Ljublana: Three generations turned up
I am still under strong impressions after yesterday’s Deep Purple concert in Ljubljana, Slovenia. I saw them four times before and they were always great – and also yesterday!
In spite of their age and long lasting tour, they acted very fresh, relaxed and full of energy through the whole show.
The big Tivoli hall was full of fans despite relatively expensive tickets and the fact that they performed in Slovenia three times in the last three years. It was nice to see people enjoying the concert and singing along, there were at least three generations, from 16 to 60+.
Set list was predictable, some new songs, only one from Bananas, no Purpendicular or Abandon song, and a lot of older classics, including Lazy, Highway Star, Strange Kind Of Woman, Space Truckin’, Hush, Pictures of Home, Fireball, Black Night and of course Smoke On The Water.
The only drawback was a weak sound, but all in all I am very, very glad that I saw them again.
And I was lucky enough again to get a photo pass. Believe me, it is hard to take photos if you are a great fan, but still I managed to take some decent shots.
Thank you Deep Purple for a lot of happy moments!
