I saw Deep Purple a couple of years ago.
It was a bit like watching Steve Morse and his backing band. Great guitarist.
I think Gillan has lost it but I never really rated him - Whisper it quietly but I prefer Mr Coverdale as DP's singer !

I saw DP a couple of years ago in Nottingham - they were brill. Steve Morse simply awesome but the rest of form right on the mark.
Great music - never quite sure how you describe Purple - all that keyboard - ?Heavy Prog

Panic Room last night.. mising Josh nad Friends supported by Chris Johnson's parade as a) the weather is too bad and b) pulled the muscles in my back this afternoon...

My 18 year old son saw Kasabian last night.
When I picked him up from the station at 00:45 this morning he was buzzing.
He said it was the "best gig he has ever been to."
Putting that into some sort of context..he has seen Rush, Queen, Muse, Gary Moore, Fish, Thin Lizzy, The Fratellis, Guns and Roses and Deep Purple. Now there are some pretty impressive live bands in that lot.
He was right down the front. He says that atmosphere was brilliant. The band was totally up for it. The crowd were still singing well after the concert was finished. Sounds like Kasabian are a band about to break into the big time.

It made me think how important the atmosphere is at a gig. Some bands just know how to get a crowd going. Some can have great sound and lights but the audience just doesn't get too involved so you leave the gig feeling there was something missing.

I remember when I saw Marillion the first time they ever played Hammersmith Odeon. "Script" had only just been released yet the whole audience was singing along to every word. Made hairs stand up on the back of my neck . I just knew I was watching my favourite band becoming a great band.

I think Coverdale was great in Whitesnake, not sure about deep purple, revues of him lately not too good? Unless he writes them

The Kasabian gig sounds great, my daughter is going to see them next week !!

I really rate Kasabian, bought Empire a couple of years ago, on a freinds recommendation, they are a great band.
