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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Comments Off on A good place for Purple – Stuttgart
The show was great! When I came into the arena I was overwhelmed by the Purple Fans of Hungary. Suddenly we could see a box titled “The Band” on the screens. Then Deep Purple came out from the box and Ian Paice started drumming, so they started with Pictures of home. Next song was Things […]

Comments Off on Legends at the Spektrum – Oslo
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 […]

Comments Off on What a show – Copenhagen
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 […]

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 […]
