Desde hace 3 meses que conoci la noticia ..Increible noticia, que Purple venia a Cordoba, no deje de pensar en el show. Sabia que si venian solo a Bs. Aires cabia la posibilidad que no pudiese verlos, pero se me dio y anoche tuve mi “primera cita” con esta Impresionante banda de Rock and roll […]

Comments Off on Deep Purple in Córdoba
This is a review of Deep Purple’s latest appearance in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Nine years ago, I saw them, also in this city, during the Purpendicular Tour. This new gig, however, was better. The show started right on time, at 9:00 PM, and last for two hours. The following set list was played (no suprise […]

Comments Off on Purple Night in Curitiba
After a few days the details of the concert slip away. Just can´t recall if Morse played a Zep. riff (which he did) or if Airey played the imperial march (which he did)… Who cares if they played Thing´s I never Said (wonderful song) or if Ian Gillan “ghosttravelled” the stage during Rapture Of The […]

Comments Off on Something spiritual in Uruguay
At the afternoon, the rain makes me think that there’s no concert today, but at 8 p.m the rain is over. We are two Deep Purple fans. We never saw the group before, and it was their first time in Uruguay. The Velodromo was full (outdoor) and the expectations were big. After the local support […]

Comments Off on Globetrotting in France
I went to the Deep Purple concert in France at the Zenith in Clermont Ferrand and had the most amazing experience, watching what can only be called true professionals. The music was the best I had ever heard, and full compliments to the most incredible signing voice. I always thought the group were incredible on […]

Comments Off on Cournon: True professionals
Last thursday, I held my 35th birthday at my thirteenth gig of the Deep, in the Zenith of Toulouse and fourteenth in the Musik Halle in Rennes (South & North-West of France). “Crazy!” as said Paicey, You ‘right mate! I’m mad about that music… During the day the band came in town for some signatures, […]

Comments Off on French enthusiasm Toulouse
Just back from Toulouse were the gods of rock & roll played last night. For the last 13 years IAN G., ROGER G., IAN P., STEVE M. & DON A. worked very hard to rebuild DP from the ashes left by RITCHIE B. (I didn’t want to mention him but…). I think last night the […]

Comments Off on Toulouse: Thanks for the love
The event I have been waiting for for two years happened. Deep Purple came to Yekaterinburg again. We were lucky that the band arrived on the day before the show, on Sunday, the 15th of October. So they were not in a hurry and had some more free time than they usually have in tours. […]
