Deep Purple

In August 1969, Deep Purple delivered an electrifying performance of "Wring That Neck" at the Jazz Bilzen Festival in Belgium, just before the release of their iconic album, "Deep Purple in Rock." This album, which came out later that year, marked a significant transformation for the band, moving towards a heavier sound that would define their legacy. It was a pivotal moment, showcasing their evolution from psychedelic rock to hard rock and making waves in the music scene. During this energetic live set, the band showcased their instrumental prowess, with legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore leading the charge. Fun fact: this era also highlighted their unique blend of classical influences and rock, paving the way for classics like "Smoke on the Water" later on.
