Deep Purple

In March 2002, Deep Purple showcased their enduring legacy with a live performance at the Cosmos Sport Palace in Belgorod, Russia. This concert came just after the release of their studio album 'Bananas' in 2003, which marked a successful return to the rock scene, bringing the band together in a celebrated lineup featuring legendary members like Ian Gillan and Steve Morse. The live rendition of 'Fools' from their self-titled debut album demonstrates the band's ability to blend classic rock with newer material, a testament to their evolution over the years. Notably, 'Bananas' was produced by Michael Bradford and featured a more modern sound, while still holding true to Deep Purple's iconic hard rock roots. Performing in Belgium, they showcased not just their musical prowess but also their experience, illustrating how even years into their career, the band's energy and passion for live performance remained vibrant.
