Deep Purple - Machine Head 40th Anniversary Celebrations 2012 

Every time I hear Jon Lord talking I get sad. Fine guy, master musician.

THE GREATEST HARD ROCK ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!!

BRILLIANT JUST BRILLIANT! John Lord unforgettable

The best rockband of the world and the best vocal all of the time " Ian Gillan" forever!!!!

50 years of this masterpiece ! Released March 25, 1972 and my first album by Deep Purple and the one which lead me to all other great hard rock bands !

Mark 2 is probably the most talented band, everyone’s a master on their instrument

Fantastic documentary! I'm glad I had a chance to see Purple back in the day. There have been few bands since that could claim the pedigree of Deep Purple. It wasn't just hard rock, it was real music played by highly accomplished musicians. Show me a band, even from those days, that could boast that all 5 musicians were at the top of their respective positions. They were like one of the best Yankee teams ever...An All-Star at every position.

One of the greatest rock albums in music history (if not the best). Every song on this album is masterpiece and every musician in this band is incredible. IAN GILLAN - vocal RITCHIE BLACKMORE - lead guitar JON LORD - keyboards ROGER GLOVER - bass IAN PAICE - drums

Now matter how often I hear Ritchie speak, his soft, almost shy voice and his perfect RP English (to my foreign ears, that is) never ceases to amaze me. I was lucky enough to meet him ten years ago and chat with him for half an hour: I love his intelligence, his politeness and his sense of dry humour.

I love how Ritchie is always interviewed in some dungeon with candle lights and medieval attire :)

Grew up on Deep Purple through my dad (I'm a millennial) and haven't listened to them in ages, since my teens. Recently got back into playing guitar after almost a decade and had the itch to check out some Ritchie goodness, and my God. How could i ever have forgotten how phenomenal this band was. Incredible.

Who the fuck is stupid enough to not know what "Smoke on the Water" is about? Do people not listen to lyrics? Blackmore is such a precise player. Hearing that isolated solo to "Highway Star" is amazing how fast and clean he really plays. No way in hell could Jimmy Page do that. Love Page too, but he's more of a sloppy player. And I was surprised that Ritchie was so complimentary to Ian Gillan. Jon Lord: total class act and a great keyboardist. Thanks for all the years Jon. Rock in Heaven!

i don't understand how ritchie didn't like when a blind man cries when he plays so beautifully on it

Closing Statement: "Ritchie did not like it" And yet the video ends with a solo by Ritchie that is so beautiful that it even makes us, who are not bereft from the sense of sight, cry. Now I know why Ritchie didn't like the song...it's not only the blind man who cries...

From Deep Purple MkI to Deep Purple 2012 the sound is still Relevant and important to Rock & Roll...Long Live Deep Purple!...

Back in the days I had this dvd. It's amazing how classically well trained they were, knew how to create harmonies, using tonic, 3rds 4th....the blues tension....playing in 12th, 8ths...4th... improvising. How fluid.

La calidad nunca se pierde. Deep Purple el mejor grupo de todos los tiempos!

Best DP album

Awesome! loved every second of it. 🎸 🎹 .

Blind man cries, got to be one of the most emotional tracks they ever did, Ritchie's playing is pure bliss and beautiful lyrics, and so well played.

One of the best 70s rock bands

What totally amazes me from practically all musicians/ artists that have written the greatest rock tunes, almost everyone of them are derived from one simple riff. Listening to Blackmore talk about the Space Truck'n riff and how he brought to Ian and immediately Ian recognizes it and clearly had a vision for it and somehow they collaboratively turn it into this epic tune. If your a musician, professional or just a hobbyist (like me), this is the type of magic we all wish to experience.

I think "When a Blind Man Cries" is one of the best songs by DP. I don't know why they left out of the album. I mean I know Richie didn't like it. However, it's a masterpiece. Whenever I listen to it, I have goosebumps. It is full of very deep feelings.

Grandes entre los grandes!! Machine Head fue el primer LP que tuve de ellos. Deep Purple toda mi vida!! Gracias por documental🥰 💜💜💜💜💜

When a Blind Man Cries . Wow . Beautiful song . Ritchie no like it ? I do not understand why Ritchie Blackmore did not like that song . He plays beautiful guitar . Great lyrics and singing from Gillan. We still have it .

"If you wanna know the story,listen to the words.This is a story song" very well said,Jon:)

They`re all individualists in their crafts & yet had a fabulous chemistry of playing together.. I think Roger also deserves some respect here. He wrote a lot of lyrics & had one or the other idea.

I love how passinate glover is when talking about machine head! He did an awesome job with the remaster and anaversery(spelling) editions

One of the best rock albums ever!!!!!!!!! My favorite band 45 years!!!!

