Children's Radio

In the afternoon of Deep Purple's Copenhagen show on October 1, 1998, Steve Morse and Roger Glover were interviewed for Danmarks Radio's Børneradio - radio for kids, made by kids.

The two 14-year-old hosts produced a one hour radio special about the music they thought was cool. They loved old rock'n'roll and was dissing all the younger artists. Among the music they did play were Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and... Deep Purple.

Chatting to the Purple guys about music in general, one of the kids also brought his own guitar to show that he could play Smoke On The Water and to jam with Steve on the air.

With the Deep Purple guys being the same age as the hosts' own grand parents, some of the questions were quite amusing - do the members of Purple ever have to take a mid-day nap to get through the day?
