Deep Purple

In August 1998, Deep Purple delivered a powerful performance at the Meadows Music Theater in Hartford, just as their lineup was solidifying in the late '90s. This concert came shortly after the release of their album 'Abandon' in 1998, showcasing the band's iconic rock sound blended with new material. The album marked a resurgence for the band, featuring influences from both classic rock and fresh songwriting approaches. What’s particularly interesting about this concert is that 'Live In Hartford' highlights the energetic chemistry between the band members, especially with legendary guitarist Steve Morse, who had joined the group in 1994. Their ability to still captivate audiences decades after their formation in the late '60s is a testament to their enduring legacy in rock music. Fans of the band often cherish this show for its fiery renditions of classics and deep cuts alike.
