Deep Purple

In the live recording of "Mary Long" from November 30, 2001, Deep Purple showcases their enduring legacy and musical prowess as they perform in Florida. This concert was part of their "Perihelion" DVD, highlighting the band's dynamic energy and powerful sound during the early 2000s. Just before this performance, they released the studio album "Abandon" in 1998, which marked a new era for the band following personnel changes. With Steve Morse on guitar, the lineup brought fresh vibes while honoring their classic roots. Interestingly, their ability to blend hard rock with orchestral elements was a defining characteristic of this time, steering Deep Purple's sound in innovative directions while still thrilling long-time fans. It's incredible how their music continues to resonate across generations, isn't it?
