It was just awesome!
Blessed I am, for... I have seen the Gods...
It was AWESOME, AWESOME, just awesome. Thanks for playing in India for the second time. I am sure you are aware how much we love you guys here. From "Woman From To-ky-o!" to "Highway Star" it was mind-blowin, though we missed "Child in Time", "Strange Kind Of Woman" and "Space Trukin'".
Ian Paice, you are the best there is on planet Earth. Wouldn't have missed the solo. The 20 minute "Speed King" for the world.
You guys gotta come here again. You just have to. You must do more cities... Bombay, Madras, Cochin and of course Bangalore again. The response will be tremendous. It'll be a sellout.
