Deep Purple

In 1997, just before their memorable live performance in Moscow, Deep Purple had released the studio album 'Abandon.' This album showcased a blend of classic rock sounds infused with fresh energy, reflecting the band’s evolving dynamics. Interestingly, 'Abandon' marked a return to their raw rock roots, after several years of experimenting with different styles. The Moscow concert in November 1997 is particularly noteworthy because it highlighted the band's enduring power on stage, with the legendary Jon Lord delivering a stunning rendition of 'Lazy.' This performance was not only a testament to the group’s longevity and talent but also showcased their ability to connect with fans across the globe, even after decades in the industry.
