I bought my copy of the new Deep Purple DVD History, Hits and Highlights 3 weeks ago. This is my review. The title – odd as it sounds – has some justification after seeing it a couple of times. There is a great number of highlights indeed which easily justify this purchase – incredible live […]
Read more »Can you forget a Deep Purple show which starting with snaring drums of Highway Star? No. No. No. Thousands of NO as Istanbul screamed last night. Venue opened at 20:00, lights off at 21:00 by the lovely seaside of Bosphorus, quite warm evening, with a considerable high humidity, the show started with a different intro […]

Glenn Hughes from Trapeze, Deep Purple Mark III and IV, Black Sabbath and solo playing at the island Karmoy near my home town Haugesund (south west in Norway), its just great!

Read more »Glenn Hughes played a Deep Purple set with the boys from Norwegian tribute band ‘Come Taste The Band’. Glenn was in excellent shape and in good humour. I have seen this band a couple of times before, and they are pretty good. This is the best I have seen them, and it looked as if […]

Morse was also good, but no surprises for the die hard fans, but a lot of the show was new for most of the […]

Lots of good experiences before the concert when meeting souls-mates in town on their way to the concerthall and at the entrance of the hall. Lights went out at aprr. 9.15 PM and after a piece of music, my favorite starter “Highway Star”! And then it […]
Read more »Set list didn’t had much surprises but as always a strong one. The intro – Is an unreleased track from Don Airey, at least that’s what I heard. Nice bombastic and imo better then the jazzy jump intro. Highway star – Ah, what can you say about that one except that it’s an excellent song. […]
Read more »KB-Hallen has been a part of the regular circuit for DP for quite a long time now and we have high expectations as they have always delivered when they hit this stage. As Roger Glover put it, it is a part of the band’s history. They certainly took up the challenge, especially the three Mark […]
Read more »Lots and lots of solos and improvs spread out through the setlist. New transitions, new starts, new middle section jams, new endings. The Contact Lost – guitar solo -> Sometimes I feel Like Screaming -> guitar solo -> The Well Dressed Guitar section was clever, amazing and beautiful. That one combined with 3 monumental songs […]