50 years salute today.🥳🎉 Such a Great album and masterpiece.❤️

moc dekuju, sůpostu veci jsem vubec nevedel, nebo neslysel, dokud jsem nevidel tento dokument. Zrovna Machine Head mam strasne rad od detstvi. Jeste jednou dekuji.

Deep Purple the best all the way Thank You

Great to hear them all talk about each other with respect and, dare I say it, affection. I know there were troubles, as depicted by Gillan's final commet, but they were at that time my favourite band and I prefer to hear them enjoying each other rather than fighting. Also a brilliant album.

I recorded the audio for the film (interviews) and it was a joy to work with these guys! The part of this Documentary I love the most, is that Courtney Love saw it (loved it) and she gave us the job to do the Nirvana Classic Album (Nevermind), which is one of my favorite moments in my life. Still, Deep Purple were some of the coolest dudes in Rock. I still have the Heineken bottle that Ritchie was drinking. Found it covered in dust behind some books yesterday.

Many artists go their whole careers without producing a single "classic" tune. In 2 weeks Deep Purple made 7 and called it Machine Head. 8 if you count When a Blind Man Cries.

Gosh in just 2 years, Machine Head will turn 50! Time sure flies so fast. I mean the first time I heard Machine Heard in its entirety was when I was 14 and the album was already 15 years old!

I so love this musicians. They are incredibly. All my life love this band. They are really perfect for me.

also you can clearly see here that despite Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore having been at odds for so long still will not hesitate to acknowledge the good things they did for the band. They may not like each other but they do respect each other.

I still think Machine Head is the best Hard Rock album of all time, followed by Deep Purple in Rock.

god i love deep purple

I was 14 when Machine Head was recorded now im 59.Where has the time gone?Seems like the years just flew by.

@22:20 "I thought a quasi-Bach-like sequence would be the answer for a keyboard solo". Man I could listen to this intelligent gentleman talk all day and I LOVE how he breaks down the basic progression of that solo and then cut to the actual track. Great stuff.

Very interesting documentary. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT album, great sound. It's so modern after 40 years, so...progressive, in some ways. Hats off to these guys.

Purple are brilliant. Up there with Zep and Floyd as one of the three all-time best rock bands on the planet.

When a blindman cries is the hell of a ballad. But it is the last tune now on the machine head cd and you always end up sadly listening the album with this track in the end.

Dear John We all here on this planet wish you the Best . Your Surcumbed Passing Has Devastated the Music world . you will Be Remembered and Admired for Eternity . We all thank you for your musical Talents, and contributions to Deep Purple and the Entire World R . I P

Watching Lord work his magic is amazing to say the least. The world lost a treasure and he is truly missed. Really enjoyed this upload. Thanks!

Been the DP fan since teenage years and has a lucky oppotunity to see Jon and the band playin' here in Latvia twice . We'll miss you Jon ! Thank you foor the music !

Mark 2 created their own genre, not style but, an entire genre of which only they played. It could be called: HARD rhythm and symphonidelic jazz ROCK. It was pure magic as you get exactly that impression from all the interviews. Because each of the five were such great musicians, they really needed a strong manager to provide a group direction and bond. The lack of that, led to the break up.

40 years since Machine Head, and the band is about to release a new record and embark on a new world tour during 2013!!!! Stamina!!! By the bucketloads!!! I love every mark of this band! They're just bloody amazing!!

I gotta say I love Maybe I’m A Leo. Might be my favorite song on the album.

This is the reason I took a side excursion from my bus tour of Europe to see Montreux to see where it all happened and why I will return there. Forever my favorite musicians.

Yet another comment from me. Last Autumn, I was walking down a street, which was quite muddy after a series of rains... and an old beggar was kneeling... his whole look filled with sadness, hopelessness, he was crying on the inside, and so was I when I saw him. I wrote a song about him and this feeling, "In the mud" - like one of those softer Doors' tracks. I believe When A Blind Man Cries strikes the same deep chord in me.

What could be cooler than a quasi Bach sequence played by Jon Lord? Nuttin.

DEEP PURPLE MKII 💟💟💟

R.I.P Jon Lord sad news for the world of Purple .

I was at that concert!! Amazing show))) Even saw a purple limo leave the parking garage afterwards with tinted windows - obviously the lads)) Ritchie and Jon - 2 of the most incredible musicians ever. As a keyboard player myself, Jon was my hero - RIP. You are sorely missed.

Watched this video quite awhile back. Actually watched it again awhile after and now I am here again. I could watch a video like this for hours to end. I'd just stop it when I have to sleep, eat and go to work. Would always be nice to sit down and enjoy the continue !

Deep purple,the greatest rock band ever!

I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SEE DEEP, 3 X ON THE "KNOCKIN' AT YOUR BACKDOOR" - TOUR IN THE 80's AT WORCESTER CENTRUM IN MASS. WHAT AN AWESOME WEEK, JON LORD LIT THE WHOLE PLACE UP LIKE A GOTHIC CHURCH, RITCHIE WAS INCREDIBLE - JUST THE WHOLE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE I'LL NEVER EVER FORGET...........LOVE ALL THE DEEP'S MUSICIANS OVER THE YEARS, GLENN HUGHES - BOTH IANS - SPACE TRUCKIN

Definitely the best album and band ever! Respect!

