California Jam - FIFTY YEARS - Burn and Mistreated With Deep Purple (April 6, 1974)

[@marceloxvabreu6845]

Ritchie Blackmore is the master of guitar.

[@zenica12]

He sure is, my friend. The very best

[@claudevieaul1465]

Still brilliant. And the funny thing is: Glenn Hughes is STILL singing like this, 50 years on.... 😎👍🙏

[@MrCrrispy]

He steals the show there, knowing that all others are already amazing!

[@Michael-nf1ej]

50 years of ROCK! Blackmore's sound! DC's voice, Glenn's screaming voice and cranking bass, Jon Lord's BIG organ and Ian's fast hands! WHA? Deepest Purple!..

[@Deltan1967]

Absolutely phenomenal performance! I didn't know that Jon Lord had a BIG organ, he was always standing behind his keyboards.

[@combatshox]

going to see them on my birthday for the first time. 09/11/ 24 Ok no ritchie.But ive seen everybody else .Why not.

[@eppuee5413]

Jon Lord what a Master of hammonds ✊

[@victhedude417]

Yep, I was there. I was 11 days away from turning 18. Sabbath, Deep Purple, ELP...easily my absolute favorite bands at that time and ALL on the same stage!!! Cal Jam will always top my list of greatest concert day EVER!

[@davepage2466]

Do you remember where the location was? South or North side of the 10 freeway?

[@vitalik26-sibir]

Круто, я вам завидую , я только родился в 1979 году, привет из России🤟👍🤝🤘👌

[@victhedude417]

@@davepage2466 I want to say south side, only because I was coming from Canoga Park. Heading south.

[@davepage2466]

@@victhedude417 Thanks! I'll have to do some research because this event happened when I was 10 days old-so things have changed a bit!

[@starlink58]

How was the sound there?

[@nikospaleologos3907]

This is Rock music... Unbelievable amount of talent on a stage together.

[@davidevacca2809]

Dear DC, we have to thank YOU 💜

[@marcionogueira5380]

Wow!!! One of the best live performance ever!!!!

[@eppuee5413]

Coverdale is great SInger and they are all fantstic players you must love this finest band In the world 🇫🇮😜🤪😁

[@HarleyBob957]

Wow..memories.. I loved Deep Purple.. I was 18 in 1974. Just graduated high school, loved tripping and going to concerts.. The good ol days..

[@deepzepp4176]

Power of DC’s vocal. Fantastic stuff.

[@frankzappa0815]

What a great Concert

[@jaredthode562]

What a VOICEEEEE

[@holydiver73]

Just finished watching the entire show on my well worn VHS I’ve had since about 1988 😂😂. Happy 50th CalJam

[@Heavymetalwarrior]

Legendary ❤️‍🔥

[@JojoJack]

Rock was so intense at that time that we can't believe this show took place just 5 years after Woodstock! Imagine all the songs, all the albums in just 5 or 6 years... Today it would take DECADES to match all that creativity from '69 to '74. Unbelievable...

[@timothyvonvictory7105]

Facts

[@timothyvonvictory7105]

This is lightyears beyond anything at Woodstock and in just five years. Crazy man.

[@lennybobbio35]

We were there. Drove up from San Diego that evening. Was hoping to see some kind of long couple of hours special. A lot of us are in our 70’s now but, We Still Rock.

[@patrickhill3260]

That guy sitting on the scaffolding watching the band is one lucky dude.

[@Katerina9256]

😄 I was just noticing that fellow

[@daves4645]

That was me.

[@DavyoInVegas]

50 Years ago and I was there, WTF. 16 years old, drove from Las Vegas and brought two girlfriends of mine along. To this day it was one of the best experiences of my life and I remember it vividly like it was yesterday so I’m definitely freaking out that it was 50 years ago. All the bands were great, especially Deep Purple and ELP. The sound was amazing, I was sitting pretty much in the middle of crowd semi close to the stage with the speaker towers behind me, the perfect sweet spot for the sound. I’m still a rocker and a working professional musician in Vegas to this day, going to the Cal Jam I guess has kept me young 😊. I remember there was a very attractive skinny girl sitting close by me that noticed I was totally checking her out, if you are her and you’re reading this hit me back, or have your daughter contact me 😅 Love, Davyo

[@schwoissfuass8180]

April 06th,1974, a historic day in pop and rock history: a then still unknown Swedish band called ABBA win the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton, England with "Waterloo", I saw it on TV as an almost 8-year-old (my first Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson, as it was called back then) - the starting signal for an incredible career and on that day Deep Purple played as co-headliners with Emerson, Lake and Palmer at the Cal Jam and 30 years later Jon Lord from Deep Purple and Anni-Frid Lyngstad from ABBA recorded songs together - sometimes the world is that small...

[@JuanParadigma]

I was three years old in that month of 1974; Deep Purple great👏

[@fazlyizwan]

I was born 13 April 1974 ...ha ha ha ! DC is legend !!

[@anatolikireev1054]

Super ! Bravo!

[@billpet4602]

The most powerful versions ever.

[@johnforan2973]

Incredible. Outstanding. So emotional and into it. Deep Purple are not underrated but to some of the Gen Z'ers may be. Wake up younger GENS. Friggan Deep Purple! Listen to Highway Star cranked with a nice sound and close your eyes without any interruption. So tight.

