Short story:
Deep Purple begin the South American leg of their Slaves And Masters tour with a show at Ginásio do Ibirapuera, São Paulo, Brazil.Full article:
Jose Muniz (promoter) : When I first brought Deep Purple to South America in 1991, the president of Brazil, Fernando Collor, had confiscated all banking accounts and to get large sums of money was really difficult, inflation was at its record peak (2,000% a year) and the dollar was going up every day. I was getting a lot of pressure from Neil Warnock (UK agent) for the pending payments and the only alternative was to send him a cheque by fax from a broker that had a Swiss account. I am really thankful to Neil for trusting me at the time and in the end everything went well.
