A crowded Campo Pequeno, hosted one of the best bands ever, for a fantastic concert.
There were many expectations to see the mythical band and punctually at 9 pm the concert started after Urock had warmed up the room, and very well, let’s say, conquering the public with a performance full of energy and rock.
Ian Paice on drums, Roger Glover on bass, Simon McBride on guitar and Don Airey on keys, opened the concert with ‘Highway Star’, with Ian Gillan coming on stage, followed by ‘Pictures Of Home’, in a night that mythical themes were the motto for a night that fans won’t soon forget.

Before finishing, a high point was ‘Space Truckin’ and ‘Smoke On The Water’, in which they were accompanied by the public, ending one night with ‘Hush’ and ‘Black Night’.
