Magical sticks

See all of Daniele Purrone’s photos. House of blues in Atlantic City is quite a small place which is perfect for a great intimate atmosphere. Me and my friends had golden circle seats in the second row right in front of the stage. However, as soon as Purple hit the stage with Pictures of home […]

Paicey forgot his roll

See all of Daniel Purrone’s photos. Always a thrill to see the band in my hometown of Atlantic City, and had a great time with my older brother warming up at the Bar at the HOB. Last Purple show we saw together was reunion tour in ’84. I’ve lost count but I believe this was […]

Glover and Morse did ‘the Judas Priest’

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 […]

Tent treat in Boston

Great show at the Bank of America Pavilion on the Harbor on Tuesday night. The weather was perfect and the band was as well. Not a bad crowd for a Tuesday, and as usual around here, it takes two songs in and the crowd is warmed up. Sitting in the 7th row dead center, I […]

Unnerved by Airey

Boston: Once again I had the pleasure of seeing Deep Purple on tour. I’ve lost count of how many shows I’ve been to but each one has been amazing. This time I brought my 17 year old daughter and four of her friends along. Setlist is the same as previous reviews so I’ll skip that. […]

Best time with Morse

The triple bill of Edgar Winter/ BOC/ DP hit Connecticut last night and I ended up feeling rather lucky to have been there. Admittedly, we turned Edgar Winter’s show into a “view the big screens from the lobby while having beers with pals” experience. BOC were very good – tight and musical. Buck Dharma can […]

Better than expected

Wallingford, CT: I have been a Deep Purple fan since the early 70s. They are the best ever in my opinion. Edgar Winter was the opening act. Wow! He was great. His musical talent was tremendous, his energy and voice quality was excellent, and his band members; drummer, guitar and bass players were young and […]

Old pals on successful hunt for second youth

Last night, for the sixth time, I saw Deep Purple in concert. They played the Bank Of America Pavilion in South Boston, with Blue Oyster Cult opening. Accompanying me on this journey to reclaim lost youth was Fred Goodman, my softball teammate (and good friend) for 20 years. I met Fred at 6:00, giving us […]

Formidable frictionless force

Boston: Another special Deep Purple night went down under a massive tent overlooking Boston Harbor. The venue is beautiful and the band is a frictionless force that generates smiles and sends out massive amounts of great music and good feelings. My wife and I had the previous set list in hand, and therefore had a […]
