Hovet is an icestadium in Stockholm, laying just beside The Globe Arena. In the 80's me and friends visited it often to watch conserts with hardrockbands popular at the time.

Opening act was Graveyard, a swedish band playing 70's style psycho hardrock. Their image is a little too much 70's since they have the hair and clothes that was popular in those days. It doesn't feel...real. Their 30 minutes was okey, they rocked away and the more mellower parts in the music is needed so that it doens't get to messy. This was the 2nd time I saw them live.

Then it was time for Deep Purple with a symphony orchestra. I saw them live in 2005 or something at the Swedenr Rock Festival and it was among the best conserts I have witnessed. The orchestra made the music more powerful and heavy and they played most of the well known DP-songs you could want to hear. Unfortunately Ian Gillan's voice is not as good as it has been and I suppose that is why they did not play Child in time. There was a little too much soloplaying by Don Airey on the keyboards but the other solos suited well into the set. Although I don't get why drumsolos have to be so boring... The solo by a saxplayer from the orchestra was fun and also the violin-guitarduell. Steve Morse, guitars and Roger Glover was in a good mood and Ian Paice on the drums did his job. The concert lasted for over two hours and was worth the money!
