Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Simon McBride has cemented his place in DP. He’s a fantastic player and the magic replacement for Steve Morse. The band has new life.
September 18th, 2024 at 00:56Thanks for the footage & yes it is rather good quality. Bleeding Obvious indeed. I have not listened to any songs from the new album for weeks, a deliberate sabbatical. Good to return with fresh ears & to listen to the songs I like played live, they still have it. Cheers.
September 18th, 2024 at 05:36I forgot to mention Don Airey’s solo, good old school melodies & technique there. Are there any of those keyboard warriors left? Most probably not as Grumpy Rick has hand issues these days & his son Adam augments on many of the songs live in concert. Hoping that Rick can still dazzle a little with a solo section all to himself. Cheers.
September 18th, 2024 at 06:12I find it odd that someone would spend the whole concert watching the small screen on their phone!
September 18th, 2024 at 08:29They dropped ‘Show me’ for when ‘a blind man 😭’
September 18th, 2024 at 08:52This song sends more shivers down my spine than ever before.
Could this be the greatest DP song ever written.
Who cares about greatness anyway we are all equally one.
Thank you for the music DP
Peace ✌️
Thanks for the vid! enthusiastic crowd to say the least 🙂
September 18th, 2024 at 09:57I attended the concert in Sao Paulo. Very good, perfect sound and Ian Gillan in fine form. 1hour 45 playing time.
September 18th, 2024 at 10:25Perfect
Thanks very much for the possibility to see and listen to the concert online 😊💜
September 18th, 2024 at 14:24“Simon McBride has cemented his place in DP. He’s a fantastic player and the magic replacement for Steve Morse. The band has new life.”
How right Mark is. “Mediocre player” my ass.
September 18th, 2024 at 15:43This is to Steve. I you ever get to read this. I watched the Brazil gig. The solo before uncommon man.: sure that is a Dublin pub hero’s take on that. And that is disappointing, but also it is the genes of r and r. But the important thing is that you are being played. You are being played.
September 18th, 2024 at 19:04While I will always appreciate Steve’s legacy in the band, if I said nobody can play the solo in HLM better, I stand corrected. It’s also great to see Simon staying with the Dirty Fingers in his solos, including embellishments!
September 18th, 2024 at 20:34This person stood there with their arm raised for 105 minutes. That’s some dedicated bootleggin’ lol
September 19th, 2024 at 01:10It’s great to see “A Bit On The Side” fit seamlessly into the opening set. The standard doesn’t drop when going up against the other 3 Mk 2 songs.
September 19th, 2024 at 01:17Cheers

