Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
I don’t need their notes from the road…. Today I found out surrent tour setlist and it is just AWFULL – No Lazy, No When A Blind Man Cries, THE WHOLE SETLIST REMAINC THE SAME AS IN OTHER TOURS.
Pictures of home
Things i never said
Into the fire
Strange kind of woman
Rapture of the Deep
The Battle rages on
Demon’s eye
The well dressed guitar
Contact lost
Perfect strangers
Space truckin
Highway star
Smoke on the water
Hush
July 14th, 2008 at 06:11Black night
Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:14I have to agree George, that setlist isn’t very creative. Although I like the inclusion of The Battle Rages On and Demon’s Eye; how about Ted The Mechanic, Hey Cisco, Rat Bat Blue, or Super Trouper?
July 14th, 2008 at 15:50wowww !!!
Demon`s eye is on the bill again – that`s not too bad. Frankly speaking – more than I`ve expected (-:
What I really would like to see is a show with less number of songs but extended versions. On the last tour “When a Blind man cries” was a shame if you compare it to ealier live versions (for example Montreux 1996).
July 14th, 2008 at 15:52Just saw your comment, Seven-47:
July 14th, 2008 at 15:56Super trooper is a great idea, and the solo could be enlarged…..
NOW WE’RE TALKIN’!
July 14th, 2008 at 16:02just get them to come to Ireland.
July 14th, 2008 at 16:55we’ll settle for any set list.
I can relate davedp, I haven’t been able to see them since 2005!:(
July 14th, 2008 at 16:59Except for Ian Gillan, which I saw in 2006!:)
I have to tell you ONE THING! It is a honour and a pleasure
July 14th, 2008 at 18:58to listen and see DP live on stage !!! If you want to listen to music for the garbage can, go to Kiss or something other sh.. ! Who is Ritchie B. ?? Since I’ve heard Steve for the first time, I forgot that Ritchie thing. cheers
Josh!

July 15th, 2008 at 23:23I always enjoy Steve Morse’s Notes from the Road. He writes very well and tends to have insightful comments in addition to the anecdotes.
He needs to write a book.
July 16th, 2008 at 08:00This was just MY opinion. Hope, there is no mind-control on this site…
( now I’m on the run…)
July 16th, 2008 at 09:25How DARE you have an opinion!
Look at my watch. You are getting sleeeepy… 😉
July 16th, 2008 at 10:45Dont worry, opinions and musical taste count for nothing HERE. You can run, but you cant hide……….
Just wait till you hear about ‘humbuckers’ and ‘fretting’…………its a rollercoaster ride!!!!
Hold on tight…………
July 16th, 2008 at 10:46Josh;
I haven’t forgotten the “Ritchie thing”; but I have moved on, and really enjoy the “Steve thing”!
Welcome to the show!
July 16th, 2008 at 16:15Ochen priyatno here again Mr.heyder…
What worms??? Ya ne ponimayu!
Have there been to much of those insects wiggling and nibbling holes near you in your hot tub? 😀
And yes Josh, there is a severe mind censure by Lambton FBI-er Tracy 🙂
Pazhaluysta, take the liberty of listening to RB.
I respect it if you disapprove him,I regret it if you would forget him ,I suspect you will love him as well as SM!

The Lambton Wyrm
One Sunday morn young Lambton went a-fishing in the Wear;
And catched a fish upon his hook he thought looked very queer.
But what’n a kind of fish it was young Lambton couldn’t tell –
He wasn’t fash to carry it home, so he hoyed it in a well.
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, I’ll tell you all an awful story,
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, and I’ll tell you ’bout the worm.
Now Lambton felt inclined to gan, and fight in foreign wars,
He joined a troop of knights that cared for neither wounds nor scars,
And off he went to Palestine where queer thing him befell,
And very soon forgot about the queer worm in the well.
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, I’ll tell you all an awful story,
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, and I’ll tell you ’bout the worm.
But the worm got fat and growed and growed, and growed an awful size,
He’d great big teeth, a great big gob, and great big googly eyes.
And when at nights he crawled about to pick up bits o’ news,
If he felt dry upon the road, he milked a dozen cows.
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, I’ll tell you all an awful story,
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, and I’ll tell you ’bout the worm.
This fearful worm would often feed on calves and lambs and sheep,
And swallow little bairns alive when they laid down to sleep.
And when he’d eaten all he could and he had had his fill,
He crawled away and lapped his tail seven times round Pensher Hill.
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, I’ll tell you all an awful story,
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, and I’ll tell you ’bout the worm.
The news of this most awful worm and his queer gannins on,
Soon crossed the seas, got to the ears of brave and bold Sir John.
So home he came and catched the beast and cut him in three halves,
And that soon stopped his eating bairns and sheep and lambs and calves.
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, I’ll tell you all an awful story,
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, and I’ll tell you ’bout the worm.
So now you know how all the folks on both sides of the Wear
Lost lots of sheep and lots of sleep and lived in mortal fear.
So let’s have one to brave Sir John that kept the bairns from harm,
Saved cows and calves by making halves of the famous Lambton Worm.
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, I’ll tell you all an awful story,
Whisht lads, hold your gobs, and I’ll tell you ’bout the worm.
Now, lads, I’ll hold my gob, that’s all I know about the story
Of Sir John’s clever job with the awful Lambton Worm.
CHEERS !!! 😉

