Deep Purple – Down The Road Of Golden Dust [2009]

Live Across The World And Through The Years

In February 2009 I compiled a similar type of collection to “Space Truckin’ Round The World – Live 1968-76” for PT Music in South Africa (based on a 1998 idea of mine), but they were not able to get the licencing sorted.

In March 2024 I created some new artwork and a Spotify playlist.

The title is taken from the lyrics of “Fireball”:

My head is getting broken / And my mind is getting bust /
But now I’m coming with you / Down the road of golden dust
