Come Hell or High Water is a CD and DVD by British rock band Deep Purple.

The band opened with Highway Star without Blackmore who did not enter the stage until his guitar solo section approximately 3:00 in.

For unknown reasons, he took issue with the presence of a cameraman filming behind Ian Gillian on the opposite side of the stage.

The band was confused by the commotion but finished the song, then Blackmore promptly returned to his dressing room and would not continue the show until the cameraman was removed.

The rest of the band's dissatisfaction with the behaviour of their soon-to-be-departed guitarist is evident in their interviews and unsurprisingly, Blackmore is the only one who is not featured in this segment.
