Hi all,
I want to share with you my experiences from DP gig last night. It was placed in Castle gardnes in Slavkov. Very nice place. Gig was planned on Sunday, but because of huge storm was stopped during production of support band. Almost one hour of stormy hell when tree branches fell to the crowd finished with statement from organizer that DP will not play and the gig is moved on Monday. What a lucky coincidence that DP didn't planned any other gig on Monday so it was possible to move it.
Finally I enjoyed the second attempt fully. I stood in first row in front of Steve's rig. And while everyone was watching the support band I was watching our Tommy doing his work.
Whole concert was in my opinion best from all 5 which I attend in the past. Steve as always with smile on his was. Starting with Blackie - very very nice looking finish. Steve used 5 guitars. Blackie, Purple, Tobacco (guessing), Blue Y2D and Number one. I was surprised that Number one was minimally used. But ok, now is Steve using much more the whammy bar...
For me the best moment was Contact lost and the solo. He played a bit with volume and delay and it was fantastic to hear the silence from the crowd. Only Steve's tones and sound of crickets from the garden.
Goose bumps..

In the end I can only recommend to all go and visit DP gig. Unbelievable that these guys are so fresh and are making such a good rock'n'roll in their age. And now they are in great shape.
PS: During my way back to home I was thinking to switch from ASS to Y2D. What do you think about it?
