Denver: After the local band was finished, it was nice to see a big stage with no monitors. This is especially appealing to someone who was right up front like I was. It was quite intense since I realized afterward that I enjoyed every song. The only problem was that there was such a low […]
Read more »This show was announced with less than weeks noticed and was booked at a venue that maxed out around 425. The unofficial word from an employee the following day was the crowd reached over half capacity. The show didn’t get much press outside of the Aspen area. But Aspen has rockers! I talked with several […]
Read more »San Francisco: With all the talk about song lists, and, what should be on it or off it, August 15th, 2007 brought this lad back to what really matters – Deep Purple on stage lovin’ life and the music they play. Ya, know what, I even wrote in a blog that I’d only go to […]

I don’t want to be long winded so I’ll simply relate a few random surprises from the show. […]
Read more »All in all, a pretty good show. The sound didn’t really grab me right off the bat. First four songs were kept a little brief as they really did play a long set. I had resigned myself to the new material being scarce, and yet to my surprise we got Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye. Lazy and […]
Read more »Ventura: This was a show that had originally been scheduled at the Hudson Theatre in San Bernardino, which is 100 miles east of Ventura. The Ventura Theatre is old and grand, much like its headliner. A very steamy hot night greeted the band as they ripped into the opening four-song burst and Ian was in […]
Read more »The opener Blue Oyster Cult was abysmal. This was the worst band I have ever seen in 40 years of gigging. Why does a band with no fire and the talent level of a bar band have a name that has people gaga? How can Purple accept cheers from a lame and real dumb crowd […]
