Deep Purple

In July 1996, Deep Purple delivered an electrifying performance of "Woman From Tokyo" at the iconic Montreux Casino, a venue famously linked to their history since the recording of "Smoke on the Water" in 1971. At this point in their career, Deep Purple had just released the album "Purpendicular" in 1996, which marked a significant comeback, showcasing a fresh, modern sound with a blend of classic rock elements. This performance highlights the band's enduring legacy and adaptability, incorporating new members like guitarist Steve Morse, who rejuvenated their signature sound. Interestingly, this live show was part of their long-standing relationship with Montreux, solidifying their place in rock history. The band's ability to captivate audiences decades after their formation is a testament to their musical prowess and the timeless appeal of their classic tracks.
