“Ausverkaut” in Mannheim
Das kann man wörtlich nehmen. Ausverkauf ivon DP in Mannheim. So ein schlechtes Konzert habe ich nie gehört. Was mutet DP den Fans in den oberen Rängen zu. Ian Gillans Gesang war nicht zu höhren. Die Instrumente klangen wie bei einem illegalen Mitschnitt. Von dem Schall der immer zurück kam ganz zu schweigen. Die schlechteste […]

Am 18.3.1973 sah ich Deep Purple zum ersten mal im Hallenstadion in Zürich. Unzählige super Konzerte von Deep Purple fanden Jahr für Jahr in dieser Halle statt. Nun wurde das Hallenstadion modern umgebaut und hat Platz für 13 000 Fans. Es ist Sonntag Abend 19.2.2006. Der Weg zum Hallenstadion versetzt mich natürlich in die Vergangenheit. […]

I saw Deep Purple live in Helsinki on the 1st of February… The concert venue was the icehall of Helsinki. The place was full. There were only like twenty free spots in the hall. I don’t know the exact size of the audience, but I think there were about 7.000 people. The warmup band Crazy […]

This is the most professional show of the new line up and it features the best balanced set they have ever played. (I think I can say that, as I have seen the band on all their tours in the last 10 years.) If you have the chance: Do yourself an immense favour and go […]

Wow, what to say? It is quite easy – the best DP concert I have ever seen (it was my 8th since 1985). The SAP Arena is a fantastic venue and it was completely sold out. 14.000 people were as happy as the band was. Very effective light show. IG in very funny mood. Paicey […]

After half an hour break for rebuilding (it took quite a long time to take away the coffin, the corpse parts and the guillotine), which put he atmosphere down to zero again, it finally started. There were two big video screens at the sides of the stage, but only one worked, luckily the one at […]

Deep Purple came and brought the magic on this cold winter Tuesday in Paris. Just before 9 pm, the lights turned out, and on the big screens, we can see the five guys coming out of a big case and going on stage getting the enthusiasm of the audience. The classical ‘Pictures of Home’ opens […]

Last week we went to Brussel to see Deep Purple, for me for the 17th time Deep Purple in 15 years! We went with 13 people and it turned out to be great. At eleven a.m. we arrived at the Vorst National in Brussel. Because our day was not yet filled until the concert started, […]

I felt it like being home listening to my favourite musik, and I think that the band felt at home too. Gillan’s remarks about visiting old friends and so on, seems very nice combined with the fact that Deep Purple has their roots here in Denmark back in the late 60’s and it feels good. […]
