DEEP PURPLE

Scandinavian Tour 8th-11th Dec 1973 Schedule

The following three pages are copies of the actual tour-package that International Concert Organisation A/S laid out for Deep Purple and their organisation in december 1973 and they are interesting for Deep Purple fans to see since they show exactly what the first few days of Deep Purple MK 3 on the road looked like. "Burn" was in the pipeline but still not released, and the band kicked off the world tour with a short Scandinavian trek. Seen here is also the december 8 concert that was cancelled due to bad weather (which meant that the equipment didnīt make it to the gig on time) and also the december 10 recording session that resulted in the b-side "Coronarias Redig". The band played their first show in the KB Hallen on december 9. The magazine above is my old DEEP PURPLE FOREVER publication (issue 30) and that consisted of classic press releases and the like (including these pages) from the MK 3 period of Deep Purple. This page was put up as a compliment to this interview with David Coverdale, that you can read on my Atlantis Online site. MIKE ERIKSSON (august 2005).
