Deep Purple: In Their Own Words

The film draws on archive footage of Deep Purple playing in concert from film and TV sources, and features the candid reflections of former Deep Purple band members Nick Simper and Glenn Hughes, along with archive interviews by the late Tommy Bolin. We hear the first hand accounts of insiders from the Purple camp along with a team of journalists and musicians who strip away the layers of sensationalism and half truths to produce the definitive re-appraisal of Deep Purple, in their own words.

My take

A deep dive into rock history that speaks directly to the music itself. Archive footage and raw band member reflections cut through the mythology to reveal the real story of Deep Purple — perfect for anyone who wants to understand the artists behind the legendary sound.
