Zabrze, Poland, 1993

Professionally shot footage from Purple show in Zabrze, Poland on October 31, 1993, has surfaced. Local TV crews are routinely given permission to film part of the show to accompany news coverage.

Purple magicians improve Polish acoustics

We were so glad to hear SBB (Search, Break and Build) live again. The guys were awesome as usual. JĂłzef Skrzek and Apostolis Antimos are indefatigable! So is our band. The musicians must have been magicians. We were surprised by such good acoustics of the Torwar hall. How did they make it better? All our […]

Warsaw with Guns

For the second time this year I was lucky enough to see and hear one of the greatest bands in the history of music. This was my fourth DP gig overall and I will surely see them again if they come back some day. The setlist was no surprise – the same as during the […]

A Saurcerful Of Purple – Katowice

That was my 3rd DP gig. I saw them in 2003 in the same venue, and then half a year later in Warsaw. It’s hard to tell which gig was the best. All of them were absolutely amazing. “Spodek” (“Saucer” – named after it’s UFO-like shape) was (almost) full this friday. Hardly any seat empty […]

Box of rock – Katowice

I heard my favourite band in Spodek once again. Actually it was my third concert of DP. The support band was SBB, polish rock dinosaurs. They warmed the audience quite well. The drum duet solo at the end of the performance was excellent. But of course everybody was waiting for the main dish. The Purples […]

Rapturous Magic in Katowice

The performance was spotless. It was loud. The band is in a class of its own. The Purps started about 9 p.m. But before Them we could hear the polish band SBB. With all the respect to Jozef Skrzek and the rest of musicians their performance wasn’t what I expected.. The sound was poor. Skrzek’s […]
