Welcome
to our Looking Back section, where we are following the progress
of the Deep Purple reunion as it happened month by month twenty
years ago.
The
Deep Purple Appreciation Society was following events at the time,
and with the help of news cuttings, interviews and pictures, we
hope to stir some memories. If you have any recollections to add
for the next issue of Darker Than Blue, do
get in touch.
MAY
1985: In
May, after a four week break, Deep Purple arrived in Japan for
their first reunion shows there. They did a total of seven, with
a run of four consecutive nights at the legendary Budokan in Tokyo.
Whilst
sadly no one thought to record the visit officially, it was later
bootlegged on "The Perfect Stranger" set. After this the band
again had a four week break.
