London, Ontario: It’s been a long wait since first listening to Deep Purple on the Machine Head album but it was worth it hearing them live for the first time. At an outdoor concert venue on the Thames River surrounded by huge trees, Deep Purple exploded on to the stage playing Pictures of Home. It […]

Boston: Once again I had the pleasure of seeing Deep Purple on tour. I’ve lost count of how many shows I’ve been to but each one has been amazing. This time I brought my 17 year old daughter and four of her friends along. Setlist is the same as previous reviews so I’ll skip that. […]

Quebec: Having seen DP over 50 times from MK II onwards I like most of us reading this, never ever regret seeing one of the greatest bands of all time in concert whenever the opportunity presents itself. A 3 hour drive is not a bother when a DP concert is at hand! It has been […]

The triple bill of Edgar Winter/ BOC/ DP hit Connecticut last night and I ended up feeling rather lucky to have been there. Admittedly, we turned Edgar Winter’s show into a “view the big screens from the lobby while having beers with pals” experience. BOC were very good – tight and musical. Buck Dharma can […]

Wallingford, CT: I have been a Deep Purple fan since the early 70s. They are the best ever in my opinion. Edgar Winter was the opening act. Wow! He was great. His musical talent was tremendous, his energy and voice quality was excellent, and his band members; drummer, guitar and bass players were young and […]

Last night, for the sixth time, I saw Deep Purple in concert. They played the Bank Of America Pavilion in South Boston, with Blue Oyster Cult opening. Accompanying me on this journey to reclaim lost youth was Fred Goodman, my softball teammate (and good friend) for 20 years. I met Fred at 6:00, giving us […]

Boston: Another special Deep Purple night went down under a massive tent overlooking Boston Harbor. The venue is beautiful and the band is a frictionless force that generates smiles and sends out massive amounts of great music and good feelings. My wife and I had the previous set list in hand, and therefore had a […]

They are Deep Purple and they know how to rock! and they do it loudly! Wow, what a show! The set list is the same but all were played with a fiery and smokey enthusiasm that many of today’s newer bands can barely muster. Skilled, professional and very, very loud (I think the amps went […]

It was a great concert we saw tonight in a renovated amphitheatre that was hosting its first concert ever. And I think it’s gonna take quit a while before the place sees such an electrical rocking performance by a band. Each member of the band get in touch with the people in the crowd. You […]