I agree with Roger. For me Highway Star is the ultimate Deep Purple song.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful documentary with your fans. Dear Mr. Jon Lord, we're all praying for you to get well soon. We simply refuse to let you stop playing the beast. From Uruguay, with love, a humble fan, keyboard player and lifelong follower, Pablo Martínez

Purples best ever album,imo.

Possibly THE most influential band on the style & sound of the hard rock/heavy metal of the later '70's and the '80s, even more than Zeppelin, even if Zeppelin made them play "riff rock" in the first place, as they freely admitted.....RESPECT!!!!!

ritchie, rodger, ian. john, and ian, coverdale and hughes, thanx for all the memories

Masterpiece never gets old.

Purple were, are the business. Love you guys. Lots of mems and fun along the highway. ✌👍👏👏👏👏👏

Todo esto, esta en el DVD " Making Machine Head " ... GLORIOSO !!!!! 👋👋👋👋👋🇦🇷

true that David and Ritchie had a falling out. But Gillan was the singer on Machine Head. And it is Gillan that is the singer I alluded to in my earlier comment. You are correct that something as tragic as Jon's passing does put things into perspective. I read an interview where Ritchie said that Jon meant so much to him and his passing is personally devastating to him.

Лучшая группа на все времена!!!

My dad brought this album home when I was seven. I don't know who listened to it more, him or me. It definitely went a long damned way in my formation as a fan of hard rock and heavy metal music.

When I was in High School my father bought me this album in 1992-93 my senior year. I love this album. Deep Purple are bad ass. Classic metal acts of all time.

I can't get over how different Gillan looks on the live bits of Smoke, Space Truckin', etc compared to things that were filmed only month after that gig. His hair was much longer in the later bits but he just looks different !! Anyone else ever noticed that ?

very nice great

From this we knew that the recording of this album is the Deepest Purple..inspiring & fun yet volatile when needed with hints of aggression and urgency..Roger have tons of fun behind the mixing desk. ✳

50 years of great awesomeness

32:48 Paice´s reaction is magnificent

I love Deep Purple.

One of the best albums of all time ! If you didn’t have this in your record collection you don’t know shit about ROCK!

Awesome stories! I bought this album in 1973 on 8-track when I was in Jr High school, and have replaced it with each new media. I have probably listened to it hundreds of times and have never gotten tired of it. It will always be in my top 10 favs of all time. Happy Anniversary Deep Purple on your timeless, classic album!

Deep Purple is the greatest f..... rock band ever!!!

cant WAIT to see you guys, on Superbowl Sunday in Halifax, NS. Canada !!!!!! you guys are going to bring down the house !!!!!!!!

I love Jon Lord in this video.

Frank Zappa: "The only thing that was saved from our equipment was a cowbell..."

I wish they would talk about Who Do We Think We Are( a very underrated album) and why Gillan and Glover left Deep Purple shortly after recording it which pretty much made it the forgotten Purple album after Coverdale and Hughes joined.

purple are legend...and will never be forgotten.

love Richies guitar playing.

Every member integral to the sound, but LOVED hearing Jon on the keys! He can't help but sound unique. One touch on the keys and you hear the purple sound. Sad that he won't be blessing us anymore with his musicality, other than on his records of course. They are all a clever group of lads, but I think I am correct in considering Jon the consummate gentleman of the group. R.I.P. Composer. Beastmaster, Gentleman. Jon Lord.

A maior banda de hard rock que já existiu.

Thumbs up for the brotherhood of Deep Purple

so good so good it's just so damn good every note so perfectly placed not one millisecond of waste, just beautiful. perfect in every way possible, how could something like this be so epic and awesome in this universe, in this life on this planet, maybe there is hope and life is worth living?

Pure excellence in every element of the music. I totally appreciate their innovation to hard rock. I wish more people my age(26) and younger would turn their heads from what''s playing now and take a seat and learn a lesson or two from these icons. Totally awesome.

Yup.... Best Rock Album, period. Album almost pulls you into a transe. Its affects are so addictive. My choice of drugs...Deep Purple.

Mastery , genius and honesty on the music

Outstanding upload. Thanks a ton. It's the most enjoyment I've gotten from YT for a long time.

To warminator: You're exactly right about Roger's input -- he was responsible for the title of "Smoke on the Water" (which just sounds powerful in its own right); he suggested the song be written about factual events of the time and was always in the control room overseeing the band's production --- a great asset to this band's success, for sure :)

My no 1 rock band till now ..

Great how they captured a live Highway Star while still under construction.

The Best band ever and ever will be...
