Just want to let you know that I went to the Deep Purple/Status Quo concert last night (10th May) and I have to say that the whole experience was totally awesome. When Roger Glover personally bent over, looked at me and threw me his pick, I could of died of heart palpitations right then and […]
Read more »Thanks to Deep Purple for a great show at the Hordern Pavilion on the 9th May in Sydney. The Hordern has the worst acoustics in Sydney. It also has 1970’s style lighting and seating. But, in spite of the venue, Deep Purple rocked big time. I went to the gig as I’m a big fan […]

Read more »Purple were supported by Status Quo and Cosmic Storm. The set list was slightly abbreviated due to time restraints and unfotunately we didn’t get to hear Living Wreck, a song I’ve waited a long time to hear live (dang!) A friend and I commented that Purple would have to be on their toes tonight as […]
Read more »I consider myself lucky to see Purple again and enjoyed listening to a gig of very professional musicians. I enjoyed the venue again in which they played (Brisbane Convention centre) and I thought the sound was very clear and precise. All the members of the band were in top form and like always seemed to […]
Read more »A friend and I flew up from Wellington on Thursday afternoon (after seeing Deep Purple there the night before). The venue in Auckland was a small theatre, which I think is a much better choice compared to Wellington’s Events Centre. So much more intimate and purpose built for usic so better acoustics. We arrived in […]
Read more »I managed to see both Melbourne concerts last weekend. Firstly I didn’t like the warm up act Status Quo, I believe a Australian act would have been more appropriate such as Jimmy Barns, or Inxs. [So you obviously missed Sydney’s finest, Mandrake, who played before SQ… Rasmus] They opened the set with Pictures of Home, […]
Read more »Attended the first Melbourne show on Saturday night. The opening act, Mandrake, were woeful. A total waste of half an hour that could’ve been tacked on the end of Deep Purple’s set time. Status Quo were pretty good. I think I enjoyed their set more than I thought I would, although, they had more amplifiers […]
