A day in history

City of Münster, Germany, publishes this historic photo.

Deep Purple in the window of city history

The Deep Purple concert on December 4, 1970 in the Halle Münsterland was completely sold out. Numerous disappointed fans without tickets then tried to storm the entrance to the hall. Only a massive police operation prevented them from entering. The photo shows the five band members, whose album “Deep Purple in Rock”, released in September, topped the charts in Germany for twelve weeks, with journalists before the concert. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore is holding his Fender Stratocaster in his hands.

The photograph can be viewed in large format in the window of the city museum on Salzstrasse from December 8.
