Too Deep

Lebanon might be busy trying to cope with real smoke on the water and fire in the sky, but that's not deterring Deep Purple from vowing to go ahead with their scheduled concert in Beirut next week:

Currently in the midst of a two-year-long world tour for the album "Rapture of the Deep" -- including a performance scheduled for Thursday, July 28, just outside of Beirut for the Baalbeck Music Festival, Deep Purple does not plan on disappointing Lebanese fans.

Here's a suggested playlist:

--Fireball
--Nasty Piece of Work
--The Battle Rages On
--Smoke on the Water
--Burn
--Fire in the Basement
--Dead or Alive
--Freedom

Deep Purple is a band that truly believes that music is a universal language and their fans are a huge part of their success. "There is a moment that begins on stage,when there are no managers, no journalists, no outside distractions -- just the band and the audience," said Ian Gillan, of Deep Purple.

Just the band, the audience, and the spectacular Israeli-supplied pyrotechnics show.
