July 20, the hot summer day was a memorable day for Ian Gillan, Georgian fans and for Istanbul, of course. Why? Here’s a really great story how Georgian fans had a special meet&greet with Gillan in Turkey, before the show: THE IDEA I live in Tbilisi, Georgia. Unfortunately DP hasn’t visited our country, but we […]

Venue opened at 20:00, lights off at 21:00 by the lovely seaside of Bosphorus, quite warm evening, with a considerable high humidity, the show started with a different intro […]
Read more »Well, this is the 3rd time that I am in a DP show (all in Thessaloniki). But this was a special time because it was the first show for my kids, 11 and 13 yrs old. And their first time was a DP show!!! And they enjoyed it. And of cource they are right. It […]
Read more »Lakselv, Northern Norway The set list was the same as Copenhagen, but without “Wrong man”. Paice is brilliant. Keeps the whole thing together with Glover, but no drum solo this night. Morse was also good, but no surprises for the die hard fans, but a lot of the show was new for most of the […]

Lots of good experiences before the concert when meeting souls-mates in town on their way to the concerthall and at the entrance of the hall. Lights went out at aprr. 9.15 PM and after a piece of music, my favorite starter “Highway Star”! And then it […]
Read more »Set list didn’t had much surprises but as always a strong one. The intro – Is an unreleased track from Don Airey, at least that’s what I heard. Nice bombastic and imo better then the jazzy jump intro. Highway star – Ah, what can you say about that one except that it’s an excellent song. […]
Read more »KB-Hallen has been a part of the regular circuit for DP for quite a long time now and we have high expectations as they have always delivered when they hit this stage. As Roger Glover put it, it is a part of the band’s history. They certainly took up the challenge, especially the three Mark […]
Read more »Lots and lots of solos and improvs spread out through the setlist. New transitions, new starts, new middle section jams, new endings. The Contact Lost – guitar solo -> Sometimes I feel Like Screaming -> guitar solo -> The Well Dressed Guitar section was clever, amazing and beautiful. That one combined with 3 monumental songs […]
Read more »This tour’s set list is somewhat more brave than the previous years, although it reflects the bands 41 year career very well. The band sounded very tight as always and the sound and mixing was very god, at least were I was standing. The also had two rather large projector screens on the sides of […]
Read more »Once again Deep Purple in Copenhagen, and what a gig, just awesome in a full KB Hallen with approx. 35 degrees Celcius. It was hot like a sauna. The sound was good and all members were excellent, but I have to say, Steve Mores was outstanding, he was playing as if he came from another […]
