From grandeur to majesty
Classic Rock has a positively glowing review of the October 17 gig at the Roundhouse in London:
It starts with the swelling grandeur of classic intro Mars, The Bringer Of War, and ends with the sweltering majesty of Black Night. This is Deep Purple in 2013, showing that they transcend age, era and trend. They balance five songs from excellent new album Now What?! with one or two other moments from more recent releases and the welter of classics such as Space Truckin’ and Lazy. And the 100-minute set proves just how comfortable the five men onstage are in performing with one another.

Perhaps it would be a good time to remind our readers that we have our own review submission form that haven’t seen much action lately despite the new tour and revamped setlist.
Thanks to Andrey Gusenkov for the heads up and to Andy Worthington for the photo.

Who would’ve thought, back in ’68/ ’69, that we would be fortunate enough to experience Purple, live, in 2013??? What a band!!! I love every incarnation of the band since they all had, and still have, something special to offer. Their latest offering, Now What?!, is by far their best record in a very long time. It’s up there with the “Machine Heads”, and that….well, RESPECT!!!

October 20th, 2013 at 10:07Indeed it was the 16th
October 20th, 2013 at 20:48I’d find it hard to believe the 17th could have been any better than the 16th. They were on top of their game
I heard the Bootleg of this gig. What happened to Don’s Key’bd during UnCommon Man. First it was out of tune then it cut out completely
