Deep Purple

In March 2002, Deep Purple delivered an electrifying performance in Belgorod, Russia, showcasing their classic track "Speed King". This live recording came shortly after the release of their studio album "Abandon" in 1998 and just before the album "Bananas" in 2003. It’s a pivotal time for the band, marked by a resurgence in their energy and creativity after the 1990s. Notably, the lineup included the legendary Ian Gillan and Steve Morse, who both played crucial roles in revitalizing the band's sound. The concert not only highlighted their hard-hitting rock roots but also their ability to connect with international audiences, illustrating their lasting impact on the music scene. Fans often regard this era as a golden age, where Deep Purple creatively blended classic rock with fresh energy.
