Varese: Same same and fantastic

The ‘same’ great show. The audience was hot, the music was loud and powerful, the band was OK. They can play everything. Very good the four-tracks-four beginning. Mary Long, Perfect Strangers and Smoke (after 1.223 times) are always a pleasure. Great job by Steve during Black Night; for the first time I heard Loosen my […]

Pictures of Milano

Best show in Milano

After many DP shows in Milan, this is been the first where group use large screens at side of the stage. Strange that they’re using them in the smallest venue available in city where everyone is able to see the show as to be on the stage. Probably this has been the best DP show […]
