    Yes, we tend to forget about Rod and Nick Simper on bass. Ritchie wanted that heavier sound and thus the legend began.....

      Have you heard what he's playing now? I will have to upload my copy of a Blackmore's Night concert! Very far from heavy! Larry

      Yes he certainly has turned things around. His acoustic playing is brilliant. I have an image of him wandering from village to village playing along his merry way. I was fortunate to see him live on a number of occasions. A great guitarist and showman.

    Agree with Dave. My all time favourite. Thanks for this. There will always be arguments as to which was the better line up, but this one does it for me.

      For me, it was the first line-up. To me the songs had more meaning to them. Plus I loved the smooth vocals of Rod Evens. Of course, that is in my opinion! You know what they say about opinions? Opinions are like buttholes, everybody's got one! LOL! Larry

    One of my favorite groups. Thanks for sharing, Larry.
