Oslo
I was blown away. the only concert I've been to that can match it was Springsteen this summer...
totally awesome. Uriah Hepp was very good to, and did a good job getting the audience going (btw - how fat is their drummer??? )
the only thing to complain about was the running time it was all over too soon
I still wish they had done Haunted - but doing it tonight was alright - by all means Gillan surprised me, and probably everyone else to, with a VERY powerfull voice, and loads of the great high pitched screams. top notch frontman - no doubt about it - and good humour in between the songs as well!
Don Airey was brilliant. I knew he was gonna be good (otherwise they'd found another keyboard player, wouldn't they ) - but not THAT good. excellent playing. great solo with snippets of Grieg (which the audience loved!) and a "shivers down the spine" intro to Perfect Strangers
Steve was, as expected, amazing. such amazing playing from that man. contact lost was beatiful - and the well dressed guitar is MIND BLOWING (the latter had Gillan standing behind him with the tambourine, getting ppl to raise their hands and clap along - which put a big grin on steve's face) dunno when he started doing that different intro, but keep doing it!!!
watching Ian Paice was a JOY. what a drummer!!! and Roger was rock solid
if any1 comes across a recording - please get in touch!!!
thanx guys for an amazing concert

In Helsinki he looked liked he was on the verge to get a heart attack!
It seems that Purple keeps on going strong, they were awesome in Helsinki too as you may have read.

Re: Oslo
i was at the show too.... thought about bringing a videocamera but they would have stopped me anyway...
awesome show!
and yeah, the drummer was fat... couldn't see the background ... anyway; i was dissapointed about Heep. i saw them some years ago with Status Quo and that was fantastic!
i saw Deep Purple in birmingham and london earlyer this year, and the setlist was much more shorter than it was in oslo 25.11...
AWESOME!!!!!!!

Ah, yes but Lee Kerslake is the Roger Glover of Heep!
