Deep Purple - Reading, Rivermead UK

Friday, 16 February 1996


PART 2 OF MY review:

The band have a different layout:

Steve Morse on the left Jon facing the audience at the back just left of Centre Big Ian everywhere, tom toms towards the back just to the right of Jon Paicey towards the right and Roger in Front of him on the right.

Sound quality was fantastic, generally the best mix I've heard at any gig for some time. Steve's guitar very clean and clear without being too loud, Jon's organ very clear and it was easy to make out every word from Big Ian. Bass and drums clear and not distorting.

New IG quote for the record after some problems in between tracks:

"We're turning professional next week!"

Novelty: the guitar keeps playing when the spotlight is on one of the other band memb ers!!

Band clearly enjoying it all and working very hard. The new tracks stand out as being more rhythmically interesting.
