The Sunflower Jam 2008 - Deep Purple

Last Thursday night I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Sunflower Jam - A fundraising event organised by Jacky Paice (Ian's wife) to help with complementary therapy for child cancer sufferers in London.

I handed over the proceeds of the guitar raffle (with many thanks again to the guys from Strings & Things) we held at the Steve Morse clinic during the summer and then enjoyed the evenings musical events as you can see from the following photos.....

Sunflower Jam 2008 - a set on Flickr

All these were taken on an iPhone (so no zoom I really was that close), and next time if Steve needs a guitar - get him to give me a call rather than compromise (Only joking!)

It was one hell of a night.

Dave

great Dave, thankyouverymuch!! Seems like a bloody great night!

Maybe I should get one of these OLPs too. Even Steve Morse is playing them! Is he now OLP endorsee?

Dave, please tell us, how did the OLP did sound played by SM? Is there a story behind his choice of guitars?

The OLP sounded great - though I think the player has a far greater bearing on things! Not as good tonally as #1 or the Y2D proto but that may be down to the Floyd.

I spoke to Jacky and apparently Steve flew in from Florida that morning and was leaving straight after. Michael Berger wasnt over for it so I guess he didnt have his normal tour rig and instruments.

Didnt matter though - when you watch Steve play Contact Lost and Well Dressed Guitar about 6 inches from your face.......

Dave

Steve slinging an OLP? hmm...OLPs have gotten fairly mixed reviews (I seem to recall a recent thread on this topic)......but hey. He's Steve Morse. He could string a watermelon rind with wet noodles and still saw everybody else in half.

He's one of my favorite players of all time. One day I will see him live.........
