Thin Lizzy… Nuff said… Styx, excellent band but misunderstood by most. I thought Purple looked a bit tired at first, but they soon found the groove. Gillan was usually entertaining, but I was dissapointed by the lack of Rapture material. It seemed like a fan’s choice of set. The Battle Rages On was good and […]
Read more »A great time was had at Brighton on Sunday night. All three bands were superb with the best being of course Deep Purple! They and the sound were so good that it (almost) didn’t matter that they played for only 90 minutes. I say almost because although having three name bands on the bill made […]
Read more »This was a show I was particularly looking forward to, not just because it was Purple, but because it was Thin Lizzy as well. It was my 7th Purple gig, the last one being in Bristol in 2002 – and that particular show has been amazing. Could they better it? THIN LIZZY – Brilliant. Played […]
Read more »Thin Lizzy were good but couldn’t seem to get the crowd going. Are they the tribute band some have suggested? With Sykes and Gorham having been in Lizzy and written many of the songs, I don’t think so. Styx grew on me. Aurally they were excellent, a real surprise. Visually they out-Darknessed the Darkness with […]
Read more »First time seeing Deep Purple for me and I am not their biggest fan – but I have been to some decent concerts so I thought I’d add my review in. Got there for around 6.50. I think it was around this time that Thin Lizzy were on, but they were already playing when I […]
Read more »This was my first visit to the BIC and my first ‘name’ concert in a few years. So I wasn’t sure what I was in for! But the venue was great – just the right size and good facilities. First up ‘Thin Lizzy’ – hmmmm… I saw the Robertson/Gorham line ups in days of yore […]
Read more »Arrived a little late but caught the end of Thin Lizzy’s set. Don’t know what to say really, all talented musicians and everyone seemed to enjoy them but they really are a covers band aren’t they, albeit a very good one. Tommy Aldridge is always good value for money and my 19 yr old son […]
Read more »We arrived at 7.30 anticipating a look at Thin Lizzy who we remembered as a great warm up on the USA tour in New York at the Beacon in 2004, but were really disappointed to find they had been and gone! The Cardiff International Arena is not our favourite venue, I must say, with literally […]
Read more »Just a quick one to say I really enjoyed the Deep Purple gig at the Arena in Newcastle. A few moments of uncertainty at times but overall I thoroughly enjoyed the gig and the band looked to be enjoying it – smiling at each other at any such moments of hesitation. I think the chemistry […]
Read more »I’ve been a big fan of Purple since 1970 and have seen them countless times, but the show in Manchester left me and my bro very disappointed. We were at the front at Roger Glover’s side and I must say his guitar was cranked up so high it swamped everything else. All we could hear […]