July 17th, 2008 at 17:12Cheers from another worm in the can 🙂
Sorry to hear about Steve’s and DP’s cancellation due to the storm in Spain. Outdoor venues do have a better sound than those indoor, but are more vulnerable to the whims of the weather. Hope the rest of the tour goes more smoothly. (Wish the tour would wind through the States!)
July 18th, 2008 at 16:40deep lavander
July 18th, 2008 at 22:23I too wish the tour would “wind through the States”, but not gonna happen! Anyway I saw them outdoors in 2002 and indoors (small venue) last summer and I thought there was no comparison the indoor show was the best of all (only 6) DP shows I ever saw.
I’m gonna have a few beers tonite and chill…enjoy the weekend everyone!
Annemie: Wow and Thanks from one worm to another……FBI? KGB? What the?
that’s very cool that you defined some of the words……I checked out the YOU TUBE clips of the song……”Blackmore’s Night” should cover that one…….maybe even Ritchie could sing it….
July 18th, 2008 at 23:08Wouldn’t that be a classic!!!
Stoffer,
July 19th, 2008 at 02:16I’ve only had the opportunity to see DP live 3 times; and only succeeded once. So maybe that’s why I’m prejudiced for an outdoor show. In the late 80’s (HOBL Tour), they cancelled days before the show because Ritchie broke his finger while on tour. I got to see them in 2001 outdoors…Excellent show! Then in 2004 they cancelled again only days before the show..reason unknown. Both cancelled shows were for indoor venues. Seems like a jinx between DP and me. Anyway, I’m happy for my DVD collection….guess that’s what I’ll have to rely on.
deep lavander….really bad luck!!
July 19th, 2008 at 13:58I hope you get to see them indoors sometime before they retire, but really in or outside I’ll go see them anytime. I had tickets to see Tommy Bolin but that show was cancelled for obvious tragic reasons.
Cheers
HEY STOFFER AND LAVENDER, BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. ’87 CANCELLATION, HAD TICKETS TO 2 SHOWS,[ATLANTA AND NASHVILLE]. ALSO HAD THE BOLIN TICKETS IN DEC. ’76 AND BOLIN DIED IN MIAMI THE NIGHT BEFORE. ALSO GOT SCREWED IN ATLANTA IN ATLANTA IN ’75 WHEN BOLIN WAS SO MESSED UP THEY DID NOT GO ON STAGE UNTIL AFTER 11:00 AND MY GIRLFRIEND WAS 16 SO WE HAD TO LEAVE AFTER 30 MINUTES. [WASN’T MUCH TO HEAR ANYWAY SINCE COVERDALE BASICALLY HAD TO DRAG TOMMY ON STAGE AND PROP HIM UP]DONT WORRY STOFFER, THEY AREN’T GOING AWAY SOON. HOP ON A PLANE IF YOU HAVE TO.I’VE BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT AS WELL. EVEN SAW RITCHIE IN CHARLOTTE IN OCTOBER [APOLOGIES TO PRIEST]. GOOD LUCK. [BY THE WAY THE RITCHIE SHOW WAS INCREDIBLE TIGHTS AND ALL]
July 26th, 2008 at 21:50I had tickets to the ‘old folks’ summer fete, in the next village…………
But on the morning of the extravaganza a freak hurricane destroyed the tombola and the ‘name the teddy bear’ stall……….it ruined the day……….
Still, theirs always next time………..
July 28th, 2008 at 09:41OF COURSE RASCAL, ALL YE TRAVELING MINSTRELS NEED DO IS FETCH YE FLAGON OF WINE ON YE WAY TO THE FAIRE AND COMMENCE TO THE LAND OF OZZY AND HALEN AND TRY NOT TO “FRET” ABOUT WETTING YOUR “HUMBUCKER” WITH TEDDY BEAR PISS. “SUSTAIN” YE WITH “VIBRATO” AND “DISTORTION” MY SON…..AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WASH YOUR HANDS.
July 29th, 2008 at 05:07The words of a true believer………..Amen
