19th, 20th shows in São Paulo, Olympia

So friends, the band was really good. I will resume my impressions on topics:

1. the set list is almost completely "Machine Head" and "Fireball",
2. the new CD is less played,
3. other way, the new Rainbow shows are basically in the new album - so we all know who really composes and who really just play and sing in this band,
4. in the moments of improvisation Morse is too weak, and don't shows the Blackmore feeling,
5. But Morse played all songs, and don't interrupt his playing to adjust guitar levels or to talk to backstage, things that Blackmore insists always on doing.
6. I went to the hotel to take some photographs with the guys: interesting - the manager gives thousand of tichets - but only to girls (very smart, dont ya think?).
7. But all of the purple guys were very kind, the most of all Roger Glover, always smiling and signing everything.
8. Gillan vocals were on top, the better was the last day, with a fantastic Speed King performance.
9. The Led song played was Bring it on home, not Whole lotta love.
10. Forgive my English.
11. Best wishes.
