Deep Purple

In May 1975, when Deep Purple performed in London, they were in a transitional phase marked by significant changes within the band. This period followed the release of their album "Burn," which came out in February 1974 and was notable for introducing vocalist David Coverdale and bassist Glenn Hughes into the lineup after the departure of Ian Gillan and Roger Glover. The band's sound evolved during this time, blending hard rock with elements of soul and funk, particularly evident in tracks like "Might Just Take Your Life." During the tours following "Burn," Deep Purple continued to gain international recognition and were known for their energetic live performances, as highlighted in the live recording referenced. Additionally, the band's dedication to the road led to the release of "Made in Europe," capturing the intensity of their concerts. At this point, Deep Purple was solidifying their reputation as one of the premier live rock acts of the 1970s.
