Deep Purple - "Knockin' At Your Back Door (Live)" | ROADIE REACTIONS: REWIND

[@ricguanz3596]

Deep Purple have created an incredible number of fabulous guitar solos

[@SebGeddy]

Ritchie Blackmore doesn't need a bottleneck, the bottleneck needs Ritchie Blackmore 🎸🔥

[@thomasmyrnesrobertsen4594]

Deep Purple got me into music (as listener) with the Perfect Stranger casette. My dads favorit band at the time🤘

[@azraelizdog]

I saw this Tour in Sydney, Australia when they were still at the top of their game. Your Dad and I must be a similar vintage.. Good times, great memories. Thanx for the nostalgia hit Tank and keep rockin".

[@deanblumenthal9050]

Love band..love this song..tx mate

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Also saw Ian Paice with Gary Moore in 1983. Gary Moore and Krokus were opening acts for Def Leppard, but played a show on their own in Battle Creek on a night between Def Leppard shows. Both Krokus and Gary Moore played for 90 minutes each. A good friend of mine caught a drum stick from Ian Paice, that was stamped 'Def Leppard' on the stick 😆

[@Rale85]

One of my three favorite bands

[@chrisumana7644]

Perfect Strangers is my favorite Deep Purple album. Knocking at your Back Door, Perfect Strangers and My Woman is from Tokyo are some of my favorite classic rock songs P.S Ironically I was just listening to Knocking at your Back Door and Perfect Strangers this morning

[@jeffreysouthgate9834]

So good. Saw them back in the day, in the Dome, Brighton, England ( home). Legendary gig - they were so loud, part of the ceiling shook loose !

[@ylianadelgado1569]

Deep Purple is just something amazing, a real legend but I have no words to describe how extraordinary is Ritchie Blackmore!!👏👏👏👏👍

Finally, a professional who appreciates the great Deep Purple. Rip Jon Douglas Lord

[@robinheckenliable574]

I saw them during this tour in Minneapolis. It was insane🤯🤘

[@maggaw9869]

I love this song :) thank you from FI.

[@zdaaaaar]

It was awsome. I hope we are going to see more of your music history 😉

[@Lordgrim1]

This is my favorite deep purple song too !! Cool Tanks

[@liontone]

Made In Japan is a landmark album. A masterpiece.

[@orange70383]

I saw two concerts on this tour, once in Chicago and again in Indianapolis. Both shows were fantastic and extremely loud, great memories'

[@therichieleaks2542]

ahha in this show, in the first song, Blackmore decides do not enter till his solo. In the middle of the keyboard solo he throws a whisky glass at Gillan`s Head. PURE LOVE ERA hahahahaha!!! love your channel dude

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

My first bass guitar was a Peavey Foundation 5. It was black and beautiful and I slung it low. I was 13 years old, and my oldest brother, a guitarist, gave me a list of ten bass guitarists to look up and familiarize myself with. They were Geddy Lee, Roger Waters, Chris Squire, Geezer Butler, Jaco Pastorius, John Entwistle, John Deacon, Steve Harris, Larry Graham, and Roger Glover (he'd add Jack Bruce, Noel Redding, John McVie, and Tina Weymouth to the list over the next year). I knew of them all already except for Jaco and Larry, but my brother wanted me to really dig deep into their playstyles. I liked Glover so much that when the only keyboardist in my high school was looking to play a set including "Perfect Strangers" at our school's talent show, I jumped at the chance. I held on to that Foundation 5 for years, only trading it in toward ordering my first Warwick, and I cried a few tears walking out of that shop without it.

[@pikyarte]

Deep purple... Wow... They are the stone key of what become rock music after them... 🤘🎶❤️

[@dennisueland8146]

I saw them in '85. The opening act was Giuffria. People were not pleased. Great show.

[@Distortion360]

The best!! Ritchie Blackmore is the best hands down. He paved the road for a lot of guitarists! Hope you can check out the latest singles from the new lineup with Simon Mcbride! He fits like a glove and pays homage to Blackmore and Morse.

[@darrellbeam8053]

Thank you! Haven't heard this in years and years.

[@jessief5047]

Nostalgia 😍 love this song 😍

[@SilentChaos15]

Someone looks refreshed. Good stuff man. I love your reflections and stories. It's really great.

