Seeing Purple in 2007, after losing track for almost 15 years, is a unique experience. Last time I saw them was February 1991 — was that Deep Purple? — all I can recall was the opening number, Burn — the rest was the reason I decided to quit being a fan, except for a slight […]

Another great two hours show in front of a sold out crowd. I’ve had the pleasure to see the band for the third time in one year and the last show was the best show. If the setlist is nearly the same it was a big surprise to hear two new songs in the set […]

I’d already seen Purple in Rennes last year, but a colleague of mine missed the show – he was at a conference on the other side of the Atlantic. But this year Purple came to France *after* the conference, and I couldn’t let him go watch Purple 200 km away all by himself, could I? […]

Third date in Normandy for the band after Caen and Rouen and I was there again! In front of a cold audience, the band made a real ‘tour de force’. Ian Gillan screamed like a possessed man on Into the Fire ! Good surprise when the band played Mary Long: I’ve never heard that song […]

I’m a fan of DP since the early 70’s. I saw them a lot of times, nearly all the ‘mk’s’. I went to the concert in Liege, at a place called Country Hall, with my son (19 years old). I was full of hope to see a good concert, because I thought that without Blackmore […]

The ‘same’ great show. The audience was hot, the music was loud and powerful, the band was OK. They can play everything. Very good the four-tracks-four beginning. Mary Long, Perfect Strangers and Smoke (after 1.223 times) are always a pleasure. Great job by Steve during Black Night; for the first time I heard Loosen my […]

Since 1975 I wanted to see this best band in rock. On november 3 2007, my dream came true. Thanks guys for unbelieveable and superb moments for me and other huge fans from Bosnia. Excuse me for my English and quality of photos. Davor

All photos are (c) Bulphoto 2007. The concert in Sofia was held in the Festival Hall (Zala Festivalna) in front of a crowd of 7.500 enthusiastic fans representatives of three generations. It was nice to see a father and a daughter or a grandfather, a son and his little boy singing alongside groups of young […]

The only DP concert in Austria this year, so my wife and I went to Graz (for me it was the 14th time to see DP). Sound was good and it was not as loud as they played in former days (but that’s OK). Surprise: DP played Rapture of the Deep and Black Night with […]

What a show! Highest point over all: Loosen my strings! Finally the band follow the fan request: we want more Morse-era Purple songs! The lowest point: The battles rages on: could be erased without problem. The show was not very well mixed, but the five guys were smiling and pushing hard more than ever, if […]
