Gillan dazzled in Erfurt

I was surprised by this very emotional gig last night in Erfurt. The absolutely great support act Gotthard made the Messehalle turn into a ring of fire. Perfect show and great sound! After about an hour of wonderful Rock’n’Roll Deep Purple entered the stage. And while several people in the crowd where transported to the […]

No hang-over in Hannover

Six months ago, when I bougth tickets I wasn´t sure whether the setlist would be worth the euros or not. With no new album around it would be either the same old ROTD setlist as in Kiel three years ago, or just another best of – revue, or so I thought. I should not have […]

Rock’n’Roll monk

Last Sunday, August 3, Deep Purple played a show at one of most unusual rock’n’roll venues — a monastery in Bavaria, Germany. Kloster Benediktbeuern dates back to the 10th century and still serves as home to about 45 monks of the Salesian order. What’s even more unusual is that the Archabbot Notker Wolf joined them […]

Siegen feiert 40 Jahre Purple

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 […]

Ravensburg: Unforgettable evening!

Having seen DP one week ago in Cologne, the set list was nearly the same in Ravensburg last Saturday. The encore was extended by a breathtaking version of Speed King including some songs from the sixties, a stunning guitar-keyboard duel and s short bass solo from Roger. Stuff for a live record! Despite the fact […]
