Things I Never Said – Mannheim

This is the most professional show of the new line up and it features the best balanced set they have ever played. (I think I can say that, as I have seen the band on all their tours in the last 10 years.) If you have the chance: Do yourself an immense favour and go […]

Pure power – Mannheim

Wow, what to say? It is quite easy – the best DP concert I have ever seen (it was my 8th since 1985). The SAP Arena is a fantastic venue and it was completely sold out. 14.000 people were as happy as the band was. Very effective light show. IG in very funny mood. Paicey […]

We all came out to Brussels

Last week we went to Brussel to see Deep Purple, for me for the 17th time Deep Purple in 15 years! We went with 13 people and it turned out to be great. At eleven a.m. we arrived at the Vorst National in Brussel. Because our day was not yet filled until the concert started, […]
