Deep Purple made a stop at the Mahaffey Theatre in St Petersburg Florida, on Saturday, Feb 12, 2022. It was a full house and the room was full of energy. The crowd was a mixture of young and older fans that waited with excitement for Deep Purple to hit the stage.  The band opened with Highway Star and followed that with Pictures of Home and Strange Kind of Woman. Other songs from the night were Perfect Strangers, Smoke on the Water and the Encore was Caught in the Act and Hush.
