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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Comments Off on Happy in Buenos Aires
Casi inesperada, la segunda llegada de la banda al sur del mundo en apenas cinco meses, nos lleno de alegria.

Comments Off on Noche Negra en Argentina
Actually, it wasn’t my idea to write a review of Deep Purple’s concert. It was my Dad’s. In his opinion it was a ‘progressive rock show’ and I want to add it was fabulous, because I’m not good at using words I don’t know the meaning. OK, we’re talking about the Deep Purple gig in […]

Since 1999 I’ve been going to D.P. concerts thinking “I must go because this is the last tour.” In Milano I was really really surprised by Purple. A few words about the setlist: the fact is not the songs and the music played, but how they play. I’ve enjoyed an incredible hard rock band: on […]
