When I heard Turner was going to be in Deep Purple, I didn't want anything to do with it. But when Slaves And Masters was released I was at a party that had the radio on and I heard King of Dreams. At the time I commented to people that this band is going to be the new Deep Purple - then I found out it WAS Deep Purple! That became one of my favorite albums - I saw them on that tour with Winger.

Mark 2 is my absolute favorite lineup. My bass player at the time turned me on to the In Rock album and I was blown away. After hearing Paice's triplet and roll around the kit on the end of Flight of The Rat, he became an early drumming hero. Never saw this lineup but I did see Purple on the Burn tour. I thought that album was Mark 3's best moment. Mark 2 just had the most consistently good material. Perfect Strangers was a testament to their musical chemistry. Jon Lord is still my number one hard rock keys player. He made that Hammond scream! A highlight for me was getting to meet Blackmore back in the day. Another excellent job, Pete

Mark I is underrated. As is Rod Evans. Common narrative has it that Rod was 'too Pop' for Purple. But by the second and third album, the band were already laying the groundwork for Heavy Metal (and even Power Metal) with tunes like 'The Shield' and 'Bird Has Flown'. He went on to do Captain Beyond after being ousted, and the dude was the total package at that point. Great singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and that band was _heavy._

In Rock changed my life. I let my friend borrow it and it think it took me about a year to get it back. I have the original release without Black Night. Or my ex wife has it. To me In Rock is my favorite studio album. It was actually recorded in a old school turned community center. Uriaheep was recording in the next room. Also after the Casino Burned down they tried to record in a place before the Grand Hotel. I believe that place is where Smoke On The Water was recorded. They kept the town up and the music was echoing through the mountains. They road crew held the door shut because the police we're trying to get in so Purple could finish the song. Then they had to find another place and Clyaud found the Grand Hotel where the rest of the album was finished.

I love every era Deep Purple has had throughout their years, but my favorite era has always been and still is Mark 3. I love both albums Burn and Stormbringer big time. As good as Steve Morse is as a guitar player, Ritchie Blackmore will always be my favorite guitar player from Deep Purple. Many members of Deep Purple also did amazing work even after Deep Purple disbanded for some time. David Coverdale with Jon Lord did amazing work with Whitesnake, Ritchie Blackmore did amazing work with Rainbow and Roger Glover joined late 70's, and Ian Gillan did an amazing album with Black Sabbath Born Again. I have seen Deep Purple live back in 2002 with Scorpions and Dio and it was an amazing show. I would have loved to have seen them Ritchie Blackmore. Yngwie Malmsteen was my all time favorite guitar player for at least thirty years, but last year is when I finally became a huge Deep Purple and Rainbow fan and Ritchie Blackmore became my favorite guitar player ever. I am a huge fan of live albums and in the past year I have gotten many of Deep Purple's live albums. I love the Paris 1975 Ritchie Blackmore's last show at the time big time. I love the Copenhagen 72 better than Made In Japan, In Concert 70 and 72 is amazing, California Jam 74 is amazing, Stockholm 70,and one of the recent ones I got Live In Stuttgart 1993 are all amazing. I still have a few more to get because like you said Deep Purple never played their songs the same way at every show they did.

Deep Purple are the most under-rated band in rock. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame only in 2016 and you will rarely find the band or its members making any Top Ten lists, except for Jon Lord (keyboards) & that is because there are fewer keyboard players in rock, as compared to guitarists & drummers. IMHO, at the very least Deep Purple as a band, Blackmore (guitar) & Paice (drums) belong in the top ten in Rock & Top Five in Hard Rock. Deep Purple & Led Zeppelin are my favorites by far, and along with Black Sabbath form the Un-Holy Trinity of Hard Rock. And their "Made in Japan" is one of the best 'live' albums ever in Rock.

The 'Rock and Roll Hall of Fame' folks do not know the meaning of either 'rock & roll' or 'fame' ... the only thing they have is a 'hall'. You should see the bunch of losers who ARE in the R&RHoF ... all of them put together do not amount to Deep Purple. Wiki : Frequent criticism of the 'Hall of Fame' is that the nomination process is controlled by a few individuals who are not themselves musicians, such as Jann Wenner (co-founder/editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone magazine), Jon Landau, Suzan Evans, and writer Dave Marsh, reflecting their personal tastes rather than the views of the rock world as a whole. British punk rock band 'The Sex Pistols', inducted in 2006, refused to attend the ceremony, calling the museum "a piss stain". 'Velvet Underground' has dismissed the Hall of Fame as the "Hall of Lame".

As for the MKII reunion trilogy...I would rank the studio albums: The Battle Rages On...House of Blue Light....Perfect Strangers. They're ALL solid albums, but as you said, TBRO is pretty damn good....It's no wonder I reach for it the most often. Next album after TBRO, Purpendicular....made me a believer they could continue on.

