The Hampton Beach Casino is a great place to see bands, small, reserved seating and located in a kind of time warp, along the Hampton Beach scene of Skeeball, Pinball and Fried dough… the best of Americana. I must admit that I was hesitant to go, having seen Deep Purple numerous times in their heyday […]
Read more »See all of Daniele Purrone’s photos. New York: I had bought a pair of tix to the show during the pre-sale before I knew if my buddy could go and as it turned out, he couldn’t. So, standing in front of the arena 2 1/2 hours before the show to sell my ticket, I got […]
Read more »Saw DP last night @ Club Casino, Hampton Beach, NH. They were truly professional, spot on performance, tight 1.5 hr show. It looked like they were having a great time on stage. Hard to believe Big Ian can still hit those notes. His voice held up just fine. Set list similar to what has been […]
Read more »Radio City Music Hall is perhaps the nicest venue in all of New York City, and a perfect place to see two outstanding and long-standing rock groups, (the original) Vanilla Fudge and Deep Purple.

Vanilla Fudge put on a surprisingly energetic show opening with a mid-tempo cover of the Zombies’ “She’s Not There”. The highlight of their set was definitely […]

Read more »See all of Daniele Purrone’s photos. House of blues in Atlantic City is quite a small place which is perfect for a great intimate atmosphere. Me and my friends had golden circle seats in the second row right in front of the stage. However, as soon as Purple hit the stage with Pictures of home […]
Read more »See all of Daniel Purrone’s photos. Always a thrill to see the band in my hometown of Atlantic City, and had a great time with my older brother warming up at the Bar at the HOB. Last Purple show we saw together was reunion tour in ’84. I’ve lost count but I believe this was […]
