CAMPAL: Famous Deep Purple, one of the world's first brands to fuse classical and rock music, will be visiting Goa to enthral audiences with its unique genre of sophisticated rock'n'roll.
The band is on its 2002 World Tour and will perform at different places in the country, including Mumbai and Goa, as part of the Indian segment. The Goa concert is presented by soft drink major Pepsi in association with BPL Mobile, Parax and MTV and will be held at the Panaji Gymkhana Grounds, Campal, on May 5. The tour is expected to feature some of the band's most popular tracks including the classics Smoke On The Water, Fireball, Black Night, Lady from Tokyo, Hush and many more foot-tapping numbers. Deep Purple's Lan Paice, the constant element in its signature sound, will play the drums with the same passion and ability that earned the band global esteem. Lan Gillan, whose golden throat landed him the original lead role in Jesus Christ Superstar, will showcase his classic vocal styling in Goa and Mumbai. On the guitar will be Steve Mores who has aptly filled Ritchie Blackmore's sizable shoes. Roger Glove's handling of the bass with Don Airey on the keyboards will add an unquestionable vitality to Deep Purple music. The band first gained global prominence after the release of the 1970s' hit Deep Purple in Rock. This album still stands as a milestone in defining what would eventually be called `hard rock' and the resulting tours maintained the band's reputation as one of the best live acts in music business. After playing to an audience of over 8 million in more than 50 countries across the globe, Deep Purple is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year with their largest world tour since 1985. The recent album, Abandon, showcases an exciting, relevant act of the group. This tour to India and its different cities will feature more new songs than they have ever played before, including classics that are sure to please the India audience. The show in Goa is expected to be a world class event with an awesome stage powered by approximately 300,000 watts of stunning sound and dazzling lights. With the 2002 World Tour covering Australia, the Far East, Japan and India, Deep Purple is expected to single out Mumbai and especially Goa, to relive a classic performance of the best of Purple.
