Talk about hard touring band… We’ve just received tour dates for the October/November Deep Purple tour of Germany. These are preliminary dates, they come from the site of promoter Klaus Bönisch, and at this point are very unconfirmed and subject to change.

We were so glad to see Deep Purple live again. We wish they played more ROTD songs, but the gig was awesome as usual. Ian looked so nice in his white shirt and blue jeans. We wonder why he doesn’t wear this sort of trousers more often. They suit him so well. One weak point […]

After I have seen a lot of DP shows over the last 21 years, DP visited a small town very close to my hometown – I could go there by bike! Only a few words on Alice Cooper – his music and live act is not my cup of tea – but I appreciated the […]

Actually, it wasn’t my idea to write a review of Deep Purple’s concert. It was my Dad’s. In his opinion it was a ‘progressive rock show’ and I want to add it was fabulous, because I’m not good at using words I don’t know the meaning. OK, we’re talking about the Deep Purple gig in […]
