Deep Purple

In May 1985, Deep Purple delivered an electrifying performance of 'Space Truckin'' at the Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu. This live recording falls shortly after the release of their album 'Perfect Strangers' (1984), which marked a significant comeback for the band after a decade-long hiatus. 'Perfect Strangers' revived the classic Deep Purple sound, and the tour supported this resurgence, showcasing the return of iconic members like Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore. Interestingly, this era displayed a fresh dynamic within the band, as they worked to merge their classic rock flair with a more contemporary sound, appealing to both old fans and new. This performance captures the raw energy and chemistry of the band, reminding us why they remain influential in the rock world.