What’s with worldwide ban of Highway Star on recent YT uploads? Anyone knows?
September 19th, 2024 at 01:35In a whimsical mood, I just listened to Whoosh! again. The album is only from 2020, yet it seems such a long time ago! Things have happened indeed.
First things first: It still is a mighty fine album. Mature, intricate, orchestral, original in style, Steve really could sculpt aural landscapes, no two ways about it. But man it is a VERY SOMBER, even melancholic album and it really doesn’t rock much, it is essentially a progish melodic rock (or melodic prog?) album – and a good one at that.
Steve’s sustain-drenched and processed tone is in a class of its own and his melodies are exquisite, his rhythm guitar original. What is missing, however, are riffs that go for your jugular or gut and Simon’s pushy & shoving rhythm playing. That has upped the hard rock ante in DP quite a bit.
=1 is more immediate and catchy than Whoosh!, but the latter has dignity and something special. Steve’s last original songs studio album with Purple was an excellent one, nothing to regret there.
September 19th, 2024 at 02:42what an amazing concert! And Gillan is amazing! He sings so amazingly!! Great performance!
September 19th, 2024 at 06:42@9
September 19th, 2024 at 08:13😂😂
Exactly 👍🏼
c’est facile de reprendre le nom du groupe et de jouer les anciennes chansons!!
September 19th, 2024 at 09:44Four songs from the new album and over an hour and 45 minutes of a quality concert at their age.They are a miracle!
September 19th, 2024 at 12:42“=1” excellent album for me, possibly except for “I’m Saying Nothin” and “No Money to Burn” (not bad songs) all songs could be on the concert setlist.
Since Bob Ezrin’s in control I thought Whoosh was the best of the lot. Until now. I agree 100% that =1 is a whole different beast and brings back some elements that were (at least here) sadly missed. The Ezrin-albums with Steve showed a whole new band in my book, a good one but not one I’d love. In fact I did not go back to them too often. Dare I say I prefered Purpendicular, Bananas and even Rapture of the Deep in places. Apaprt of course from the classics. Now it feels like Purple are back again at what they do best. They deliver the goods. No disrespect at all but I always felt SM wasn’t the right fit. Not because I am a Blackmoron but because to these ears he lacked a certain looseness (as in the Stones), aggression and overall Rock’n’Roll feel. No mistakes sure – but no surprises as well, no sense of danger, all very polished. I did like the Satriani shows more although the man had no time to really connect to the band. Bottom line: I am very happy about the way things are going.
September 19th, 2024 at 12:59“Blackmoron”
Brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣
“No disrespect at all but I always felt SM wasn’t the right fit. Not because I am a Blackmoron but because to these ears he lacked a certain looseness (as in the Stones), aggression and overall Rock’n’Roll feel. No mistakes sure – but no surprises as well, no sense of danger, all very polished …”
I totally geddit. To Steve’s defense: He never claimed to have a “danger” element in him, his musical career resembles that of an athlete training for the Olympics. Conscientious, hardworking, committed, intent on extending his craft, striving for absolute reliability at the highest artistic level. Purple got what they paid for.
September 19th, 2024 at 16:18@15 Uwe
September 19th, 2024 at 19:24Well said.
I like what you wrote.
I find that the last 3 with Morse, even if good, are sad, a resigned and melancholic mood, too reflective music.
With the last work they have rediscovered brilliance, immediacy and vivacity.

@22
Exactly AndreA! Way too melancholy! Not every song, but the overall impact.
Love the bouncy rock’n’roll, almost teenage-boyish love for life in =1
September 19th, 2024 at 20:34K
@ 23 – I like the ‘bouncy’ rock ‘n roll comment Karin, but be careful as Uwe will pick up on that & then we (drummers) will never hear the end if it. And poor ole Cozy & Bonzo are going to get it big time. Cheers.
September 19th, 2024 at 21:33A Blackmoron, where can I sign up. Oh I have already done that, back in 1973 without knowing it. Can I be the CEO, gladly will take that on & believe me, there will be NO prisoners taken. Oh Ritchie Ritchie, where art thou Ritchie. Cheers.
September 19th, 2024 at 23:37@ 23
September 20th, 2024 at 05:30Ciao Karin
Oh, yes!
=1 made me younger as well as the band 😅👍
@24
September 20th, 2024 at 07:03Hmmm MacGregor, maybe I need to be a bit more nuanced 😄
I do love their albums, all of them, and especially the more happy tunes!
F.i Girls Like That from Rapture of the Deep, so full of life and love for life and downright happiness 🤩
But Nothing At All from Whoohs is very melancholic 😞
Of course I don’t know the songwriters sentiment, but I know what it does to me: 🥺
Sometimes we need the more thoughtful songs, other times: we just need pure joy 🤩
For me the lust for life songs are like wonderful coffee, with a little splash of milk 😋
The others are more like… well, no coffee at all 😄
Ok I stop now!

