Karlshamn 1999
Another great show with the NEW Purple with guitar god Steve Morse. Almost everything was better than last year even. Except the new intro to Smoke On The Water, that had segments from a lot of different tracks and became too annoying. Then the biggest surprise of the festival was that Ian Gillan had cut his hair. The highlights were "Bludsucker", "Space Truckin'" and "Perfect Strangers". This was the third Purple show for me in 10 months and the fourth in 2 years but I am already looking forward to the next one.
