Deep Purple

In September 1985, Deep Purple was riding high on the resurgence of their career, following the release of their album 'Perfect Strangers' in 1984. This live performance in Paris at the Palais Omnisports showcased the band's classic lineup, featuring Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore, who were pivotal in defining Deep Purple's signature sound. It’s interesting to note that 'Perfect Strangers' marked their first studio album in over a decade, and it revitalized their reputation among fans and critics alike. This concert not only captured the raw energy of their live shows but also highlighted the band's ability to blend hard rock with intricately woven musical passages, especially evident in the 'Lazy' segment. This performance, part of the band's ongoing evolution, cemented their legacy as rock icons.
