Deep Purple

In July 2011, Deep Purple delivered a stunning live performance at the historic Arena di Verona, showcasing their iconic hit 'Smoke On The Water.' Before this concert, the band released their album 'Now What?!' in 2013, which marked a significant return, capturing the essence of their classic sound while embracing new ideas. Interestingly, 'Smoke On The Water' itself originates from a 1972 incident at a casino in Montreux, where a fire broke out during a Frank Zappa show. The song has since become one of the most recognizable rock anthems. In 2011, the collaboration with an orchestra added a fresh dimension to their legendary track, proving Deep Purple's ability to evolve while still honoring their rich legacy. It was a moment that not only celebrated their past but also set the tone for their future artistic endeavors.
