Deep Purple

In April 2004, Deep Purple took to the stage in Beijing, showcasing their iconic sound in a country where Western rock was gaining significant traction. Leading up to this live recording, they had just released their album 'Bananas' in 2003, which marked a resurgence in their creativity and was well-received globally. At the time, the band was enjoying a revitalized energy, featuring classic hits like 'Woman from Tokyo' alongside fresh tracks. Interestingly, this performance came during a phase of renewed interest in their music, especially in Asia, where they were regarded as pioneers of hard rock. This concert wasn't just a celebration of their lengthy career—it also highlighted the band's ongoing evolution and dedication to their craft, resonating with fans both old and new.
