Europe 2001
Deep Purple's European tour 2001 is over. It went from
headlining festivals in Scandinavia via a bizarre three night stint
at a Monte Carlo casino to a hot summer rain in Greece. Temporary guest
Don Airey stood in for Jon Lord on keyboards as Lord was recuperating
at home from recent knee surgery. Hopefully he will be well and fit
for the band's upcoming writing sessions for the next album.
