October 6th, 2017 at 10:00Wow what a surprise. I will give it a go.
October 6th, 2017 at 10:13What a great news. So, there will be a new live recording coming out later on. Hope they will do special show by selecting a lot of rarely heard songs! Demon’s Eye, Fools, Never Before, Rat Bat Blue, Our Lady, Loosen my Strings, Doing it Tonight, just to suggest a few.
October 6th, 2017 at 12:54wish i could be there ….
October 6th, 2017 at 18:15These Radio 2 shows are usually filmed and often streamed on the BBC / Radio 2 web site.
October 6th, 2017 at 20:51Hope they stick (in the main, if not totally) to Morse era songs.
October 7th, 2017 at 10:24Ian Gillan did a phone-in interview on Simon Mayo’s Drivetime on Radio 2 on Thursday when the 16th November In Concert show was announced. Fast-forward to around 16 and a half minutes in. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0964sx3

October 7th, 2017 at 21:23only uk residents? is this the real brexit? no good idea!
October 8th, 2017 at 04:58Probably gonna be the best gig of the tour, a tiny venue (400 approx) and apt as they used to appear on BBC radio often, back when they started. A nice nod towards the past and hinting i guess at the full circle they have arrived at…
October 8th, 2017 at 11:58Very Good job, all DP albums in one story
October 8th, 2017 at 17:12Could there be some very special guests ? 🤔
October 9th, 2017 at 23:42What will be the setlist? Machinehead?
October 11th, 2017 at 13:38Well I didn’t get a ticket – but will of course listen to the show whenit is broadcast.
October 19th, 2017 at 09:27Who did manage to get a place?
Has anyone had news of any tickets for this yet ? I know it’s random but you only get to know if you have been successful ?
October 23rd, 2017 at 19:04I have two tickets and I am currently planning to take my daughter , I don’t know London at all so I will need to do some serious planning.
October 24th, 2017 at 15:00The End of the “Long goodbye” -tour ???
