It happened on July 18, 2011, when Deep Purple entered the Arena di Verona, one of the most spectacular concert venues in Europe, through the same entrance once used by the gladiators. 'It was like being thrown to the lions,' jokes Don Airey, who fondly remembers that memorable evening. 'Live in Verona' is an extraordinary recording of the entire show, in which the hard rock veterans perform together with a full orchestra. The Neue Philharmonie, a 38-member orchestra from Frankfurt, accompanied them throughout the entire European Tour. Deep Purple immediately connected with the orchestra, leading to some unique and outstanding moments during the Tour, when the orchestral members surprised the band with original arrangements. 'This created an environment that we all equally enjoyed,' says Airey. Both ultimately came together and created an electrifying evening.
