You can see where Ummagumma’s enthu’s spouting from (all that ale and red wine apart)….you can see ol Arun (four eyes – all crossed) in this pic we took of the TAAQ crew before our DEEP PURPLE opening…
Arun you’ll recognise from the last (lengthy) post. In front of him sportin the Iron Maiden T ( At the DP gig mind you) is the one and only Guru (you might not recognise him these days on the street – if you want to pass on your compliments). Behind him is Bala. Sitting – Umesh in the green T and KD with the handle Bar. Far right – with the rippling chest and forearms is superman himself in Leo. The Other two you’ll have to sort out yourself!
Sriram (our Mridangam player) and the boys take a peek at Mr Ian Paice’s sound check…
Huddle with our sound wizard Didier, before we got on stage to take on some 40,000 DP fans and Rajeev’s Gran…(She was the only person at that gig older than the Deep Purple boys – and at 70 + she stood up-front for the entire gig!)
