January 75 I'm in Hong Kong on holidays with my parents....it's my 12th birthday. My parents took me to a record store and said pick out any record you want. It happened to be Deep Purple 'Made in Japan.' I recognized "Smoke on the Water" because I'd obviously heard it before. I'll never forget that birthday.

Deep Purple is probably the best live band on Earth. Best band in terms of musicianship. All members are top notch musicians.

The best live band of all time.

And just think, there are so many in this audience who can now literally tell their grandchildren that they were there❤

Deep Purple is a force of nature. Welcome.

With Deep Purple my music journey started (i am born in 1960 in Belgium) and i am glad i saw them 3 times live

It was back in the day when bands went on stage and played without the benefit of BIG SCREENS and MILLIONS of moving lights. They band went out and gave everything they had.

The best hard rock band all time

Deep Purple will always be one of my favourite bands. 🤘🏻 They are timeless.

The audience had never seen anything like Deep Purple.

You always remember your first time. Yeah Yeah Yeah. Peace

"Between Burt Reynolds with hair and Cotton-eye Joe... " LMFAO

I/m selling all my vinyl to a dealer next week. I can't carry it around anymore. This is one of them. I hope they take it.

Super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+++++

To think all these people in video, if still alive, are part of our senior citizens, today. ❤️🤘🎸🎻🦘

Seems like every week in the 70's another mind blowing album was released! Luckily, a lot of it was filmed and everyone can enjoy it! Great reaction!!

My brother give me Deep purple Machine head album for my 16 years in 1973 , I didn't know them , it's one of my all time favorite band , thank you always to my brother .i so happy to have lived this era

Sometimes I feel jealous of people who discover Deep Purple for the first time, my journey began in 1970 abd your reaction like a light coming on and listening and saying wow, its now 50+ yrs and i still cant get over of the power and talent, and John Lord on hammond organ sadly no longer with us was one of the best enjoy the music

The camera man doing the crowd shots knew his assignment

Utterly awesome Jon Lord solo - I’m so glad I got to see him before he died.

Camon Deep purple❤❤❤💜💜💜💜💜fantastici,unici al mondo vi ascolto in ogni momento della giornata da 40 anni. Ho iniziato a 5 anni😂😂😂

More of my life on KZfaq... Sneaking into a campus too catch band's. Hot Tuna was a favorite. Then there were the concerts in the parks... It was worth losing my hearing through most of the early 80s...

I grew up with them, their posters glued to my bedroom walls to the utter desperation of my mom. They were part of most of the 'pop festivals' back then, early to mid-seventies. I went to about 20 of them. Those were the days of carefree living. And it was good.

This band were my entry to rock (and subsequently metal) . When I heard Black Night for the first time , everything changed ( for the better). I always found their albums good, but it is live on stage that they really came to life. In effect (imo) an improve jazz rock band. No two live shows were the same. As others have said, their musicianship gave them the scope to freestyle. With various hand signals to move to next part etc, they went with the flow on any given evening. I was fortunate to see them (and their offshoots - Gillan, Rainbow, Whitesnake et al). But Purple (mark 2) will forever have a special place in my heart and on my playlist. As always I love your reaction ❤

Bro, I'm from Upper Marlboro MD and my 1st concert was Deep Purple 1973. Brand New Cap Centre. A teen club 9th grade field trip with teachers and all. They made us leave about 3 songs in. Weed smoke everywhere. They freaked out and put us on the bus. LoL. Nobody knew what a rock show would be like. Teachers sure didn't. Deep Purple fan ever since

La mejor banda de todos los tiempos!!!!! Deep purple,!!!

Best live performers at that time. Blackmore was way a head of his time.

I had the 8-Track of this "album" - happy to see you reacted to this. I edited because I had the original studio album, not this live version

Where too next? Lazy, made in Japan live version. The Mule, excellent drum solo from Ian Paice

Great vid of DP; if you want an even more chaotic performance you must see their Live Mandrake Root (Live, London, 1970). Blackmore just outperforms what you have just seen.

You see how happy the people were back in the good day's. Thanks for the trip on memory lane. Love it. Awesome video again. 🇮🇹🇧🇪🇪🇺🤘

I watched lately a few video's on youtube of a grey haired Jon Lord (1941-2012) playing more classical and jazzy tunes, and I was really amazed by his eloquent performances. Great musician.

This was SOOOOOOOOO innovative for the time!!!!

THE GREATEST BAND EVER!!!!!

I wonder if they are blowing the roof off at Fillmore East in this video. . Love it! I cruise to Deep Purple cassettes often .Peace.

