Bananas World Tour - Asia

"I never thought that such a few people could make so much noise."
Chen Lanfen, 19-year-old Beijing student

After a very succesful North American tour, Deep Purple took off for the Far East. The atmosphere at the initial Japanese show was ecstatic with audience reactions surprising even the band.
In China however, the band were brought back down to earth by authority clamp downs. One report said, "the police took over the first show and would not let any fans onto the floor near the band, so the audience was 75 feet away from the front of the stage. Very strange."
Read more in the reviews below.
As always, if you catch a Deep Purple show anywhere, let us know how it was (no attachments!)
