seen them play this live and it gave me goose bumps! Thanks for reviewing it!

Instantly became my favorite tune of theirs the first time I ever heard it

One of their best songs in my opinion, I especially like Mr. Gillian’s “Man Bun” 😂

unique vibe,,,,,classic,,,,,🤘🤘🤘

NICE!!! One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. Love Deep Purple!

Hell yeah Bro... thanks to who ever requested this bad ass tune. 😎

My second reaction bud, & a fine selection of Deep Purple's Vintage Catalog

No mistaking that bombastic distorted Hammond organ intro! Nobody but Jon Lord sounds like that. I was 16 when this album came out. Talk about an album that came out of nowhere and just blindsided the world of hard rock and metal. For an old 70's band to come along in '84 and drop this bomb of an album was nothing short of amazing. The original lineup was written off as finished,but they got back together (if only for a little while) and just blew everyone's doors,proving they still had it. I personally consider it to be the greatest comeback album ever! Give the whole record a listen! There's not a single bad or weak track at all!

My favorite DP song.😂❤ Seen them 2 shows in 2018 with Judas Priest. Had to see it the second time because Deep Purple blew my mind😂😂 excellent shows.

My favorite Deep Purple album

That there is how its done🤘❤️

I think the lyrics may be about the inter-band relationships. This version of Purple, the best one IMO, had broken up a few years earlier, and this album was a reunion, so they were trying to mend broken fences.

My first concert in 1985, Long Beach, CA. What a great show and album!!

It has a middle-eastern vibe when it changes in the middle and end.

It is a awesome 🎵 👌

Great song and album, I saw them live on this tour in New Haven, they did most of this album, plus a generous helping of their best tunes of the 70s. Magnificent band, in my top 10, one of the all time powerhouses and looked up to by generations of Rockers. For more from the same album, do Knocking at Your Back Door, another all time banger. Enjoy. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶🔥

Hooked with that John Lord organ intro. I had to go get it. My copy still has the Record Bar sticker from back in the day.

a lot of fans from earlier DEEP PURPLE seem to dislike this album but i think it represents the fact that they are such good musicians they don t need to try to reproduce what they did

You’re not new to the rock genre anymore. You’re becoming an experienced pro!

Long long way to go but I’ve definitely learned a lot!

My favorites are Hush, Smoke on the Water, and Lady from Tokyo

…..this was their reunion album with the OG lineup !!! ❤️🎸🔥 Check out “Knocking At Your Backdoor” from same album ❤️🎸🔥 (1984)

Great song, great band! Saw them live at the Philly Spectrum in 87 during their House of Blue Light tour, Bad Company (unfortunately, without Paul Rogers) opened for them. I wasn’t a huge fan of DP from 80s on, love their 60s/70s stuff the best! ✌️

Too bad Deep Purple couldn't keep it together they could have done a ton more 💜

🤘😎🤘

I think it's Gillan towards Blackmore. They got back together after a few years and when they toured for this album they were 'nt sure how they'd be accepted by fans. They found out cause they had to add 2 and 3 dates to alot of stops. And when they were in Cleveland they played the Djays from the big radio station in soccor. And kicked their ass. Peace

Got to see them bout 85 at the texxas jam with the scorpions, ted nugent, bon jovi, and night ranger (sucked). Me and 5 buddies left from Fayetteville, Arkansas and drove in a mini truck to Dallas, texas with 2 cases of schafer beer and 37 joints. Ahh, good times.

No you're Right , the lyrics pertains to Richie Blackmore , Who left Deep Purple , leaving the singer for 10 years

Good stuff for sure, but not the early 70's great stuff.....

Not a bad tune, but most may not guess that was Deep Purple. Not much like their early stuff that sounds very distinctive with vocals and Hammond B3 Organ leads.
