Deep Purple was so early on the Hard Rock scene (Late 1960's) no one realized the talent till a few years after. Yes, they had a few great tunes that were over-played on the radio for many years. But the deepest part of Deep Purple was not realized till much later. The double Live Album (MADE IN JAPAN) was the introduction album for many folks. After hearing LAZY, SPACE TUCKEN, THE MULE, and Strange kinda woman LIVE you really get hooked. Ya, this Studio version of Lazy is nice, but the live version is 10x better... I still have a hard time listening to the studio versions of these songs because how awesome the live ones are...
IMO yes! I like some of Black Sabbath's and Led Zeppelin's stuff, but my favourite band of the trio are Deep Purple. I prefer Ian Gillan's voice; Ritchie Blackmore's electric guitar; Ian Paice's drumming; and Jon Lord is the greatest Hammond organ rock keyboardist ever (for me). "Made in Japan" is, I think, the best live rock album ever put out by anybody. Always listen to the studio versions first. But when you hear the same songs from that record you'll be gobsmacked!
@@79BlackRoseDP mark II was the quintessential DP. Gillan’s voice is legendary. He sang the studio version of Jesus Christ Superstar. I hope MDreezy reads this.Both this song and Smoke On The Water are both sung by Gillan. ❤️
In 1970 Deep Purple released an epic song called "Child In Time". Many will urge you to react to live versions. I hope you will do so LATER. I recommend you listen to the original version first. When you hear live versions you'll appreciate them more.
There were several lineups of the band. This is the second one (Mark 2) featuring singer Ian Gillan, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, John Lord on keyboards, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums. For me, this is the best line-up.
… Rock music is explained like this: There is a lead guitar, an organ, a bass, a singer, a drummer... and there is DEEP PURPLE!! … There is nothing more to say!! 🎸🎹🥁🎤 Thank You
Yes, we called money, bread😅. Way back when 😅. Deep Purple has some great songs. Please play Highway Star, it will blow your mind. But you must close your eyes and picture yourself behind the wheel of a car. I think you'll like it 😅. You are a Fantastic reactor ❤️😎☮️
I will definitely react to highway star😁 and i appreciate your kidnd words you have been such a supporter to my channel and growth i appreciate you mire than words can describe
The keys in this are played the the organ master Jon Lord a legend and when paired with Richie Blackmore on guitar it's always good. Also with the term bread you are exactly correct he does mean money and that term has been around for a long time.
Saw them in about 2007 in Varese Italy. Weird, 17 years ago yet I remember thinking that it was so many years after their true prime…Time, boy it catches you…
When I was younger we were at a mall and they had this piano, organ place. They were having some old guy playing some melody when my friend asked if he could play. Guy said sure and my friend started messing around with it and finally got the grove for the beginning part of Lazy. He started playing it and all of sudden all these teens came running to the piano place to hear my friend play. Was freaking great
Yes, money was bread. In fact that was a 50's expression used by the Beatniks, the pre-hippies. They also invented "cool" although that may have been even earlier. Jon Lord started as a jazz organist, his idol was Jimmie Smith. Then he amped it up with DP. They were among the loudest bands, neck and neck with The Who, Sabbath, etc. Lord however was known to break eardrums
FunFact Deep Purple were the LOUDEST Band in the world for a while. They joined a group of 10 or so bands who really turned it up to 11! 😂😂😂 Getting close to the practical limit of just how loud a conventional speaker can actually work. This does incluse the band "Disaster Area" the fictional band from Douglas Adams "Restaurant at the End of the Universe" 😂😂😂
‘Bread’ was slang for ‘money’ in the 1970’s and long before that, to answer your question. You’re hearing the organ because it’s featured heavily in most DP songs, the great Jon Lord at the time.
They were part of the unholy trinity which was led zeppelin black sabbath and deep purple All 3 shaped future musicians and created the begging of heavy metal
Why does everyone keep misclassifying Led Zeppelin as heavy metal??? Black Sabbath was arguably headed in that direction, but not Led Zeppelin. Neither really was Deep Purple.
thanks for bringing real music to another generation, the music your listening to now, We knew the name of the guitarist, the bass player, the Drummer, what so called artist now can you truly say that about?
Deep Purple 💜 LAZY!!?? Caught my eye 👁️ So you have Iconic Legends that you hear about forever and you have Awesome bands you kinda hear of! Very simple. SPACE TRUCKIN!! Same album also HIGHWAY STAR as well! Ian Gillan sang on this particular album. Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Well, at their very beginning, they were, like many startup bands, not so so popular. But boy did they take off in the 70s! They were part of the "unholy 3" of early hard rock: them, Led Zep, and Black Sabbath. Those three were the pioneers of what we know today as hard rock/metal. Deep Purple has soooo many fantastic hits, but you definitely need to hear Highway Star (first), Woman from Tokyo, Space Trucking, Pictures of Home, Maybe I'm a Leo, Hush, and Fireball.
back in the dark damp 70s when I used to have hair I seem to remember a hippie saying have you got any bread man I know where we can score some really good weed.(never could remember his name)Manfred Mann can play Good keyboard,and so was Rick Wakeman and Tony Banks.🙃
One of my all-time favorite songs.The whole album is great. For whatever reason the classic rock stations have only played a small number of their songs. They didn't have a lot of huge radio hits, but anyone who's a true classic rock fan knows all about them. This version of the band is the best (IMO) and most well known. Everyone in the band was one of the best at their instrument. Jon Lord played his organ through a disorted Marshall amp, which at times makes it sound almost like a 2nd guitar. Ian GIllain was a phenomenal singer. He sang the part of Jesus on the Jesus Christ Superstar album, not long after he had joined Deep Purple.
