On June 3, 2007 the ballpark was the site of a world record-setting performance of the Deep Purple hit "Smoke on the Water" by 1683 guitarists, in a publicity stunt for KYYS radio (now KZPT).
In the US, the Avenger was launched with a 30 second television ad, "Tuned Up," that debuted Sunday, March 4, 2007 during NHL hockey, an ad in which a lab technician discovers he can play Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple on the Avenger's transmission.
The stunt lasted until 3 PM the following Monday, when, after playing "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple, "Jack FM" returned to Denver, with "What I Like About You" by The Romantics being the first song played.
Both pressings contain a studio version of the Deep Purple classic "Smoke on the Water", recorded at Greene St. Recording in New York during The Privilege of Power sessions and featuring a special guest appearance by The New West Horns.

Panzerballett plays both original compositions by guitarist Zehrfeld and his creative arrangements of popular songs from rock ("Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple), to pop ("Ein Bisschen Frieden" by Nicole), to jazz ("Birdland" by Weather Report) to soundtrack (as the title theme The Simpsons).
At each gig, Gumball performed Cheap Trick's "Hello There" (made famous on Cheap Trick's live At Budokan album) and Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" (from their live Made in Japan release).
