Deep Purple Tickets

I comepletely enjoyed this show. Great sound. I have a renewed interest in just how good this music was and is. These guys are highly talented...

it was great, the sound was amazing. i loved all the lights and the perfrmance. they sang and played great. i would go and see then again.

First time at the Bethel Center for the Arts and I must say it is a beautiful venue! This is NOT the first time I have seen DP tho'. They NEVER dissapoint me! The band sounded very good for a bunch of old guys who have been touring almost non-stop for the past 9 years! Put a lot of younger guys to shame. I was kinda skeptical of the whole "touring orchestra" bit as I have seen Jethro Tull and even DP do this but they were great! Perfect Stranger sounded so good with the orchestra! You hear those string sections on a recording and you just think sampler so it was interesting to hear REAL STRINGS (and woodwinds!). I would recommend this tour to any DP fan. Go see 'em!!

Had never attended a Deep Purple concert till now and was completely WOWWED by this legendary hard rock band. I would def. go see them perform again!!!

Since I know that Zep are in no hurry to give the Rock World what they yearn...I needed to see what remains of the group that in my opinion (as originally constructed with Mr Lord & Mr Blackmore) with Zep, were the co-inventors of Heavy Rock.....The present group does not disappoint, due to their obvious love of what they do, & their music expertise...They know what they are doing..Giving the older Rock fans who know the importance of the history of the British Bands that invaded and saved the American kids of the late 60s & early 70s., just what they needed a transfusion of the Rock that changed the way we responded to the musicians who flat out played so hard, that they were soaked with music sweat...As a 62 year old who now religiously follows Eddie Vedder/Pearl Jam, Chris Cornell, Ben Harper, etc., ..I knew it was time to remind myself of my roots. After the Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Kinks of the mid 60s, I was so ready for the heavier Zep & Deep Purple, so it was a no brainer that I had to be at Bethel..I took my wife for her 58th birthday taking full advantage of the fact that I could also enjoy the gift as well. That's not as bad as Re-Gifting, is it?......LOL!....Deep Purple's many different faces over the years, is not the way I would have hoped the Band transformed, but they have re-tooled well, and they are not a sell out band, as they still do the one thing that they have done since 1968.....Rock our Faces Off, with over the top efforts & results.....Bravo Deep Purple......We had a great night at Bethel...

This show was outstanding. The 38 piece orchestra was a fantastic dynamic that I really enjoyed. Deep Purple has kicked it up a notch with the addition of Steve Morse and Don. The band and orchestra rocked the Tropicana showroom to it's foundation!

Accompanied by a 38-piece mini-symphonic orchestra, this was Deep Purple at its best in many, many years. Despite his age (and some tone-deaf critics' opinions), Ian Gillan was absolutely on pitch, even though the band had to scale it down a few keys or two to accommodate his slightly lower register. The songs spanned the entire 42-year career of the band--from "Hush" to "Rapture of the Deep," and there were a couple hard-core instrumentals from Stevie and Don, which was a treat. And, the Paice-Glover machine was intact--i.e. flawless. Having seen DP a few times in the last decade in the U.S., I was surprised this time around by the band's delivery and its perfect synchronicity with the orchestra. I was also surprised to see so many people in the audience who could easily pass as Ian's grandkids--and, let's face it, they came without their parents (or grandparents....), which means that the music really speaks across generations. This was a first-rate gig, delivered by the world-class hard rock virtuosos who, I guess, are not ready for cashing in their 401(k)s just yet.

A very good concert. Brought back the 70's.. Excellent guitar work with a stellar light show. The orchastra was a good mix with a loud and creative bank sinc...

They really rocked the house!! I love Bethel Woods and hope that more classic rock bands keep performing there. This was a great show.

Awesome legendary band!! Did not disappoint!!!!!!!

seen them many times..These guys are still doing it and doing it good. I love when they blend in the newer stuff. The band rocks and it was a treat with the orchestra. Excellent show

Deep Purple sounds and rocks as good as ever!! From strob lights to outragous soloes by all menbers, a show you will enjoy if you like hard, heavy rock. oh btw, your ears may still be ringing the next day!! loved it!

The symphony was awesome. This is the 3rd time I've seen them. The open band was awesome as well.. It was eric and the automatics.

From the opening number (Highway Star) until the last encore (Hush) they were absolutely great! Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and (especially) Ian Paice were tight as ever, and with Steve Morse and Don Airey one doesn't miss Jon Lord or Ritchie Blackmore much at all. Add a 24 piece orchestra and the results were phenomenal. Ian Paice is clearly one of the best rock drummers ever (Try to find video of Paul McCartney's Cavern show from 2000, with Ian Paice on drums and David Gilmour on guitar. Talk about super-groups!). Deep Purple rocks better than bands half their age. Do not miss this show. It's awesome!

very enjoyable show , seat up graded from the lawn , thank god because it poured, great sound , helpful ushers

Deep Purple is always great live but this show was excellent.They are always musicians first showman 2nd. The talent they have is just awesome even though they are up in age which don't seem to bother them at all. Ian Paice great as ever and to me he is still the best rock drummer out there. Steve Morris always delivers as well as Roger Glover still keeping that firm bass line going. Don Airy can play some mean keyboards and I like it that he uses a Hammond organ just like Jon did. Ian Gillan can't hit the high notes like he did but he kept it professional and he can still bring it. I can't wait come around this way again. DP is my favorite band since 1970. KEEP ON ROCKN'

For a big Deep Purple fan from the 70's, the show was great! They did all of the classics and did them with an orchestra. I never would have thought of Deep Purple with an orchestra, but it was a good addition. Even though they did not have Richie Blackmore on lead guitar, his abscense was not felt.

Concert was very lightly attended, with many empty rows, which kind of set the stage for what was to come. A generally mediocre performance followed a very forgetable opening act( I can't even remember the act's name...nobody I talked to including event staff had even heard of them). They brought with them, and marked heavily, that they were using a full orchestra for the event. Well, they sure looked nice in their Black Tie outfits, but you sure as hell couldn't hear them except for two very brief interludes. Why bother if you are going to drown them all out! Both acts suffered from poor sound control(mixing) which diminished the pleasure of the otherwise pleasant evening( well except for the incessant rain,but I have learned that it always rains in Bethel-LOL)

the music was great but to loud ,could not hear words to the songs

The concert was amazing. Ian Gillan is spectacular. He still sings very well although his age. The band was completely in sync with the orchestra. Yep, they had an orchestra playing with them! The most curious thing was the audience: 90% were bald, fat, wearing denture, old guys most of them walking with canes, but you know what, that is the real thing. Real old love for the real old rock!
