Few bands are more closely associated with Montreux than Deep Purple and there was simply no other contender when it came to choosing the act to headline the closing night of the 40th Montreux Festival in 2006. The band duly delivered one of their finest live performances, sprinkling songs from their latest album RAPTURE OF THE DEEP through a set chock full of their classic tracks including, of course, a show-stopper performance of "Smoke on the Water". This CD is being released simultaneously with the 2 DVD of the same title.
