Deep Purple

In November 1998, Deep Purple delivered a memorable performance in Perth, Australia, during the TOTAL ABANDON AUSTRALIA '99 tour, which made waves with its stellar lineup including the legendary Jon Lord. Before this live recording, the band released the album "Abandon" in 1998, which showcased their trademark hard rock sound and included tracks like "Any Fool Know's That". This period marked a significant moment in Deep Purple's career, as they were re-establishing themselves with a modern vibe while staying true to their classic roots. It was a time of revitalization, as their line-up had solidified with Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Steve Morse, Don Airey, and Jon Lord, blending both new and nostalgic energy. The live rendition of "Perfect Strangers" is a testament to their enduring appeal, capturing the spirit of a band that has thrived through decades of rock history.
