Deep Purple

In 2007, Deep Purple was riding high on a wave of nostalgia while still showcasing their enduring rock prowess. Just before the live recording of 'Hush' at Palasport, the band released 'Rapture of the Deep' in 2005, an album that marked their continued relevance in the rock scene despite their decades-long career. This concert, captured in Pordenone, Italy, highlights their ability to energize classic hits alongside newer material. Interestingly, 'Hush' was actually one of Deep Purple’s earliest hits, originally released in 1968. To hear it performed live in 2007 is a testament to the band's timeless appeal, reminding fans that even after years of evolving music tastes, their sound still resonates. Plus, the band's lineup during this period included legendary members like Ian Gillan and Steve Morse, bringing both history and innovation to their performances—proof that some bands only get better with time.
