From Berlin: Many thanks!

As usual I wasn’t disappointed. The show was cool, although I was standing in a poor place where too many basses were heard. [What? Roger’s and whose else’s? /Rasmus] I’ll choose a sitting place next time:). It was so nice to hear “Contact lost” and “Perfect strangers” again. But the biggest surprise was “Wring that […]

The Battle Raged On in Karlsruhe

The Europahalle was very well filled. Ian Gillan’s voice was in a very good shape, to my opinion better than in Stuttgart the week before. Especially Steve was in an excellent playing mood. Butt he whole concert seemed to be a bit in a hurry, there were hardly comments or “stories” from IG between the […]

Not getting old!

One week and a couple of shows after Frankfurt I was excited to watch the show in Karlsruhe yesterday… absolutely brillant! I still don´t know what it was in Frankfurt, maybe I had the wrong idea, but yesterday no doubts: amazing show and concert from the very beginning. All in all 10 minutes shorter than […]

Getting old?

This was my DP Concert #25 or so… Festhalle was crowded, upper balcony not sold, maybe 8.000 to 9.000 people there. In brief, I was a little sad about the evening. At first: a great opener Gotthard! Then at 9:30 pm Deep Purple: a good setlist but no surprises, not even Mary Long that night. […]

Raptured in Stuttgart

The Schleyerhalle was well filled, newspapers reported 10,000 visitors. The organisation around it was ok, although a handball game took place in the add-on Porsche arena. Entrance was half an hour earlier than announced, which was not wrong due to the already waiting masses. Gotthard was the perfect opener, totally different to Andrew Paul Woodworth […]

Stuttgart: Very close to the definite setlist

I enjoyed a very pleasant Saturday! First I attended Steve’s guitar clinic at the club Samba and than I saw my favourite band in full action! In the afternoon I took my car and headed for the small town Winnenden near Stuttgart to attend my first guitar clinic. Being a guitarist myself, this was about […]

Stuttgart – simply wow

Wow … what a great concert it was. Congratulations to the guys. This was the way the fans want to experience Deep Purple Stuff. They were in a really great shape, everyone of them. Especially the enormously powerful “The Battle Rages On”, “Sometimes I Fell Like Screaming”, “Knocking At Your Back Door” and “Highway Star” […]

Kassel: Superb but poorly visited

My wife and I drove 625 kms from Holland to Kassel in Germany to see DP. We have seen the band several times in Holland and Belgium to. It again was worth “the trouble”!! We could see the joy you have on stage, and we enjoy it with you. The concert wasn’t sould out, unbelievable. […]

Lärmbrei im Kiel

Zuerst: Tolle Leistung der Band. Leider nicht eine Ballade. Dafür reichlich Klassiker. Schade: Die Tontechniker waren nicht in der Lage, die schlechte Akkustik der Halle auszugleichen. So kam beim Publikum eigentlich nur ein Lärmbrei an. Zeitweise waren die Verzerrungen und Überlagerungen so stark, dass man glaubte, Steve hätte das Gitarrespielen verlernt. Liebe Band: deshalb war […]
