Check out this review I ran across. Cool stuff.

DEEP PURPLE, Plymouth Pavilions, 15 February 1996. Down went the house lights – WHOOOOOOSH and a mighty blast on the drums leading into ‘Fireball’ was the opening number in a set mixing tracks from the new album ‘Purpendicular’ like ‘Ted The Mechanic’, ‘Cascades’ and ‘Rosa’s Cantina’ with classic Purple oldies like ‘Woman From Tokyo’, ‘Black Night’, ‘Smoke On The Water’, the slow bluesy ‘When a Blind Man Cries’, a solo from Jon Lord on keyboards, embracing mock-classical themes and a snatch of Meade Lux Lewis-style piano boogie, Ian Gillan’s promise of “a nice romantic ballad" – which turned out to be ‘Speed King’. For encores we were treated to ‘Perfect Strangers’ and a supercharged ‘Highway Star’.
Line-up – Ian Gillan (vocals, maraccas, harmonica), new member Steve Morse (guitar), Roger Glover (bass), Jon Lord (keyboards), Ian Paice (drums)
