On October 12 in Dnepropetrovsk they were greeted at the local airport by two girls in traditional costumes, welcoming the band with an ornate loaf of bread and a capella folk songs. This turned into an unexpected jam when Steve Morse pulled out his guitar to […]

Introduced by Yes’ Rick Wakeman, Deep Purple got under way with Pictures of Home and a pumping start. – That’s Johnny Lord!, exclaimed Ian Gillan after Hush with an extended solo from Jon Lord – and […]
Read more »I wanted to share with you an incredible experience from last week’s DP gig in Caesarea Israel. Excluding the incredible venue – a real Roman Amphitheatre aged 2000 years – in front of the Mediterranean and with splendid acoustics, I treated myself to a 1st row ticket, just in front of the mike, perfect middle […]
