Hughes will be performing various hits and deep cuts from the Deep Purple catalog, including “Burn,” “Stormbringer,” “Sail Away” and “Smoke On The Water,” among others.

Jump into a conversationWhat a waste of time for him to perform to those stuffed shirts. No one seemed to enjoy it at all. look at the crowd shots and there was no heads going up and down, no one standing, no one clapping. Zip, Nada, Zilch, Zero! He and the other musicians wasted 6 minutes of their lives!
