WHAT PAPER WAS THAT review in ?

I was at that gig and I couldn't believe how good it was.

A few years ago I saw DP at Edinburgh with TMIB and thought they were brilliant even though Joe Lynn Turner was doing vocals.

I didn't know what to expect with Gillan - and wasn't particularly expecting much at Aberdeen knowing Ritchie was out - but I was hugely impressed with Gillan's performance and Steve Morse was outstanding. Somehow you can't help taking it for granted that Lord, Paice and Glover always deliver the goods.

As well as the individual performances, the crowd were just blown away with the set - it was great to hear stuff like No One Came and Maybe I'm a Leo and Fireball. And Morse and Lord really pulled off a kick-ass Speed King. Gillan really was an amazing hit with the crowd - they just loved him - he really does look a star on stage.

I almost didn't bother going to the concert but decided at the last minute to scramble for tickets - I'm glad I didn't miss it. The other thing that surprised me was the crowd - there was the usual headbanger brigade (someone shouted "what about Ace of Spades ?"), the usual drunk mob, a lot of bald heads who who probably bought In Rock when it was released in 1970, but there were also a lot of wives, girlfriends and younger kids and you could see everyone just loved it.
