24th Annual Mushroom Mardi Gras Festival - Morgan Hill, CA - Saturday, May 24th, 2003
Russ Birtola, Mike Rose (Wishbox) and GLENN
WOW - what can you say....
GLENN blew everyone away with the
VOICE!!
From the moment he stepped on stage and belted out
Burn and
Mistreated he had the crowd under his spell....then to top things off, a thunderous rendition of my personal favorite,
Stormbringer. To close his short set....he wowed everyone with yet another awe inspiring version of
Whiter Shade Of Pale.
Later he came on to lead the final band encore in the ever popular
Smoke On The Water - the crowd were soaking up every vocal minute that
GLENN was able to provide.
In attendance were lots of
Hughes/Thrall,
Trapeze and
Purple era fans....most of which hadn't seen him live since the 80's and even earlier! We even ran into
rick, a fellow Fan Forum member, plus said "Hi" to quite a few others who we hadn't met before.
With a longer setlist promised for our next visit with Big Daddy in Brookdale, CA - it made for a great day and upon our return home,
Songs In The Key Of Rock, was sitting in our mail box

You can't ask for much more, plus it's a 3-day weekend, so you know what I'll be listening too
