Stoffer
Ripening Tour 2003 part 1
Deep Purple had been away since September 2002, when - after
a well-deserved holiday and a much-requested trip to the recording studio -
they took a quick summer trip round mainland Europe while waiting for the new
album Bananas to ripen.
'New old' songs were promised for the tour and we did see the live premier of
I'm Alone (the 1971 single b-side), as well as the inclusion of two brand new
songs.
Fans were divided between those who applauded the impressive twin-headline bill
of DP and boogie rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd - and those who simply think Skynyrd
blew an unimaginative Deep Purple set right off the stage! Browse these reviews
and judge for yourself.
Once again, Manfred Stoffer and others provided us with exellent photographic
evidence of the proceedings.
As always, if you catch a Deep Purple show anywhere, let
us know how it was
