This tour’s set list is somewhat more brave than the previous years, although it reflects the bands 41 year career very well. The band sounded very tight as always and the sound and mixing was very god, at least were I was standing. The also had two rather large projector screens on the sides of […]

Once again Deep Purple in Copenhagen, and what a gig, just awesome in a full KB Hallen with approx. 35 degrees Celcius. It was hot like a sauna. The sound was good and all members were excellent, but I have to say, Steve Mores was outstanding, he was playing as if he came from another […]

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 […]

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 […]

Being from Australia, I happened to be in Prague the night DP were playing at Telsa Arena. Deep Purple still have what it takes. They were amazing and again showed why they are still one of the best live bands. This was only my second DP concert, the last was in Sydney in 1999. I […]

Steve Morse seemed a bit frightened when he looked at the Wroclaw Square full of guitarists. It was a shock to both him and to me: more than 6.000 guitars in the town square! I expected 3.000 only. They had all come to break the Guinness World Record of guitarists pæaying simulateneously. Many thanks, Steve! […]

Jon Lord played the the Concerto for Group and Orchestra as the opening act of Virada Cultural, a 24-hour annual event sponsored by the municipality with hundreds of cultural events around […]

Live at the Mars’ Fields, Wroclaw, May 1st, 2009. I must admit that although I do not support Mk VIII in their approach to the live shows, I certainly enjoyed going to their gig in my hometown. I went with no expectations to be surprised or thrilled at all, which is in a way typical […]

I discovered DP in 1972 thru the Machine Head album, I was 16, immediately I got hooked to these guys and became a DIE HARD fan till these days. Never had the chance to see them in those days… until the dream come true on 1997 during the Purpendicular tour. Even though I missed Ritchie […]
