Paicey on the rocks!

Introduced by one of the most boring shows I’ve ever seen (by Andy Timmons), the guys hit the stage at about 22.20 P.M. Not so good in the beginning, the P.A. balancing got o.k. very quickly. Every one seemed in excellent shape, big Ian sung as good as usual, but let me tell you this: […]

Going crazy with a Purple night

This was my fifth DP show and by far the greatest. The set list was fantastic, the whole band was fantastic, and the crowd got crazy. I will never forget the moment that Ian asked Steve to keep playing Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming – you guys gave us a gift! The whole band was […]

Paice and Hughes reunite in London

Ian Paice and Glenn Hughes took part in the ChildLine Rocks charity mini-fest at the indigO2 in London. This was the first time since March 15th, 1976 that they have appeared together on the same stage. More Black Than Purple reports: With Thunder’s Luke Morley doing a solid job on guitar they cranked out ‘Mistreated’ […]

Caracas’ Purple night

What night! A legend closing the South America 2008 Tour. 9.30 p.m.: Gillan, Glover, Paice, Morse & Airey. Sold Out, Sound good (7.5/10) and Purple 10/10! First time in my country, I travelled 400 miles but, this night was something like a dream turns reality! The set list was very similar to Brasil, Argentina, Ecuador […]

Deep Purple’s concert in Quito started at 21:10 local hour. The first 20 minutes of the concert were plagued with sound problems, fortunately they were remedied. The set was full of all time classics: Space Truckin’, Mary Long, Into the Fire, Pictures of Home, Lazy, Black Night. The highlight of the concert in my humble […]

Better than in the seventies

I’m from Barcelona and I was on holiday in Argentina when I discovered a DP show in the classic Luna Park Stadium and, of course, I decided to go. It was the best DP show I’ve ever seen! Perfect in the beginning, with Pictures of home, including the final musical passage of Child in Time, […]

Friday night in Rio de Janeiro…

As perhaps the international rock act that has visited us most times in the recent years, Deep Purple once again arrived in Brazil for the third visit in the rather long Rapture of the Deep tour. A Deep Purple gig is always something very rewarding. The band clearly love what they do, with 40 years […]
