Ian Paice!!!! Omg, the speed, control, power, driving momentum.

THE best players and singer, it's that simple.

One of my favorite songs of all time , right here !!!! Now,,,,, turn it up really loud ,,, there you go !!!!!!!!! And if you listen to Ian PAICE on the drums ,,, he doesn't slow down very much , and this is a 18 minute song !!! Makes my arms tired !!!

That GOAT is Ian Paice. When great drummers are discussed, he definitely has a seat at the table. His name isn't known perhaps as well in common vernacular, but that's because he's never been a drama king, if you know what I mean.

Song is a masterpiece. One of the best live albums ever made!

Space trucking one of the greatest live songs by one of the greatest English heavy rock bands. Heard it when I was 12 I’m 62 now and it still blows me away

Was that like the ultimate in rock n roll or what ??? And love it at the end when the crowd wasn't sure to clap or not !!!

This performance is an orgasm! Only Deep Purple could do a performance like this since 1970s to today.

So, Deep Purple is a musician's band. Literally, every live performance is just like this... constant jam sessions. In fact, no two live performances are alike. That's a pretty phenomenal feat when you consider they've been at this for 50 years now. Also, remember that all these crazy sounds were extremely experimental at the time. No one had ever heard anything like this before. Oh, and the crowd was Japanese. They were very quiet throughout the concert as a show of respect. LOL. They didn't realize that, to the rest of the world, silence at a rock concert is almost offensive. Luckily, Deep Purple figured it out right quick and the Made in Japan album is one of the best live DP albums ever. For the shorter version of this song, check it out on the Machine Head album. It's less than 5 minutes. LOL

At 11:00 the organist Jon Lord starts playing a piece of the movement “Jupiter” from Gustav Holst’s 1918 symphony “The Planets”. The guy had classical training and even composed some classical stuff, check out “Concerto For Group And Orchestra” which Deep Purple played with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 1969. Amazing stuff. No wonder he was often called “The Maestro”.

Where you said ‘what is that’ it is Ritchie Blackmore moving the volume knob on his guitar up and down while playing the notes with his right. I used to think he was perhaps using a violin bow on his guitar until I saw him do it live. Amazing control.

"I was listening to Deep Purple and my face just stayed that way" 😄

15:00 Ritchie on guitar making it sound like a cello. When I first heard this on "Fools" in '72, I thought "Wow! Ritchie is using a violin bow". About a decade ago I bought a DVD of them in concert. Ritchie did the same thing on "The Mule" and was astonished to see him creating that cello sound with his fingers.

That Violin 🎻 was a Fender Stratocaster Guitar 🎸 played by Richie Blackmore

This band wrote the book.

This performance is an orgasm! Only Deep Purple could play this since 70s to today!

Takes you to another place! Incredible

At 13:15 they play their usual “let’s finish this section” cue, a piece from the song “Mandrake Root” from their first album, “Shades Of Deep Purple”, released in 1968.

Totally get the talent overload remark. Good news is kids like me in the early '70's didn't just accept the divide, we were inspired to pick up an instrument and learn to play and still play to this day. God bless DP.

So happy I was stone cold sober when I saw them. Became so euphoric that by the time the band got to Space Truckin' I'd was already there.

DP making sure the crowd wasn't asleep. lol

Jon Lord at around 11.45 and Ritchie Blackmore at around 14.00 helped me through the dentist drilling. I always imagined listening to Space Trucking.

The 'cello' is a guitar, using the volume control to make the note swell

OMG. I was just thinking of the stamina of Ian Paice and then you said the same thing! He IS the GOAT! The musicianship of this band is hands down the best! And as I said before, this is fricking live!

Watching your perma-grin reminds me of the feeling that raw rock and roll played by people who "made their bones" when passionate live performance meant great musicianship as well as brutal volume in place of auto-tune, pyrotechnics and flash. Sounds good, keep it up.

No other band could compare to early to mid-seventies Deep Purple. Journalists had their mouth full and wrote columns about Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep; but, like in the Highlander movies, there could be only one. Deep Purple were the GOAT. Both as a band and as individual musicians. Rick Wakeman from Yes and Keith Emerson from Emerson, Lake & Palmer were Jon Lord's counterparts but both expressed their awe when hearing Lord go about things. Cozy Powell, Ginger Baker and John Bonham all expressed their lack of skill compared to Ian Paice, Alvin Lee wanted to quit playing guitar after having seen Ritchie Blackmore and every bass player wanted Glover's place in whatever band. Ian Gillan was envied by every aspiring singer. That was Deep Purple in those days. Best band in the world through the sum of its musicians.

That’s what the loudest band in the world sounded like in 1973. Gotta remember that while playing those instruments they were rocking that keyboard up and down, swinging and smashing the guitar but always under control. At 10:40 I know the blockbuster hit movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind took their keyboard passage from here.

Great reaction to a great song and great band. Owned this album on Cassette tape. 😀😃😄😁

And to think this was live!

Deep Purple were so talented and very technically band at the time. This mark 2 is their best lineup I think. Please keep doing more Purple reaction. Also check Rainbow, it is the band Ritchie Blackmore founded when he quite Purple. Thanks, nice reaction.

Ritchie is an Expert at Cello, however he is also an Expert at Guitar volume control which is what he's playing.

I always thought that was what dinosaurs sounded like.

J'ai 60 ans et j'écoute toujours Deep Purple ( entre autres ) , et à fond les gamelles .

Thanks for reminding me just how good this recording is. Sonic insanity ... wonderful

It’s Ritchie Blackmore on guitar..and the great Jon lord on Hammond organ..deep purple is the best hard rock band to come out of England..

