We saw them in Atlanta on the 12th (see review), and then made the trip to St. Louis and saw an entirely different show. Not necessarily the set list, but performance. First let me say that the Pageant Theatre is by far, the best venue I have been to for the pure enjoyment of a […]

Each time I see the band, it’s obvious that they love playing…. and love playing with each other! The breath of fresh air that Steve brought with […]
Read more »St. Louis: Packed venue, with an enthusiastic crowd who sang every word to nearly every song and started one of those spine-tingling exchanges of energy with the band. Synergy at its finest. It was electric, on every conceivable level. Hard core fans may be tired of the classics, but the audience in St. Louis didn’t […]

Read more »Friendly frill-free adrenalin A mostly graying haired sold out crowd of 40 yr old and 50 something fans gathered one night for an attempt to touch those late 70’s good time roots with the rock icons of the time. The current Deep Purple fan is more likely to be making corporate business deals on his […]
Read more »I have been a fan since In Rock, but this was my first opportunity to see the band live. I was sitting at a table right in front of the stage so I can give you a very up close account, will not include the set list as others have done that. I am also […]
Read more »First let me say how cool it was to see Deep Purple again. The last time was St. Petersburg, Fl in 1971 or so. I was impressed how accessible the band was to the crowd – lots of smiles & personal contact. The sound was awful – we were 15 rows up from the orchestra […]
Read more »This was the first time I’ve seen DP with Steve Morse… and he truly is a very fine guitarist. The show was a very good one (although I had wished they would have played “Child In Time”)… but the DP attitude was missing… That attitude of course is Ritchie Blackmore… and to me that’s what […]
