Deep Purple

By August 2008, Deep Purple was well into their long and illustrious career, stepping into the 21st century with several lineup changes. Just prior to this live performance, they released the album 'Rapture of the Deep' in 2005, showcasing a blend of new material that echoed their classic hard rock roots while also experimenting with modern sounds. This performance features the iconic 'Smoke On The Water,' a song that remains a defining anthem for the band and classic rock itself. Interestingly, this live recording in Ystad features John Norum, known for his role in the band Europe, joining them on stage, which adds a unique twist. The energy of the crowd at the Öja Krog offers a glimpse into Deep Purple's enduring appeal and the way they continue to captivate audiences even decades after their initial rise to fame.
