This recording captures the performance at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, UK, on October 11, 2022, during Deep Purple's "Whoosh!" European Tour. It features Simon McBride, who joined the band following the shocking departure of guitarist Steve Morse. The tour served to promote their 21st studio album, *Whoosh!*; the setlist includes two tracks from the new album alongside a mix of classic and recent hits, resulting in a highly entertaining show that clearly conveys the band's high level of motivation. While there may be moments where Simon's guitar work feels slightly different—much like when Steve first joined the band—he delivers a superb performance that leaves no room for concern. It is a performance that heralds the beginning of a new chapter in Deep Purple's history. Regarding sound quality, this is an audience recording of excellent caliber; it offers a stable, high-quality listening experience with a great sense of immediacy and atmosphere.
