Deep Purple: Black Night Live Performance at NEC, Birmingham

Venue: NEC Location: Birmingham, AL, United Kingdom Date: November 30, 2001

In November 2001, Deep Purple delivered an electrifying performance of 'Black Night' at the NEC in Birmingham, just after the release of their album 'Abandon' in 1998. While 'Abandon' marked a strong point in their ever-evolving sound, this live recording encapsulates the band's classic rock roots, showcasing their dynamic energy and Ian Gillan's signature vocals. Each note pulsates with the essence of a band that has long weathered the storms of rock and roll, embodying their enduring legacy. Interestingly, this concert is part of their extensive touring history, celebrating their 30-plus years in the industry. In fact, 'Black Night' itself, first released in 1970, has become a staple in their repertoire, reflecting how their classic tracks still resonate deeply with fans old and new.
