Saw Deep Purple last night, for the first time since 1998.
Man, for guys who are all in their 60s (except for steve morse, who is almost 60) they fucking ROCKED THE SHIT. God they were heavy. They played the heaviest versions of Lazy and Hush that you could ever imagine. They sounded like completely new songs.
My ears are still ringing. They only played songs from the Mark II line-up and the current line-up which was completely expected but still slightly disappointing. Mark III in particular has some of my favourite Purple songs. Oh well, I saw Glenn Hughes on his solo tour last year and he played most of them.
Was glad to hear them throw The Battle Rages On into the mix though. Didn't expect them to, I love that song.
Took some pics, but only with my phone. Will maybe upload if I can ever find an appropriate cable.
