    He opened the first night of the tour with the following setlist:

    The Valiant Denial
    Orion
    Land Of Living
    Mistreated
    Coast To Coast
    You Got Soul
    Don't Let Me Bleed
    Gettin' Tigher
    You Keep On Moving
    Steppin' On
    Stormbringer

    Encore:
    Burn

    Traditionally gigs in that part of the world are lot more Purple heavy, so it's good to see half the set containing new and more recent material :thumbup:

  • Hey everyone, my name is Anya, you can check on me at http://myspace.com/emaretta

    As I live in Russia and get all the stuff on the tour first, I thought I should make a blog about this Russian Tour 2007!
    I've already written the 1st post, and I invite everyone who's interested to check this thingy often from now on, as i gonna be collecting all the info on the tour altogether.

    Here's the link:

  • Fesco-hall. 23.02.2007. Vladivostok.
    Great perfomance! Actually it could be better but not in THAT place.
    Crazy fans keeps BURN LP's in hands and not in vain - "Burn" was the last song.
    They screamed "Oooooh, Glenn, O.K., all right!!!!!".
    It's pity that show lasts just one hour and 20 minutes.

    The Battle Rages On!

  • Hello!
    Although there's been 'battle' among the 'reporters' of the tour i still think that there is not enough information. If it is possible can you brief us about every show in Russia? We want pictures too. How is Glenn? How is he and his band feeling? Is everything going OK?

    So, please, don't keep us in suspense! :huh:

    Have a nice day, everyone! ;)

  • i still think that there is not enough information. If it is possible can you brief us about every show in Russia? We want pictures too ;)

    Well, keep in mind there's probably limited internet access in the hotels in certain cities, so be patient ;)

    Meantime (if you can read Russian), there's a report with pix from the Vladivostok show here :cool:

  • Along with all the other GHCPs, I'm looking forward to as many reports
    - with photographs - from Glenn's wide-ranging tour of Russia.
    And I'd love to know that GH actually has enough time between shows,
    to take some really "snappy" photographs himself :camera:

    That being said, can anybody translate the newspaper headline,
    of the newspaper that Glenn is holding in the first post's picture?
    Maybe it will explain the front page photo?

    OK, I guess that I'm the official ax murderer around here,
    but that picture looks to me, as if those 2 guys are fighting,
    while trying to stab each other with knives in their hands.

    In the words of the late, great, Marvin Gaye: "What's goin' on?"

  • David, many thanks for the link (fortunately I can read Russian).

    Grace, the newspaper headline reads "Caucasian Mutiny In the Russian Army" :clapper:

    Bye bye

  • Well, one of my friends will give me some pictures from Glenn's show. I suppose to write a little article about perfomance.

    Anyway our mass media tells that Hughes is better than Deep Purple.

    The Battle Rages On!

  • Thanks for the translation of the newspaper headline,
    supermanza. I appreciate your answer.......

    But I still can't figure out the photograph of the 2 men with knives.
    Are they trying to kill each other??????
    Or is it some kind of really dangerous martial arts contest?????

  • You're welcome, Grace! :thumbup:

    As for the rest I don't know. You'd better ask someone who lives in Russia and has probably read the newspaper, or at least knows what this is all about.

    Maybe in the inner pages there is some material about Glenn, who knows? :confused:

  • As I know, Glenn's tour is pretty good. Our people likes him.
    Some local newspapers write bullshit about mark III reunion. Furthermore they think that Paice and Lord join Glenn during tour.

    As for newspaper's title in Glenn's hands it was an article about our army. It is a very bad place now, privates fight with each other very often. They do it with knifes and Kalashnikovs. Awful thing. That's why our youth do not want to be at army.

    The Battle Rages On!

  • Thanks for answering my extra question, "Battle."
    Too bad that your answer was so terrible.

    Soldiers of "Rodina" should open up a history book,
    and read what patriotic Russians did when the Grand Armee
    de la Republique invaded in 1812.

    And the defense of Leningrad, and the victory of Stalingrad,
    during the Great Patriotic War, in my opinion, is unmatched
    for bravery and courage against overwhelming odds.

    And these 2 idiots in the picture, are fighting each other?
    You're right to be disgusted at this insult to Russia's heritage.

    I may be an American of Italian heritage,
    but Russian history has fascinated me for years.............

  • Unfortunately, our youth refuse it's own history. Our government don't care about anything and as a result we have personal violence in Army, decline in living standards, low birth rate and in fact no future at all.

    The Battle Rages On!

  • You've faced "The Time of Troubles" Napoleon, Hitler, and communism.............
    .............have a little faith that Holy Mother Russia will come through.

    Millions of people around the world wish your country
    a future of peace and prosperity. Take care, Battle.

  • Sorry everyone... Not so much time for internet ! I have tried logging into that blog, but by some odd reason I couldn't! Anyways... I promise to write more later. During the tour I haven't got a chance just to sit and write down all I have to say on the topic, due to some personal reasons. I promise I will do my best soon tho. Ok let me just say that the Moscow show was a revelation.

    Off for Kiev!
