    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.

    Thanks 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.

    I 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.

    I find it odd that someone would spend the whole concert watching the small screen on their phone!

    They dropped ‘Show me’ for when ‘a blind man 😭’
    This 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 ✌️

    I attended the concert in Sao Paulo. Very good, perfect sound and Ian Gillan in fine form. 1hour 45 playing time.
    Perfect

    How right Mark is. “Mediocre player” my ass.

    This 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.

    While 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!

    This person stood there with their arm raised for 105 minutes. That’s some dedicated bootleggin’ lol

    It’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.
    Cheers

    What’s with worldwide ban of Highway Star on recent YT uploads? Anyone knows?

    In 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.
