Very good night in Rennes
Seventh time that I see the Purps in concert. The show was fresh and energetic. Enthusiastic crowd. They played loud.
Same list than Lyon with a great opener Hard Loving Man. The guys were in a fine form, even if Gillan had always some problems with his voice.
Highlights: Hard Loving Man, Rapture of the Deep, When a Blind Man Cries, Almost Human, Perfect Strangers, Lazy with great work from Don Airey.
Encore; Highway Star, Hush, Black night.
Lights show were also good. Two hours of happiness. Maybe nostalgia? Audience: 3500

Leray,
Highway Star wasn’t played in Lyon. The setlist was identical to Montpellier and Bordeaux.
November 28th, 2010 at 20:39It was the last gig with Hard Lovin’ Man as an opener and Highway Star as an encore.
