Deep Purple with Kansas and Jefferson Starship at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre
You were twelve when your dad handed you a pair of headphones and said listen to this. The organ riff from “Highway Star” came in like something had caught fire inside the speakers, and for about four minutes you understood why he still wore that faded tour shirt to mow the lawn.
Deep Purple is bringing that sound — the one that invented heavy metal, invented the organ-guitar duel, invented the idea that a rock band could play with the ferocity of a symphony and the discipline of a jazz combo — to the amphitheatre in Chula Vista. Kansas opens, which means you’re getting “Carry On Wayward Son” under the September sky before the headliners take the stage. Jefferson Starship rounds out the lineup.
Three bands. Three eras of American and British rock. One Tuesday night where you can hear the lineage played live by the people who wrote it. Ian Gillan at 81 still screams like he means it, and the band has been touring continuously since 1968.
