Great show at the Bank of America Pavilion on the Harbor on Tuesday night. The weather was perfect and the band was as well. Not a bad crowd for a Tuesday, and as usual around here, it takes two songs in and the crowd is warmed up. Sitting in the 7th row dead center, I […]

Boston: Once again I had the pleasure of seeing Deep Purple on tour. I’ve lost count of how many shows I’ve been to but each one has been amazing. This time I brought my 17 year old daughter and four of her friends along. Setlist is the same as previous reviews so I’ll skip that. […]

The triple bill of Edgar Winter/ BOC/ DP hit Connecticut last night and I ended up feeling rather lucky to have been there. Admittedly, we turned Edgar Winter’s show into a “view the big screens from the lobby while having beers with pals” experience. BOC were very good – tight and musical. Buck Dharma can […]

Wallingford, CT: I have been a Deep Purple fan since the early 70s. They are the best ever in my opinion. Edgar Winter was the opening act. Wow! He was great. His musical talent was tremendous, his energy and voice quality was excellent, and his band members; drummer, guitar and bass players were young and […]

Last night, for the sixth time, I saw Deep Purple in concert. They played the Bank Of America Pavilion in South Boston, with Blue Oyster Cult opening. Accompanying me on this journey to reclaim lost youth was Fred Goodman, my softball teammate (and good friend) for 20 years. I met Fred at 6:00, giving us […]

Boston: Another special Deep Purple night went down under a massive tent overlooking Boston Harbor. The venue is beautiful and the band is a frictionless force that generates smiles and sends out massive amounts of great music and good feelings. My wife and I had the previous set list in hand, and therefore had a […]

We saw them in Atlanta on the 12th (see review), and then made the trip to St. Louis and saw an entirely different show. Not necessarily the set list, but performance. First let me say that the Pageant Theatre is by far, the best venue I have been to for the pure enjoyment of a […]

I’ve seen Deep Purple each time they have visited the Detroit area in the last 8 years, and I am always amazed at how great they really are! Each time I see the band, it’s obvious that they love playing…. and love playing with each other! The breath of fresh air that Steve brought with […]

St. Louis: Packed venue, with an enthusiastic crowd who sang every word to nearly every song and started one of those spine-tingling exchanges of energy with the band. Synergy at its finest. It was electric, on every conceivable level. Hard core fans may be tired of the classics, but the audience in St. Louis didn’t […]
