Deep Purple a Conegliano S.Lucia di Piave, 29 agosto 2001 (di Giulio Pico)

What a Wonderful night it was.... At my third Deep Purple's concert I've been amazed! The best one I've ever seen.

I was a little worried about the absence of Jon Lord, but in a couple of minutes Don Airey convinced me that he was the best replacement for Jon. Two hours of very good music, with a very fine Ian Gillan (his best live performance since I saw him for the first time), an incredible Steve Morse (strange uh?), Ian Paice rolling with one hand and a so fine Roger Glover.

These guys were enjoying themselves on stage smiling all around.

The set list:

1. Woman From Tokyo
2. Ted The Mechanic
3. Mary Long
4. Lazy
5. No One Came
6. Fools
7. The Well Dressed Guitar
8. Perfect Strangers
9. When A Blind Man Cries
10. Steve Morse's "Teach yourself rock history in 6 minutes"
11. Smoke On The Water
12. Speed King

Encores:

1. Black Night
2. Hush
3. Highway Star

Funny the joke about the Smoke on The Water intro, in which Steve started 5 or 6 Rock hits before the famous riff. Very involving the classical tablatures played by Don, perfectly mixed with the other stuff.

Definitely not my last DP concert. Bye.
