Michael Nahimovich & VIA ПЕНЬКИ perform Wasted Sunsets live in Nikol'skoe, Russia

Venue: Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts Location: Hartford, Connecticut, United States Date: June 8, 2011

In June 2011, the live performance of 'Wasted Sunsets' captures a compelling moment in Deep Purple's rich history. At this time, the band was riding high after releasing 'Now What?!' in 2013, which was well-received and showcased their continued evolution. Interestingly, 'Wasted Sunsets' itself originally appeared on the 1987 album 'The House of Blue Light', reflective of the band's ability to blend deep rock roots with poignant lyrics. This performance at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts highlighted not just nostalgia for longtime fans, but also the energy of their evolving sound. It’s fascinating to see how the band, especially under the leadership of Ian Gillan, has been able to rejuvenate their classic tracks for new audiences while still resonating with their hard-core fan base.
