THE BAND
Deep Purple – founded by Jon Lord (keyboards, piano) and Ritchie Blackmore (guitars) in February 1968 in London – became one of the most successful British rock bands of the 1970s. The ongoing dispute between Lord and Blackmore fuelled this five-piece group – one of the first hard rock bands ever – over many years. »Frequently, they fought their internal and outright violent battles right on stage, misinterpreted by their audience as a part of the show, with guitars and amplifiers smashed to pieces and parts of the drum kit thrown into the auditorium.« (Rock-Lexikon, Schmidt-Joos/Graves). THE BOOK »Black Night«, »Child in Time«, »Smoke on the Water« – today, these and many other Deep Purple songs are timeless rock classics. Photographer Didi Zill has accompanied the band over the past 40 years and took tons of pictures – private shots, live photos and studio work. In this massive picture book Didi presents around 600 photographs from his lush private archives, accompanied by stories from the photographer’s many meetings and sessions with the band. The 2013 edition of this book has been extensively revised and updated, with new and unseen photographs, extended texts, and interviews with the members of the current band line-up. Didi Zill
