Deep Purple Live in Sochi - Performance including Highway Star and Montagues And Capulets

Venue: Aquapark Mayak Location: Sochi, Krasnodarskiy Kray, Russia Date: September 18, 2009

In September 2009, Deep Purple was riding the wave of their extensive legacy, having released their studio album 'Rapture of the Deep' just a couple of years prior in 2005. This live performance, captured at Aquapark Mayak in Sochi, showcases the band’s incredible energy and timeless classics like 'Highway Star' and 'Smoke on the Water.' Fun fact: By 2009, Deep Purple had solidified their status as one of the pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal, famously avoiding periods of decline that many bands experience. Interestingly, their longevity can be attributed to not only their remarkable musical craftsmanship but also their willingness to adapt their sound and lineup over the decades. This concert is a testament to their enduring appeal and ability to connect with fans across generations.