[@dolphin8077]

Five extraordinary musicians. They got a lot of epic songs. Legends for a reason . Forever Purple

[@crispinhenthorn5318]

Bands that inspired great bands, in particular not well known bands that inspired members of a great band would be an interesting journey.

[@Philar72]

I heard John Lord say he was playing the Hammond C3, which surprised me because the B3 is a more commonly used organ. I also believe he has a synthesizer on top of the Hammond which helps out on the "sound effects" that can't be identified as any other instrument. And of course there is a piano keyboard perpendicular to the Hammond for songs like Woman From Tokyo. Yes, John Lord is my favorite rock n roll keyboard player of all time.

[@Sherrodja]

I'm 58 and grew up listening 🎧 to Deep Purple. I agree, highly underrated.

[@tomvenner6030]

Seen them twice in last 5 years. Once with Edgar Winter abd Alice Cooper, then with Judas Preist. Awesome, Gillan still pretty god for a guy over 70!

[@johnjohn37371]

Man, making me both happy and sad at the same time....Perfect Strangers tour was first major arena concert I ever attended without an adult. I was 13 and had the time of my short life..feeling kinda old at the moment, but thank you so much for triggering a wonderful memory...

[@richardlundberg1111]

My all time favorite band. Miss Jon Lord. Love what Ritchie is doing with 'Blackmore's Night'. Check out Ian Gillan Band with Bernie Torme & John McCoy. Roger Glover's 'Butterfly Ball' is a classic.

[@NYMetsNo1]

The way you feel about this lineup is the same way I feel about Blackmore, Dio, Bain, and Powell in Rainbow 🌈 .

[@TankTheTech]

Yes!!!

[@thomaspurvis8047]

Don't forget Tony Carey on keyboards. He had some fantastic stuff in that line up of Rainbow

[@bosunbones.8815]

Yeah. Wont deny Deep Purple but Rainbow Rising must be one of my most played mp3 track lists.

[@j.j.4150]

Which just lasted 1 album lol

[@runkkariruune]

Ritchie Blackmore's hands on his guitar are like, pardon my French, stroking a cat on this one. Which fit this song perfectly, and would also, even on a perfect stranger, heh. Miss my wife (and two daughters) in Prague, so I'm drinking, watching great reactions on KZbin, and writing off-colour comments... A baby monitor, that brings back memories. Enjoy every second, truly special moments. Greetings from Finland, again!

[@geoffspratt3689]

Thanks for bringing back such memories. I was lucky enough to see Deep Purple headline the "Return of the Knebworth Fayre" in June of 1985, with this line up. Amazing laser light show went with it as well. "Support" bands were the Scorpions, Meatloaf, UFO and more. Pitied the Scorpions roadies as they played in torrential rain and the roadies kept coming out and sweeping the water off the uncovered front of the stage. Also fan of Ian Gillan's own band of around the same time. Your Dad has very good taste in music

[@TankTheTech]

Yup, been in that same roadie situation having to constantly wipe off the stage. Hahaha. My Dad said he saw that tour in 1985 in the US, with the Scorpions opening as well. 🤘

[@randyblankenship8203]

Bought this album in high school and wore it out. Great album. Perfect Strangers still does it for me

[@danjmcs]

Oh man, Purple, great call man, Perfect Strangers is such a brilliant album. Love hearing your passion on a truly classic and totally under-heard and underrated band.

[@Boerke]

I never really got into Deep Purple during my teens, but maybe I should try listening to more of their stuff again, now that I'm older and more into "late 1900s" (60s, 70s and 80s) rock. Great reaction!

[@sylvester213]

Ah, my childhood heroes the reason i started to play the organ at 8years old after i got a cassette tape with "Deep purple in rock" from a family friend in 1974. I still have them

[@davidmcglone7442]

Superb review. Congrats on the child (in Time?). The guitar was only custom with scalloped frets, for better action.

[@MohJam]

Cut my baby teeth on Deep Purple :) I was at the Adelaide show of the same tour!!! Awesome!

[@andersisberg7658]

I was just a kid when Machinehead came out but I remember it well. I also still remember how pumped I was when Perfect starngers came. Must be one of their best albums. I have been a big fan of DP all my life but only seen them live once. That was in the mid 2000 with Steve Morse on guitar but it was great! Richie have allways been one of my biggest guitargurus. Thanks for this one.

