Bologna live broadcast
Deep Purple performance in Bologna on December 16th will be broadcast live by the Italian RAI Radio 2 starting at 8 p.m. GMT. You can launch the player at the Radio 2 website or from the main RAI page (select “Diretta Radio” from the top menu, then Radio2 icon in the player window).
Thanks to Francesco from Deep Purple Italia for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
what time might that be in US time. Eastern time, 3pm maybe?
December 14th, 2009 at 21:10Thanks for the information, i tried to listen to the radio on the net but I can’t hear a thing. So if someone knows how to listen please write and tell me.
December 14th, 2009 at 21:49Me and my 5 friends are going to listen it together @ my house…
can’t wait for the show…
December 14th, 2009 at 22:17This is the last concert of Rapture of the Deep World Tour…
OZ: 3 pm, yes. Everyone wondering about the time in their timezone can click on the “8 pm GMT” link above for a list of times in all timezones.
December 14th, 2009 at 22:20@Anders – i double checked the links posted by nick, and they work fine. however, here’s the direct link to the player: http://www.rai.tv/dl/RaiTV/popup/player_radio.html?v=2
the stram should work from all over the world with no problems.
@Svante – that timezone list thing is smart! :p
—
let’s keep fingers crossed and hope that the servers of the radio will not crash due to the number of (unexpected) listeners via web.
i warned RAI, but you never know what kind of surprises to expect…
December 14th, 2009 at 23:58Anders:
You need RealPlayer to listen it. download it for free from here: http://www.real.com/
then install the player, restart your browser and then enjoy 🙂
OZ: go to the link: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/gmt-converter.htm
it’s GMT converter site, so you can find out when will it start at your town… remember the concert broadcasting begins at 8:00pm GMT…
dear site admins, please update this post and let users know how to play radio (with RealPlayer) and when will the show start…
December 15th, 2009 at 00:23Nice, if the show is anything like Manchester last month should be in for a treat, anyone know how to record a radio show?
December 15th, 2009 at 01:46ANDERS…i have same issue but i think it might be a simple case of downloading Microsoft Silverlite which is; ” Microsoft Silverlight is a web application framework that provides functionalities similar to those in Adobe Flash, integrating multimedia, graphics, animations and interactivity into a single runtime environment.”
I mention this because i also tried the main RAI page and i noticed when i clicked on a video it didn’t play but i was prompted to download Silverlite.
Havn’t tried yet but it seems kinda logical(?).
December 15th, 2009 at 08:29It’s a great idea to broadcast the gig live by radio. The more so because nobody knows when (and if) the event will be recorded on DVD. Thanks! I hope every fan will be able to catch Radio Italiano 🙂
December 15th, 2009 at 11:17rik:
i don’t think you need silverlight for the radio. the RAI player is all javascript and audio stream is realmedia.
just open http://www.radio.rai.it/live/radio2.ram in realplayer. although, i can’t get anything higher than 32 kbps from that stream.
December 15th, 2009 at 15:53the live transmission starts at 21.00 o’clock (italian o’clock) not at 20.00
http://www.rai.it/dl/Radio2/musica.html
I confirm that streaming is on

today DP play in my town,Milan,but I lost my job 4 months ago and I can’t go to see Them,I can not afford.
this is a sad day to me
very sad
yesterday in TV I saw news-program and they spoke and showed about DP in Rome:
great sound and great wors for DP: THEY are still’rocking on over the world!
take this midley about Rome
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y65AT5Z2o2I
I love you all purplepeople..
ciao
December 15th, 2009 at 16:35A
don’t worry about the quality guys, people in italy will most likely rip the DAB signal (digital radio), so hopefully we’re gonna have an HQ boot after the live stream
December 15th, 2009 at 19:27here’s the clip AndreA was talking about: http://www.tg2.rai.it/dl/RaiTV/programmi/media/ContentItem-71228df9-c3f4-4bbf-8caa-890d1d5cd9c2.html
it was in yesterday’s daily news update TG2 on public tv RAI2.
although the player says “deep purple in perugia”, the live clips are from saturday’s gig in rome.
no mention of tomorrow’s radio broadcast – that’s how smart RAI is.
also, i don’t really understand why they start talking about led zeppelin, acdc, rolling stones… they probably didn’t know how to fill the space if they had to talk only about DP :S
December 15th, 2009 at 20:15sweet!!!
December 15th, 2009 at 23:56At that very moment, I will be proctering a test for my Spanish II class.
Denied!
December 16th, 2009 at 03:02My digital receiver only has a channel for Italian Radio 1, I will have to try to find it on internet…
December 16th, 2009 at 09:52http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsmQB6JoK28
really great performance….I saw them in Perugia…now I wait for a new record and a new show…
December 16th, 2009 at 12:35@17
Now then, can’t complain for the life of you Roberto, imagine that! Where is the long Purple face now? Proof that its all in the mind! You should see them everyday, it would likely have a more positive affect on you. lol!
December 16th, 2009 at 17:32the show will start in 15 minutes.
December 16th, 2009 at 19:46Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaow
and here it is – HIGHWAY STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR
December 16th, 2009 at 20:10ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!
December 16th, 2009 at 20:14Cant help myself
Listening right now……
Apart from the bewildering aspect of man not understanding that he gets away with the same soloing all the time……
After a while Gillan gets in quite resonable shape, including the emberassing parts ofcourse……but hey, what can you do and expect?…..Paicey and Roger are in solid form…….and the sound is good…….some wine and food, its enjoyable not too bad at all…..
But can someone silence that radio mad man talking bs again and again?
Its good he tries to educate uninformed casial listeners but hey…….too much is too much.
How stupid can aman get, talking WHEN a song is beiong played.
JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP MAN!!!!!
Back to the show,……
Getting back to ya, if God and Svante allows me…..
Burp….
December 16th, 2009 at 20:53Listening live at the moment! Currently on “Lazy” sounds great apart from the idiot announcer ruining it by jabbering over the first minute of every song!
December 16th, 2009 at 21:07Lazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy………

