Buenos Aires: Simply perfect!

As always before, when I had the chance to see Deep Purple in my country, it was magical, wonderful, engergetic, fantastic, simply perfect! As a rarity for me I have the privilege of hearing Mary Long live for first time. I got a ticket for next Sunday also. I’m very happy and expect to see […]

Goose bumps in Mexico City

My wife and I were simply thrilled to have attended our first DP concert. It was a long wait and when we were finally face to face with one of our all time favourite bands it was just an outburst of adrenaline and emotions. The classics were played – Pictures of Home, Into the Fire, […]

Olympic ecstacy in Paris

11 years after recording their famous live album “At the Olympia” Deep Purple came back to the most famous Parisian club for a brilliant sold-out show, without Jon Lord this time but introducing Don Airey to a mythic place of music and culture.

Darth invades final French date

Very good, rather funny performance in Besançon. It was the final show of the French Tour. The show began half an hour before the previous time, and the set list was a little shorter than for the other French dates. The show was speed, but without Speed king … Nevertheless the band was in good […]
