Deep Purple

In November 1975, Deep Purple showcased their electrifying live performance at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, a moment that captured the band during a dynamic phase of their career. Just a couple of months prior, they had released the iconic album 'Burn', marking the debut of new vocalist David Coverdale and bassist Glenn Hughes, which brought fresh energy to the band's sound. This era is often tied to the birth of hard rock and heavy metal, with 'Burn' featuring classic tracks that became staples in their setlists, like the title track and 'Might Just Take Your Life'. Interestingly, the record highlighted a shift in their musical direction, leaning toward a more powerful and soulful sound, a transition that clearly resonated in the live setlist from this concert—fans could hear the raw intensity of a band in their prime.
