Deep Purple - Highway Star Live 1984 HD 

My first thought too

Yes...he learned it from Keith Emerson!

​@@gunvaldmkilli9131lol Jon is better.

@@gunvaldmkilli9131 No, he didn't. Emerson ran his Hammond through Leslies, while Lord used a Marshall stack, hence the big difference.

@@NigelTufnel612 I understand the big difference in just that,but it wasn`t the way it was amplified or something like that i meant,it was how he treated that poor L 100 organ,throw it around so the reverb spring smashed together and he got feedback on it.....I haven`t seen anybody doing that before Emerson did it in The Nice!(I have a L100 myself but i am kind to it!)

@@gunvaldmkilli9131 fair point - they were both unique and pioneering in the way they created new tones.

good to see but i am partial to a bit of ian!!!

that was the basically the best moment of the video....both are fantastic, too bad they all couldn't get along...

Early in the reunion. Saw them 3 times in '84 and they were all enjoying themselves for the most part. Saw them twice in '85 and you could see a lot of that joy disappearing.

It was most definitely before Ritchie was talking to yoko cause it was actually her that broke up dp

Just listen to what is coming out from the pair of them, bloody awesome

Alongside the japanese one...

De acuerdo contigo en todo excepto en la última frase... Son y serán una leyenda

After the concert they'll start punching one another

+justmadeit2 Priceless!

+Martin Kristiansen True though eh. I mean Blackmores known for being on the serious/introspective side, and to actually smile at someone he doesnt get on with like Ian, is as rare as haleys comet :) in 1984 though, they were together again recently reformed and in good spirits no doubt

Totally agree because it's hard to see his smile...!!!!

Ritchie was satisfied here because Gillan's voice was great at this concert. But after, some times in 1985 and on, his voice was terrible. This annoyed Blackmore because he knew that Ian just wanted to party and not take proper care of his throat.

So true. People tend to blame Ritchie, and Gillan always comes across well - i.e. smart and urbane - in interviews. But he's an idiot not to take care of his instrument (and remember his lyrics). I had the experience in a cover band where we found out the singer could sing really high, and we did the Police's Walking on the Moon; It sounded great in rehearsal. Then at the gig, the singer sounded like crap, and it was embarrassing to have to play the song to its conclusion. The singer later admitted he had gone out drinking the night before. Why??? Don't you get enough of a charge out of being able to sing that well in front of people. Still pisses me off, years later.

I think this happens only on stage where they can actually challenge each other

Amen to that, 1266 ..

Can someone explain why this is 'rare ' ?

@@roumpinismortis354 The relationship between Ian and Ritchy has always been strained for multiple reasons. They don't really like each other, so them smiling at each other is quite rare.

Could you tell some reasons if you know?

Ian Paice, maior baterista da história do rock!!

sure.

A banda inteira só tem lendas

very underrated drummer.

@@lr882027 , главное, что мы его ценим!

on which planet? mars? because on earth everybody knows DP and most drummers know IP and rathe them quite high

ass kicker... he's the best

Agreed. He makes it looks so simple...and half the time he isn't even looking at his fingers-it just comes right out of his soul. Amazing!!

so true I even said that some women would like have such hands and fingers playing on their bodies... 😊 great art!

quite right, a pleasure to look at, watch that amazing ability...

Ritchie's fretting hand moves live water

oui Ritchie dans toute sa folie ......

And glover!

The centerpiece 🎩🎩

Ian paice put his feeling on his every notes.. He's not depend on sound except the drum tone. Not like bonham..bonham depend on his drum mix 100% but he played as common as many good drummers. The sound made him looked great. Ian paice still the men.

One of the best of all time! Pun intended 🤣

Paice is like a metronome, flawless time while playing at breakneck speed.

+User58747 Yeah! Love it!

+User58747 Ritchie was virtuoso, genious, but totaly out of control. I understand why Ian had to find other guitarist.

+Knen Da Ian Gillan could be unprofessional (forgetting lyrics) and distinctly patchy with his performances, that would piss me off too.

User58747 and

He smiles at GILLAN!!! Incredible! ;-)

bagas herawan And specially this live version just look and ritchie and ian omg

Not the original lineup it's the Mk ii lineup

THE BEST LINEUP OF DEEP PURPLE, RIGHT HERE!!! M.O'B

I am a politheist, you see. Blackmore is one of the gods in my pantheon :}

Agree.

And very knowledgeable about music. The same could be said for everyone in the Mk II line-up but an interview with Ritchie Blackmore is usually an education about music.

Apparently you’ve never heard of Jimi Hendrix

@James Hodson what??

john bonham

@@eldd1294 There both great drummers, they just have different styles.

he's good but not a patch on Neil Peart ( sadly departed now )

@@graantmnz Yes, I am fully aware that Pert died, I never said that Ian Paice is.another Bonham, Baker, Pert etc.. that does not take away from the fact Ian Paice is a great drummer.

He sounded great on Born Again and the Sabbath tour.

Sounds almost as good as Made in Japan here. Problem is after a few shows he would lose it.

The comments are largely about the rocking horse poo that is Ritchie smiling on camera. That is a rare sight indeed.

