Which songs from SPLAT! should be played live?

Deep Purple and family
1

My faves are: The Lunatic, Sacred Land, Splat! and Only Horse in Town

My setlist:

Highway Star, Bit on the side, Sacred Land, Wrong Man, Guit solo/ Arrogant Boy, Lazy Sod, The Lunatic, Lazy, Sometimes I Feel like screaming., Diablo, Battle Rages On. Key solo, Horse in Town, Scribbling Gibrish, ST, Splat Smoke, Guinesses, Hush, Black Night

2

At the very least…

  • Arrogant Boy
  • The Rider
  • Splat
  • Beating of Wings

Buying the audience’s goodwill to deploy the above…

  • Strange kind of woman
  • Knocking at your back door
  • Ted and/or Sometimes
  • Highway and/or Fireball
  • Lazy and/or Space Truckin

Please, please, please retire:

  • In Rock stuff (impossible to sign properly now)
  • Hush

I could never see DP these days performing Ted the Mechanic or Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming. Those two songs and a few others particularly from Purpendicular, are so indicative of Steve Morse and his influence on DP moving forward. Not for anyone to cover in my book. Best left where they stand and they do stand on higher ground. Cheers.

I’m saying nothing, as usually when I do suggest a song will be great live, you can guarantee they never play it :rofl:

My suggestions:

The rider

The Lunatic

Arrogant boy

Instrumental part of Tripin

I hope Arrogant Boy from :splatter: since it is my favourite, hence 2:17 - the wonderful piece SMcB is playing there.

The Rider

Beating of Wings

Splat

That is enough new stuff for me

I"d love to hear again :

Sometimes i feel like screaming, Knocking.. , Wasted Sunsets, Mitzi Dupree, Ted.., Fireball, No one came…

…but never will

If I could choose one song, that would be Sacred Land.

I would like a concert with only songs from the last two albums, that mean Mc Bride era

As the questions was what songs from Splat!

I think - Arrogant boy, The Rider, The Only Horse In Town (a modern Knocking At Your Backdoor to me at least). I also think that Sacred Land and Jessicas’ Bra would make great live tracks.

This one time, Karin dutifully read the rider. Good girl and who says even habitual female delinquents cannot be bettered?

I don’t know Karin so I don’t know her preferences unfortunately. I guess my only hope here is that she’ll go by her own taste. If it somehow aligns with my choices for what new songs might be played live, I have only nice things to say! :grinning_face:

I do agree with Julio, drop the In Rock tracks. As much as I love that album/tracks, it’s time to replace them in the set, since they’re now a bit too much for our beloved singer.

I love many of the newer tracks that will never get a live outing, or maybe got played but dropped, which is a shame in my opinion. Mentioned here in no particular order, just songs I think would work live given a chance, as was the topic recently,

A simple Song (fantastic song)

Weirdistan (love this song, and title :sweat_smile: )

The Long Way Round

Throw My Bones

One Night In Vegas

Nothing At All (beautiful song, why dropped?

Out Of Hand (just brilliant)

I’d like to add many other tracks of course, just off the top of my head which “newer” tracks I think would catch an eye for someone not a fan as we are…

Say what Uwe?.?.?

I haven’t been in prison yet, but keep this up and I might :laughing:

Let me tell you this: I take life as it comes and that includes songs at the concert of the year (for little old me…)
If I can sing along to some of them I’m happy, but even more important: Ian’s voice has to be taken excellent care of. And I don’t mind him not singing all my favourites, because he needs to be in shape singing all these concerts. And oh boy there are many concerts and the man turns 81 in 10 days :clap:t3::folded_hands:t3:

MK I am a very nice person, don’t you listen to Uwe at all! :smiley:
Half of what he says about me is not true, and the other half can not be believed either… :smiley:

Besides that I’m famous for my coffee! And I have loved Purple all my life :purple_heart::heart_eyes:

Always feel free to ask me about all the dirty secrets about Uwe because I have a lot, been in these holy halls of everything Purple a couple of years I have endured and suffered a lot :face_with_monocle::grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Karin, good to know you’re a nice person! :slightly_smiling_face: Always easier to deal with nice people.:grin:

I’ve been reading a lot of comments on The Highway Star for many years, haven’t interacted a lot since mostly everything is covered by others. So I have at least a general idea of who’s who here. Let’s leave it at that! :upside_down_face:

1104 is my apartment number, so I’m wondering if it’s actually my wife there, texting from the sofa in my living room? :upside_down_face:
