Deep purple live at the olympia 96


Live at the Olympia '96 is a live double album by British hard rock band Deep Purple. It was recorded at the Olympia in Paris on 17 June 1996 during the Purpendicular tour and released in 1997.

Contents

Initial copies of the release have a round sticker on the front of the CD jewel-case, stating 'Official Bootleg'. Whether this was because the band had some issues with the sound-quality is unclear.

One of only three Deep Purple live albums to feature a performance of "Maybe I'm a Leo", the other being Deep Purple in Concert and Live at Montreux 2011.
