Deep Purple - 'Black Night' (Live at Montreux 1996)
Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see dark light
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see dark light
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
Η "σχέση" των Deep Purple με την Ελβετική πόλη Μοντρέ (Montreux) κρατά από τις αρχές της δεκαετίας του εβδομήντα. Αποτελεί και την (στιχουργική) έμπνευση για το τραγούδι "Smoke on the Water". Στις 9 Ιουλίου του 1996 εμφανίσθηκαν στο "Jazz Festival" του Μοντρέ οι Deep Purple και η εμφάνισή τους ηχογραφήθηκε - φιλμογραφήθηκε.
Το αποτέλεσμα το είδαμε - ακούσαμε στον "ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένο δίσκο "Live at Montreux 1996" που κυκλοφόρησε δέκα χρόνια αργότερα, τον Μάιο του 2006. Στο setlist της συναυλίας βρίσκουμε και το κλασικό τους τραγούδι "Black Night". Το αξιοπερίεργο και το άκρως ενδιαφέρον είναι ότι το εν λόγω τραγούδι έγινε ένα από τα πλέον αναγνωρίσιμα των D.P. χωρίς να βρίσκεται σε κάποιον δίσκο τους. Κυκλοφόρησε ως single παράλληλα με το album (In Rock")...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Deep Purple need no introduction as one of the all-time great British rock bands. Their association with Montreux goes back to the early seventies when their attempt to record their album "Machine Head" at the Montreux Casino was thwarted when it promptly burnt down forcing them to make the album in the rooms and corridors of the Grand Hotel instead. The story was of course immortalised in their classic song "Smoke On The Water" which is the climax of this 1996 concert from the Montreux festival.»
