Pure power – Mannheim
Wow, what to say? It is quite easy – the best DP concert I have ever seen (it was my 8th since 1985).
The SAP Arena is a fantastic venue and it was completely sold out. 14.000 people were as happy as the band was.
Very effective light show. IG in very funny mood. Paicey superb (short solo in a rearranged “Hush”). Roger was great, especially his intro of “Highway Star”. Don – what a player – it was a joy watching his playing on the video screen.
Steve with a new guitar and much better sound. Less distorted, less compressed, clearer, sharper. And his playing was phenomenal.
Really no low point this night – even the before unknown “Things I never said” was great. Two hours of pure power.
