I've watched them a few times the first being when I was a teenager back in the Cretaceous period I think it was. Actually it may have been them or the Groundhogs, Black Sabbath, or Led Zep that may have been the underlying cause of my tinnitus. :) I met Ian Gillian in Liverpool when I was working in a nightclub/restaurant about ten years ago. It was towards the end of the night in the wee early hours. We had had a particularly hectic club that night and as it was 2:00am I was rushing to get the bars stocked up again for the next day. One of my regular customers called me over to see if it was OK to stay in the quiet area and have another drink while the club emptied. I didn't really want to but decided to bend the rules a bit as she was a good friend. So I got the drinks served and the guy with her moved forward to pay and insisted I had a drink as well, which I did, (a large Jameson) just to be polite, I'm very polite when a Jammies is on offer. So I walked back from the business side of the bar and joined them. Shelly, my friend, then introduced us, she said this is my friend Ian and we shook hands. Shelly said, referring to my long hair, you might remember Ian from your hippy rock days, do you remember Deep Purple? I must have looked puzzled because she then added "he used to be the singer"! Had this been a scene from a movie, in cinematographic terms, the camera would have slowly zoomed in on my face, agog, changing the depth of field as it went with images of memories from past Deep Purple concerts fading in and out to the sound of "Smoke on the Water" I was stunned into silence for a while and eventually managed to mutter something like [b] [i] we are not worthy [/i] [/b]. Shelly took this opportunity to suggest "another round of drinks perhaps?" [b]Perhaps![/b] I leapt over the bar got some more in and had a good old chat with them both for an hour or two. Ian was a gentleman, well spoken, intelligent, and well........[b]ROCKS[/b] I'm still searching for a cure or at least something to alleviate my Tinnitus too. I'll keep y'all posted if I happen to find something that actually works.
