"�I made a few phone calls and with a beginning of an idea, and sent a few email messages and I think within a day I got a reply from Joe Elliott and Tony Iommi and Joe Satriani and Jon Lord and all the guys in Purple. And they said, "Yeah count me in. I'd love to do it. Brilliant." So we then changed the entire concept around. And I had this imaginary pub called Gillan's Inn, and you walk in and it's a free bar and there's a stage bar with all the equipment set up and all our mates are there and we just get up and have a jam and each one gets up and plays for 3or 4 songs and we all mix up amongst each other. And so of course it all turns into this most amazing thing because I'm suddenly trying to select the material and I'm going well if Tony Iommi's coming We've got to do "Trashed" which is the opening track on the Born Again album. And I said, "This is perfect because I have Tony Iommi, Ian Paice and Roger Glover all together, which is what we did. Sounds awesome. Similar thing. "When a Blind Man Cries". I really wanted Jon Lord play the Hammond solo on that one because it's very much him. Now who could we get who is not on the list already, that's got a nice blues touch. And my producer says "What about that Jeff Healey." Bloody brilliant�." [there is a lot more to this story, so click on over to read it all plus a lot more]
