Wow … what a great concert it was. Congratulations to the guys. This was the way the fans want to experience Deep Purple Stuff. They were in a really great shape, everyone of them. Especially the enormously powerful “The Battle Rages On”, “Sometimes I Fell Like Screaming”, “Knocking At Your Back Door” and “Highway Star” […]

Zuerst: Tolle Leistung der Band. Leider nicht eine Ballade. Dafür reichlich Klassiker. Schade: Die Tontechniker waren nicht in der Lage, die schlechte Akkustik der Halle auszugleichen. So kam beim Publikum eigentlich nur ein Lärmbrei an. Zeitweise waren die Verzerrungen und Überlagerungen so stark, dass man glaubte, Steve hätte das Gitarrespielen verlernt. Liebe Band: deshalb war […]

I was surprised by this very emotional gig last night in Erfurt. The absolutely great support act Gotthard made the Messehalle turn into a ring of fire. Perfect show and great sound! After about an hour of wonderful Rock’n’Roll Deep Purple entered the stage. And while several people in the crowd where transported to the […]

Six months ago, when I bougth tickets I wasn´t sure whether the setlist would be worth the euros or not. With no new album around it would be either the same old ROTD setlist as in Kiel three years ago, or just another best of – revue, or so I thought. I should not have […]

For years and years I am complaining about the seltist. And now the big surprise: Yesterday in Hannover I was absolutely satisfied with it. Deep Purple gave us a two hour concert, Gillan in very, very good shape, the band superb. Highlight for me was Don´s solo spot. Crowd pleaser was – Smoke… A good […]

Last Sunday, August 3, Deep Purple played a show at one of most unusual rock’n’roll venues — a monastery in Bavaria, Germany. Kloster Benediktbeuern dates back to the 10th century and still serves as home to about 45 monks of the Salesian order. What’s even more unusual is that the Archabbot Notker Wolf joined them […]
