Enthusiastic – Auckland

First time I’ve seen the boys outside of England so I wasn’t sure of what the crowd would be like. I’ve got to say that for a band that have been going for nigh on 40 years they’ve got a lot of fans in their 20’s and they absolutely loved them. Personally, I think this […]

Well done in Wellington

Another excellent gig from Deep Purple, well worth the trip up from Invercargill [Oi! From one end of the world to the other: Hello! 🙂 Rasmus] (a pity that there was no gig in New Zealand’s South Island this time around). The band played a tight performance and I felt enjoyed themselves in the making, […]

Amazing night in Auckland

What can I say? Tonight’s gig was truly phenomenal. The guys just keep getting better as the years go by. There was indeed a huge turnout. The venue was very much full. The biggest surprise of the evening for me was that they played Living Wreck. I was totally blown away and that was by […]

Triumphant in an Aircraft Hangar – Wellington

Purple kicked off the next leg of their World Tour in a small aircraft hangar known as the Events Centre in Wellington. It was a mixed bag. The sound at times was truly awful, a common problem at this venue. We couldn’t hear Paicey’s intro to Pictures and the keyboards were inaudible at times. Compared […]

Pictures of Milano

I came from Livorno (Tuscany) all alone to see the guys and their show and I am sure I have done the right thing! Some people say “Deep Purple are old.” Bullshits! This was my first Deep Purple live experience and I can surely say that they play, they really play! I am a big […]

Noche Negra en Argentina

Casi inesperada, la segunda llegada de la banda al sur del mundo en apenas cinco meses, nos lleno de alegria. El lugar del concierto, el mítico Luna Park, donde se presentaron la penúltima vez con la Orquesta Filarmónica, esta vez se vistió de puro rock and roll, y las huestes púrpuras acudieron masivamente, nadie quiso […]
