Deep Purple

In the late 1980s, Deep Purple was riding the wave of their resurgence, marked by the album "The House of Blue Light," released in 1987. By the time of this live recording in Copenhagen on September 27, 1988, the band was deep into their tour, showcasing not only classic hits but also fresh material that reflected their evolving sound. Interestingly, this era brought back some original members, and the blend of old and new tracks in their setlist marked a significant moment in their career. Their live performances were known for energetic displays and camaraderie, and you could really feel that vibe in Valbyhallen. The concert encapsulates a turning point where the band embraced the heavy metal keyboard-driven style, which became a defining characteristic of their sound. As the years rolled on, this live show would be remembered as a testament to Deep Purple’s resilience and enduring appeal.
