In 1987, Deep Purple was riding a wave of renewed popularity with their 'Perfect Strangers' album, which had dropped just a year earlier. This live recording, captured at Hartford Civic Center on April 17, features the band showcasing their classic rock prowess and unforgettable stage presence. With tracks like 'Highway Star,' audiences could feel the electrifying energy that's synonymous with Deep Purple. Interestingly, this period marked the band's reunion with vocalist Ian Gillan, leading to a revitalized lineup that many fans had long awaited. The heart-pounding live performance is not just about the music; it's a testament to the band's enduring legacy and their ability to captivate audiences, even years after their initial rise in the late '60s and early '70s.
