"Airey's solo was a real stand out on 'Lazy' - his panache and humour ably assisted by the orchestration. His Hammond mastery making me do a double-take as I returned from a long overdue pit-stop - ELP anyone? As for Ian Paice (never was a surname so apt) the drummer held it together all the way through - despite the 38 new faces to Mk 8! Cynics would say that the orchestra were there to paint over the cracks - in my eyes it was more of a case of the overall sum being greater than the parts." Billed as 'The Songs That Built Rock Tour' - the Deep Purple Mk 8 touring juggernaut, including their 38 piece orchestra - that was part of our review six years ago as DP stopped off at London's O2 Arena (pictured). And DP return to the same venue tonight as part of their 'The Long Goodbye Tour'.
