See all of Daniele Purrone’s photos. As I was unable to attend the St. Louis show, it was up to my brother Jim (a.k.a. “JJ”) to check out Deep Purple in Atlantic City. He has no internet connection, so I decided to relay the events of the night in his stead. The plan was to […]

After reading the other review of Chicago, I sat back and said to myself – what show was this guy at because it certaintly was not the same Deep Purple show I saw.. First let me say something about the openers Supagroup. These guys put on a great show.. They played rock and roll the […]

Chicago: The boys were back in town Sunday night to play to a jammed packed House of Blues (unfortunately jammed because two nights were whittled to one). Prior to main event, the crowd had to suffer through the strains of New Orleans based Supagroup. While Supagroup rocked competently, they added nothing that wasn’t derivative of […]

Orlando went Space truckin’ Orlando: While I realize people are reading this website because of their interest in Deep Purple, I don’t think it would be fair to begin my review of last Friday’s show without some mention of Edgar Winter. The show started off slowly. EW doing his thing…. especially on Frankenstein, but when […]

Orlando: The venue was packed. Every inch of the house: in front of the stage, up the stairs, on the balconies, and overflowing into the backstage area was heaped with enthusiastic people. It was a truly amazing show, with a very European feel. The audience had a quality response to Black Night, unusual for North […]

I loved the show. They all looked and sounded great. Good light show for a small facility like House Of Blues. I have been a fan of Deep Purple since the early 70’s and have bought all their albums up to and including Rapture of the deep. I wish they would have played more of […]

To me Deep Purple never got as much recognition as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and it’s a shame. I grew up as a HUGE Ritchie Blackmore fan. I loved Made In Japan when all my peers were into the music of the 80’s. When I found out that one of the three axis of […]

HOB was packed. Don’t know if it sold out, but it looked like it. Show was good, not great. Edgar Winter was the opener and that’s all that needs to be said about that, now on to Purple. The mix was good except that the keyboards were louder than Morse and we could hardly hear […]

Orlando: Had to stand through Edgar Winter…. oh well. DP hit at about 9pm and set sail. Non stop for the first four with a little talk. Very crisp and clean and professional. No frills if you get my meaning. Nice to see a band actually look like they are enjoying themselves. I have a […]
