  In 1971, Deep Purple was on the cusp of significant success, especially with their album "In Rock," released earlier that year in June. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, showcasing their heavy metal sound and introducing the lineup known as Mark II, which included the iconic vocals of Ian Gillan and the virtuosity of guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. The live performance of "Demon's Eye" captured in Berlin during a television special exemplifies the band's intense energy and musical prowess during this dynamic period. At this time, they were rapidly gaining popularity across Europe, and "In Rock" played a crucial role in defining the hard rock genre. Interestingly, this era also led to a greater focus on live performances that showcased their improvisational skills, setting the stage for future live albums that would further solidify their legacy in rock history.
