Last night blues
Every tour has to end, and this to me has been the best tour since Purpendicular at the Reading Rivermeade. That was the first time I was confronted by Steve Morse on guitar.
And today? Steve is the Deep Purple guitarist, and Don is the Deep Purple keyboard player, both gems in their own right.
I would love to see more of the new album, but hey, I can´t complain – this was quality throughout. I think the set also omits to show Steve´s contribution to the band for over a decade now. But he is still smiling so that can´t be an issue to him.
As with the second night of the tour in Manchester the only downside was that the night had to end.
I got a few pics but the ´jobs worth´ employed by the NEC appeared hell bent on stopping me taking pictures. He did not win… [And a job well done! Rasmus]
