If you had to choose the headline act to close the 40th anniversary of the Montreux Jazz Festival, who would you choose? Well, Deep Purple of course, and if you don’t know why, well, you don’t know your classic rock very well.
Founded in 1967, the Montreux Jazz Festival has established itself as one of the most prestigious annual music events in the world. The extraordinary list of artists who have played there is drawn from across the musical spectrum and from around the world.
For the first time ever you can watch the concerts on DVD.

The Ice Cream Man spent almost a week in Vancouver wandering quite a bit (by foot, train, bike) and slang over a thousand free ice creams at the first Virgin Festival in Vancouver. The weather wasn’t too cooperative the first day but things cleared up on the second day and we were able to give away quite a few treats backstage before pulling out in front of the the stadium to give away ice creams in our custom White Stripes boxes (pick up Icky Thump on 6/19).
For the full review from Virgin Festival - Vancouver, click HERE. Todd Duym got some great panoramic and film shots and newcomers Toby Armitt and Adrian O’brein came through with tons of shots of My Chemical Romance, Metric, AFI, Billy Talent, Hot Hot Heat, Smoosh, Mute Math, Pride Tiger, and many many more.
