Raptured in Stuttgart

The Schleyerhalle was well filled, newspapers reported 10,000 visitors. The organisation around it was ok, although a handball game took place in the add-on Porsche arena.

Sold out in Stuttgart

After half an hour break for rebuilding (it took quite a long time to take away the coffin, the corpse parts and the guillotine), which put he atmosphere down to zero again, it finally started. There were two big video screens at the sides of the stage, but only one worked, luckily the one at […]

What a show! – Stuttgart

Deep Purple rock the house down for two hours, the sound was clear and excellent, and the setlist the best for all the times – especially Living Wreck was good to hear as fresh as a new song with its howling keyboards followed by the funny Mary Long. Ian “Bare foot” Gillan was in good […]

A good place for Purple – Stuttgart

First of all – great to see a band not playing their old songs to satisfy the fans. The real fans want to hear the new songs and the goodies, but look at the back catalogue – what do they wanna hear. Well I don’t know – it is difficult for a band but I […]
