On Wednesday, one of Scandinavia’s most classic venues burned down. KB Hallen in Copenhagen has seen many stars raise the heat in the hall and was of course the venue where the classic Deep Purple DVD from 1972 was recorded. Purple has played there many times after that. The latest DP related concert in the […]
Read more »Another concert with DP on DP’s homeground, KB Hallen! Lots of good experiences before the concert when meeting souls-mates in town on their way to the concerthall and at the entrance of the hall. Lights went out at aprr. 9.15 PM and after a piece of music, my favorite starter “Highway Star”! And then it […]
Read more »KB-Hallen has been a part of the regular circuit for DP for quite a long time now and we have high expectations as they have always delivered when they hit this stage. As Roger Glover put it, it is a part of the band’s history. They certainly took up the challenge, especially the three Mark […]
Read more »Lots and lots of solos and improvs spread out through the setlist. New transitions, new starts, new middle section jams, new endings.

Read more »My friend, Dave, and I attended the shows in Copenhagen, Linköping, Tallinn, and Riga, amid a Scandinavian adventure that included a stop in a remote struggling fishing village at the northeast tip of the European continent. All of the shows were excellent, and each had its own little variety or nuance. KB Hallen was kinda […]
Read more »I attended the gig in Copenhagen with a VIP-ticket. Very excited to see the backstage and meet DP. At 6 PM I met other VIP-fans and this was very fine to talk to other big fans of DP. We got a tour by Gordon from the DP-staff and he did a real good job showing […]
Read more »I guess we get the best of both worlds on the current DP tour. The energy level is high and the setlist is interesting enough to enjoy even after 40 years(!). In Copenhagen we got the kind of show we expected – with dynamics, humor, improvisation and virtuosity. The setlist is working fine to build […]
Read more »I just got back from Odense, from my second concert with DP in a week. The first one was on Wednesday in Copenhagen, and I have to say Odense was the best one – a better sound, Ian Gillan sounded much better, Steve Morse in outstanding topform – not that Copenhagen was bad, absolutely not.
