Deep Purple

In 1995, when Deep Purple performed 'When a Blind Man Cries' live in Kattowitz, they were riding high on the wave of renewed success following their 1993 album, 'The Battle Rages On.' This album, featuring the powerful line-up of Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Steve Morse, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice, marked a significant moment in their enduring legacy. Interestingly, this era saw Deep Purple reconnecting with their roots while also embracing a modern sound that appealed to both old fans and new. The song 'When a Blind Man Cries,' originally from the 1972 'Machine Head' album, captures the essence of Deep Purple's blend of rock and emotional depth, showcasing Gillan's haunting vocals. Performing it live, especially years after its original release, highlighted their ability to resonate through generations, reminding us how timeless their music truly is.
