This year marks 50 years since Glenn Hughes—once the frontman of Trapeze—was first recruited by Deep Purple, originally to replace bassist Roger Glover (who later came back to the band, where he remains to this day, and later to co-vocalize during the “Burn” era.

The 72-year-old’s voice is still pretty intact, and though you won’t hear any of the material he performed during his brief, mid-’80s stint with Black Sabbath, you will get to hear diva shred master Yngwie Malmsteen close out the night, in what will go down as one of the loudest shows the Cap has hosted this year.

Tickets to see Yngwie Malmsteen and Glenn Hughes play the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre in Clearwater on Saturday, Sept. 23 are still available and start at $35.