[@erikarvidsson-hv8df]

Omg, burn.. so good! 🥰

[@JojoJack]

What a concert!

[@drazj]

They all just killing it, amazing performance and line-up 👍

[@FPChris]

Outstanding.

[@markand274]

From memory… Never been to California before, never been to America before… make him welcome, David Coverdale! What an amazing performance. I remember seeing this on In Concert in 1974, and I became a huge fan of Purple!

[@ПетърИванов-ю9й]

Me too! Greetings from Bulgaria, Europe!Long live DP 'Rock for ever!🎉

[@harripekkonen723]

Wow! DC Power!

[@Lemopalm]

[@nydialopez3979]

Much Euphoria! Happy 50 Anniversary!! 💜💜💜💜💜

[@christianhalapowerstation1542]

My musical love starts with "Burn" and of course with DC...until today. DC forevermore. ....and I have to say it once: Thank you DC for 50 years of great musical support!!!

Watching at sunset 4/6/2024, exactly 50 years since I watched the ABC broadcast on TV in '74. Hard to believe how fast time flys...tempus fugit.

[@みき-c1n]

最高😆❤️❤️❤️

[@michaelborgelt1600]

Saw they on the tour as a fifteen year old teen with my one year younger brother on 23 march 1975 in DORTMUNDER WESTFALENHALLE. And we both have the original tickets ; - )

[@francescozappa5915]

I was there with my buddy, Chuck. We drove in from Las Vegas and spent the night at a friends place. We were 5 minutes from the Ontario Motor Speedway. Took the back roads to get there. Great time!!! Damn I'm OLD!!!!

[@SergiusLigurAugustus]

The Song of a Life!!!

[@comanche.8165]

Velho e bom rock and roll,d+

[@ollid.5590]

Great indeed! I mean, I love the Coverdale/Hughes/Blackmore songwriting. And I can only imagine how amazing spring 1974 was. Queen had their breakthrough with their album „Queen II“, KISS released their debut album, UFO finished recordings of „Phenomenon“, Rush released „Working Man“ etc. Along with all these amazing news around, this Cal Jam event must have been THE highly anticipated and electrifying festival for rock and hardrock fans. Simply WOW!!!!

[@-Atmos1]

Awesome

[@leddygee1896]

Seems like only yesterday... I'm sure I speak for my generation when I say Rock n' F@ckin' Roll!!

Легендарному California Jam 50 лет!.. Какие мы старые! А музыка - вечная!

[@hunnieluvs]

I was 16 at that time and was there.. 50 years ago, I made my way to Ontario Speedway, right up front for the Greatest Day in Rock Music History ❤️Ritchie Blackmore threw his guitar out into the crowd and it went flying past my head 😮But overall My Favorite Concert of All Time for sure…. Thank you Cal Jam for a Most Memorable Day❤️✌🏻

[@andypalin3287]

Prefer Mk2 but Burn is my fave Purple track! Work that one out! 😵

[@leepassmore7032]

I think it's a better riff than Smoke on the Water.

[@Mike-x9h5f]

my thoughts exactly

[@andypalin3287]

You're probably right! Remember listening to this performance on the Friday Rock Show back in the day! 😀

[@ДмитрийГасюта]

Super!

[@pauljackson1981]

Very Rare Shot of Blackmore smiling LOL

[@ivanstafford1642]

Still just amazing half a century on 🤟🤟🇬🇧

[@melektaus1571]

The best from the best...❤❤❤

[@machinehead6564]

Great Stuff

[@scottnoricsson2023]

I wish I had that Stratocaster, beautiful piece, and performance was killer ,especially the getaway part (Blackmore called for a chopper) after the explosion

[@Paul-qo1hb]

Fifty years half a century.

[@schreds]

as a 12 yr old and this being one of my first concerts it certainly set the bar very very high ,, i remember finally getting home and my folks just absolutely freaking out from what they had seen on the news they thought i for sure was just going to be lost forever ,, i just laughed

[@tzveta1242]

Legend! The best! Amazing!💕

[@Yo-ti2tm]

Great!!🙌

[@WillyAffentranger-jb1oi]

Mein Schwager ist von los Angeles, sie hatten ein Haus in san José, ich hatte das Glück einmal in meinem leben in Amerika gewesen zu sein. Es war meine beste Zeit in meinem fast 63 jährigen leben, das klima, die leute levi strauss jeans zum abwinken. Ich besuchte natürlich alcatraz und fuhr über die golden-gate bridge nach sausolito. Ich habe das geschrieben, weil ich Kalifornien soo liebe und das Konzert ganz in der nähe stattfand. Cheers folks.

[@danielaquino6904]

Eu tinha -7 nessa época. Curto pra caramba até hoje 😂

[@markorollo.]

7 months before i was born, if only i'd been born 20 years sooner lol.

[@deathound98]

Jesus christ, this is the best performance I've ever seen! Can't even imagine what it was like for all this people watching this concert live.

[@patriciapowell6047]

LOL one of the opening acts was Earth Wind & Fire...

[@peternorris3286]

I'm going to get slated for this but this in my opinion was the best version of purple

[@acordesativo]

Great

[@zulkafli4091]
