Deep Purple - Hush (TV, 1968) 

Rod Evans on vocals, Simper on bass. Cool to see Jon up front and center...and YES, Ritchie smiled!

Imagine trying to replicate the huge sound of Hush in these cramped conditions. Paice always killed it no matter where.

Ian Paice always has been a great drummer even from the early days.

My favorite Deep Purple song . Thanks for posting.

Even in this early version of DP it's clear that Ian Paice drove this band. His drum fills are crisp and spot on perfect.

even if by some miracle there was still a band of this talent nowadays, the audience would be sitting down, looking at their cell phones

Priceless video!! And you should hear them now. Top band!! Saw DP when they came to Canberra last year, I wouldn't have missed them for the world!!

The talent was evident in both Lord and Paice. Blackmore was still evolving back then. I don't know what happened with the bass player or singer but they were good enough.

Hard to imagine he was 71. Every time one of these guys dies from the old bands I get reminded just how old I AM..... sad.

First time watching this video i had a lot of fun, and amazed ! Great band !!!

Groovy. And nice wigs.

Pure talent in this band. Top caliber musicians, no gimmicks.

0:38 I love the way Jon says “success” He sounds so humble about the matter, he was so nice and polite ❤️

OMG so this is what a Playboy party at Hugh's mansion was like, love the dancing and Ritchie's expressions...Rod sure knows how to boogaloo haha!! Love it!

I loved this first Deep purple song not still hard rock, and still love it. It is a long time that I do not listen to it.

The once upon in Hollywood reference is awesome

I think the bass player's hair has a life of it's own. lol

Rod Evans super! and the song "Help" was also great.

Women looked so much better in the 60's

Ian Paice was on fire then.

Unbelievable piece of history.

Rod Evans Mark 1 DP - oh the possibilities.

2022 and still listening. 🎼🎶🎸

Amazing band. They make it look so easy.

I love the suppressed guitar riffs. I'm sure Blackmore was thinking: "I just want to break out. My day will come."

Как молоды мы были)))

Deep Purple уже тогда классика!

Jon Lord had such an incredible talent since the beginning of DP. His organ drives the whole song.

*1968* - I was at a BAR when I was 14 across the river of Brownsville watching a BAND playing past 3 a.m. imitating (real music though) Deep Purple on Stage... twisting and sliding on their backs, with lights, color effects and with HAIR they TOOK OFF; that looked like the ones the fellows were sporting back then.

No one will EVER been this cool again. Period.

Richie playing a Gibson !

R.I.P. John Lord!

The bass player has quite possibly the most ridiculous haircut ever

These girls are wonderful!! So beautiful!!

that 60 look so weird bet cool as hell!!!!

I want my Hair like Nick Simpers but me mrs won't let me. This clip is priceless !!! Love Deep Purple mark 1 better than the later incarnations :D

I think my dad had their album with song Hush on it. I use to play it a lot.

❤❤❤

Totally from the film ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD...PLAYED THIS OVER AND OVER WHEN I RETURNED TO MY HOMETOWN OF HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA...

Loaded with hot chicks who are all in their seventies now.....

So psychedelic !! Cool John!

RIP Jon Lord (dressed for success, ) Love the mod groups: Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, The Who, Marc Bolan, The Nazz, Bowie, must have been great era.

I would have wanted to be dancing with that woman all dressed in black appearing at 3:52 and 4:20.

Девчонки отжигают

Nice to see Nick Simper ! what a great guy he is! and plays that very same bass to this day.

That's some weird fucking hair, even for the 60's.

Where can I get a pair of those gold pants? lol

Wooooow what a glorious jewel 💎 and totally live, I almost cried with emotion 😭. Greetings from Venezuela 🇻🇪🖤🇻🇪

３番、映画の最後でブルース・リーがノラ・ミャオと結ばれる事なく、２人が階段で見つめあい、ブルース・リーが首軽く振り、別れる場面が思い出されます、ブルース・リーの映画で一番感動する場面です

Me encanta este tema de Deep Purple.Alegre y con ritmo.🙋🇪🇦

I think the singers name is Rod Evans?

