An Evening with Deep Purple

han sawi vak tur pawh ka hrelo. Steve Morse-an a tak a min han hmu kha a mak ka ti deuh a ni mai hehe. Tak tak a, I actually saw Steve Morse play… and Deep Purple too.

A colleage of mine got the time of his life when he won the contest to meet the band. Actaully he didn’t win.. someone from our office won, but wasn’t interested and gave it to my friend Joseph.

So this guy Joseph took along his guitar without any real hope of getting it past the gate. Sure enough they won’t let him take the guitar even after pleading with everybody. They said they had organised a contest for an autographed guitar, so it won’t be right to just let someone in with a guitar and have it autographed. So, in he went without his guitar… and guesss what he did… he told Steve Morse abt the situation. Morse joking said they must think there’s a gubn inside. Then one of the volunteers to let the guitar through. That’s how he got a guitar with all their autographs, picks etc etc. Then some DNA big shot came and scolded Joseph “Who asked you to bring a guitar in here?”, to which my friend pointed to Steve Morse, who gave an evil grin. He said nothing more.

Ok… about the concert. Much of what you’d expect from a Deep Purple show… When a blind man cries, starship trooper, smoke on the water, highway star… etc. Perfect Strangers was awesome… the best performance of the night for me. Tin Black Night te pawh.

An instrumental solo vel pawh hmuhnawm khop mai. Don Airey played some of his famous earlier works, including the intro to Mr. Crowley (yes he was the guy who played keys for that album). And the best part was when he played the Star Wars Soundtrack. And there was a short drums and bass solos too.

Steve Morse a poh alo thiam khop mai haha. Hla hrang hrang a perh kual vak a, AC/DC hla te… hla hlui a ngaihthlak thin ho te pawh a niang. But I wasn’t expecting Sweet Child of Mine haha. Vai hovin an lawm khop mai. Tin, “Kan Pathian Kulhpui Nghet A Ni” tih hla kha a play bawk. A similar video can be found here after 3:30 mins of the video. But he played the whole verse last night. Thla lak ka tum nasat nen ka phone ka ken theihnghilh a zialo khop mai.

Overall, you could make out Steve Morse’s influence on the band. They played some of their new songs which didn’t sound typically Deep Purple. There was on song called “You Got The Wrong Man” (written about a man who went to prison for 2 decades for something he didn’t do, exlains Gillian) which had a metal feel, and the guitar sounded much ‘crunchier’, more like a Petrucci kinda sound.

Sawi tur pawh ka hre tawhlo…

Anih phot…

Vawiinah ka haw dawn.
