Deep Purple

In July 2011, Deep Purple took the stage at the Auditorium Stravinski in Montreux, Switzerland, to deliver a powerhouse performance backed by an orchestra, showcasing their groundbreaking blend of rock and classical music. This concert came just after the release of their studio album 'Now What?!', which had dropped earlier that same year. 'Now What?!' marked a triumphant return to form, featuring tracks that echoed the band's classic sound while exploring new musical territory. The live performance of 'Black Night', a staple of their repertoire, resonated with fans who have cherished this anthem since its original release in 1970. Playing at Montreux, a site steeped in musical history, added a layer of significance, considering their connection to the Montreux Casino fire in 1971 that inspired 'Smoke on the Water'. The 2011 concert not only highlighted their enduring legacy but also reaffirmed their status as rock legends.
