Longevity: it's truly amazing Deep Purple are still on stage in full force 45 years later at the same place where Smoke on Water was written and recorded
Photos from the concert of Deep Purple, Montreux, 2016-07-16. A great example of vitality and longevity: it's truly amazing Deep Purple are still on stage in full force 45 years later at the same place where Smoke on Water was written and recorded (1971 in Montreux). Smoke On The Water lyrics - Deep Purple: We all came out to Montreux On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile We didn't have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky Smoke on the water https://www.facebook.com/iangillanofficial/posts/1249494038407833 Drummer Ian Paice has recovered from the TIA he had in June 2016.
