In 1996 the celebrated British rock band Deep Purple (at that time with Jon Lord on keyboard) conquered the stage of the famous Montreux Jazz Festivals - a place with which the band is forever connected through their hit "Smoke On The Water will be. "Live At Montreux 1996" shows the band in top form, with Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, Steve Morse and Ian Paice in the cast. Together, Deep Purple wows their fans with a series of their classics such as "Fireball," "Woman From Tokyo" and "Smoke On The Water." This CD and DVD edition also contains rousing Bonus material from their return to the festival in 2000.
