Purple Rising

Purple Rising delivers a masterful, virtuoso rendition of Deep Purple’s music, in true ’70s style: Passionate improvisations and wild duels between guitarist Reik Muhs and keyboardist Andreas König—who has previously shared the stage with Deep Purple legend Jon Lord—often push songs like “Child in Time” and “Space Truckin’” past the 20-minute mark. With apparent ease, the charismatic, powerful-voiced frontman masters the balancing act between all the Deep Purple vocalists. Just like the original in 1970, every concert becomes a unique experience.
