  In 2006, during the live recording at the Montreux Casino, Deep Purple was promoting their album "Rapture of the Deep," which was released the previous year. This album marked a significant moment in the band's evolution, being their first studio release without founding member Jon Lord, who had retired. The live performance featured a mix of original material and classic hits, demonstrating the band's enduring appeal and adaptability in their sound, incorporating elements of hard rock with progressive influences. Additionally, the Montreux Casino holds historical significance for Deep Purple, as it was the inspiration for their iconic song "Smoke on the Water" after a fire incident in 1971. The Montreux venue has since become a symbol of the band's legacy, drawing fans for its association with Deep Purple's rich history in rock music.
