Deep Purple Live Performance of Highway Star at Sydney Entertainment Center

Venue: Sydney Entertainment Centre Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Date: December 13, 1984

In December 1984, Deep Purple was in the midst of their 'Perfect Strangers' era, following the band's reunion with the classic lineup. Their album 'Perfect Strangers,' released that same year, marked a significant return, showcasing a refreshingly modern sound while staying true to their hard rock roots. This live recording from the Sydney Entertainment Centre captures the excitement of a band rediscovering its magic, performing for passionate fans in Australia. Fun fact: the concert coincided with the band's revitalization; not only did they expand their global reach, but they also solidified their legacy during this iconic tour. Interestingly, 'Highway Star' is a fan favorite that adds an electrifying touch to the performance, illustrating the band's enduring ability to captivate audiences, even after years of evolution.
