Yes.

Not sure I understand your question ?

Which pic with Strider?

Hammersmith Odeon on Robert's first UK tour 1983. I think it was December? I was there , he did two shows and I THINK this was the second one - SAJ can probably confirm.

Coverdale says the death of Jon Lord has made him forget past differences with many people - he is even friendly with Richie Blackmore again. And yes he and Plant were friendly enough at one stage - Plant attended both Deep Purple and Whitesnake concerts. They even went by "pet" names "Elsie and Arthur Hobson" , which I can't really explain, so feel free to take that bit of info on board or not .

Yep Keats Island BC

Don't take it too literally - he DID do it as a return of favour, but it wasn't a contractual obligation thing, it was as FRIENDS. He was happy to contribute - but the lyrics are rather barbed.

It's not stalking at all when it is just collating into one place items of news which are ALREADY REPORTED on the net.

Ooh just found this - also says he was on 3 times - I know I had them all

Anyone have decent footage of the two times RP was on Mike Read's "Pop Quiz" in the 80s? I used to have both on Betamax but Lord knows if I'll ever dig them out. I recall him singing along to the "'Ello Mrs Jones, 'ows your Bert's lumbago?" part of The Small Faces' "Lazy Sunday Afternoon"

Where?????????

That's not Jeff Beck.

No it was just about the tapes.

No worries Steve. I can't chase the thought that the musician we saw was Big Joe Turner. I know he died in Nov of 1985. I'd love to have a better memory!

They flew from Washington in their private jet immediately after the Tacoma gig on 11th and we all went out in San Fran to see a blues musician at a local bar, his name escapes me but it will come back. 12th and 13th were nights off , not much happened on 12th but they all went to the Paul Young gig on 13th. The only thing I can think may have happened is that they went to this other gig after the Paul Young one? I don't recall hearing about it but it's possible.
