|  Milano 16 july 1999  
  Abandon 1999: Total Abandon: Great Performance, as always, of my dear greatest fantastic wonderful DP.The beginning is strange: "The boys are back in town"!
 But, when start "Pictures of Home" I found my magic music.
 Ted - Strange - Bloodsucker - 69 (with something of "The Mule").
 But now Ian "the Voice, the Super Voice" Gillan begins to be himself:
 Woman from Tokyo: superb. Sometimes: excellent. Watching the sky: tears in my eyes for emotion.
 Space Truckin': People is all crazy! Steve and Roger are fantastic.
 Steve solo: by now I don't regret Ritchie (I saw Ritchie in Vigevano 3 July: my old Ritchie!! Awful music but always great Ritchie: Ritchie learnt to speak on stage at 54 years old: may be Candice???).
 Lazy: the my usual great fantastic Ian Gillan (why did You cut your hair? I' m just your age  but my hair is always long!!!!). My friend Silvana and my daughter Valentina say that You are always beautiful, also with short hair.
 Smoke: for all old and young People.
 Jon solo: the best organist of the world.
 Perfect strangers: I said that God exists because Purple Music exists.
 Speed King: with Roger solo and Ian Paice solo: marvellous!!
 Ian sings "O sole mio" in English: vey nice!!
 Bis: Black night and Highway Star: Ciao DP: I love you forever.
 See you in Brescia Sunday with my usual DP friend Carlo Alberto and my son Daniele. See you in Rome Tuesday.
 DP forever. Ian Dreamcatcher Gillan: I love you.
