Deep Purple Live in Paris 1975 - Full Concert Performance at Palais des Sports
In April 1975, during a pivotal moment in Deep Purple's evolution, the band performed live at the Palais des Sports in Paris. This concert marked the last hurrah for the Mark III lineup, featuring the legendary Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. Just before this famed performance, they had released the studio album "Burn" in 1974, which was a significant turning point—introducing David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, who brought a fresh dynamic to the band. Remarkably, the Paris show captured the raw energy and chemistry of a group at the peak of their power but also on the brink of immense change. Shortly after this gig, Blackmore would leave to form Rainbow, leaving fans to wonder what might have been if that lineup had stayed intact. This performance is not just a concert; it's a snapshot of a transformative time in rock history and Deep Purple's legacy.
