i detest the fact that DP is not put on the level such as the stones–a-smith– led zep and the usual suspects. like it or not SOTW is a life style–not just a song : )

Approaching such a break, you know, the one they take every year around this time. Its all there is I’m afraid, its not like they’re going to forget that much.

The comments here about the show beeing solid but a bit “slow” and “tired” is the same as my experience at the Oslo show. Solid but a bit energyless…

i agree they need a break to rest and re-group. as for going through the motions, all of us at one time or another do the same. remember, they’ve been doing this 40 plus years and constant traveling. i do believe they would make more money by avoiding the small venues and get people hungry to see them at larger and more appropriate places this band commands. i notice other famous bands do a handful of large shows per year and make bucket loads of jingle. wish DP could do the super bowl and be on a national stage–this band deserves something like that.

I have to agree I thought it was a rather slow night, this said, I thought Ian Gillan was brilliant, and so was Steve.
Roger was his usual self: a machine gun, fearless!
Don was a bit off, missed a couple of solos, especially in Wring that neck and Fireball.
Ian Paice seemed very tired, doing the bare minimum with the least amount of energy possible.
I was very happy to seem them again, but this wasn’t my favourite night out of the 20’s I have spent in a concert hall watching dP.

Can’t wait for a new album, as Gillan announced it on stage, that should be recorded in february.

Are they reaching the end of the highway and spliting into single lanes? May be its time for every member of the group to find his own way home. The next album will be make or break and i think there is lots of pressure on the whole group in terms of direction.
