Deep Purple in Los Angeles Aug 30th 1998 (Universal Amphitheater)

STEVE MORSE STEVE MORSE STEVE MORSE!!!!
What more can a guy say?
I must be honest, and admit that I'm a die hard Morse fan. However, that aside, it was clear that those present last nite were treated to a world class performance by THE PREMIER guitar player in the world today. Actually, I was fully prepared for a disappointing show, but was stoked at how the show came off.
For people that long for real rock and roll, a modern day Deep Purple with Steve at the helm is the way to go. I find it hard for anyone to find any room for any radical critisism of Steve and his talent.
With all due respect to the rest of the band, it was clear to me that the addition of Morse was the smartest thing they have ever done. I wont go on boring any of you any longer with my praising of Steve, and say only this:
Purple rocked hard core last nite, and thank God Blackmore was somewhere else having his own fun!!!!
