Deep Purple

In December 1984, Deep Purple was touring in support of their album 'Perfect Strangers,' which had just been released a year earlier. This album marked a significant comeback for the band, as it was their first studio album with the classic Mark II lineup in over a decade. The live recording at the Sydney Entertainment Centre captures the electric atmosphere of a band revitalized, showing that they still had the magic that first garnered them fame in the early '70s. The setlist included fan favorites like 'Highway Star' and 'Strange Kind of Woman,' showcasing their ability to blend hard rock with progressive elements. Interestingly, this particular recording features a dual camera setup, providing fans a dynamic view of the performance, allowing them to fully appreciate the synergy between band members as they reignited their signature sound.
