It was 44 years ago today...


I saw my first Purple gig at Bristol Colston Hall. I was never the same again. In fact, it was my first live show by any band - what a start. I was 13 years old and my musical tastes have broadened an awful lot since then but my love for Deep Purple will never wane. Thanks, chaps.

I saw my first deep purple show 1975, the mk III lineup.
In a packed Scandinavium arena in Gothenburg.
We were 35 kids from a small town 250 km north of G. We hired a bus actually, on our own.

Nice one. Catching Tommy has to have been special.

My first Deep Purple concert was in Oslo 1993. 25 years ago this year.

Unaware at the time, only later I realized how lucky I was to see the mkII line up at their very end.

And no less because I discovered Deep Purple in 1987, at the age of 14, two weeks too late for their gig in Oslo that year, which I soon heard was exceptionally great even for Deep Purple standards.

That's really cool. I missed that period completely and only realised how fine it was in retrospect.
