Off Topic Just saw Deep Purple

[Pott]

And they were VERY good.

Very tight, great sounds, and I wasn't expecting much out of Gillan but once he'd warmed up, he was damn good!

Great shots of Don Airey's belly too.

Steve Morse just played three guitars: a sunburst Y2D, his old blue Morse and a Floyded black Y2D. Sounded like himself on all guitars of course.

They played The Well Dressed Guitar which made me VERY happy.

nice to hear. I´ll see them in Augsburg on 29/11
Do you have some pics?

 

[Pott]

No, I only have SLRs which are not allowed in venues I may need to get a compact camera with fast lens and big sensor but not something I'm ready to invest in now.

cool, sounds like it was a lot fun!!! By chance did you note the "set list"?? Particularly interested in the opening and closing tunes.

 

[Pott]

Last song was actually Black Night. They also played Hush in the encore which I truly was not expecting.
No Highway Star. They did play Perfect Strangers (also a surprise), and no Pictures of Home.

The one song I would LOVE to hear would be April. It'd be epic live. But given the singer and line-up at the time, that's wishful thinking of plutonic magnitude.

Hop, setlist: Deep Purple Concert Setlist at Rockhal, Esch-sur-Alzette on November 8, 2012 | setlist.fm
Songs I'd never heard: Wasted Sunsets, The Battle Rages On, Contact Lost, No One Came.

The solos were all pretty awesome, no question there.

 

[banjoplayer]

Perfect Strangers is not really a surprise. I can´t remeber that there was a show they didn´t play it.
Bot no Highway Star - this is a surprise.
I now have tickets for Augsburg on 29.11.12

Wonder if they might have a "live - in concert" cd coming out from this spin??

I don´t know but I can´t really imagine. I mean they have a new album coming out around february.
And to be honest - you can listen to any live recording or DVD since 2002. It didn´t change much.
plus there is a very busy bootlegging scene around DP if you wanna be up-to-date with the live stuff

That was a cool set...Into The Fire is a killer tune!

Must be hard for such a classic band, with so many hits, to put up a set that keeps them entertained and the audience surprised...
