Excellent show tonight in Luxembourg. Interestingly, almost 10 years to the day from when they played here last, on 20 May 2007 [still touring the amazing Rapture of the Deep album]. Tonight the band played an amazing set. The songs from In-Finite sounded great. Bedlam is a strong opener, and The Surprising and Birds of Prey were absolutely astounding. And, as many fans will know from reading previous set lists, they’ve happily kept Uncommon Man and Hell to Pay in the set as well. The mix of classics was fun and with some fantastic jamming, but I was mostly glad about the newer songs they played. The band totally rocked.
May 27th, 2017 at 23:40I’ve been a serious, steady fan since Perfect Strangers [I was 14 years old then], but have unfortunately seen them only six times: Prague in December 2000 [Group and Orchestra tour] and November 2003 [Bananas]; Brno, Czech Republic in Feb. 2006 [Rapture of the Deep] and Slavkov in August 2013 [Now What?!], and here in Lux in May 2007 [Rapture] and tonight [In-Finite], and each one seemed to me like the best DP show I’d ever seen. It was like that again tonight. An amazing rock concert.
