Deep Purple

In December 1984, Deep Purple was riding high on the wave of their reunion with the classic lineup featuring Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, Ian Paice, and Ritchie Blackmore, which sparked a renewed creativity in the band. The live recording of "Under The Gun" from the album *Perfect Strangers* captures this electrifying moment in their career. The album, released just before the live performance in 1984, marked a significant comeback after a decade of lineup changes and hiatuses. Interestingly, *Perfect Strangers* became a commercial success, showcasing the band’s hard rock prowess with modern production values. This vibrant period included a world tour where fans were treated to a mix of timeless classics and new material, making every performance a special event. The Sydney show exemplified their dynamic energy and musical chemistry, reminding everyone why Deep Purple is hailed as a rock phenomenon.