[@anderslofgren8235]

Purple will always have their spot on the firmament of hard rock/metal but you say this is your favorite and I have to ask, have you heard When a Blind Man Cries? It's one of very few songs that brings tears to my eyes.

[@woodxj]

One of my favorite memories of my dad is when he put the Made in Japan 8-track tape into the stereo in the mid to late 80's. I was blown away by the music I was hearing and has influenced the music I tend to gravitate to. Love Deep Purple! You are also correct.... Blackmore > Page.

[@thomaspurvis8047]

Have seen them 4 times(first time in 73, most recently 2018) including this tour in Los Angeles and they always put on a great show. They never had much more than lighting or some sort of backdrop or most recently a video screen but there are times they really go nuts on the laser lights, like during a Blackmore solo. One of my faves in High school!! Ya, I'm old..LOL

[@JasonP407]

4:58 You're always gonna be Tank for us, at least! Any chance we can get Perfect Strangers from this tour? Nice video,bro!

[@thebeerstalker2952]

I had this album on cassette too. It brings back fond memories of walking to/from swim training listening to this on my Sanyo (couldn't afford a Walkman!)

Greetings to your dad. I listened Purple also in the 80’s.

[@AGDinCA]

Ahhh, I love Deep Purple so much - any lineup will do for me (although my faves are Mk2, Mk3 and the current lineup).

[@GiorgioSacchi1982]

Maaaaaan, what a trip you put me into!!! Totally agree with you, they should be way more considered, for their insane musicianship (in live shows they literally shone) and their composition! A hug from another dude who literally consumed at least two cassettes of them, while growing up

[@Greenchileaddict]

John Lord was an amazing keyboardist. Miss his contributions to music. Hush is one of my favorite Deep Purple tracks. I was a freshman in high school when this album was released. It was billed as a reunion or new music album for Deep Purple. It depended on how much of a fan of the band you were.

[@avayor]

What a nice trowback reaction to a great band - had the opportunity to see them live four times in the past 15 years.

[@hannuhanttamakela2673]

Oh man that brought memories ! Got to see them live during their 35th anniversary tour. 2 1/2 hrs, no opening acts and special guest singer was none other than Ronnie James Dio !

[@FatTulip.]

Saw them on this comeback tour, 1985 Knebworth. We stood in the rain and mud all day to see them, but all worth it. Was so excited they reformed after such a time away doing solo projects.

[@FatTulip.]

And as you say, this is THE Deep Purple lineup.

[@steliospots9080]

Rainbow stargazer, mistreated from live in Munich, gates of Babylon.Dio and cozy Powell with Ritchie Blackmore is one of the best line ups ever

[@justsmashing4628]

Please watch Deep Purple Child in Time live 1970...epic :) 105 million views so far

[@JaakkoTK]

Great stuff. Deep Purples Machine Head and In Rock changed my life as a young kid. I heard those records at the first time 40 years ago, I was born end of that same year when they released In rock. Ian Paice ruled the drumming world those early seventies. Of course John Bonham and Cozy Powell were other big names. But I really like Paiceys stuff during those classic MK2 years.

[@Stormerevets]

Oh hell yeah!!! I haven't heard this song in such a loooooong time. First time hearing the live version as well, brings back memories... What a great track! Keep Rockin' Tank, hope all is well...

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

I came to Deep Purple with 'In Rock'. It was the second album I bought after 'Fill Your Head With Rock', the best sampler album IMO, which introduced me to so many artists and bands. I still have over 400 vinyl albums and as many CDs. 'Child in Time' is a favourite of mine. According to Gillan's biography, the song took a toll on his voice, but Blackmore would play the intro to the song at gigs and force him into performing it night after night. Talk about personality clashes!

[@ForathBlack]

WHOO.. Shoutout Melbourne!

[@stringBASSicx]

Perfect Strangers was my first Deep Purple concert. After all the 80's synth stuff that was happening, Jon Lord's Hammond was such a breath of fresh air. In fact this album was my gateway to DP.... They have such a great back catalog - my only beef is 60's/70's era recording - pretty narrow compared to today, but oh the music!

