Recorded in Melbourne, Australia in 1984, Perfect Strangers live is the only full-length concert film of the band at this time. The long-awaited reunion of the classic Deep Purple lineup Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice, who reunited for the first time since 1973, had recorded a brand new studio album Perfect Strangers, and subsequently headed out on tour. The setlist mixes then new tracks from the Perfect Strangers album with favorites from the early seventies: 'Highway Star', 'Strange Kind Of Woman', 'Perfect Strangers', 'Knocking At Your Back Door', 'Child In Time', 'Black Night', 'Speed King', 'Smoke On The Water', and many more, which are brilliantly performed as only Deep Purple can deliver.
Deep Purple is a musical force with a rich history, having boasted a wealth of incredible musicians and memorable eras. Perfect Strangers Live is a welcome addition to Eagle Rock’s extensive Deep Purple collection.
