Deep Purple Live in Bangkok 2010 Performing Highway Star at ThunderDome
In 2010, when Deep Purple rocked the Thunder Dome in Bangkok with their iconic track 'Highway Star', they were riding high on a wave of resurgence. This live performance came just a couple of years after their studio album 'Rapture of the Deep' was released in 2005, which marked a significant moment for the band as it was their first album with the lineup of Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Steve Morse, Don Airey, and Ian Paice since 2002. The band's ability to blend hard rock with classical influences was evident in their dynamic live shows, showcasing not just their musical prowess but also their enduring appeal. Interestingly, Deep Purple's legacy is often marked by the impact they had on the heavy metal genre, and this performance serves as a testament to their long-standing influence in the rock world, even decades after their initial rise to fame.
