Saw them last night and thoroughly enjoyed it! Sitting in row 6, I was a bit concerned about my hearing, but the ringing has subsided now. :eek: I know DP isn't everyone's cup o' tea, but you can't deny that they are fantastic musicians. Ian Gillan's vocal cords have not aged well and he strained quite a bit - to the point where I thought he might cr*p himself, but the chops of the instrumentalists is second-to-none. Lyrics were never their strong suit, but the music is top drawer, IMHO. Steve Morse is a most worthy succesor to Ritchie Blackmore, as Don Airey is for Jon Lord. Ian Paice's drumwork was spot on and Roger Glover's bass-work was excellent, as expected and he looked like he was really enjoying himself on stage. For such old codgers, the performance was very impressive.

sounds great ! glad to hear they can still rock, I've been a huge fan for 40 years !

Made in Japan is still my favorite album of theirs.

I saw many many great concerts in the 70's,but I never had the chance to see them :(

I've seen them in 72 at the Savannah Civic Center. What a show that was. Opening act was "Curved Air" from England then was John Kay "Steppenwolf" and Deep Purple. We did a little acid that night and I remember my windshield wipers (since it was raining on the way home) on my Corvette turned into dancing snakes.

My brother was there dude. He said it was awesome. Did they play Highway Star? I absolutely love that tune. I met Don Airey in the UK back in Aug. He plays the pipe organ for a small church there, and did so for a memorial service. He came up chatting with us afterward as we ate cake & cookies from local old ladies there... MMMMmmmm
