June 1975 to March 1976
Deep Purple Mk IV
People involved
Tommy Bolin (gtr); David Coverdale (vcl); Glenn Hughes (bss/vcl); Jon Lord (kbr); Ian Paice (drm).
Bolin was recruited to step in for Blackmore. They managed one album, Come Taste the Band (1975). Although his participation had its clear highlights, his drug addiction eventually took its toll. After a disasterous concert at Wembley in March 1976, Deep Purple decided to give it up.
