After reading the other review of Chicago, I sat back and said to myself – what show was this guy at because it certaintly was not the same Deep Purple show I saw.. First let me say something about the openers Supagroup. These guys put on a great show.. They played rock and roll the […]
Read more »Chicago: The boys were back in town Sunday night to play to a jammed packed House of Blues (unfortunately jammed because two nights were whittled to one). Prior to main event, the crowd had to suffer through the strains of New Orleans based Supagroup. While Supagroup rocked competently, they added nothing that wasn’t derivative of […]
Read more »Others have covered the set list, the weather, the vibe, etc., so let me agree with those comments. I’m a huge fan of both Deep Purple and the opening band, Steppenwolf and was very excited to get a chance to see them both again. John Kay/Steppenwolf played a tight, short set that had a little […]

The show was a very good one (although I had wished they would have played “Child In Time”)… but the DP attitude was missing… That attitude of course is Ritchie Blackmore… and to me that’s what […]
Read more »Just got back from the show at Ruth Eckerd Hall. Although I have been around long enough to remember when Hush came out, this was my first Deep Purple concert. Edgar Winter started the show and kicked the night off with an excellent set, including, ot course, Frankenstein, Free Ride, and Tobacco Road . Hard […]
Read more »Orlando went Space truckin’ Orlando: While I realize people are reading this website because of their interest in Deep Purple, I don’t think it would be fair to begin my review of last Friday’s show without some mention of Edgar Winter. The show started off slowly. EW doing his thing…. especially on Frankenstein, but when […]
Read more »We captured the rapture! Our heroes were finally going to make back to our home town. FLORIDA! YES! We arrived at the very quaint and posh venue, The Chastain Park Amphitheatre just in time to see Steppenwolf begin to play. We’ve seen them a couple of times lately and I must admit, they weren’t why […]
