Decent show under the midnight sun

Lakselv, Northern Norway The set list was the same as Copenhagen, but without “Wrong man”. Paice is brilliant. Keeps the whole thing together with Glover, but no drum solo this night. Morse was also good, but no surprises for the die hard fans, but a lot of the show was new for most of the […]
