We all came out to Brussels
Last week we went to Brussel to see Deep Purple, for me for the 17th time Deep Purple in 15 years! We went with 13 people and it turned out to be great.
At eleven a.m. we arrived at the Vorst National in Brussel. Because our day was not yet filled until the concert started, we went to a nearby pub. There we sold our Deep Purple CD’s to the owner of the pub to have their music all day long. That was great.
As time went by, more and more Deep Purple fans came in to the pub and we all had a great time there.
At seven p.m. we finally went to the concert and tried to get as close to the stage as we could. At eight p.m. the support band started to play, but we had no idea who that was.
Then finally, nine p.m.: showtime! Deep Purple came on stage and it was just like I expected. It was great! In the beginning, the sound was not good, but later on it was fixed.
Ian Gillan had a very good voice during the whole concert, and Steve Morse, what can I say, he was great. Roger Glover and Ian Paice were also great, as usual. Don who played the keyboard was also in very good shape.
Highlights of the concert were Picture’s Of Home, Living Wreck, Rapture of the Deep and Speed King. But all their other songs were also great.
It was one of the best concerts I have seen from them in 15 years and I sure was glad to be there. All 13 of us had al real good time and decided to go again the next time.
At midnight we went home, back to Holland, tired, but satisfied. Deep Purple, till next time!
