Downhill in Perth

I took my family to the May 3rd concert in Perth. Now I sort of wish I hadn’t. Status Quo were really good and kept the crowd going, DP started well with a song from Machine Head and it went downhill for the next four-five songs, all newer stuff (Ted the fitter, Bloke in prison, […]

I took my 18 year old daughter to see my favorite band of all times last night, and I was totally blown away! They keep getting better and better. This was the third time that I saw them live but what a concert! They are really true legends. Thank you for a fantastic evening of […]

Purple hit in Sydney

I just went to the Sydney Deep Purple double trouble show with Status Quo and support act Swanne. It was unreal! I was front row against the stage barricade. I caught a pick off Roger Glover and a pick off Steve Morse. I got both signed after the show. I was filming Steve Morse in […]

Sydney devotion

Just want to let you know that I went to the Deep Purple/Status Quo concert last night (10th May) and I have to say that the whole experience was totally awesome. When Roger Glover personally bent over, looked at me and threw me his pick, I could of died of heart palpitations right then and […]

Thanks to Deep Purple for a great show at the Hordern Pavilion on the 9th May in Sydney. The Hordern has the worst acoustics in Sydney. It also has 1970’s style lighting and seating. But, in spite of the venue, Deep Purple rocked big time. I went to the gig as I’m a big fan […]

Average in Adelaide

Purple were supported by Status Quo and Cosmic Storm. The set list was slightly abbreviated due to time restraints and unfotunately we didn’t get to hear Living Wreck, a song I’ve waited a long time to hear live (dang!) A friend and I commented that Purple would have to be on their toes tonight as […]

No screaming in Brisbane

I consider myself lucky to see Purple again and enjoyed listening to a gig of very professional musicians. I enjoyed the venue again in which they played (Brisbane Convention centre) and I thought the sound was very clear and precise. All the members of the band were in top form and like always seemed to […]
