Sajam - Hala 1, Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro

Ticket price: 1000 din (approx. 17$)
Visitors: 25,000!
After 28 years Deep Purple performed in Belgrade. I'm only 20 so it was my first chance to see them in concert. It was scheduled for 20:00 but it started about 21:00 because it took some time for 25,000 people to enter in, because the space was predicted for about 18,000 people. When it finally started I was amazed by the sound. I never heard anything like that before, I could feel Roger's bass with my whole body, amaizing. The song order was like on previous concerts so I will not bother with it. Highway star was the opener and Hush and Black Night for encore. Although Ritchie Blackmore is my favorite guitarist I must admit that Steve was absolutely brilliant! He's a very modern and precise player and can play really good (sometimes too fast, though, but I don't mind). Also, I'd like to thank them for great gig I'll never forget.
