DEEP PURPLE Performs At Kremlin; Video Available
February 15, 2008UK hard rock legends DEEP PURPLE played a gig on February 11 in Moscow as a farewell gift to Dmitry Medvedev, the chairman of gas giant Gazprom and almost certainly Russia's next president.
The group performed at a show Gazprom put on at the Kremlin to mark the 15th anniversary of the firm's creation.
"This is simply surreal," Medvedev said on NTV television after the concert. "I started listening to DEEP PURPLE when I was 13. At that time their music was banned. I never would have imagined meeting the famous group in the Kremlin Palace."
Footage of the PURPLE classic "Smoke On The Water", filmed at the February 11 concert, can be viewed below.
