Went to see DP & Lynyrd

WOOT!

I'm a bit late in posting, but hey!

On Wednesday, I went to see Deep Purple & Lynyrd Skynyrd! Both bands were amazing!

Skynyrd rocked, I wasn't expecting them to be so crazy. They were like a punk band going crazy running around and jumping!
They finished the set with Sweet Home, then came back out and played Freebird.
Awesome, awesome show they put on!

:40mins later:
I managed to get near the front for when Deep Purple came on, and watching this gear come on was great. I'm pretty sure Roger had mesa or trace cabs, he brought on four 8x10s and steve had 8 4x12's.
so much gear, was great!


When they finally came on, they opened with Highway Star, and I tell you, the crowd over powered them. You could only JUST hear the band!
Steve is awesome on guitar! I'd say he had waaaaay too many solos, but I just did
Don Airey, the new KB'er was great too! Was like a little kid ina toystore jumping around up there on his own little stage!

anyway, I suggest ya'll check 'em out when they are next touring in your area!!

rock on!

 

Yea, I forgot too mention!

they played 5 new songs! all were awesome!
One or two were sort of different from their usual hard rock (see:ballad) but I still liked 'em.

Hehe... Ian: 'OK, here's another song, this has even less lyrics.. arrr!'
*band breaks into Speed King*

 

I took a guess by saying that Jon didn't want to tour anymore.

I have a DVD of Come Hell or High Water, and he seems optimistic about a future of the band should they decide to go on later in life.

What age is he now? Must be in his early 60's?

 

David, are they a local glasgow band?

I know there was a sort of modern hard rock band that opened up, but I only got the last min and a bit of their last song, it sounded good!

Didn't wanna comment since I didn't hear the,