[@tonyg7143]

same as yourself, I grew up with Deep Purple; the live stuff in particular! for me personally the best album they put out was Deep Purple in Concert 1974-76 a collection of live performances that are simply stunning, favourite song Mandrake Root :)

[@Andreas813]

My Dad is really into this band too! Especially this lineup. I was never really that into it but I enjoyed listening to them anyway. In 2001 we got to see them, sans Blackmore of course, when they came to my town and it was a great night. We didn't get this song though. Gonna see if I can get this DVD somewhere. So thanks for a splendid birthday gift idea for my dad! Cheers!

[@Brummiemartin]

Ian Paice was the cousin of a Latin teacher at my school...oh those were the days lol. I remember the 84 "tour" or rather their appearance at Knebworth in the UK (and that's a whole other adventure) We were saying back then, that Gillan had "lost it", and that the "Screaming 70's" Gillan was gone for good. Looking after the voice wasn't so important back in those days when "alternatives" in the form of white powders and alcohol were more attractive. Sadly, Gillan has gone from bad to worse over the years, with fans leaving the last Deep Purple concert I went to, wondering if replacing him with David Coverdale (again) wouldn't be such a bad idea. A bit more early 80's history...Ian Gillan had a band with Bernie Torme (Guitar) John McCoy (Bass) Colin Towns (Keyboard) & Mick Underwood (drums) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHqQoaKVr6lkndU Jon Lord and Ian Paice joined David Coverdale in Whitesnake kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpfUXqisjrutaM0 Roger Glover joined Ritchie Blackmore in Rainbow kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJu3kn2lZ9Npnrs .... ...and then all that got kicked into the air again when Deep Purple reformed in 1984

[@andrewcarter1747]

Some Deep Purple, awesome. I'm not a huge fan as I just haven't got around to enough of their stuff but Child in Time blows me away, especially the Made in Japan version.

Saw Deep Purple on their 1984 tour, in downtown Flint, MI at a high school football field (now a college field). Blackfoot was the opening act :)

[@kenklein4783]

Oh Hell Yeah! DP is my favorite Hard Rock band of all time, please check out some Rainbow videos! The vocal harmonies on the studio track, I believe, are Ian's own vocals layered on top of each other.

[@michaeltriola3978]

Smoke on the Water is of course the first guitar riff I ever learned, as it is for 99% of players lol. Such an underrated band as you said, incredible guitar work! The uncut strings though...my #1 pet peeve haha

[@aslakrantakokko5347]

Thank you so much for visiting some old-school rock. I have been waiting for this eagerly :-) And so true that bands like DP are too much underrated by younger generation. Maybe those who like to watch your great reactions will learn something totally new now :-) Deep Purple paved the way for many many bands to come. The idols of your idols one could easily say :-) Machine Head is their ultimate best album. No fillers, just killers and classics. The best live album of all times, Made in Japan. All musicians present such individual talent and their playing is soooo tight. Pure virtuosity. Cheers Tank, keep safe, keep healthy, greetings from an old-school fart from Finland :-) P.S. Roger Glover`s bass is nowadays a french made bass called Vigier. I have had one and it was the best bass I have ever played. Why RG is playing rather unknown bass, behind that there is a story you should read some day :-)

[@Zarthaz1]

DP is my number one band since 1970 and yeah, helluva band, always was. Re Jimmy Page, he is a good producer..... :P Seen DP at this venue a few times, maybe one more time if they do a farewell tour. Iirc the Perfect Strangers launched in Australia and started off in Perth. Was just shopping for a new strat, and it will be a white one :) Blackmore, the greatest.. My son is same age as you virtually, he doesn't do much Deep Purple, but is a total Rainbow fan.

[@douglaslang578]

I hadn’t seen that vid. Very cool! Good review, sir!👍👍👍👍

[@janfertan5414]

Became a fan last year after "Throw My Bones" from their new album popped up in my KZbin suggestions and maybe it's because I listened to their new stuff first but I like the current lineup more. Their old albums like In Rock or Fireball are still awesome and I really hope Corona is finally under control this summer so I can see them live in october here in germany. Also funny that you're mentioning Ian Anderson sine I went to one of his concerts 2015 together with my dad. It's awesome how many legends are still active

[@AGDinCA]

YES!!! That's my favorite track from the album, too!!

