Deep Purple Live Performance of Slaves And Masters from Budapest Sports Hall
In May 1991, during their 'Slaves and Masters' tour, Deep Purple delivered an electrifying performance in Budapest. This live recording came after the release of their album 'Slaves and Masters,' which was notable for introducing Joe Lynn Turner as the lead vocalist, stepping in to fill the shoes of the iconic Ian Gillan. This period marked an interesting evolution for the band, blending classic hard rock with fresh influences. Fans welcomed the shift, and it led to a unique dynamic between Turner and the legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. Fun fact: this was the only studio album featuring the Mark V lineup, making the live performance even more special, as it showcased a moment in time when Deep Purple was experimenting with new sounds while staying true to their rock roots.
