Come Hell or High Water is a CD and DVD by the hard rock group Deep Purple. It was recorded on October 16, 1993 in "Hans-Martin-Schleyer-Halle" in Stuttgart, Germany and in Birmingham on November 9.

The album is one of the last to feature Ritchie Blackmore, as he quit after the concert on November 17, 1993 in Helsinki, Finland. He was replaced by Joe Satriani for the rest of the tour and later by Steve Morse. Therefore, the footage focuses mainly on Blackmore almost the entire concert.

The full concert versions of the Stuttgart and Birmingham shows were released in 2006 as a four CD box-set by Sony/BMG and they also released the two shows seperatly in 2007 but they quickly removed the album from the Birmingham show due to Ian Gillan's protest about it being re-released.

All songs written by Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice except where indicated.

2. "Black Night" - 5:40
3. "A Twist in the Tale" (Gillan, Blackmore, Glover) - 4:27
