Deep Purple

In 1997, Deep Purple was riding a wave of revival thanks to their remarkable 'Perfect Strangers' album, which had reignited their signature hard rock sound. Released in 1984, it was their first studio album after reuniting with the iconic Mark II lineup. Fast forward to the live recording on March 20, 1997, at the Olympia in São Paulo, and fans were treated to a powerful display of their classic hits, featuring the powerhouse vocals of Ian Gillan and the electric guitar work of Steve Morse, who had joined the band just a few years prior. Morse's presence marked a new chapter for Deep Purple, blending classic rock with fresh energy. Did you know that this live performance was part of the tour promoting their album 'The Purpendicular'? It's fascinating how this legendary band continues to evolve and captivate audiences decades after their inception!
