Deep Purple

In February 1996, Deep Purple delivered an electrifying performance in Uppsala, Sweden, at The Fyrshov, showcasing their musical prowess during a pivotal time in their career. This live recording followed the release of their studio album, "Purpendicular," which had dropped just a year earlier, marking a revitalization for the band after years of lineup changes and evolving musical styles. Interesting fact: "Purpendicular" was the first album featuring guitarist Steve Morse, who brought a fresh edge to their sound, ultimately helping the band secure their legacy in the rock scene. The energy in this live set highlights how Deep Purple was not just still standing, but thriving, with a mix of classic hits and new tracks that resonated with both loyal fans and new listeners alike.
