In the summer of 2018, Deep Purple delivered an electrifying performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival, a venue steeped in musical history. This concert marked a high point in their career, coming just after the release of their critically acclaimed studio album, "inFinite," which had dropped in April that same year.
