In late 1988, Deep Purple was riding high on the success of their album 'The House of Blue Light,' which was released earlier that year. This live recording at The Red Fox Inn showcases the band during a tour to promote the album, reflecting a fresh energy and a willingness to engage with their audience. Notably, this period marked a significant resurgence for Deep Purple, especially after their classic lineup reunited. The band's performance featured some staples like 'Smoke on the Water' and new material, blending nostalgia with fresh elements. After years of ups and downs, this live set at a small venue encapsulated the band's enduring appeal and adaptability in the evolving rock scene of the late '80s.
