My friend, the hallmark of all these 70's groups was the fact that each individual musician was great in their own right. As you listen, focus on each individual musician and what they are playing . Of course, how they sound together was unbelievable!
The first solo is a true solo; John Lord made his organ sound like a guitar... it was his intention to sound like a guitarist; you can hear that best in „Smoke on the water“...
This song was written in 10 minutes in the back of a tour bus after a reporter touring with the band asked them how they write their songs. Upon arriving at the venue the song was perfected during sound check and performed live that night. This is why we say our generations music will never be matched. This is real musical talent. From a time when you actually had to be good at your craft to be successful.
"Made In Japan" baby!!!! I played the grooves of this album. Yep. I'm OAF but still kickin' ass and taking numbers.......just like this song. Reliving my teen years. Thanks!!
@@aafjeyakubu5124 Completely agree; they definitely weren't underrated in the 70's. You couldn't go more than 30 minutes or so without hearing anthems like Highway Star, Free Bird, Stairway to Heaven or Do You Feel Like We Do on the rock radio stations back then.
Lol we always called this a "Ticket song" Because if you've got this on while driving you feel like a highway star ⭐ my BF and all his friends had muscle cars so they spent most of their time working on cars, talking about them ect ect.. Drinking beer was next lol so I was right there with them! I still adore muscle cars and DP!! 🔥🌟😎
This album, Made In Japan, turned me into a musician starting age 14. For weeks on end after acquiring a copy (older brother) I did little else but listen to it with headphones, trying to understand what each instrument was doing, imagining my hands feet and fingers doing what they were doing. It became an obsession that lead to owning my first instrument a year later.
Yeah so, the guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was a beast and a HUGE influence on generations of lead guitarists there after. As I mentioned to Jojo, he was recognized as a noted grandfather of mixing blues scales with classical scales (as he was adept at both)
once when on the tour bus, a magazine reporter asked them how they make music? The band then wrote this song and played it live for the first time the next day as part of the tour. An on the spot creation turned into one of the biggest hits they had. Inspiration at its finest.
Grew up on Deep Purple, my dad had the original vinyl and a player when I was younger, like 25 years ago. Used to JAM them and others after school. Much respect my man
Ritchie Blackmore - say whatever else you want to say about him, is flat out a guitar virtuoso and underrated. Ive heard there are unflattering tings out theree about his personality, but the man had the goods on he Axe and was shredding it big time years before most.
Richie Blackmore is a master at the guitar. You should check out his next band when he left DP. The band is Rainbow, such a great band. Everyone starts off and reacts to "Stargazer" because it is so epic with Ronnie James Dio on vocals and Cozy Powell on drums.
The original metal band was actually Steppenwolf. Rolling Stone magazine originated the term "heavy metal" to describe Steppenwolf's live performance of "Born to be wild" while including an excerpt of the line..... "Rolling down the highway, heavy metal thunder!!!"
Blue Cheer is often called the originator of heavy metal ( I say with a HEAVY heart, as I am life-long Sabbath fan ), but born to be wild is the big metal song because it was so popular, especially after easy rider came out. But...how many bands credit blue cheer or Steppenwolf as their biggest influences? zero. So purple, sabbath, and zeppelin are the trifecta of metal.
This is a great song, when I first heard this in 1972 when I was a teenager and played Keyboards. I loved their sound and I had a Hammond C3 and a Synthesizer and a Farfisa Organ and a Rhodes 88 with a Leslie Amp
Two solos at the same time is called a duet, however, the part you mentioned wasn't a duet, it was just the keyboard solo with the rest of the band holding the backing music. Sometimes the drummer will throw in a fill but it's not necessarily a solo.
I saw Deep Purple at least 6 times in the early 1970s - incredible live band and very loud. John Lord - Keyboards. Ian Paice - Drums. Roger Glover - Bass. Ritchie Blackmore - Lead Guitar.