Best album cover ever.

I read that unlike most live albums,Made In Japan required very little dubbing,so your getting the real deal here,also that Purple were some what reluctant about making a live album at first because they werent sure about how it would do,but it along with the success of Machine Head shot the band to super stardom.

I WAS 15 WHEN THIS CAME OUT...MAN THE LATE 60'S AND 70'S ROCKED!!!

I saw them 6 weeks after they recorded this. I had just turned 14. Was as if I learned all I needed to know, in one night, about music at its best and what it can do. This is the band that fell between the crack betwixt Zepp and Sabbath, yet were just as great and peerless virtuosos to boot. Most people think “Smoke on the water” was all they put out😀. Perhaps too musical, for most head down rock tastes as this incredible piece of structured improvisation attests.

One of the greatest rock organ solos of all time.

All of t 5 members, of this Deep Purple lineup, are leading candidates for the 'title' of GOAT, on their particular instrument/s. Including Ian Paice, on drums. Most people would place John Bonham as number1 but plenty would choose Ian too. :)

Yep, Ian Paice a time keeping monster and the fastest hands in the business. Check out Ian Paice The Mule Drum Solo Denmark 1972, blows your mind how fast and how smooth he is.

That Cello sound you heard was Blackmores guitar.

Friend, Ian Paice is a GOAT,

"What is that?" "A violin or cello?" That how it sounds like when you learned how to bend the strings on an electric guitar and are using a wah wah pedal.

From 15:00 to 15:20 you can listen the taste in play drum by the “guy” Ian Paice .. ;-))

It's not a cello, it's Ritchie Blackmore's guitar.

There are passages here that are absolutely the greatest rock and roll ever made. Yes, culturally, it was respect to be quieter than Western crowds, but having experienced the Burn tour of the lesser Mark 3 Purple in '74, they were also being pulverized by walls of sound few had felt before, during or since. Absolutely dumbfounding.

Thats Ritchie Blackmore on his yellow Strat.

I found this as I wanted to know what sort of following they had, ohter than my age group which are now starting to die off, literally. I have this from '72 whn it came out and it would have been a significant spend, even though Im told it was less than 4 quid. My nephew mentioned it, i dug it out. Yep, cant belive I was only 15/16 when I was listening to it...BTW , my kids hate this stuff....

It's great to see you enjoy this as I did around 47 years ago! I guess it's easy to respect talent. Best wishes👍👍👍

Space Truckin 😮

Ian Paice. The drummer's drummer. Simply.

Meilleur album hard rock de tous les temps

The bes song rock hard Ever. Unique.

High is an even better way

Zeppelin Sabbath Deep Purple they're all great just depends on your mood at the time... I'll have to say though the made in Japan album is incredible energy top-notch. 👌🏼

It's not a cello, dude. It's a guitar! Can you believe it!?

It is a great live album and I believe they didn't want to do it. But it really caught them at the top of their game. 1972 it was just 1972. I really liked the live version of Strange Kind of Woman from it too. Ian Paice is my favourite drummer. Loads of people will name Bonham and so many other great drummers and fair enough but Paice for me.

Blackmore replicates a cello using his pick, not a bow, on his guitar. I saw him do it.

The best band ever

Le echaste dos cojones para elegir el Space Truckin del Japan esos casi 20 minutos son una obra maestra de la improvisación..., la esencia del mejor grupo de hard rock en su plenitud. Todo Made in Japan es una obra maestra.., y si no es en cello es Blackmore con su Strato. Me alegro que disfrutaras, un saludo

AS NIGEL TUFNELL WOULD SAY "THIS IS AN 11\10"

"The crowd" is hyp-mo-tized!

We sometimes do a yu tube evening in turns. To piss everybody off, this is always 1 of my choices and make them listen to the whole version

Guitar tone control

Este tema en vivo, es una BESTIALIDAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do wish they would indulge in this kind of free form jamming when they play live these days, but I get it... it's physically demanding and frankly, after Ian Paice's health issues, we're lucky he's still with us to play at all. It's a different experience seeing them live now than it was in 1972-3, but no less enjoyable. They can just flat out PLAY. Yeah and that's Ritchie using the volume control on his guitar to get that sound. Eddie Van Halen used that same technique on some of his instrumental pieces ("Cathedral").

Lol, no its not a cello but a guitar. If you do hammer ons (hitting the fretboard with your fingers), and at the same time raising the volume on your guitar, you get that sound. At least with a 200w Marshall amp at your back.

I still get blown away by this performance by the band but especially jon and ian 21 1/2 minutes long i don't know of any other drummer who does that and jon what can you say ....

Paicey is relentless 🤟👹❤

a Cello? - no, Blackmore using the volume knob.

Next Ally Venable Band High Octane ( Set 1) Girl 18 Years Old Plays in SRV Style Enjoy.Btw Its Live !

Only 4400 views thats disgraceful ,should be in the millions.Is it cos some people havent the attention of a goldfish

Not a cello, just Ritchie on guitar! :)

LOL. I"m one of the rest of us too.

No cello, it's guitar, done with the volume control

No it's Richie Blackmore using the same thing as Jimmy Page

Not a cello but just an extension of the electric keyboard.

Try E.L.P or The Nice!

cello??no its richie guitar volume effect

Da paura

When you listen to the 10 best drummers on ...loudwire ....ian pace doesn' t even get a mention..John Bonham is ranked number 1 ....

Good stuff man. But I don't see any added value to why I should watch you watching this great track. Frankly it'd be more enjoyable without you. Change my mind, add value... I'll check back soon...
