Right now I can think of:

http://https://tinyurl.com/yy8qgdtk

- Yes / Every Little Thing.

- DT / A Change Of Seasons:
The Big Medley:
Floyd, Kansas, Queen, Dregs, etc. plus 3 more good covers of Zeppelin, Elton John and Purple. (IMO!)

- ELP / Pictures At An Exhibition.

- Ars Nova / Tarkus.

- Rush / Feedback:
“The record features eight covers of songs (blues & hard rock) that were influential for the band members during the 1960s.”

Regards.

Mark I Deep Purple was more a cover band than anything else. Their rendition of Kentucky Woman launched Neil Diamond into fame.

Neil Diamond was already famous both as a songwriter (most notably for the Monkees) and as a recording artist in his own right (1966 Top Ten hit "Cherry Cherry") well before Deep Purple covered him.

[Finch Platte]
