umbertino Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 From their best (IMVHO) album "Deep Purple In Rock" 1970 ( magical year for music ...Stunning albums were created...) All below songs are performed by the classic / epic somehow DP lineup ... Deep Purple In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, Who Do We Think We Are, Made In Japan (live) albums Ritchie Blackmore – guitar Jon Lord (RIP) – keyboards, organ Ian Paice – drums, percussion Ian Gillan – lead vocals Roger Glover – bass This lineup ( the second one in the band's history) then crumbled after a few years mainly because there was a bad fight going on for quite some time between (great) vocalist Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore ( acknowledged by many as an excellent guitarist but also crazy like a horse) They had gotten to the point of beating each other in a few occasions mainly due to Blackmore's temper........ Can't recall exactly...But one of those 2 (or both maybe) left the band https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbertino Posted April 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) A great track imo....One of their most famous ones....Contains the long and legendary Blackmore's guitar ride (besides the great Jon Lord's organ sound and usual special Gillan's singing) When I first heard this one at age 13 (1970)...It did change the world perception ( thundered on my way to Damascus sorta) I had until then...Loved it right away....

umbertino Posted April 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Another extremely good track imo...One of my faves Ian Paice (called little Ian to distinguish him from Gillan) - great drummer...Much underrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
