San Antonio: The Majestic was about 3/4’s full but roudy and still amazed at the age spread to see the boys. The show was fantastic! I have self-christened myself to be the number 1 fan from Texas (Austin – Houston) since 1968. This concert was the closest I have been to them. As usual, the […]

The song list was the same as the previous review, but I don’t remember them doing The Battle Rages On. (could have been the beer though). I have been to this venue at least 20 times, and have never seen that many people there. The sound was kind of muddy, but the show was still […]

The Hard Rock Hotel’s “The Joint” was the venue in Las Vegas. My wife and I flew from Seattle, WA and met up with a friend from Great Falls, Montana here in Las Vegas. Deep Purple missed the Northwest part of the United States on this Rapture tour. The show was great. They have changed […]

San Diego: It took five years to see Deep Purple back in San Diego again (I would prefer to live in France, you know why), last time was in 2002 at the Coors Amphitheatre with Scorpions and Dio. This time it was also a great experience, but quite different, the place was small and appropiate […]

Last night, while visiting in Denver, Colorado USA I had the time of my life rockin’ with Ian, Ian, Roger, Don and the almighty Steve (I tell you, that guy’s smile is contagious and I am a GUY). The band was having so much fun the enjoyment permeated the entire audience and Ian Gillan is […]

Denver: After the local band was finished, it was nice to see a big stage with no monitors. This is especially appealing to someone who was right up front like I was. It was quite intense since I realized afterward that I enjoyed every song. The only problem was that there was such a low […]

This show was announced with less than weeks noticed and was booked at a venue that maxed out around 425. The unofficial word from an employee the following day was the crowd reached over half capacity. The show didn’t get much press outside of the Aspen area. But Aspen has rockers! I talked with several […]

San Francisco: With all the talk about song lists, and, what should be on it or off it, August 15th, 2007 brought this lad back to what really matters – Deep Purple on stage lovin’ life and the music they play. Ya, know what, I even wrote in a blog that I’d only go to […]

Phoenix: Yeah! Everything I expected from the band and more! I am a 40 year old who used to listen to my big brothers 8-tracks, been rockin for a long time, been to many concerts. The Perfect Stangers tour in the 80’s was the best concert I had ever been to….untill Rapture From The Deep. […]

A band ON! San Francisco: To begin, this was the 8th time I’ve seen Deep Purple in concert. 3 times with MKII, 2 times with MKIII, and 3 times with MKVIII. The show at the Warfield was one of the best shows I have ever seen with the band. From the beginning of Pictures Of […]
