Review

As a present to their fans, particularly the ones on the Internet, the band decided to put out another live album -- such live releases now tallying in double figures, unprecedented for any rock band. Unedited, undubbed and with a three-piece horn section blowing in on four tunes at the Olympia in Paris, Deep Purple are in their best habitat -- exhibiting raw power, free-for-all jamming and charging into the new numbers culled from Purpendicular. Reinvigorating the classics, namely "Smoke On the Water," "Speed King" and "Highway Star," the veterans still prove they can mess with the best on stage. ~ Glen Miller, All Music Guide

"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 June 17, 1996 during the Purpendicular tour and released in 1997.

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 two Deep Purple live albums to feature a performance of "Maybe I'm a Leo", the other being Deep Purple in Concert.
