Unusually nice – Berlin

Nice show. It started with Alice Cooper. I saw them live for the first time. I liked their songs though these antics with a coffin and a guillotine were too macabre. But other acts, as throwing pearl necklaces, false dollars or big balloons, were awesome. Intriguing band! Deep Purple were cool as usual. Mr Gillan’s […]

What a show! – Stuttgart

Deep Purple rock the house down for two hours, the sound was clear and excellent, and the setlist the best for all the times – especially Living Wreck was good to hear as fresh as a new song with its howling keyboards followed by the funny Mary Long. Ian “Bare foot” Gillan was in good […]

A good place for Purple – Stuttgart

First of all – great to see a band not playing their old songs to satisfy the fans. The real fans want to hear the new songs and the goodies, but look at the back catalogue – what do they wanna hear. Well I don’t know – it is difficult for a band but I […]

What a show – Copenhagen

Hvilken koncert! Det er MEGET længe siden at Deep Purple har spillet så god en koncert. Sidst de var her, var det godt; men denne gang var det helt sublimt. Eneste misser var Pictures of Home, hvor lyden ikke var indstillet korrekt – og så Junkyard Blues, som var kedelig. Men hvilken spilleglæde! For første […]

Enjoyably Paicey – Oslo

I live in the UK, but have traveled to the Oslo Spektrum twice now to see Purple. I’m not great at remembering setlists, but as far as I remember, it was identical to the one already listed for the Copenhagen concert, with the exception of Hush being replaced by Speed king. Apart from a few […]

Magic from Brussels

At last! A DP concert! Can you believe it?! I’ve been a fan of DP since 1974 , and I still didn’t manage to attend any of their concerts (don’t be surprised, I live in Iraq, and so I think you can imagine the efforts I needed to attend DP concerts). But at last my […]
