Deep Purple

In 2018, Deep Purple was riding high on the success of their latest album, 'inFinite,' which came out a year earlier. This album was a return to their classic hard rock roots, sparking both nostalgia and excitement among fans. By July 14, during their concert at the Grand Hall Parc Expo in Tours, France, they were well into their 'The Long Goodbye' tour, a fitting title as it signaled their intent to step back from extensive touring after a prolific career. It’s interesting to note that this particular show, part of the American Tours Festival, showcased their trademark blend of powerful guitar riffs and orchestral melody, exemplifying how they’ve evolved but stayed true to their musical essence. The band, formed in 1968, has a rich legacy that continues to captivate audiences, and seeing them live in 2018 was a powerful reminder of their enduring influence in rock history.
