Paulo,

Wow...super.. great keyboards work (but then we can expect that from you :D), and I'm impressed with your vocals.

You should sing more often, specially on rock tunes - theres been a few Purple tunes on here lately!!

Cheers

Top stuff Paulo  ^-^

I can imagine John Lord nodding in appreciation as he listens to this.
Soaring keys (and vocals) from our man in Portugal.

I agree with Ian....we're all old!!  :-*

Steve,

I absolutely second the motion  :) . Well if not Purple covers then Purple-esque tunes for sure. There are a few now on MCS, CBZ's Bluebells/Too Little, then Sharpen and Its A Thin Line Between Love & hate..the list goes on!!

Sorry Paulo didnt mean to hijack the thread!! Your version of Highway Star rocks!

Much thnaks Guys and Gals... I really do love the Purple stuff... Lord was the main keys playing teatcher to me and he just doesn't know such a thing...

Now about this tune... It is a mix of some stuff... Once I've found a midi file with this tune. The guitars and Hammond were poor but the bass and drums, just rocks...

I've kept the drums and bass and modified the keys and guitars.

This midi file was (Dunno if stils is) at the Purple's official website for a long time posted by me some years ago.

Just added the vocals later  8)

Well done you :) :)

I could definitely add some real gtr should you wish it, I was weaned on these guys. Remember sitting in my halls of residence at college trying to learn the guitar solo for Child in Time and just about succeeded when out came Made in Japan and they upped the tempo.........********!!!!
