Hier ein kurzer Beitrag aus "The Telegram" vom Start der Kanada Tour in St. John's (Neufundland)
So there was one question left for the real fans: will Deep Purple in 2012 measure up to our cherished memories of Deep Purple in 1973?
In a word: yeah.
Actually, I’ll take two words: hell yeah.
OK, so Gillan, 66, kind of lost the high notes in the upper-register keyboard-guitar cacophony of the better known howlers, and Don Airey may not have had the precision of the Young Lord, but these guys still know how to rock an arena.
From the opening “Highway Star” right through to the “Hush” encore, the place rumbled with energy.
And volume. Serious volume. Here’s a band that remembers the value of decibels. The crowd was left with banging heads and ringing ears. That’s rock and roll, baby.
