Why it fits
Black Night answers We Take Care of Our Own by Bruce Springsteen with a related tension instead of a copycat move, so the sequence keeps opening out. The rock edge gives the turn a more precise contour than a plain mood match. Copperbelly can step in after it without the handoff feeling pre-chewed.
Track context
On Sounds Of The Seventies - Guitar Power (1992), Black Night shows Deep Purple working in a 1990s pocket with rock in the grain. The cut moves with a slow-burn glide, which is why it can hold this turn without flattening it.
