All the reviews of the ROTD tour have been very positive, a few negs, mostly niggling stuff, but overall, it seems a thumbs up kind of review for every show. Hopefully they'll visit Houston, TX when the finally land in the states. I think the Woodlands Pavillion is ready for the return of Deep Purple... Thanks Scoot Soli Deo Gloria What a great set-list.

You could realy see they enjoyed themselves on stage. Btw this was also Don's birthday, which the rest of the band did not let pass unnoticed. Here is the review and also an interview with Gillan which unveils that Smoke On The Water first just was a filler for the record. It's all in norwegian, but you can see that the gig got the best review there is.

Cold weather yes, but when DP entered the stage the cold winds just blew...yeah, -right to Hell. The DP guys looked pleased on the stage, much from the great response from the audience, when Ia G. said: "You are an awesome audioence" I did believe him. And they deserved it. These old guys are really still rockin' Welcome back to Hell, we'll be there! -Ray. That concert was awesome, just awesome!

A crowd of 5.000 were in attendance, and the concert got great reviews in Norwegian papers, as did the other Norwegian gigs in Tromsø (June 21.), Bodø (June 22.), and Bergen (June 24.). I've sent links to Norwegian reviews to Svante and Rasmus, so they'll probably be added in due time, but for now - here's a review from the Bodø concert in Northern Norway - with pictures and a short video cut (click on the first link, where the words "video" and "konserten" are a giveaway to even the most Norwegianally challenged. ;-) Please note that the festival formerly known as the Hell Blues Festival is now the Hell Music Festival (http://www.hellmusicfestival.no/) to get rid of the blues restraint.

Happy to see that they may have added Strange Kind of Woman and When a Blind Man Cries. Hope they keep them. Would also want to hear Clearly Quite Absurd, but it doesn't seem likely. My wife and I look forward to seeing everyone in Montreux. Will be in Montreux. Happy to see that they may have added Strange Kind of Woman and When a Blind Man Cries. Hope they keep them.
