[ d e e p P u r . p l e ) The Highway Star

DP Toronto 19/08/98

Being an ardent Morse fan, I have to say, simply, I was very pleased with the show. Pleased? Hell, blown away. I could listen to him for hours, days at a time. He's amazing. He fits in so well with the band, he even makes a song like "Smoke", that you've heard so many millions of times, sound like something new. The smile on his face throughout the show tells a lot.

I believe the set was pretty much the same as last couple of weeks. I too wish they were playing more from both _|_ and /\. It sure was nice to hear "Ted" last night, as I understand they'd dropped it a couple nights back. Why doesn't this stuff get played on the radio??!!

IG is too cool. Yeah, he was a bit rough at times, coughing a bit, but he delivered. He is still the coolest front man around.

Bottom line: they're tight, they're enjoying themselves and they rock.
