One Eye on Dutch Belgian TV
Ian Gillan stopped in The Netherlands Belgium on his way to Dubai to appear on TV talk show. Watch his appearance to learn about adrenaline problems, who is Dan, and what do Japanese firemen have in common with Brazilian strippers.

Thanks to SAD1024A for uploading the video, to dynamomoskva and Daniel Bengtsson for reporting it, and to Hein Bierman for the correction.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
On that night he performed No Lotion For That, but the song hasn’t surfaced yet.
April 3rd, 2009 at 06:58i have recorded the whole show (on my harddisc TVbox)
April 3rd, 2009 at 07:03but i have to borrow a DVD recorder to get it on my pc

Where you can see Ian and listen to podcast interview
April 3rd, 2009 at 09:32I love the look Ian gives the in show band as he walks down the stairs. You’d think those morons would learn a Purple number!
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:51#3 right-on–WTF was that all about? If the Japanese can play “Smoke” with a leaf and a stick–why couldn’t that house band?
April 3rd, 2009 at 14:04It would of been great if they have had BN as the house band!
A Mandolin introduction, interview, and then a fight……with Candy as the scanty clad referee….
Now thats what I would call television…………..
April 3rd, 2009 at 14:24Now you know what “Mr. Gillian” means by the lyrics of “MTV”
April 3rd, 2009 at 14:38The person who uploaded this should be hung! I wouldn’t post the work of someone who won’t even share the performance.
April 3rd, 2009 at 14:39@7 Agreed
And yet without this blog……..we dont have many left to post on!
April 3rd, 2009 at 14:47‘ How else have you kept you busy this last 12 years ? ‘ (beetween the solo albums)
April 3rd, 2009 at 15:48‘ Deep Purple is you main activity ? ‘
Poor Ian…
The video #2 posted is fantastic. You very rarely see IG so natural and out of the usual “interview mode”. That one deserves it´s own blog entry for sure!
April 3rd, 2009 at 16:08Thanks!
April 3rd, 2009 at 17:03Haha Big Ian is always a funny person to be interviewed. No lotion fot that is a great song, but he should perform always the traveller,my favorite song from the album.

May 9th, 2009 at 18:41Check this out, the live performance in the Belgian Show as addendum to the interview.
stoffer, James Jay & Nicos:
You obviously didn’t understand the sense of humour of the house band. They pull out these kinds of jokes all the time on this show. Rest assured, these are fabulous musicians, who know their classics through and through.
Richard:
January 23rd, 2010 at 09:43Remember that this is a general talk show – one of the highest ranked programmes in Belgium – and 99,9% of the viewers will have no idea who Ian Gillan is. Probably the only time anything or anyone Deep Purple related was shown in prime time on Belgian TV.
