Sur le site de SED LEX, la première partie française, il y a des vidéos de l'annonce des concerts de DEEP PURPLE à Lyon et Paris, annonce faite sur France 3 et M6

Quel jeu, quel son! ça fait du bien d'entendre des batteries avec un son chaud comme ça! Steve Morse est vraiment impressionnant, et d'une humilité... respect! J'ai été un peu surpris par Roger Glover qui a modernisé son jeu de scène, et qui joue au médiator... bizarre... Bon, et puis pour Ian Gillan, ben il est vieux... C'est hallucinant, comme sa voix a changé depuis les années 70s. Il est bien sûr beaucoup moins impérial qu'à l'époque, mais ça reste un excellent chanteur, avec une voix plus posée et plus chaude; mais disons que sur les classiques, des fois c'est un peu frustrant, surtout sur Highway Star ou Speed King.

C'etait pas Eric Singer sur cette tournée ?Gaëtan a écrit : Je sais pas comment s'appelle son batteur, mais il est vraiment impressionnant; c'est le seul musicien qui m'a vraiment marqué. Et comme d'hab avec Alice Cooper, un show et une mise en scène d'enfer!

After half an hour break for rebuilding (it took quite a long time to take away the coffin, the corpse parts and the guillotine), which put he atmosphere down to zero again, it finally started. There were two big video screens at the sides of the stage, but only one worked, luckily the one at my side. So I could see our guys step out of a tour box and walk onto stage. Nice trick!
Setlist:
Pictures of Home
Things I Never Said
Wrong Man
Ted the Mechanic
Living Wreck
Rapture of the Deep
Before Time Began
Mary Long
Well Dressed Guitar /Steve Morse Solo
Lazy
Don Airey Solo
Perfect Strangers
Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye
Space Trucking
Highway Star
Smoke on the Water
Encores:
Speed King / r’n'r medley
short solo Roger Glover
Black Night
Somewhere there was a drums solo, but I forgot where. In the other setlists there was Junkyard Blues, but I can’t remember having heard that.
Finish was at appr. 23:15, so about 1 3/4 hours playing time.
The songs in detail:
The first notes of Pictures… were awful, something was totally wrong with the organ sound. The music was extremely bass heavy, also the guitar sounded strange. But after a short while the sound technicians got it right and then the sound was excellent. Sometime Steve and his technician fiddled at his amplifier also. POH is one of my favourites, but as an opener I prefer Ted or Highway Star.
Things I Never Said of course nobody knew (except the hardcore fans of course), according the atmosphere was very cautious. I found that not the best of a live song.
Wrong Man took off well, the hard riff obviously was the taste of the masses. Great live song for headbanging. I’d like to hear that more often in the future. Ted finally had a bit of recognition effect.
Living Wreck let the atmosphere cool down again, as it seems to be more unknown. Nice change, it came to my mind this could have been taken into the setlist as an allusion to Alice (sorry, Mr Cooper)?
ROTD got across very well, the promotion and TV appearances paid off. This song, together with Wrong Man might be heard more often. Before Time Began had an extremely weak beginning, especially Ian’s singing was rather lean. The second, harder part was very good again.
Nothing to say about Mary Long.
Steve’s Solo with elements of Well Dressed Guitar at the beginning and at the end was great. Afterwards he said, he would have played much longer, “…but the boys cut my solo down”.
Lazy was brilliant, great interplay of Don and Steve. Don’s solo was the regular, with classics and Star Wars and local colour. During Perfect Strangers the hall boiled for the first time. But it cooled down noticeably during Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye.
The classics Space Truckin’, Highway Star and SOTW were thrillers of course. On the video screens they showed pictures of water and fire during SOTW, but no smoke visible.
Short break, then it went on with Speed King, built in a medley of old Rock’n'Roll songs like Mary Lou. A (much too short) bass solo lead to Black Night, a breaker as usual.
Final conclusion: sold out hall (what was not at all the case with Bananas), thanks to extensive promotion on all stations (I have heard spots with IG, Don, Paicey and Roger).
Sound perfect (after initial difficulties), atmosphere indifferent, but all together very good. Maybe the impression was deceiving. As I was sitting for the first time, surrounded by elder gentlemen, for whom tapping with the foot was an extreme emotional outburst, I am normally used to something different, but the first row, where I can be found usually, maybe is not representative as well.
I found it a pity, that not a single song from Bananas was played, Haunted or House of Pain would have been nice, if only as a reminder that there is another album that most don’t have at home. A little bit of promotion in own case can’t be wrong.
By the way, from the gates of the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle were opened, it took a long time before I could pick up my tickets at the box office. The local management had no intention to considering the guest list and brought our tickets only after the hall was completely sold out(!), so I didn’t enter the hall till the end of the opening act MadMax.
Alice Cooper was musically quite ok, he played from 19:45 (with 15 minutes delay) until 21:00 h. The atmosphere was quite cautious at the beginning, only during the encores did the audience really get off. His show is a matter of taste, I personally don’t like this kind of glorification of violence.

C'était un peu un concert Machine Head/Rapture Of The Deep.

The Montreux Jazz Festival founder Claude Nobs has told Billboard.com that efforts are being made to get former DEEP PURPLE guitarist Ritchie Blackmore to rejoin his bandmates for their appearance at the 40th-anniversary edition of the festival this summer.
When asked by Billboard.com about DEEP PURPLE's performance at the Swiss festival 35 years after their classic "Smoke on the Water" was inspired by a fire at the The Montreux Casino, Nobs said, "It is going to be a special evening. I don't know who they are going to invite. I hope Ritchie Blackmore will join them. I know they are trying."
