Deep Purple

In July 2011, during a high-energy performance at the Auditorium Stravinski in Montreux, Deep Purple treated fans to a mesmerizing rendition of "Strange Kind of Woman." This performance came after their 2005 album, "Rapture of the Deep," which marked a significant return to their classic hard rock sound. The live recording, part of the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival, showcases the band's dynamic prowess and deep connection with their audience. Interestingly, this was the first time Deep Purple performed at the Montreux venue since the infamous 1971 fire incident that inspired the iconic "Smoke on the Water." By embracing both their rich history and evolving sound, Deep Purple's 2011 concert highlighted their status as rock royalty, proving that they continue to captivate generations of fans.
