Deep Purple

On April 24, 1987, Deep Purple performed a dynamic live set at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, bringing together the classic hard rock vibe that had defined much of their career. This show came shortly after the release of their 'The House of Blue Light' album, which hit the shelves in 1987. This was a significant era for the band, marked by a resurgence in popularity after the reformation of their classic lineup in the mid-1980s. Interestingly, the album features tracks like 'Call of the Wild' and 'Bad Attitude,' which showcased their signature sound while incorporating more modern elements. Notably, this live recording captures their raw energy, as the band's chemistry was back at an all-time high, digging into their legendary catalog while celebrating their current work. Fans often regard this period as a bridge between their early hits and the evolving hard rock scene.
