Kilgore Trout Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Where is the show? The only major concert I have seen in LOS was Roger Waters back in about 02, worst run show I had ever seen. The attendants didn't know where to seat anyone and them leading me around to my seat took nearly an hour causing me to miss half the show, the acoustics were terrible and even though Waters was decent the sound really sucked, beer ran out before the show even started. Leaves me to wonder if a good rock show can be seen in Thailand. Anyone have better experiences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sendbaht Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Maybe when they were young, but now who is going to waste time and money to see a bunch of third rate fossils play songs that were popular 40 years ago? I would in a heart beat love to go. But then again, I like 40 year books too.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hssl Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I personally think this will be one of the best 'rock' shows Bangkok is going to get this year and the oldies have still got enough balls to come in play here! Rock on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalPoster Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) I saw Deep Purple, or at least the then current reincarnation of Deep Purple, in the Spectrum (the indoor stadium they used for basketball and hockey games) in Philadelphia some time around 1984 or 1985. It was so loud that that the concrete pillars holding up the roof seemed to be vibrating. The band appeared to be playing well but the fidelity of the sound was so poor (it wasn't just massively loud, it was muffled sounding to boot) that the whole thing could only be called absurd. Most of the stoners in the audience didn't seem to notice that anything was amiss though. Would have been better off staying home and listening to the old LPs.

lazygourmet Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I once dated Dave Coverdale's ex-girlfriend. Before or after Whitesnake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabbaGabbaHey Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Deep Purple 2002 concert in Bangkok was one of my best concert experience and I am delighted to see them again -front row this time-. I expect the sound to be better in Thunder Dome than Impact Arena. Yes, it is no more Richie Blackmore or John Lord, but Rock'n roll is a spirit, an attitude, and believe me these guys still deliver. It can't be anything else, just try to imagine the taste of a top brand 40-year mature whisky. Those who doubt about Steve Morse abilities should watch Australia 99/Total Abandon video, you'll be stoned. As to know which band will provide the best rock concert in Thailand in 2010, it's not a done deal. They have to beat Green Day (electrifying concert in Jan), a surprisingly funky performance from 69 year-old Tom Jones plus... who knows, maybe by the end of the year we could get... Rammstein?! On Friday, "Vive le Rock" and let's Burn...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyraider Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Unfortunately I can’t go to the Deep Purple concert, because I got a tinnitus. Will someone tape or film the show? Please send me a PM if you’ll recording the show, thanks a lot! And another question: Who taped the Deep Purple shows in 1991 and 2002 and will trade?