John Bonham

@@gsxrsuzuki33 IMHO... I was and still a beast on the drums. John was good , Ian could outplay him .

@@bak-mariterry9143 "best" is so subjective.. too many

Bruh don't talk shit. You are subscribed to sssniperwolf. Just by that I can tell you are 15 years old

@@Tooom28 believe what you want to believe mate. You seem like a stalker looking at shit like what I subscribe to. And I'm not your Bruh, so just fuck right off.

too sloppy

Kevin Francisco lets see you play like him then buddy

Agreed. He's a genius... But very sloppyhere

@@cwheremonster8870 the solo was a bit off still a fan though

@@kevinfrancisco3224 Ritchie is the antithesis of sloppy! You hear every single note and it isn't overdriven to hell with stacks of processors like the guitarists that came after rely on.

Funny you should say that. Listening back to DP I have the same admiration for the rock solid base they had....

Согласен

I didn't notice, until now, RB was using "scalloped neck"...intresting

Yeah!

kneelandpray2 c VC

I think he plays sloppy because he can't hear what the fuck he's doing above Lord's Hammond :D Blackmore's a good guitarist. I always thought he was similar to Jimmy Page a little bit. Sloppy but wicked tone and passion.

Unfortunately, in the 80s he apparently drank a lot))) And his guitar playing is not as good like in "Made in Japan" for example. But the passion and tone is incredible! I completely agree with you!

@ibuprofen303 similar to Paige? I think there is world of difference between them two… Blackmore is one of the greatest ever to play guitar, Paige is not

@@coloritos5 Blackmore's good, but a very very far way from being one of the greatest. Not by a long shot.

@@ibuprofen303 what are you guys on about, both are influential af and some of the greatest

😅 You said well "was" ritchie has become a shadow of himself now.... Can't be heard😅

Hoje só restou a velhice.

Anjohl they hated each other tho

@@gonzadiazsola ritchie was quite happy with gillan on this tour, at least in the beginning.

perfectionist? he was barely hanging on through the last half of the solo. now i understand this is live and he is influential but i can't understand why everybody sucks up to whatever he is doing. this here is definitely not a good example of the traits that i usually hear about blackmore. it wasn't perfect, far from it and it's quite obvious. that being said, everybody else was playing absolutely great here and that alone carried his solo in this case. if you'd solo blackmore's channel and listen to him without anything else, you'd be surprised

@@gonzadiazsola It’s generally agreed that Ritchie hated everybody, though

Одна дама написала, что Блэкмор это гитарный понос, очень грязно звучит гитара, ещё и Ситковецкого туда присоединила, я подумал ну если уж не они умеют играть на гитаре то обозначь пжлст, кто может? Ну понятно, Гилмора не зацепила, Мвльмстина может быть, Пейджа и ещё многих, там Хендрикса и др.....? Ребята, кто выросли на этих вещах, ну как то обозначьте своё мнение, спасибо всем! Удачи вам.

Ehh, this was pretty sloppy, great, but definitely sloppy

@@blairdrummond5043 ??

Blackmore loses it,and Gillan screams him back in line!!!

@@blairdrummond5043 I'm glad someone else noticed that too'

@@blairdrummond5043 yeah, this was sloppy as hell. at one point before Ian helps him he almost completely lost it and was barely hanging on through most of the solo. also the tone is really not that good. dry as hell, scratchy and thin. it sounds really really bad at some points. now maybe this was a bad night for him so i won't judge him by this. i just wouldn't call this "clean and clear" lol

Ritchie is being sarcastic with Gillan at that moment. I believe Gillan interrupting solos actually annoyed Ritchie. Fans love to hear those solos and Gillan actually interrupts that at times, so possibly viewed as rude, one of the many things they don't get along over. Ritchie Blackmore has said numerous times, music is a serious thing for him... and he has always gotten aggrevated if something was going wrong with the show whether it be the soundboard, or cameras blocking fans view or something backstage etc.. It seems to suck the motivation out of him and he'd just get pissed and figure "fuck it" Being honest, I do think Gillan is a big instigator but I've heard in the days that Ritchie could be a real asshole too, so they just knew how to push each others buttons. But Gillan would do it while on stage which was no place for it, when people have paid to see them. The moment Gillan would realize something he was doing annoyed Blackmore, he'd push it. Their smiles to one another on stage were mostly not friendly... more like "oh yeh you prick?" Being in that band must have been like walking on eggshells to be honest... at some point the $$$ isn't worth it

This live version sounds better than the recording. Incredible band.

@@grigorirasputin9507 For the most part I think you're right. They both admit now that they pushed each others buttons but to me it looked like in this case they were having fun with this. Gillan looks at Ritchie and he nods yes and Ian starts singing along and that looks like a real smile from Ritchie and when he really speeds it up he is looking at Ian like come on keep up. I thought they were having fun with it.

@@hawki5120 I believe Ritchie never liked it much when he did this during his solos. He also HATED Ian's bongos. These two haven't had "fun" together since the early days. I could be wrong though, it's happened once before...

@@grigorirasputin9507 Yea things went down hill in a hurry between them and everything I remember and have since read you're probably right. It just looks to me like that was just a moment where they were having fun with it.
