Deep Purple

In February 1991, Deep Purple took to the stage at Budapest Sportcsarnok, delivering a memorable performance of 'Lazy' with Ritchie Blackmore showcasing his legendary guitar prowess. This live recording came shortly after the release of their album 'Slaves and Masters' in 1990, which marked a significant chapter in their career, highlighting a lineup shift with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals. It's fascinating to note that 'Slaves and Masters' was a pivotal record, as it blended classic Deep Purple elements with a fresh sound, reflecting both their rich heritage and their willingness to evolve. The concert in Hungary was a part of their tour promoting this particular album, capturing the band at a crucial moment as they balanced their legacy while embracing a new direction. The energy of Blackmore's performance, especially in this context, underscores the enduring spirit of Deep Purple, still thriving in the hard rock genre.
