A clip of Smoke, from Dortmund. Unfortunately I think it sounds like IG really struggles even with that one..

Re: Dortmund


I was there. And Ian struggled a lot on smoke indeed, and on Hush and Black Night too, but until then he was fine, really !

Given the double bill they had to limit the playing to 90 minutes, but they didn't change the setlist, just slightly shortned the guitar and keybord solos, and dropped the drum solo. Appart from that a great gig, great to see Wrong Man back, a Fireball, which was played too. But I think the highlight was Wring That Neck, extended since last year with guitar/keyboard interactions. all in all a very enjoyable evening.

And the correct setlist was :
- Highway star
- Things I never said
- Wrong man
- Strange kind of woman
- Rapture of the deep
- Fireball
- Contact lost / Sometimes i feel like screaming
- Well dressed guitar
- Wring that neck
- The battle rages on
- Don Airey Solo / Perfect strangers
- Space truckin´
- Smoke on the water
Encores
- Hush
- Black night

And 7 tracks post reunion and 8 pre reunion. Quite balanced.

Re: Dortmund


Balanced but unfortunately boring as, except for Wring That Neck and The Battle Rages On they have been performing the rest of the tracks for at least last 4 years.
