You might recall that the Rolling Stones Mobile truck has found a permanent home at the Canadian National Music Centre in Calgary. Deep Purple were in town on August 31, 2026, and Ian Gillan paid a visit to the old chap. His story of recording Smoke is by now so thoroughly rehearsed that it has earned a permanent home of itself in his spoken-word repertoire.

The NMC has posted a reel of his visit on Instagram.
