Deep Purple Live in Bangkok performing Smoke On The Water

Venue: Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani Location: Bangkok, Thailand Date: May 14, 2010

In May 2010, Deep Purple delivered a captivating performance in Bangkok, marking a vibrant chapter in their storied career. Just prior to this live recording, the band had released 'Rapture of the Deep' in 2005, a work that showcased their continuing evolution while embracing classic rock roots. This live show was part of their worldwide tour, illustrating their resilience and undying passion for performing, even decades after forming in the late '60s. Fun fact: 'Smoke on the Water', arguably their most iconic song, was inspired by a fire incident at a Frank Zappa concert in Switzerland in 1971. Fast forward to 2010, and the audience in Thailand was treated to a powerful rendition, a testament to how the band continues to electrify fans across generations.
