Don Petersburg

I had the good fortune to watch a longish (two hours) soundcheck... Almost two concerts in one day.

Great show indeed. The band seems to be in top form. Gillan is doing fine in Child In Time. Some fine moments from Don Airey when introducing Perfect Strangers. Extended bass solo in Speed King - very nice one. Paicey was just great. Steve was very agressive in Smoke On The Water and Mary Long.
