Deep Purple had the most talent of any rock group.

[@kurtsherrick2066]

Hendrix was at this Concert. Jimmy saw Deep Purple in one of the 3 Concerts that Purple warmed up Cream on their Farewell Tour. Hendrix went into the Dressing Room and said you just blew Cream away. Purple went and partied at Jimmy's House that Sharon Tate was murdered by the Helter Skelter Gang. Jimmy told Jon Lord that you have is special. Ritchie was nicknamed Mr. Speed. Ritchie was the Original Speed Guitarist and Shredder. Jon Jammed two nights with Hendrix in New York with Dave Mason, Buddy Miles and I can't remember the other guy that played with them those two nights. Jimmy loved Lord's Hammond Skills.

Blackmore was vastly superior to Clapton. I knew he was a better player, but did not expect him to be this much better so young.

[@jorkanmx]

That's why Eric Clapton was so jealous with Jimi Hendrix and Ritchie Blackmore and perhaps is the main cause they kicked away Deep Purple of their tour even with the recording of this (specially Ritchie Blackmore could say them they are better than Cream and he is better than Clapton in their face).

[@MrLtia1234]

I've known this performance for years but something occured to me that I've never noticed before. We all know this is a show from them famously supporting Cream and getting kicked off the tour after a few dates. Apocryphal old stories about Clapton being too intimidated by Blackmore are easy to dismiss, as I always have - especially at this stage when he was yet to find his thing with the Strat and was still adjusting from being a showy rock and roll guitarist to what was essentially a psychedelic (but we now recognise as proto prog) band. But here the thing - there's moments on this performance where it sounds ike he's doing a Clapton impression? I hear it in the solo on Kentucky Woman, the very end of Mandrake Root and even the non-scary bits of Wring That Neck seems to sound much more Clapton-like than normal. Could it be that Ritchie was trolling Eric? The fact that he could do that and all that other stuff *and* the Clapton thing might have rubbed him the wrong way? Still more likely that the band were just too bombastic, but it's a nice idea.

[@najmanzainuddin8223]

Knowing he is a practical joker, yeah, maybe you are right Mr RB might have been trolling Mr EC during the show and rubbed him off the wrong way.

[@richardhincemon]

I believe that it was more to do with Ginger Baker having Deep Purple kicked off the tour than Eric Clapton.

[@richardhincemon]

Jimi Hendrix was a guest of Eric Clapton at this show and commented on Richie Blackmore being a great guitar player I hear more Hendrix influences in Blackmore's playing than Clapton's.