Yeeeeesssss. Great quality sound on vt from 50 years ago. More deep purple please. Shout out to all the wild hair in the 70s too. You just need to convince spencer he needs a piano organ thing, a smoke machine, flares and the desire to kick his guitar around the stage. Makes trex vid look calm and understated

You were right when you said he (Jon Lord) would never play the same thing again. Those days the music was not run like clockwork by a computer. You felt it and played it from your heart and that was how the people heard it. I know. At a very lot lower level I was doing the same and I can tell you the freedom to jam out is a wonderful feeling right down to your toes.

Jon Lord's playing on organ has been called"Gorilla aggression playing"

never too late to the purple - you've got plenty of time

yes, that's how it is when the BIG BOYS play

In 1974 I was 18 years old and living in Denver Colorado and the first concert I went to was Deep Purple my favorite band at the time, I had tickets for the 1973 tour, but the tour was postponed for a year because the lead singer Ian Gillan left the band and was replaced by David Coverdale. The band came back in 1974, It was worth the wait. My favorite Purple song has to be "Highway Star" Live from Made In Japan LP, It still kicks Ass!

Perfect Strangers music video is awesome. It's about reunion of this great band. And epic song. Ty for this. ❤️‍🔥

It is fun to watch you enjoying great music.....

best track ever deep purple forever😀😀😀😀

Cool clip, never saw this before!

Deep Purple - Mistreated Live in 1974

1973 just started working in hell (a factory ) going to see Sabbath and Purple .On top of that my football team Sunderland took me on a wonderful journey by winning the F.A. Cup.Great memories , apart from working in hell .

Especially at 70-s DP new how to make shows + they were top class musicians

Happiness❤

Uno de las mejores muestras de lo que era Deep Purple en vivo. Puro poder del Rock.

Oh Lordy, Lordy! Dear Sweet Lord! Jon Lord! Has there ever been a better rock organ? There can't have been many.

Still listen to MIJ once in awhile. Amazing. Paice, one of my drum heroes.

I honestly think you should have been born in Europe in the mid 60s and then grew up with this stuff. It was on the radio and back then we had popular festivals, uk and Europe. Great thing is you are experiencing it now. Awesome music never dates. Embrace the journey lol

Additional to my last comment, look at a band called Lindisfarne, Meet me on the Corner, Lady Eleanor, Clear White Light, Fog on the Tyne

best keyboard solo ever, out Emersons Emerson, out Wakemans Wakeman, I'd say!

A month later the singer and the bass player did their last show with the band and a new chapter started. And this was a really short version of the song, sometimes they extended it to 30 minutes :-)

During Made in Japan live Ritchie was calm but between 74and 75 he started to destroy everything on stage!

Just think how good they could have been if they had had the unity, the comraderie, affection Zeppelin had... even so, utterly astounding live.

Jon, Lord of the Hammond

Not as much as I would like but their is still a ton of Purple out there for you to enjoy. Lord, Blackmore, Paice, Gillan and Glover what a group of next level musicians.

The best version is live in japan but it was never filmed its over 20 minutes long..

I saw them in NYC in 1973. Maybe I was there

It's not a piano but Hammond Organ. Fascinating instrument on it's own. Then add Jon Lord and this happens.

You're only late to the party, the party never stopped for us old farts, keep on Rockin and enjoy the ride.

And just to say 50 (fifty) years ago. I do feel old 😂

Ritchie Blackmore was so good he could put down his guitar and it'd carry on playing!

Perfect Strangers is one of my favs and Burn,

Welcome to Deep Purple my friend ! I recommend their double live album titled Made in Japan. Awesome from beginning to end.

I was there my friend what a concert

Bless you man, great reaction

Glad you are enjoying the trip ! Pardon the pun !!!

Jon Lord was quite gentle with his keyboards - compared, that is, with Keith Emerson. Keith was known to stab his keyboards with daggers just so that he could hold a note. Think you'd like Emerson, Lake & Palmer playing "Knife Edge" on Beat Club on 1970. Keith vaults over one of his keyboards and then starts playing it backwards. Incidentally, once you've visited the Beat Club youtube channel you might never get out. It was a German TV programme and nearly EVERYBODY played there: Yes, Caravan, Renaissance (original line up), Van der Graaf Generator, Curved Air, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Procol Harum, Steamhammer, Black Sabbath, T Rex, King Crimson, Hendrix, Steppenwolf, Alice Cooper, The Moody Blues, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Fotheringay, Cream, etc, etc, etc.

