The Rapture of the Deep tour was a worldwide concert tour by British hard rock band Deep Purple. It took place in support of their 2005 studio album ''Rapture of the Deep''. It is supposed to be one of the most successful and long-lasting tours the band has ever done. In 2007, it was voted #6 tour of the year by listeners of the Planet Rock radio station.〔(Of The Year )〕 ==Overview== In 2005, Deep Purple released the Rapture of the Deep studio album which enjoyed a modest success, especially in Europe where it charted Top 20 in several countries. In support of their new studio album, Deep Purple embarked in a world tour during which they covered five continents and played in more than 50 countries.〔(Deep Purple Tour, CD, DVD & Book Reviews )〕 They did over 28 legs in Europe, UK, North America, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia, playing almost 500 shows in six years.〔http://deeppurpleliveindex.com/〕 Venue sizes varied from big concert halls to the world's largest arenas and stadiums. During the tour, Deep Purple headlined several of the world's biggest festivals, including: *Monsters of Rock at Milton Keynes Bowl (UK) (40,000 attended), *Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland) (80,000 attended), *Fête de l'Humanité (France) (100,000 attended), *Sweden Rock Festival (Sweden) (50,000 attended), *Monsters of Rock (Spain) (30,000 attended), *Cosquin Rock (Argentina) (100,000 attended), *Rock Over The Volga (Russia) (200,000 attended), the biggest crowd in Deep Purple history together with rock music festival California Jam of 1974. Although some fans called the 2010 leg simply "World Tour" (since at that time only one song from ''Rapture Of The Deep'' – the title track – remained in the set list), Don Airey, the band's keyboardist, said it's still the Rapture of the Deep tour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rapture of the Deep tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
