Deep purple in Tel Aviv
Deep Purple live at Nokia Arena (Tel Aviv, Israel 2014-02-22)
A superb performance by the band and they sound the same as they were 40 years ago. Being a fan in the great audience I enjoyed the whole performance , feeling young and bringing back memories from the rocking years of the 60’s & 70’s.
Have a colection of CD’s & Vinyl records with some live performances on Dvd’s too. Though missed Richie Blackore and Jon Lord, still sounds awesome and I thank the band for still being so Suberb. Don’t have pics from the last concert but from the 2011 show at Caesarea . Wish the band many more years of great performances. Thanks.

Reading all kinds of contrary to this opinion today. Thanks for posting.

April 7th, 2014 at 14:50Sound the same as they did 40 years ago. I dont think so.
April 7th, 2014 at 16:03But better than 40 years from now.
April 7th, 2014 at 21:24can Never sound as good without Richie…
April 7th, 2014 at 21:52OK – SUPERB YEAHHHH
April 7th, 2014 at 22:08Err… How can they sound the same as 40 years ago? They didn’t even come close with the reformation in the 80’s let alone with two different musicians in the band. Morse’s Music Man /Engl set up is totally different tonally to Ritchie’s Strat/Marshalls!
April 8th, 2014 at 16:45Great show, hope to see DP again in Tel Aviv next year!
April 10th, 2014 at 10:42Semantics, semantics. They sounded good, great, excellent as a unit 47 years ago, they sounded good, great, excellent in the just shy of mid-seventies, they sounded good, great, excellent in the 80’s, they sounded good, great, excellent in the mid to late 90’s, followed by the first, and now second decade of the 21st century.
Next?
Peace,
