My friend, Dave, and I attended the shows in Copenhagen, Linköping, Tallinn, and Riga, amid a Scandinavian adventure that included a stop in a remote struggling fishing village at the northeast tip of the European continent. All of the shows were excellent, and each had its own little variety or nuance. KB Hallen was kinda […]
Read more »I attended the gig in Copenhagen with a VIP-ticket. Very excited to see the backstage and meet DP. At 6 PM I met other VIP-fans and this was very fine to talk to other big fans of DP. We got a tour by Gordon from the DP-staff and he did a real good job showing […]
Read more »A great, fantastic show really from Deep Purple at the Steinkjer festival 120 km north of Trondheim. They started at 22.00 hrs sharply, and since the nights here in mid-Norway now are becoming darker again, the light show really came on during the concert. It was a clear and beautiful late summer evening, and 6.100 […]
Read more »I guess we get the best of both worlds on the current DP tour. The energy level is high and the setlist is interesting enough to enjoy even after 40 years(!). In Copenhagen we got the kind of show we expected – with dynamics, humor, improvisation and virtuosity. The setlist is working fine to build […]
Read more »When Purple began they started with Fireball. I was surprised over the setlist. They had changed a lot compared to earlier shows. There were some good surprises for me. One was Wring that neck. One of my favorite tracks and they played it like they did in the seventies. The other was The battle rages […]

The band was on fire, the jamming just flowed, every one of them seemed to enjoy immensely the atmosphere. The audience was very responsive, one of the best audiences I’ve […]
Read more »As Deep Purple quite obviously prefer stages around the globe to studios, the fact that the British hard rockers are on tour is not exactly headline news. The “new” album “Rapture of the Deep” dates back to 2005 and was presented on stage, among other places, in Wetzlar in 2006. During the current leg of […]
Read more »I just got back from Odense, from my second concert with DP in a week. The first one was on Wednesday in Copenhagen, and I have to say Odense was the best one – a better sound, Ian Gillan sounded much better, Steve Morse in outstanding topform – not that Copenhagen was bad, absolutely not. […]
Read more »At Deep Purple’s show in Ystad, Sweden last, guitarist John Norum from Europe (who supported Purple) got onstage to jam on “Smoke on the Water”. Steve Morse and John Norum preceded the song with a lengthy jam – with Ian Paice and Roger Glover looking on – before tearing into the Purple classic. The show’s […]
Read more »Eigentlich ist es ja nichts Besonderes, dass die britische Hardrockgruppe “Deep Purple” auf Tournee ist, denn auf den Bühnen rund um den Globus ist das Quintett offenbar lieber als in Tonstudios. Das “aktuelle” Album “Rapture of the Deep” datiert von 2005 und wurde im Februar 2006 auch in Wetzlar präsentiert. Bei dem aktuellen Tourabschnitt gibt […]
