Revision as of 00:55, 9 May 2007

The various line-ups in the history of the British Hard rock band Deep Purple are referred to by fans and the band themselves by "Mark" numbers (abbreviated as Mk I, Mk II, etc.) The "gap" in the numbering, Mk VI, refers to the series of concerts performed with Joe Satriani on guitar, when Ritchie Blackmore quit the band halfway through the tour in November 1993. This is the only lineup for which no official recordings have yet been released.
