Deep Purple

In July 2000, Deep Purple delivered a stunning performance at the Montreux Casino, and this live recording captures them in electrifying form. At this stage in their career, the band had just released their studio album 'Abandon' in 1998, which showcased their relentless spirit and adaptability, blending classic rock with more contemporary sounds. Interestingly, the Montreux Jazz Festival holds a unique place in Deep Purple's history; they famously recorded 'Smoke on the Water' there back in 1971, which became one of their biggest hits. Fast forward to 2000, the lineup boasts legends like Ian Gillan and Steve Morse, making this performance not only a treat for fans but also a significant moment in their long legacy. This remastered full HD version brings new life to their classic tracks, making it a must-watch for any rock aficionado.
