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 […]
