assistant: Hi Michael,
        I'm one step ahead of you Michael.  As a AVID COLLECTOR OF LIVE
RECORDINGS and a lover of the Wetton/Bruford/Fripp/Palmer-James KC I made
sure that this box was #1 on my X-mas list........
        Yeah Moonchild has that long outro at the end which does drag it on
alot.  But I still like that WHOLE ALBUM a whole lot.
 and the 80's K.C. got a
        Personally, I'm still enjoying the 60's 70's incarnation to even have
begun listening to the 80's or 90's KC.  Though I've heard that Thrak is
excellent.
        No you haven't.    I'm guessing that would be June 24th, 1973 at the
Blossom Music Center, Cuyahoja Falls, Ohio??????  I don't have a recording of
that show unfortunately.  It sounds interesting.  The Floyd had their
equipment stolen a few times during the early to mid seventies.  1973 was not
my absolute fav Floyd tour year.  Set List:
Obscured By Clouds, When You're In, Careful With That Axe Eugene, Set The
Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, Echoes, Dark Side of the Moon, One of
These Days
Dark Side was not really my favorite Floyd period.  I'm more of a 1970-1971
fan and I love the 1977 era too.
You should tell me about that show!  Do it on Netmail if you don't wanna put
it on the echo.

        I got it yesterday.  It does sound alot better your right.
        Well I had the old version of Red before and I still bought the
DEFINATIVE EDITION.  Much better.  But all my other 6 KC cds are the
remasters so not to worry.  BTW Fripp sure was skimpy on the Red booklet on
the REMASTER.  No lyrics at all.  At least all of the others had lyrics and
art or pictures.

Hi Marla,
Elf were Deep Purple's backing band for the last mark 3 tour that Blackmore
played on, and their line-up was : Ronnie James Dio (vocals), Gary Driscoll
(drums), Craig Gruber (Bass), Mickey Lee Soule (keyboard) and Steve Edwards
(guitar). As you can see, if you replace Edwards with Blackmore, you have
Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow !
As for as the styles go, yes I do think that the majority of Deep Purple's
material is progressive, and probably the first 4 Rainbow studio albums as
well.
I've also discovered that Rainbow released an album about this time last year
(in the UK at least), but nobody I know admits to owning a copy, so I don't
know how good it is, or even who played on it )-:
