Taped opening classical piece was Prokofiev’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ I seem to remember. Emerson, Lake and Palmer recorded this on their ‘Black Moon’ album.
Don Airey also played a snatch of Boeremusiek at each of the 3 concerts before the national anthem, which also drew roars of recognition & approval. In Jhb & Cpt they played a bit of “Going Down” before Paicey led them into “Hush”. In Dbn it was the Booker T & MG’s “Green Onions” (if I’m not mistaken).
Aah, yes, ‘Going Down’ … had forgotten that I had heard that … a Don Nix song that Deep Purple used as an encore in 1975 / 1976
Highway Star and Smoke on the Water in Cape Town:
I just do NOT believe that they will not play CHILD IN TIME tomorrow in Portugal!
I would pay a ticket just for that song!
