Deep Purple toured with Ted Nugent and Lynyrd Skynyrd. We have reviews of all the shows, including a charity show in Italy in May hosted by Luciano Pavarotti at which Deep Purple were special guests. Ian Gillan and Pavarotti did a duet!

Go straight to the condensed tour highlights or browse the complete reviews below. View the setlists.

Photo this page by Brian Caseau (Mansfield, MA June 16, 2001) - see more photos from the tour.

Only a few weeks after Deep Purple came off the tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd, LS's bass player Leon Wilkeson sadly died. Read Roger Glover's memories of his colleague.
