In wikipedia it is written that:

Because guitarist Ritchie Blackmore disliked "When a Blind Man Cries", the band never played the song live during his stay with the band, with the exception of one occasion, on 6 April 1972 in Quebec, Canada, when Blackmore was ill, and Randy California from Spirit stood in for him.

My question would be - has Ritchie Blackmore himself or anyone from the Deep Purple elaborated on the nature of such distaste? In other words, what's the reason why Blackmore hated this song in particular?

    I got a friend who is a hardcore Purple fan, to the point of probably knowing every date the band played Stargazer. :) I'll ask him and fill in the answer. – Johnny Bones Jun 28 '19 at 18:51
