Celebrating Deep Purple's Machine Head 

Jon Lord said that when he hears Jimmy Barnes sing, he gets 'goose bumps on his goose bumps'. Also Jimmy was asked to audition for Purple back 1989 but declined due to his solo career obligations with his record company.

Happy birthday Ritchie, best wishes from Mexico!!!

In the Spring of 1972, as a 16 year old, I discovered Deep Purple through Machine Head. My favorite track right from the start was "Lazy". I had never heard anything like that!!! Regardless of the fame of "Smoke On The Water" from "Made In Japan", "Lazy" is still my most favorite DP song. After that, "Child In Time."

Without Purple Passages, In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, made in Japan and Burn, high school would have been boring.

Deep Purpe.... My favorite..... I am 62.... ❤

Ritchie Blackmore is the world's greatest rock talent.

I’m 72 and grew with this music which is real music. It got it’s roots from the blues. 🎸

The textbook for all hard rock albums, Machine Head is. I don't know how many times I've heard the songs of it. Thanks, Ritchie and other Deep Purple members!

Chickenfoot's "Highway Star" is just spectacular, a classic in its own right 🙂 (i soooo like their dual-howl at the beginning 😀 )

Deep Purple’s music is required playing if you want to rock.

LONG LIVE RITCHIE .THE BEST

My first album. Got it for Christmas by request. I was 11. Still one of my favorites.

DP is rock band with the most skilled musicians at their field. Drummer, keyboardist, Vocalist and ofcourse guitar god blackmore. In the musical instrument skills, DP is uncomparable.

BLACKMORE ‼️

Highway Star by Chickenfoot is absolutely killer !

Michael Anthony, doing that scream on the beginning of Highway star is just unbelievable. He’s got some vocal range, that’s why I never understood why Van Halen got rid of him. He was a lot of vocals in Van Halen. But I guess they had their reasons.

The Greatest Band Ever!

I’m still flabbergasted at Satch pulling off Lords organ solo on guitar

Great point by Joe about the delicacy and artistry on the Machine Head record and .....it Rocks

С Днём рождения, Великий и Замечательный Ричи! Спасибо за Вашу музыку!

Море благодарности ! океан любви выдающемуся рок-мелодисту, грандиозному композитору-исполнителю, виртуозному гитаристу, божественному Ричи ! Великолепно сыграл с оркестром. Возмужал, окреп, окрылённый вдохновением устремился к вершинам рока чудеса творить уникальной пятёркой. Фантастическим талантом, небесной силой превратил группу в идеал классического рока. С первого раза его музыка входит в душу, в сердце и остаётся навечно. Она пробуждает воображение, у восхищённого оригиналом рождаются импровизации, и даже появляются мелодии для собственных слов. Поразительное, сверхъестественное влияние маэстро, и для музыкантов, которые с ним работали, это незабываемое время, они всегда готовы снова встать рядом с солнечным Ричи. Ещё и не мечтаю - а Ричи уже играет мои мечтания. Это же волшебство ! Чародей. Великий и могучий творец завораживающих произведений - моей музыки. Любить Ричи, слушать его прелестные творения - наслаждение, счастье, радость, это быть в бесконечном творческом процессе, опять стать молодым, задорным, плодовитым, не близнецом, но чуточку на Блэкмора похожим, зеркальным, третьим отражением. Живи и будь здоров, твори и радуйся, родной, любимый Ричи !

This is amazing.... Ritchie Blackmore John Lord Ian Gillan Ian Paice Roger Glover David Coverdale Glenn Hughes Tommy Bolin Don Airey Steve Morse Simon McBride and via R. B. Rainbow Ronnie James Dio Cozy Powel Jimmy Bain Tony Carey David Stone Bob Daisley Graham Bonnet Joe Lynn Turner Bobby Randinelli Doogie White David Rosenthal etc...

I was 12 years old. Machine Head was and is the Mount Rushmore of rock music. Child In Time live mad in Japan has the best live guitar solo ever. 1976 Germay, Frankfurt-Höchst Jahrhunderthalle. Supporting act to Rainbow: AC/DC believe it or not (with Bon Scott). Rainbow granted them a clean good sound. Ticket price 8 Euros to todays currency!!!!!! AC/DC gave them a hard time, but both bands were outstanding. Unbelievable.

We all know without this seminal album, rock music as we understand it might have gone a much different direction. Thank you all for showing us the path to righteous redemption. Long Live Rock N Roll!

Depppp purple eee la mejor del mundo mi banda favorita ❤

Thank you🙏🙏🙏 Mr Blackmore for all songs who gave as all this years....thank you for your masterpiece music🎶🎶🎶......

Such a beautiful & influential album, Machine Head... Happy anniversary!! 😎👍💜 Deep Purple, and specifically Jon Lord, very early on (around '73 or '74, so still in my pre-teens...) did set my feet on the right path in what I wanted my organ to sound like - together with Pink Floyd's Rick Wright, I should add. RIP Jon & Rick... 🙏 Took a few decades, but I do have (AND can play) a proper Hammond B3 organ & Leslie - modded myself to do Jon Lord proud! Been involved in a few DP / Rainbow tributes over the years, obviously, but my main focus is creating something new when I can.

