Joe Lynn Turner performs Highway Star live at Свобода Hall, Екатеринбург
In May 2025, during a lively performance at Свобода Hall in Екатеринбург, Joe Lynn Turner, known for his powerful vocals, took to the stage to belt out 'Highway Star,' a classic from Deep Purple's revered catalog. Before this particular live recording, Deep Purple had released 'inFinite' in 2017, and it's fascinating to note that the band's evolution has seen different lineups and styles over the years. Notably, this performance comes after a rejuvenation phase for the band, showcasing a blend of nostalgia and modern flair. Ironically, 'Highway Star' itself is one of those tracks that has stood the test of time, highlighting the band's knack for merging progressive rock with heavy metal. As Turner revisits this fan-favorite, it's a reminder of Deep Purple's enduring legacy and the way they continue to influence generations, even when new artists take the helm.
