VENUE: Patra Stadium

The bitter-sweet impressions of the previous nights made me feel worry regarding the following day event. Hopefully the show was better...

Vasilis

Vasilis was again in good shape! Like he always do! Although I have to admit that previous day performance of the track "Sebastian" was better.

Deep Purple

The good news came for the headlining band and especially from the frontman Ian Gillan who showed to us the reason of being in the top ranked vocalists of the entire globe. Steve Morse was also better than yesterday. A good reason was that he cut his never-ending solos... Deep Purple performed in front of 3500 people. The setlist was the same. The crowd was so hot because it was hungry for a good rocking live show. Patra is not used to such events...

Setlist:

• Highway Star
• Hard Lovin' Man
• Maybe I'm A Leo
• Strange Kind Of Woman
• Rapture Of The Deep
• Silver Tongue
• Steve Morse solo
• When A Blind Man Cries
• Almost Human
• Lazy
• No One Came
• Don Airey solo / Perfect Strangers
• Space Truckin'
• Smoke On The Water
• Hush
• Black Night
