Deep Purple

In November 1975, Deep Purple delivered a captivating performance at Festival Hall in Melbourne, Australia, during a pivotal moment in their career. Exactly a year prior, they had released 'Come Taste the Band' (1975), which marked a significant departure as it was the first album featuring vocalist David Coverdale and bassist Glen Hughes, steering the band's sound toward a more funk-infused rock. This live concert showcases the band's incredible energy and musical evolution, transitioning from classic hard rock to more experimental sounds. Interestingly, this would also be one of the last major performances before Deep Purple entered a hiatus in 1976, underscoring the importance of this recording as a snapshot of their dynamic presence at that time.
