The show started right on time, at 9:00 PM, and last for two hours. The following set list was played (no suprise […]

Something spiritual in Uruguay

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 […]

Cournon: True professionals

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 […]

French enthusiasm Toulouse

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, […]

Toulouse: Thanks for the love

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 […]

Personal report from Yekaterinburg

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. […]