Ok so my suggestion on Deep Purple is BURN - sucker moves!!! Now you might as well do a Steppenwolf reaction (dad played bass and sang back up) #MagicCarpetRide and #BornToBeWild of course. Used on the soundtrack for Easy Rider (check the trailer)
You're gonna hate me after a while and maybe you already do. I saw Deep Purple in '84 at Irvine Meadows, which was kind of a reunion tour for them. Blackmore disbanded from the group (or maybe I should say, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover) and replaced them with David Coverdale on the mike and added backup vocalist and bassist Glen Hughes. Then he joined forces with lead vocalist Ronnie James Dio and formed the band Rainbow in '75, which was named after The Rainbow Bar and Grill on the Sunset strip. It seemed as though Ritchie had many interchangeable parts through the years, yet he and his cohorts remained relevant, but not superstars. IMO: Machine Head was likely DP's best collective effort. Lazy is a great song! Glad you got the chance to hear it. Rock on!
As a 17 year old student living in England (after having lived the first 16 in Africa) I only had superficial knowledge of the music scene at the time. The family I lived with had a son who was Deep Purple’s lawyer and he gave me tickets for a show. Got slammed in the face with this concert and have been heavily involved in listening to good music ever since. They were promoting this album (Machine Head) at the time. Seen them twice since and they are appearing this summer only a few miles away from where I live here in France this summer. Already got my tickets !!! My first live show and maybe, at my advanced age, my last … who knows ? 😂 And yes, bread has meant money for a very long while. Take care. I enjoy your reactions.
And by the way, DP has never been underrated, being that they are considered as precursors of this genre, along with Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and a few others.
Without a doubt, Deep Purple is a great band. Together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabath he was part of the heavy rock trilogy. It has many high-level songs. Richie Blackmore is one of the best guitarists, very clean to play. He left Deep Purple to form the band Rainbow with which he also had great success.
Keyboard? Wait till you hear Styx Grand Illusion. Lol. Bread has always been money even back then. You need bread to buy bread. Hammond B3 organ with distortion. Classic. And Richie Blackmore was one of the turning points in guitar becoming the lead instrument.
The mule live from Copenhagen Denmark 1972 drummer Ian paice is blistering through the whole song which includes an amazing drum solo as well. it is a live video so you get to see it..rock on dude.
Money has been referred to as bread or dough since ancient times. It something we all knead!!!😂😂🤣🤣✌✌😁😁 Rock n' Roll is a mixture of all genres, so don't be surprised hearing country mixed in.👌👌👍👍✌✌😁😁
yes, money was bread way back early and mid 60's -the biggest album of deep purple was machine head there were 3 huge songs played at all the parties they were smoke on the water/lazy/and HIGHWAY STAR -FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT FOR HIGHWAY STAR!!1 Never as big as the biggies (BEATLES /ROLLING STONES/LED ZEPPELIN/THE GRATEFUL DEAD) but i had 3-4 deep purple albums in the 70's
Jon Lord was a classically trained keyboardist and a big part of DP sound. DP had several singers so depending on the song David Coverdale, Ian Gilliam and Glenn Hughes who also played bass.
More Deep Purple please! I really enjoy your reactions! You really need to check them out live! I suggest Highway Star, Child in time and Space Truckin! Also Perfect Strangers original video is awesome! Thanks!
Well Mr.Dreeezy, where do I start!! Well I really wish I had the time and the space to get “deep” in depth with ya’ about all of your thoughts and questions but I can cover a few things that might help clear up some confusion! First and foremost the “focal point” that you mentioned first of all was the “eternal”(meant with the utmost respect🫡)Jon Lord on keys 🎹😇!! On his off-time from Purple, he wrote symphonies for “The London Symphony Orchestra” if that gives you any idea as to his skill level as a musician!!! And as far as the rest of the guys, well they were “all” stellar musicians at the top of their game in an era when music was evolving and changing about as fast as you changed socks 🧦 and genres were basically “just being created!!” So it was pretty much “anything goes” in those days oh and yeah brother, we(at least the hippies)called money 💴 “bread back then too!!!🧔🏽♀️🤭✌🏻🫶🏻🎶🎹🎸🥁
I think the band broke up and they all started their own bands or something like that I seem to remember Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow rising and Gillan a few more at reading Festivals of the 70&80
This is quite cheesey for deep purple in my opinion. Deep Purple were hard rock, and this is a huge departure from that. Instrumentaly great, but not their usual sound. Have a listen to Speedking, Fireball, Child In Time to hear them at their heavy best.
Great live performance of Lazy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KnIgXtE4K5U.html. It is about 4 minutes longer with extended instrumentals. Each musician’s skill can be observed & appreciated, and the bass can actually be heard.
I hear what you're saying about the keyboards and synthesisers, when I was 12 or 14, back in the early 70s, I had never heard keyboards that was like a trippy church organ on mushrooms mixed with gothic and blues and funk and rock and ...WTF was I hearing ?? Deep Purple, like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Aerosmith and ZZ TOP, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, and Skynyrd back then, were a bit hardcore and flew parallel to AM radio music, which was more "family friendly". This stuff was more for us hard rock fans, those a bit more "in the know" about who was hot and who was not. Blackmoor was so pupular among young men and boys, that Fender released a Ritchie Blackmoor custom white Stratocaster, featuring his signature deeply scalloped fretboard and an outrageous price. One of the first in a long line of Fender "artist signature series guitars".
