Deep Purple Live in Sheffield at City Hall Performing Burn and More
In 1974, Deep Purple was riding high on the success of their iconic album 'Burn,' which had been released just a few months earlier in February of that year. This live recording from Sheffield City Hall captures the band during their 'Burn' tour, showcasing the powerful new lineup featuring David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes. Fans were treated to the exhilarating synergy of classic tracks like 'Burn' and others that would become staples in their live set. Interestingly, 'Burn' marked a significant shift for the band, as it was their first studio album after the departure of original lead singer Ian Gillan and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. This era solidified Deep Purple's reputation as pioneers in the hard rock genre, blending heavy riffs with stunning vocal harmonies, truly evident in their high-energy performance captured in this video.
