Deep Purple

In June 1985, during the band's tour in support of their comeback album "Perfect Strangers," Deep Purple performed a memorable concert in Paris, which is showcased in the live recording. This period marked a significant resurgence for the band, as "Perfect Strangers," released in late 1984, was their first studio album with the classic lineup since 1973. The success of this album helped to reinvigorate Deep Purple’s popularity, leading to extensive touring. The live setlist from the Paris show reflects the band’s iconic status, featuring fan favorites like "Highway Star" and "Smoke on the Water," alongside tracks from the new album such as "Perfect Strangers" and "Under the Gun." The 1985 tour was characterized by high energy performances and marked a pivotal moment in Deep Purple's history as they re-established their presence in the rock music scene after years of lineup changes and hiatus.