[@TheRealCoyote]

I always liked DP but kind of like you I really started to appreciate them later in life. I'm a rock and metal guy who can not understand guys who dis DP. Happy to say I've seen them live as well. It was awesome even if it was much later in their carreers. Props to your dad for introducing you to proper music and even naming you after one of his favorites.

Man, I had absolutely no clue that you were a Purple fan! This is awesome! My all-time number one. Are you familiar with "Hard Lovin' Man"? For me, it's like proto-thrash metal. It's a freight-train-derailing-of-a-song! I do agree that Mk2 is the best Purple, but love all the MK's nonetheless. Last 3 albums are great! Also, I got introduced to Purple by my dad too.

[@mormegil85]

My dad and I agree on Ritchie Blackmore! I think he is more technical and precise than Page, and that makes him a better guitarist. The stuff he does in Blackmore's Night shows this even more (without distortion you have to be technical and precise). I also think that being in a band with another melodic instrument (keyboards) helps him a bit, because in Zeppelin Page had the only melodic instrument most of the time (except when JPJ played keyboards or other stringed instruments), and he had to do melody and harmony and it is not easy on a guitar.

[@peterwilliams6289]

I was at the second Sydney show in this tour (it was meant to be the first, but they added one before it) - the one George Harrison joined for an encore. The show was great but the sound was terrible - the mixing desk was in front of the stage which was a dead spot in that venue and I could hear drums, bass and any ONE of the others fine, but as soon as everyone came in it was just white noise. Still glad to have been there for the experience! But it's really good to see the videos of what I actually went to hear!!

[@MarkHodgettsWriter]

I was there. Saw them twice in three days. They deliberately stripped the show down to bare basics to showcase the music - no dry ice, bare minimum lighting (remember Rainbow used the big Rainbow at one stage) It was incredible. Blackmore and Lord dueling with each other was breathtaking. I'm with you Ritchie is better than Page. H e was doing stuff back in 75 , 76 that no-one else bothered to even try.

[@m2alvaro]

got to see them with Steve Morse and Don Airey in 2003 and 2017. It's incredible, don't miss out if you have the chance. I mean, when fucking corona is wiped out, of course

[@peterwilliams6289]

Ian Paice is wearing such a typical Aussie outdoor hat from the 80s. :-) I think Blackmore didn't use the slider on the guitar for the studio version - a nice change-up live. In their "sabatical" from DP, Ian Paice and Jon Lord also joined Tony Ashton for the excellent, very different, and underrated Paice-Ashton-Lord album, along with some other duos.

[@TankTheTech]

Totally forgot about that!

[@SilentChaos15]

Blackmore is so underrated. Page is good and I respect and appreciate his talent but I do agree, over time, his reputation precedes with people who aren't familiar with Page.

[@Jaageful]

i'm so lucky that in my youth there was Deep Purple, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Motörhead, Metallica and many that kind of bands to guide me in to world of rock. It gives you good foundation to follow new bands.

[@bobhoward7427]

Brings back memories. I went to one of the Sydney concerts which I think was a couple of days before and it was bloody awesome (and very loud). I've seen DP six times now and the Mark II lineup is my favourite (seen that lineup 3 times). I've also seen Led Zeppelin live (in the early 70's) and IMHO DP were better (but I love both bands). Music sort of died for me in the 90's but has been rekindled because of Nightwish. Please continue reviewing more DP especially some of their lesser known stuff like Rat, Bat Blue & Place in Line. Awesome stuff mate.... :)

¡Si, estoy totalmente de acuerdo!

[@kernelpanic5198]

Made in Japan is probably one of the best live album I ever listened, if not the best... I partucularly love the Child in Time, giving me goose bumbs every single time, even after years ! I finally found a video version of that concert, not exactly the same song selection than the album, but thats a definite killer, you can even see Gilian crying for real when screaming on Child in Time. Thank you Tank. By the way Vigier is a French guitar company so try to pronounce it the French way, with er pronounced é at the end.

[@erikrandan7294]

If I remember, John Lord's main organ early on was a Hammond C3 run into a Marshall Plexi. Around the time they did "Burn" (another amazing album, but featuring David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes), he had started incorporating the Leslie speaker as well, amongst other synths and modulators. In regards to Blackmore's amps, if you ever get the chance to try his ENGL signature model, it is fantastic!!!
