## Resource

Richie Blackmore suddenly walks onto a Deep Purple stage after 33 years, and the whole thing happened with almost no warning. Was this just a spontaneous jam, a long-overdue reunion, or something a lot more significant? GET DEEP PURPLE’S SPLAT ON LIMITED EDITION VINYL: https://amzn.to/4ids5m5 Then things get even stranger when Foghat rolls out yet another live release, complete with a new single, while the guys start digging into the absolutely insane number of musicians who have passed through bands like Whitesnake and L.A. Guns. Old-school rock, bizarre band histories, and plenty of brutally honest opinions. What more do you need?