A very good overview with a few errors/omissions. The biggest is Glover's leaving. Blackmore wanted him out--feeling as he and Gillan started in Episode 6, Glover would be a problem. Jon Lord offered him the job as A&R man for the newly-formed Purple Records, where he produced Elf and the under-rated concept album Butterfly's Ball. Perhaps his bringing Glover back in Rainbow was as close to Ritchie ever came to admitting a mistake.

Thanks for a great retrospective of one of my favourite bands ever. For me, Deep Purple and Yes are an interchangable 1A-1B. I've listened to them both since 1973. Actually, the very first time I ever got stoned my brother played Made In Japan and Yessongs and they indelibly imprinted themselves on my brain. There's a Norwegian band called Magic Pie that i've loved since I first hear Circus Of Life. Have you mentioned them at all?

1968 MC5 supported DP in Detroit and DP saw the massively influential band closely. So they decided to turn into fast rough but soloing rock like MC5 did. Later, Glover was asked to join because he had reputation as a good songwriter and DP lacked it. Glover suggested Gillan too and they accepted him because Evans had lost enthusiasm a lot.

Fireball has that great title track, but basically a dud. Also, Ritchie said that Led inspired him to go the riff-rock way for In Rock etc. He wrote all the songs but split the credit equally the 5 ways so he could do things his way - which turned out to be astounding!

A dud? You're kidding, it reached No1 in UK so can hardly be called a dud. Not a killer riff laden album like In Rock but some really good strong songgs on there. Btw, most of the music may have come from Ritchie for In Rock but the lyrics were from Gillan & Glover.

Why is it that these Zeppelin fanboys think Zeppelin influenced everything and everyone??? I read the other day someone saying Zeppelin influenced Jimi Hendrix. Delusional!

DP is my favorite band together with Yes. Blackmore influenced my guitar playing like no other and continues being my favorite guitar player. Machine Head and In Rock are up on the list. Ian Paice is one the greatest drummers of all time - he is very under-rated; Gillan best singer with tremendous vocal range. Lord changed the way the Hammond was played. Favorite songs: Lazy, Highway Star, Burn.
Damn , I thought I was there greatest fan, being a drummer, playing like Paice! I will say though, when Stormbringer came out, I was 21. I had moved on from the band. To me, None of the albums that followed were like mk 2. That is, always will be Deep Purple! Love your take.. on a top notch, killer band!

Great video! Purple is one of those bands I always wanted to get into but never seemed to get around to. May be time to right that.

I have only watched a couple of your vids and you have made note of some of my favorite albums that even my closest music buddies diidnt like or listen to. As a Yes fan I have appreciated every line up change, even the Horn and Rabin eras. Even though Bruford is my favorite Yes drummer and Anderson defines the sound, Drama is arguably my #1. However its version 2 of Deep purple for me or nothing. No strait ahead Rock band ever had such a distinct sound. I cant imagine Deep purple without Gillian or Lord. And Richie Blackmore is Deep Purple from a guitar perspective. You could make a case for the rhythm section too. I am not a big fan of simple Rock bass style but Glovers lines contribute to the sound of the band and compliment Ian Paices' loud beats and non stop fills. It all just worked perfect. They were probably the one Rock band that pushed the boundries of progressive while staying in the hard rock genre. I even prefer Perfect Strangers to anything from any other lineup than version 2 Its bad enough they replaced on of the all time to this day greatest ever Rock voices with someone else but replace him with a guy who has always sounded like a cheesy early 80s overachieving bar band singer. Cloverdale is the voice of the turn point of hard rock as it went south. Its no surprise he went on to make a living from replacing Hugh rock voices in new versions of bands that sounded like parodies of themselves. My perspective. Awesome channel and subbed. Great taste in music similar to mine (the fusion stuff too) but a much deeper knowledge of different artist.

Great overview Pete concise and well researched.I think the 25th Anniversary should have been THE time when they got the MK1 , and MK3 ex -members for a big gig/TV concert.Ian Gillan was first to hand in his resignation in late /72?Giving Purple 6 months notice. Prior to Glover's departure in '73 it was Blackmore who was going to leave and the Purple's management initially approached Glover,Lord & Paice to carry on without him. Blackmore who had initially wanted to form a trio with Paice and Phil Lynott (Baby Face) then said he would stay if they got another bass player in .Glover started to get the cold shoulder from Lord & Paice whilst on the last tour,unaware of Richie's change of heart/position! Ritchie's infamous few words to Glover on that last MK2 tour was 'It's not personal,it's business''.Glover bounced back as record producer and the 'Butterfly Ball' album to name but a few.

Deep Purple in Rock only had one rival in terms of heaviness at the time - Mott the Hoople's Brain Capers. Because Mott weren't a really big band until All the Young Dudes, their early heaviness has been a bit obscured.
