Spodek is exciting – Katowice

To live in Poland and to miss a Deep Purple gig in Katowice is like to be in Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower:). Spodek is still exciting and so are DP gigs there. The show started with one of our best progressive rock group. I always liked SBB, so I was happy to see […]

A Saurcerful Of Purple – Katowice

That was my 3rd DP gig. I saw them in 2003 in the same venue, and then half a year later in Warsaw. It’s hard to tell which gig was the best. All of them were absolutely amazing. “Spodek” (“Saucer” – named after it’s UFO-like shape) was (almost) full this friday. Hardly any seat empty […]

After the Rocky Alice Cooper Horror Show we had to wait a little while. The tension was high. And then… They started and the sold out Olympiahalle exploded. A few bars of Pictures of Home and we were immediately in. You could see them, hear them,feel their music: THE GODFATHERS OF ROCK. Imagine: There is […]

The drum duet solo at the end of the performance was excellent. But of course everybody was waiting for the main dish. The Purples […]

Rapturous Magic in Katowice

Auf Deutsch – Linz

Was mir sehr gelegen kam waren die beiden riesigen Videoleinwände am Bühnenrand, so daß ich mit meinem Handy ein paar Fotos machen konnte! Auf fiel mir, daß Steve Morse mit neuem Gitarren-Equipment spielte. Er fiedelte auch nicht mehr so wie früher von Anfang bis zum Ende, das tlw. recht anstrengend war. Er klang wesentlich härter […]

Perfect – but no Strangers! – Linz

We enjoyed this perfect band in Linz, where Airey, Gillan, Glover, Morse and Paice held the audience for about 2 (!) hours. The concert started at 9 p.m. with a video-sequence. The members of the band came out of a box and entered the stage. Nice! The sound was very good, clear and powerful from […]
