San Francisco: With all the talk about song lists, and, what should be on it or off it, August 15th, 2007 brought this lad back to what really matters – Deep Purple on stage lovin’ life and the music they play. Ya, know what, I even wrote in a blog that I’d only go to […]

The Ventura Theatre is old and grand, much like its headliner. A very steamy hot night greeted the band as they ripped into the opening four-song burst and Ian was in […]
Read more »The opener Blue Oyster Cult was abysmal. This was the worst band I have ever seen in 40 years of gigging. Why does a band with no fire and the talent level of a bar band have a name that has people gaga? How can Purple accept cheers from a lame and real dumb crowd […]

Read more »Just got back from seeing Purple for the second night in a row, this time at the Ventura Theater, 100 or so miles up the West Coast from their gig the previous night. What an unbelievably different show! Having never done this before, I was interested to see what, if any differences there were in […]
