Smoke on the water Having evolved in 1968, Deep Purple has become one of the great rock acts of all time. 30 years later, and with 130 million album sales, Deep Purple continues to deliver their brand of sophisticated rock’n’roll. With the musical landscape changing in the late 80’s and early 90’s, the band continued to play to huge audiences around the world.

The Indian press gave the band extensive and unparalleled coverage, with many reviews claming it to be the best rock show ever staged in India.
