It was a solid concert. It seems that they have a lot of fun.I think Gillan had problems with his voice. Sometimes he tried to get the "high tunes" but he didn't get it. RG and SM were with a lot of power, so that it was o.k.. DA played "singing in the rain" in his solo and when we took a look to the sky - it was true. Paicy did a short solo, but good. They played 90 minutes - exactly. I hoped that they'll play longer, because I read the review of the concert the day before. Setlist: Fireball Into the fire Strange kind of woman Rapture of the deep Mary long Contact lost Steve Morse - solo Sometimes I fel like screaming Wring that neck The well dressed guitar The battle rages on Don Airey - solo Perfect strangers Space trucking Highway star - with extra long intro improvisation Smoke on the water Encore Hush with Ian Paice - solo (a short one) Roger Glover - solo Black night. It was a good setlist, with new life stuff. Hope the next gig the play a little bit longer. I know, that the are able to play more than three or four hours and they never will do it. They can't do it right for everyone. This is my opinion of the concert in cologne.
