Deep Purple’s Ian Paice & Ian Gillan discussing a possible Perfect Strangers video in 1984

Following the release of Perfect Strangers in late 1984, Deep Purple found themselves in New York City on the promotional trail. This interview is with Ian Paice & Ian Gillan who are quite adamant that the band wouldn’t be making a rock video. It is interesting to look back at that period and how serious musicians viewed the advent of videos. The elusive documentary which was never made is still very much in their thinking.