I remember seeing my Dad take the LP from the sleeve of the album 'Machine Head'. Tracks like 'Lazy', 'Highway Star' and this one are part of my childhood. Great memories Daniel. Cheers!!

saw them live in 1972

It's not live , but if you want to hear John Lord rippin up the organ , you have to check out , RAT BAT BLUE , the studio version !!! Another good live one is Strange Kind Of Woman , , wait , they are all good ones live !! Loved Deep Purple for 40 + years and always will !!

This brings back memories. 😀

Saw em back in '74. They were billed as the loudest band in rock and roll !

Deep Purple were… Jon Lord on Keyboards Ritchie Blackmore on guitar Ian Gillan on vocals Roger Glover on bass Ian Paice on drums I highly recommend Strange Kind of Woman live next, it features an iconic call and response section between Ian Gillan on vocals and Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, here’s the link… kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsh0eZh5lce9m58.html Also there is another version of Space Truckin’ live 1972 which is 22 minutes long, well worth a watch, I think it is better than the one you reacted to… kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKh8hqV-rdzOZoE.html Glad you are enjoying the journey, this is the music I grew up with.

saw them live. best music and hot girls cool cars.

For your appreciation of this great live band - subscribed

When bras were not prevalent! God bless.

4:13 rock legend ✌️

hey Man, I was a Keyboard Player in 1972 and Deep Purple was on the set-list with songs like Still You Turn Me On, Lucky Man, From the Beggining from ELP or Emerson Lake and Palmer also Yes Roundabout( which you should check out 2017 Hall of Fame where they do Roundabout

Yes!!! I just love _Space Truckin!_ Here's a few more Deep Purple numbers for ya... Burn (1974) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gqmemMWL09_XnX0.html Fireball (1971) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p55ontKWxtfWdZs.html Speed King (1970) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oq94m5SFmLm1qXk.html PS - according to some, the song _Speed King_ is considered to be the first true speed metal song. Maybe yes, maybe no, but it's definitely at least _one_ of the first!!

Funny you should reference Jesus, Ian Gillan sang the "Jesus" part in "JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR". Check out the song "GETHSEMANE" . Maybe he was in town and stopped by to see him perform.

I was "weened" on these guys...still an important part of my "journey". Pre. monitors & in ears! Pure musicianship...art. love & light from South Wales UK 💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌻🤟

My friend this ole bastard was at that show at the Garden. Then saw mk 3 the next year at Madison Square Garden in NYC.

Funny how your always saying your late. Better late than never. You might find this interesting, as much as we loved our bands and music in the 60's and 70's we didn't have a clue what some of them looked like because we didn't have internet and lord knows they would not be on television like now. If you were lucky you might see a picture in a magazine. That is why albums were so wonderful. First the sound was amazing and the bonus was getting to open those beautiful album covers and see the band members and get to read bio's and lyric's. Opening an album was like opening a gift full of surprises. Oh how I miss those days. Peace my friend!

Buongiorno... benvenuto nella grande famiglia!! Qui in Italia i DP sono leggenda pura, li ho visti parecchie volte in concerto, tuttora fanno tour, anche se, ovviamente, l età ha il suo peso. Penso a quando li scoprii, piu o meno in terza media, a 14 anni, nientemeno che con il doppio live MADE IN JAPAN,che ti consiglio vivamente...li ho suonati, e sono restati dopo cinquant'anni la migliore espressione di questa musica, da non confondersi con l heavymetal come fanno tanti, per loro è solo una sfaccettatura. Ti auguro un buon viaggio, ciao da Brescia 😘

I believe the venue was felt form

As far as I'm concerned the two best rock bands that ever existed are Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple❤

Nobody could scream like Ian Gillan!

Can we have Black Night as the next Purple song pls

Hey man, welcome to the party. I grew up on Ll this stuff seen a lot of great bands live. You should definitely check out Edgar winter group Frankenstein live. The video looks like they're in a studio. That's a great song from this Era, and the musical talent won't disappoint. Keep diving in man, you just barely got your toes wet.

Without doubt Purple were the best band check out the Guinness book of records 1972 they were recorded as the loudest band I saw them at the Rainbow in London 72 my hearing suffered for few days afterwards.

Tommy Bolin is the guitarist that replaced Blackmore in Purple for the Come Taste The Band album. Check out the song Post Toastee from his Private Eyes album. Great jam

It's about time i mentioned this to you in the last live chat buzzin next Bruce Dickinson live tears of the dragon it's awesome Bruce Dickinson is the lead singer from iron maiden

Glad to see you keeping our music alive. You're digging deep on this one. Great reaction.
