Deep Purple

In March 1999, Deep Purple performed a thrilling live set at Via Funchal in São Paulo, Brazil, showcasing their enduring legacy in rock music. This concert came on the heels of their 1996 album 'Purpendicular', which marked a rejuvenation for the band, reintroducing them to a new generation of fans and featuring the energetic track 'Ted the Mechanic' prominently in this set. It was also during this period that the band embraced a more modern sound, while still holding onto their iconic Deep Purple essence. Interestingly, this performance was part of a tour that celebrated their extensive catalog, and you can feel the crowd's palpable excitement as they engage with classic hits like 'Strange Kind of Woman' and 'Pictures of Home'. Years after their formation, the band's ability to perform with such vigor proves that they truly are rock legends, even in the late '90s.
