Deep Purple have released the video below, stating: "From the Vault: This restored video was filmed on September 3, 2005 at Polo Express, Düsseldorf, Germany. It was recorded for the TV promotion of the studio album, Rapture Of The Deep. The title track was played live nearly every night during this tour and it became a solid presence in the band's repertoire for many years to come (right up to today). This live version hasn't been released on any Deep Purple CD or Video. We hope you enjoy it!"
Deep Purple previously released the restored live video for "Demon's Eye". Watch below