MADE IN JAPAN..., el mejor disco grabado en vivo de la historia, pura energía, improvisación y virtuosismo, grabado por la banda de hard rock también más grade de la historia (Totalmente ignorada y subestimada en USA). Higway Satar es la obra magna del rock and roll. Saludos
For some reason, the camera was looking at the wrong side of the stage during the guitar solo. The man in the back was Roger Glover, the bassist, not the lead guitarist. He wasn't the one playing the solo. The man with the shirt you were commenting on, Ritchie Blackmore, is the guitarist.
When people could sing and play instruments and write their own tunes and people from different countries and different races and different backgrounds could just enjoy the music together,
My 2 favorite classic rock bands Zeppelin and Deep Purple also! ..awesome musicians i wouldn't know where to start when complimenting all the individual musicians from either band all i can say is that DP is probably the most talented from Richie Blackmore and Ian Paice probably one of the best rock drummers on earth to Jon Lord i never saw such a talent on keyboards ..maybe Keith Emerson ..DP was just 5 guys that were super talented!
These guys were so incredibly talented that before this performance , a reporter asked them how they write their songs . They said they wrote this song in like 2 minutes in front of the reporter and went out and performed it as a jam session that night .
This is the 3rd Deep Purple reaction video of appearances that I have watched. I didn't know what to expect but have enjoyed a similar excitement to the one that I had when I first discovered them in 76... Now some 46 years later it is refreshing to see the same appreciation of master musicianship that originally knocked me sidewayss
The soundtrack of my childhood! First track off my first rock ablum, Machine Head. The sound of this video is from the classic "Made in Japan" album - one of the greatest live albums ever - but the footage is from a concert in Copenhagen. I heard that Lars Ulrich was there!
My favourite driving song ever. So lucky to see them in concert. Founder, Jon Lord, organ RIP Jon Ian Paice, drums Roger Glover, bass Richie Blackmore, guitar Ian Gillan, vocals. Sexy as hell. Dudes with long hair yay 🤣
You can't really decide , both Le4d Zep and Deep Purple are form another planet. Hard to say IF and WHO could be the best, bottom line is : every time you hear one of them bands you are touched and moved. And that's what is all about
Ignore the video clip which is just spliced live takes from different shows and the original video for the charts. The actual audio is from Purples live album "Made in Japan" which was a monster for Purple and one of the best rock live albums ever made. The solos from John Lord and Ritchie Blackmore are stunning rock masterpieces with lots of classical feel with those super fast descending triplets. Ritchie's solo on this live album is way heavier than the studio version - its really incomparable heavy rock. It is no wonder modern rock musos describe Purple, Led Zep and Black Sabbath as the founders of hard rock and metal. Their influences are everywhere. And they are all masters of their instruments. Legends.
So Van .... This is a trick. The video is them performing it in Copenhagen, Denmark BUT the audio was recorded in Osaka, Japan (from the "made in Japan" album. *Whoever did this was pretty slick. They "freestyled" a lot within their performances. Every night wasn't exactly the same. This audio version was definitive. The whole band was particularly 🔥 at this show.
Deep Purple are 5 virtuosos. If you like Ian Paice on drums check out the studio version of Burn. As for Blackmore check out the song Stargazer from his other band Rainbow which has Dio on vocals.
FYI My Brother, That keyboard 🎹 player that you “so rightly” keep giving props to(Jon Lord was his name), was a classically trained musician! Sadly he’s no longer with us😔He passed away a few years ago. In his off time from Purple he wrote symphonies for The London Symphony Orchestra😳😲🤭 That’s the caliber of a musician he was! A bonafied genius 🙌 May he rest in absolute peace🙏✌️🫶
True enough, just to note though that this video has been added to the audio track. The audio is from the 'Made In Japan' (live) album which unfortunately there is no visual recording of.
Dude, you've gotta check out the Mule live. The drummer, Ian Paice dose an incredible solo. His dad was into jazz, and you can see in his technique. Peace
