Deep Purple

In December 2003, Deep Purple delivered a thrilling live performance of their iconic hit "Smoke on the Water" in Belgrade, Serbia, before an electrifying crowd of 20,000 fans. This concert took place right after the band released their studio album "Bananas" in 2003, which marked a reinvigorated era for Deep Purple, showcasing their enduring rock legacy. Interesting bit: the band's live rendition of "Smoke on the Water" continues to resonate with audiences, a testament to its timeless quality, despite being originally recorded in the early '70s. By this time, Deep Purple was enjoying a resurgence, proving that even decades into their career, they could still captivate audiences with performances filled with energy and nostalgia. The 2003 concert not only celebrated their legacy but also reminded fans of the band's innovative spirit that continues to inspire rock music.
