As you all know Deep Purple is and have always been a great live act. They can
shift the setlist from night to another. So what I have tried to do is to write down
what a normal setlist would look like (and what is normal, each night is very special).
But this have not been an easy task and there might be a few things which is not
correct. So if you find something which is not correct, please let me know and we
make this list better. Thanks in advance. benny99@telia.com