December 16th, 2009 at 22:20I’ve just listened the show and was amazing!, best sound ever for a radio broadcast.
Unfortunately I was confused about the time and recorded only the second hour of the show in wav format with excelente quality.
You can find this recording in mp3 format here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ENVO4FFQ right now.
Long live Purple!
Cheers!

December 17th, 2009 at 16:45gloriously wild mix, gillan sounded like he was in the room but roger was barely audible. overall they sounded great!! shame about the dj rambling on between and over songs.
thanks for the tip nick(10).
December 17th, 2009 at 17:32I recorded Wasted Sunsets and put it on youtube to some of my pictures of mmm, Sunsets!

December 17th, 2009 at 18:41What a waste of time the broadcast was, either Italian DJs are useless or Bruce Payne said yes you my air the show but no one may listen to it, total waste of bandwidth.
December 17th, 2009 at 19:35Re: 17
At the five minute mark, Deep Purple does a tribute to “T”. ;p
December 18th, 2009 at 03:07Well a Russian friend made a nice and complete recording of the show, the mp3 320kb files can be found here:

Overall a very clean show and proof positive that even today, Purple can maintain a level of quality that the youngsters can only wish for.
The announcer’s penchant for gabbing was quite annoying. While his enthusiasm and excitement were appreciated, most listeners already know the stories and are familiar with the songs and personnel. This wasn’t a football match requiring a play-by-play. I can excuse between-song banter, but talking over music–especially over singing–is inexcusable. It’s going to take some creative cutting and cross-fading to make this listenable. Perhaps the über-talking was all intended to frustrate the bootleggers.
Other than that… Fantastico! Sensazionale! Buono spettacolo!
December 20th, 2009 at 16:22if you search my recording,i’m sure that you’ll be happy of this [W’sB Release]
December 20th, 2009 at 18:28@45
i completely understand your point.
on the other hand, we have to consider that there was a lot of people listening, and they didn’t even know who DP are, who’s in the band, what’s the story behind SOTW, which song was being played, which album was that song from….
in my opinion, the dj did a good job as he introduced and contextualised almost every song, so that every listener could at least have an idea of what was going on on stage.
in other words, the live broadcast was not meant for the bootleg maniacs/collectors, but for the “generic public”.
by the way, RAI confirmed that over 150k people tuned in for the show (this figure doesn’t include the web / satellite stream, so all of you are excluded :p).
December 21st, 2009 at 00:16@40
Care to share with us what you mean?
@47
December 22nd, 2009 at 10:41“US?” Yawn! We don’t matter none?
Thanks Martin (Post #33) for the megaupload link, BUT this is the last half of the show. Does anyone have the link for the first half? Cheers,Drdp
December 22nd, 2009 at 11:13FRA,
December 23rd, 2009 at 03:31” RAI confirmed that over 150k people tuned in for the show”
what does it mean “150K people?” so what’s “K”?
George: k=kilo=1,000. 150k=150,000.
December 23rd, 2009 at 21:15Svante, thanks…
December 24th, 2009 at 08:24wow, 150 000 people who tuned the radio (not including web-listeners) so huge number 🙂
Well this was my best Christmas present in many years so far.
I ThaaaaaaaaankYooooooooouuuu!!! Deep Purple
Best wishes to you guys forever!
And nice holydays for all purple fans
Cheers!

But You will have to listen to the DJ first!
Cheers
December 30th, 2009 at 08:43It s a bit sour again but…..
From a true source……
What does it mean when the people of DPAS headquarters have other things to do at a moment a show like this is broadcasted?!
