Online portal Entertainment Africa has a rather interesting review of the show in Johannesburg written from a prospective of a mainstream rock fan apparently of a younger generation. Since the site is barely usable (for starters, the font on my screen is so small that it is unreadable and I can’t change it as the […]

Read more »Back in January when the Singapore show was announced I never would have imagined in my wildest dreams that Deep Purple would also stop here in Bangkok. This place is simply not on the major concert circuit. Most acts hit Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo during their Asian tours, but Bangkok is usually completely off […]
Read more »I have been an ardent fan of Deep Purple since the spring of 1973 when a friend lent me a 45 rpm record of Smoke on the Water (studio version on one side, live edited version from Made in Japan on the other). From that point onward I was completely hooked on all things Purple […]
Read more »On May 12th purple played in Singapore. Venue was the National Indoor stadium. An airconditioned venue. A good decision as the humidity was really heavy outside.

Read more »It’s always nice to see the guys somewhere “exotic”. I was a little shocked at the barn-like proportions of the venue, the Nangang Exhibition Centre, but as you can see from the photos, there was none of the sterility you might get in such a barn in Europe. Great sound, interesting setlist and good onstage […]
Read more »First up, Electric Mary put on a good show. They were well suited to open for Deep Purple. They rocked hard and showed off some good chops. Easy to get into and enjoy. After a short break the familiar drum opening to Highway Star started and a rousing rendition it was. They were off and […]
