The atmosphere was electric, in such amazing surroundings.”<br><br>“All the songs on Burn were written in the crypt/dungeon, underneath the great hall. We worked on a new song every day, and we were in the flow. Musically we would play, and work out ideas, and David and I would come up with vocal melodies that would later have lyrics. I remember it like it was yesterday.”<br><br>“As you could imagine, Ritchie Blackmore was in full prankster mode, Jon had warned me, and he rigged my room one night with a speaker that was hidden, and had ghostly voices delivered to my bedside.”<br><br>“The title track was the last song to be written. We came back from the pub, and went down into the crypt, and magic happened.”<br><br>Concludes Hughes, “It’s time to celebrate BURN, and I’m really looking forward to seeing you!”<br><br>GLENN HUGHES PERFORMS CLASSIC HITS FROM THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF DEEP PURPLE’S LEGENDARY “BURN” ALBUM AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2023 US TOUR WITH YNGWIE MALMSTEEN (unless otherwise noted):<br><br>08.16.23 LANDIS THEATER VINELAND, NJ*** (GLENN HUGHES ONLY)<br>08.18.23 STRAND THEATER HUDSON FALLS, NY<br>08.19.23 THE CHANCE POUGHKEEPSIE, NY<br>08.22.23 THE PALLADIUM TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK, NEW YORK<br>08.23.23 THE PARAMOUNT HUNTINGTON, NY<br>08.25.23 THE KING OF CLUBS COLUMBUS, OH<br>08.26.23 ARCADA THEATER ST.