Hush

Only song I heard 10 million times and I never got sick of it. Ritchie Blackmore even has his playing style rocking then 🤘🎸🤘

the women from that era... I wanna ... well u know... to em all!

Showww!!! The best

SUPER!

beautiful playboy bunnies

go go dancers fuck yes...

Yes, I listened to this song and I got this feeling, and today is April 2024, so I got this feeling that I had made a trip to the cave ages. The good news is that many are no longer with us, and there they are still young, and what awesome hairstyles, I remember I myself was a kid in the 70s, I also wore long hair, but I lived in the USSR and rock music as such there wasn’t, but there were tape recorders and we took out the recordings and listened, that was great. I can say a lot more about that era, but still I grew up on rock, and I love our time more, although if we put aside politics and the idiots of Western leaders, then music always remains in the first place in my life.

It's like watching Deep Purple at the Elks lodge

Paice is the man!! [2]

My first favorite song ! 💜

amazing footage. its clear the producers got the sound all wrong though.can hardly hear the hammond of lord or the guitar of blackmore

Helmet hair lol

*Increíble... DEEP PURPLE = dioses eternos del Hard Rock y del Heavy Metal*

Wonderful girls!

Ричи здесь ещё скромный, не то что на Калифорнии джем в 1974 году 😀

I want my Hair like Nick Simpers but me mrs won't let me. This clip is priceless !!! Love Deep Purple mark 1 better than the later incarnations :D

That was Hugh Hefner interviewing Jon at the beginning

Волосы ахринеть

God! I bet there was some shagging went on there later! haha. Great song and great band though!

Los número 1, insuperables.

Weird seeing Ritchie w/a Gibson ES355/335 rather than his trademark Fender Stratocaster. The neck looks dwarfed by his huge hands. Also interesting seeing Jon Lord sing...& playing the Hammond B3 sitting. Rod Evans was a good vocalist. Not as good as Ian or David (or Joe Lynn Turner) but okay. Nick Simper on bass? Ritchie was never a fan of. Can see why. Love the helmet hair. Darth Hairnet!

groovy.

I'm sorry I wasn't young enough to see him at this age but I saw them on the perfect strangers tour and it was definitely a top-3 show

Is that their real hair? Looks like they're wearing wigs. And when I first saw this I thought it was a SNL skit spoof or something. lol

These dudes had better hair than me.

4:18 omg....

There was not fat people back then.

Strangest haircuts I've seen..

Nick Sempers hair...... he should be guarding the palace with that headgear.... !

Paicey is the man!

1:01 he was way ahead with his 1970’s fashion

One of the first mentions of cunnilingus in a pop song. "I can't eat ya, and I can't sleep."

Yup those dance moves from the 60's....

Ritchie at the Playboy Mansion? l'd like to see his ego go up againt's Hef's.

There's enough hair there to fill an Olympic size pool.

They narrowly avoided getting sued by LEGO for hair style copyright ingfringement

¿Where is Rod Evans?

Oh my ......those black boufants.......Poor Purple mark 1, left by the wayside after this brief taste of Playboy sucksess. While Blackmore , Paice and Lord cleaned up.

Helmet hair, stretch pants, "shades", wide stripes, and puffy shirts. Great song.

great music and such beautiful girls at the mansion

looks like their having so much fun. wish i was there.

I've seen this hundreds of times and I only just noticed a girl sitting next to Ian Paice, behind Nick Simper😏

Ктож так Блэкмора напугал?

At 0:47 I guess that's Hugh Hefner, ca. 1968? (At first, I was wondering if it was Dick Clark, LOL) 😎

R. Blackmore the best 🌟👍 of the BEST 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

This is the total Deep Purple experience I'll ever need. This is my all time favorite hit from the late 1960s. When they fired Rod Evans they became a one hit wonder with me.

All those playboy bunnies must of been a gas.

Ive got hair like Rod evans, but one day I'll have Nick Simpers hair. Now thats a Barnet :)
