Deep Purple

In June 1985, Deep Purple delivered a thrilling performance of "Black Night" at Isstadion in Malmö, Sweden. This concert occurred during a pivotal moment in their career, following the release of their album "Perfect Strangers" in 1984, which marked a major reunion of the classic lineup featuring Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice. The album was a commercial success, reestablishing the band as a significant force in the rock scene after years of lineup changes and shifts in style. Interestingly, the song "Black Night"—a staple of their live shows—was originally released way back in 1970, showcasing how the band's legacy transcended generations even by the mid-'80s. Their 1985 performance exuded energy, encapsulating both nostalgia and the vibrant spirit of their music, which continued to draw passionate fans all over the world.
