Deep Purple

In 2005, Deep Purple was riding high on their resurgence as rock legends, coming off their 2003 album "Bananas," which was well-received and showcased their classic hard rock sound. The live performance of "Space Truckin'" at the Festival des Vieilles Charrues in Heraklion captured the band at a vibrant stage in their career. Not just a nostalgic nod to their early days, this recording exemplifies their enduring energy and musical evolution.
