Mühldorf louder than everything else

It was a great festival, with the Bass Monsters as an opener, Hooters, Roger Hodgeson and Status Quo, but there was after 10 seconds of Deep Purple no doubt, who was the headliner and who was the boss in the ring. But, unfortunatly, the sound mixing was the worst I have ever seen at a […]

Prague: As good as ever

Once again this wonderful band made me act like the teenager I was back in the early seventies watching rock concerts. This time we happened to be in Prague to see them (last time was in Frankfurt seven months ago). Accompanied by my daughter, 18 years, who is as much a rock freak as I […]

Doing it in Dubai!

What really impressed me about the concert was how tight the band was. These guys are one of the best live acts around. The other thing that was great to see was the smiles, laughter and respect for each other. They were having a great time on stage. The crowd were more into this concert […]

São Paulo: Purple always a great experience

What can I say about a Purple concert? Well, it’s always a great experience, a great show, and a fantastic performance. They started with Highway Star, and played a lot of classic songs like Strange Kind Of Woman, Perfect Strangers and Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming from the Steve Morse era. The set list was […]
