Deep Purple Deep Purple/Finland 11.17.1993

This release features the highest quality audience recordings from Ritchie’s final performance with Purple, the November 17th performance in Helsinki, Finland, from the 1993 Euro Tour, with the addition of a rare stereo soundboard recording. This was Ritchie’s final performance on his final tour, which took place in July of that year after the release of “Purple Crusade.” After this performance, Ritchie suddenly left the band, and Joe Satriani joined the band at the Japan tour the following month, a story that remains storied to this day. While some recordings have been available, this release, released for the first time, offers undoubtedly the best sound quality and balance. It also includes two additional live takes from the leaked stereo soundboard, totaling 2 hours and 18 minutes, a must-listen for fans.
