In fine voice at the Casino

Saw DP last night @ Club Casino, Hampton Beach, NH. They were truly professional, spot on performance, tight 1.5 hr show. It looked like they were having a great time on stage. Hard to believe Big Ian can still hit those notes. His voice held up just fine. Set list similar to what has been […]

Great choice double bill

Radio City Music Hall is perhaps the nicest venue in all of New York City, and a perfect place to see two outstanding and long-standing rock groups, (the original) Vanilla Fudge and Deep Purple. Fudge was in great form as they celebrate 40 years together. Their set included a number of the covers that they’ve […]

Moth balls to Airey

Photo by Lynn Ma Mongo. I had a great time at the show in NH last night. The set list was similar to the previous shows with the omission of “The battle rages on”. The Hampton Beach Casino is a small venue that gave everyone the chance to “see” Deep Purple as well as hear […]

Glover the prowler

See all of Daniele Purrone’s photos. New York: The hall was packed and the crowd very enthusiastic! Ian got everyone going with Into the Fire and Woman from Tokyo, such great material. Steve’s guitar solo was sublime, ethereal, and the crowd loved it. Don Airy was awesome on Lazy. Steve and Don have really come […]

Excellent show with a set list to gripe about

See all of Daniele Purrone’s photos. Went to the Purple concert at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, with Vanilla Fudge as the opening act. Excellent show all around. Vanilla Fudge put on a surprisingly energetic show opening with a mid-tempo cover of the Zombies’ “She’s Not There”. The highlight of their set was definitely […]

1974 T-shirt still fits!

This was my first time seeing the lads on foreign soil and I was glad I did. Had my repro tour shirt on from 74 and got asked by loads of people if was actually there and confirmed yes at the Newcastle Odeon. Me and my mate Dave dropped the missuses and kids at downtown […]

Magical sticks

See all of Daniele Purrone’s photos. House of blues in Atlantic City is quite a small place which is perfect for a great intimate atmosphere. Me and my friends had golden circle seats in the second row right in front of the stage. However, as soon as Purple hit the stage with Pictures of home […]

Paicey forgot his roll

See all of Daniel Purrone’s photos. Always a thrill to see the band in my hometown of Atlantic City, and had a great time with my older brother warming up at the Bar at the HOB. Last Purple show we saw together was reunion tour in ’84. I’ve lost count but I believe this was […]

Glover and Morse did ‘the Judas Priest’

See all of Daniele Purrone’s photos. As I was unable to attend the St. Louis show, it was up to my brother Jim (a.k.a. “JJ”) to check out Deep Purple in Atlantic City. He has no internet connection, so I decided to relay the events of the night in his stead. The plan was to […]

Tent treat in Boston

Great show at the Bank of America Pavilion on the Harbor on Tuesday night. The weather was perfect and the band was as well. Not a bad crowd for a Tuesday, and as usual around here, it takes two songs in and the crowd is warmed up. Sitting in the 7th row dead center, I […]
