Talk about hard touring band… We’ve just received tour dates for the October/November Deep Purple tour of Germany. These are preliminary dates, they come from the site of promoter Klaus Bönisch, and at this point are very unconfirmed and subject to change. Deep Purple have never been strangers in Germany and tour there almost every […]

					We were so glad to see Deep Purple live again. We wish they played more ROTD songs, but the gig was awesome as usual. Ian looked so nice in his white shirt and blue jeans. We wonder why he doesn’t wear this sort of trousers more often. They suit him so well. One weak point […]

					Last night in Osnabrück I managed to witness the most interesting Purple gig I’ve ever seen. During the second song (Things I never said) Don´s – or better still Jon´s old – Hammond stopped working, also the keyboard on top of he Hammond, “which is used in many of our songs,” said Gillan. So Don […]

					The boys were back in town, or better said – in the city of the future as Gillan ironically described the venue during the show. However, reframed by the giant excavators from past times the band was in absolutely brilliant condition. Spirits were high on stage whereas the Trinity of Gillan/Glover/Morse had its lion’s share […]

					After I have seen a lot of DP shows over the last 21 years, DP visited a small town very close to my hometown – I could go there by bike! Only a few words on Alice Cooper – his music and live act is not my cup of tea – but I appreciated the […]

					Actually, it wasn’t my idea to write a review of Deep Purple’s concert. It was my Dad’s. In his opinion it was a ‘progressive rock show’ and I want to add it was fabulous, because I’m not good at using words I don’t know the meaning. OK, we’re talking about the Deep Purple gig in […]

					After the Rocky Alice Cooper Horror Show we had to wait a little while. The tension was high. And then… They started and the sold out Olympiahalle exploded. A few bars of Pictures of Home and we were immediately in. You could see them, hear them,feel their music: THE GODFATHERS OF ROCK. Imagine: There is […]
