Question 728

On 4 December 1971 X had set up camp in Y, Switzerland to record an album using a mobile recording studio at the entertainment complex that was part of the Y casino. On the eve of the recording session a Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention concert was held in the casino's theatre. The place suddenly caught fire when somebody in the audience fired a flare gun into the rattan covered ceiling. The resulting fire destroyed the entire casino complex, along with all the Mothers' equipment. What did this inspire? Identify X and Y.
Answer: Deep Purple(X) were inspired to write the song Smoke On The Water which starts with the line "We all came out to Montreux(Y)".
