Deep Purple Live in Montreux at Stravinski Hall - Full Concert Performance

Venue: Auditorium Stravinski Location: Montreux, Vaud, Switzerland Date: July 4, 2004

In July 2004, Deep Purple showcased their legendary prowess in Montreux, Switzerland, performing at the prestigious Auditorium Stravinski. This concert came after their studio album 'Bananas,' which was released in 2003 – a record that marked their enduring legacy and showcased their evolving sound. By this time, the band had already solidified their status as rock icons, with a rich history dating back to the late '60s. The Montreux performance featured classic hits like 'Woman From Tokyo,' blending nostalgia with their robust musical energy. An interesting tidbit? This particular venue has a deep connection with the band, as it's famously linked to their 1972 classic 'Smoke on the Water' – a testament to their longstanding relationship with the Montreux Jazz Festival atmosphere. It's that blend of nostalgia and electrifying performances that captures the spirit of Deep Purple.
