KB-Hallen has been a part of the regular circuit for DP for quite a long time now and we have high expectations as they have always delivered when they hit this stage. As Roger Glover put it, it is a part of the band’s history. They certainly took up the challenge, especially the three Mark […]

Lots and lots of solos and improvs spread out through the setlist. New transitions, new starts, new middle section jams, new endings. The Contact Lost – guitar solo -> Sometimes I feel Like Screaming -> guitar solo -> The Well Dressed Guitar section was clever, amazing and beautiful. That one combined with 3 monumental songs […]

This tour’s set list is somewhat more brave than the previous years, although it reflects the bands 41 year career very well. The band sounded very tight as always and the sound and mixing was very god, at least were I was standing. The also had two rather large projector screens on the sides of […]

Once again Deep Purple in Copenhagen, and what a gig, just awesome in a full KB Hallen with approx. 35 degrees Celcius. It was hot like a sauna. The sound was good and all members were excellent, but I have to say, Steve Mores was outstanding, he was playing as if he came from another […]

All the Scandinavian dates that we had listed in our tour dates calendar for a while now are also confirmed. One more date was added: Meri Päivät (Sea Days) Festival in Kotka, Finland on July 17. (I know, technically Finland is not Scandinavia, but let’s not raise a fuss about it, shall we? 😉 )

My friend, Dave, and I attended the shows in Copenhagen, Linköping, Tallinn, and Riga, amid a Scandinavian adventure that included a stop in a remote struggling fishing village at the northeast tip of the European continent. All of the shows were excellent, and each had its own little variety or nuance. KB Hallen was kinda […]

I attended the gig in Copenhagen with a VIP-ticket. Very excited to see the backstage and meet DP. At 6 PM I met other VIP-fans and this was very fine to talk to other big fans of DP. We got a tour by Gordon from the DP-staff and he did a real good job showing […]

I guess we get the best of both worlds on the current DP tour. The energy level is high and the setlist is interesting enough to enjoy even after 40 years(!). In Copenhagen we got the kind of show we expected – with dynamics, humor, improvisation and virtuosity. The setlist is working fine to build […]
