What a koncert! – Kopenhagen

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. […]

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 […]

Purple snow in Budapest

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 […]