@26
September 20th, 2024 at 07:05Very nice AndreA 😃 not a bad impact at all😅
It is pretty hard to explain…that danger element … but I like my rock’n’roll a bit sloppy…thinking about it lässig is a nice german word …that is what it’s all about, isn’t it. The Stones, the Faces, Free, Skynyrd, early Whitesnake, Chapman, they all had it … whereas Rush didn’t. 🙂 DP had it with Blackmore and Bolin (those live recordings … I know they’re not too popular but I like them) but never with SM. Good as he may be … to me he was never rock’n’roll. It was academic, brillant but it always sounded like a musterschüler who never had a glass too much in his life.
September 20th, 2024 at 08:25What I always loved about Ritchie was the way he’d play rhythm just now and then … never predictable, come up with breathtaking licks, play a tune, interupt it, start again, strangle a melody others would have killed for, creating some noises never heard before, get taken away, crash down, play Greensleeves and let the feedback get over … if you get my drift.
Oh Max, “Musterschüler” (teacher’s pet) just about sums Steve up! 😂 “Klassensprecher” (class spokesman or representative) wouldn’t be amiss either. But as I’ve said, they knew what they were getting at the time and maybe they needed it too – after the years with inspirational, but also sometimes very destructive and suffocating Ritchie, Steve was soothing and nurturing for Purple.
I loved Bolin’s devil-may-care sloppiness too, good sloppy playing is an art form in itself. Accuracy is overrated. This coming from two Germans, make a note of it.
Turning to Herr MacGregor in dire need of his daily Punch & Judy punishment: It escapes me, dearest island dweller, what is supposed to be “bouncy” about – of all people – Bonham’s and Powell’s drumming style. One plodded behind the beat, the other one was leaden and merciless rushing the beat. Nothing bounced. Ever. Paicy was/is bouncy! Just listen to You Fool No One and then imagine it being drummed by Bonzo or Cozy. Or perhaps better not.
September 20th, 2024 at 13:41WOW!!! I thoroughly enjoyed that, as, quite clearly, did the audience.
Seriously, what the hell are they, and particularly Big Ian, on? And where can get some? He looks and sounds 20 years younger than he did 4 years ago.
September 20th, 2024 at 15:53@ 27 – A little misunderstanding Karin. I knew what you meant regarding up beat (bouncy) tunes etc. I wasn’t querying that or anything else, the Uwe drumming comment is a jesting sort of thing between us regarding his take on a few of our favourite, well some of us, favourite drummers. If you mention bouncy, Uwe might take that on as a cue for Ian Paice’s drumming & he did following my joke of sorts. Bonzo & Cozy not being the drumming style that Uwe likes (too stiff, hard hitting etc, Uwe’s words not mine) & his penchant for Ian Paice & his swing & more delicate tendencies (which is good & I have never disagreed with). All fine drummers & a big influence on me especially Paice & Bonham (single bass drum players). And sure enough as you can see, Uwe did respond @ 30. The moderators here & others are probably tired of it all, drummer talk etc & I wouldn’t blame them at all. It has gone on for a while now. Regarding Nothing At All & I really like that song, one of the best on Whoosh for me. A good feel that song has, the lyrics are fine for me also. We all have our favourites. Cheers.
September 21st, 2024 at 07:34@ 29 – agree regarding the danger element in certain artists live performances. I have recently been watching Beat, the Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Tony Levin & Danny Carey band playing the early 80’s King Crimson music. Very good indeed as expected. Interesting to hear Vai’s take on the Robert Fripp guitar parts. Rhythm & solo’s are a lot different in places & looser & why not, he has to put his spin on it. I like it, a lot. Also Danny Carey on the drums playing Bill Bruford’s percussion bits & pieces. A powerful drummer yet he has the right feel for it. A good night out that concert would be. Cheers.
September 21st, 2024 at 10:04@32
Aha Ok MacGregor I see!
Well I really meant ‘bouncy’ not only regarding the drums, even though how important they are, but more like the overall feeling!
‘Bouncy’ like pure joy, where it’s impossible to stand still 😃
Sorry – I’m really not good to explain what I mean here! If you could see my gestures you would know what I mean 😄
‘Nothing at all’ – oh it makes me feel like Ian Gillan is saying goodbye there 🥺 guess that’s why it bothers me.
September 21st, 2024 at 16:58But you’re right! We all have our favourites 💜

Oh we so agree on Iggy Pop and David Dundas 🤩
Maybe it’s all about the feel good sense!
Happy Monday 👋🏼

September 23rd, 2024 at 06:54Sorry, forgot completely this: none of them can measure up to Gillan ‘living in the city’ 😉
Great show. There is also a 60 minutes pro-shot broadcast version.
September 23rd, 2024 at 14:19=1 songs were meant to be played live, no doubt about it.
