Deep Purple Live with Orchestra - Performance of Highway Star at Arena Di Verona

Venue: Arena di Verona Location: Verona, Veneto, Italy Date: July 18, 2011

In July 2011, Deep Purple delivered a stunning performance at the historic Arena di Verona, showcasing their classic hit 'Highway Star.' This concert came just a few years after the release of their studio album 'Rapture of the Deep' in 2005 and prior to their subsequent album, 'Now What?!' in 2013. 'Rapture of the Deep' marked a significant moment in the band's journey, as it was their first album with the guitarist Steve Morse fully established in the lineup. The live show was not just a testament to their relentless energy but also highlighted their unique collaboration with an orchestra, which added a rich, symphonic depth to their iconic sound. Deep Purple's blend of hard rock and orchestral elements in this performance created a captivating experience, illustrating the band's versatility and enduring appeal, even decades after their formation.
