Deep Purple's 'The Mule' - Ian Paice Solo Performance Live at Zenith Paris
On November 13, 2012, Deep Purple performed at Le Zénith in Paris, showcasing their classic blend of rock and progressive sounds. This concert featured a standout solo by drummer Ian Paice during the track "The Mule." By this time, the band had just released their studio album "Now What?!" in April 2013. This album marked a significant chapter in their career, being the first since their reunion with longtime producer Bob Ezrin, who brought a fresh yet nostalgic feel to their sound. Interestingly, despite being a band formed in the late 1960s, they continued to evolve their music, reflecting their enduring legacy. The performance in Paris embodied their remarkable ability to create emotionally resonant live music, proving they still had the magic that captivated audiences decades earlier.