Ritchie we were waiting for you...where the hell were you for the tribute of this Masterpiece?

We love Deep Purple we love Ritchie Blackmore

Super. Dziękuję

Thank for for this! It's great to see iconic heavy metal bands refer to Deep Purple as their baseline for what real music is. Deep Purple- mkII of course, has been exactly that for me. The depth, and artistry from each musician and instrument hasn't been seen since.

Lars' statement in the beginning is basically an admission that he can't hang with Ian Paice, which is nothing to be ashamed of. Paice is one of the most underrated drummers in rock IMHO.

Happy birthday and happy anniversary. Greeting from fareast Indonesia

I got an original pressing of Deep Purple's Machine Head from 1972....The jacket is split open but the plastic outer jacket cover holds it together... The inner sleeve is no longer white but a piss yellow colour and the original Lyric poster is still intact.... But the great thing is the album itself is in near perfect condition.... I love this album and I LOVE DEEP PURPLE MARK II.....

Amo Deep Purple, é uma das minhas bandas preferidas. Ainda bem que tive a oportunidade de ver essa grande banda no Monsters of Rock 2023.

I have original Machine Head vinyl but when I heard it about this 50th Anniversary super deluxe box I couldn't help myself, I need to order it and last week I have it.

First album I ever bought!!!!

3:25 Chad Smith. Yes... the drumming on Maybe I'm a Leo... Impossible to guess next fill. Glenn never played that song ever before.

Machine Head. Rock history was written by this one. Richie Blackmore's leadership after Gillian's on Fireball. Result is the best hard rock album ever recorded.

The new 2024 remix is AMAZING! Thank you for that!

Pictures of home is truly interesting!!

Happy Birthday, Maestro!!

Wow this is going to be fun ❤

Had that on a eight track and played all the time ,wish I still had that right track for sentimental reasons

Cool!

D.P for ever...

Awesome Jimmy Barnes

❤❤❤❤

Mr Blackmore..I heard you once expressed a desire to write a book on the occult? I hope you do one day....how cool would that be? I'd love to have a Ritchie Blackmore book of the Occult on my shelves with all my classic occult books.

Funky Claude was the guy who puts together the Montreux Jazz Festival and invited Purple there

I like Never before cover.

👍🤘

Ez a cd is megvan a Deep Purple együttestől. 👍

Jimmy Barnes doing Lazy. Love it.

0:45 - 50th anniversary dope...

it was music made from the soul, they had a balls mate

19:43 "We all came out to Montereau" (FYI: Montereau is a town 80 km from Paris, and 450 km from Montreux in Switzerland)

About ‘delicacy’… Ritchie said in interviews that he act-lays very lightly. Which is true. Compare his picking to, say, Steve Morse. Morse hits the string like a jackhammer. Thing is that it does not result in more sound. Rather, it loses nuance. The other thing Satch mentioned is the distortion and other stuff that folks imagine is in the music. Reality is Blackmore’s sound was quite clean. Yeah he did occasionally use effects, but he was not using fuzz or distortion. He was boosting the input on the amps.

😎

My opinion: it's THE most under rated rock album ever. It gave us the most influential rock song of all time, (Smoke on the Water) and the greatest Purple song ever, (Highway Star). I gotta say though; as great as the players paying tribute on this project are, listening to their analog of 'Lazy', the riff just doesn't quite have the same swing as Blackmore on the six string.

Funky Claude is Claude Nobs

4:10 Klasszikus, No. 1.Deep Purple csak egy volt, őket lehet utánozni, de soha, de soha nem lesz senki olyan, mint a Gillan, Blackmore, Lord, Space, Glover felállású Deep Purple. Ez megismételhetetlen. Ilyen nem volt és nem is lesz soha. Ők királyok 👑 voltak a hard rock zenében.

Ричи, хочу чтобы тебе исполнилось 80 лет! Ричи, не смей умирать!🤘🤘🤘

To let Jimmy Barnes near deep purple is criminal

😮❤😅

Did anyone die in the fire of that Zappa gig?

1972 - 2024. 50th Aniversary? I don't get it.

Deep purple great they taught everyone else eggs and water from farmers daughter

This video is 12 years old...lol

Even Joe can't play Lazy right :-)

I'm a Deep Purple fans since about 1974. Somehow I never like Machine Head much. That's because I've bought Made in Japan first. Anything that came after that was a bit disappointing...

😅

I could deal with most of it, but, really, The Flaming Lips doing Smoke????? They couldn't get anyone better for it???? And usually, I do not like these types of albums. The Flaming Lips doing Smoke is equal to country singer Lori Morgan doing Freebird. To me.... blasphemy.

Sorry folks they were all trying too hard.Filling all the holes with guitar noodling.Leave this music alone IMO.

again these disguisting metallica mcdonalds metal faces

I stopped watching when i seen hughes on the screen 👎

Glen Hughes is starting to look like Yoko Ono
