R.I:P Jon Lord. The greatest keyborder of the world passed away and now he is playing his serenades in heaven.

Jon Lord. Keyboard master. A rock legend, Him and Ritchie. The best keys guitar combination ever?

Ruhe in Frieden, Jon. Deine Musik war meine Jugendzeit.

One of the greatest group of all time. I'm an 70s and 80s rocker the best years ever.

Purple is still great. Just heard them 8 months ago with "songs that built rock". Gillan was in amazing vocal form, the best I`ve heard from him in many years. The rest of the band played superbly. Bananas is one of Purples best albums. Deep Purple is still Deep Purple. I`m sure Jon Lord would agree. R.I.P., Jon, the best rock organist ever and a wonderful person.

Setlist: • Highway Star • Nobody’s Home • Strange Kind of Woman • A Gyspsy’s Kiss • Perfect Strangers • Under The Gun • Lazy • Knocking At Your Back Door • Solos • Space Truckin’ • Woman From Tokyo • Black Night • Smoke On The Water

Thank you for sharing this show!

YOU are right --Deep Purple is simply great and i will love them till i die . The whole band is amazing .

Great Work, Jon Lord! You were the world's best Keyboardist/ Hammond C3 Player and will always be it, forever R.I.P. Jon

JOn Lord was an excellent player, the heart of deep purple great player

Deep Purple its not my Generation but this Band is the Godfather of Rock. I love it

DP fan from BG since 1971. R.I.P Jon 'Hammond' Lord. You tear down the wall and shape my world! Thank you!

"Deep Purple" is playing freely on the rock music. A fabulous cocktail of rock, classical music and blues !!!

du grand deep purple on sans lasse pas

the greatest band of all time, MKII line-up at its best, reunion of 1984, which led to the release of another classic album perfect strangers. Paice, Lord, Blackmore, Gillan and Glover !!! They're The Masters... The most underrated band of all time !!! nobody can come close to deep purple and their live performances... ritchie's technique is ineffably awesome !!!

Thank For Uploader.. We .. People Who Live In Places Where Never Could Watch This Deep Purple In Concert Or Watch To Richie Playing .. Are Grateful

Personally darn glad these guys have been part of my life in music and past imperfect is what still makes it great!

Watching this footage, I still marvel over the fact that 'Perfect Strangers' was basically a reunion album. Can anyone remember the last "reunion" album that was worth anything more than the vinyl it was pressed on? Not me! Despite the complaints about Ian's voice, I think he held it together pretty well here. Thank you for posting!

Perfect Strangers. My favorite Deep Purple album

Please don't be too tough on Ian's vocals. Don't forget that by this time (1985) he was a forty year old and singing this repertoire is going to test anyone. I should know. I sing lead vocals in a Deep Purple tribute band and nothing gave me more respect for his voice than trying to sing these songs. I can't imagine fronting up night after night to sing this stuff.

The band was on fire! Too bad Gillan was ill and couldn't deliver but hey, he tried! Well done, lads.

A reunion but you really can't go back. Still this version of the band will always be the best.

Floyd, thanks for the GREAT upload , very much appropriated.................

Blackmore smiles- Wow!

i love deep purple

Ritchie, you are from the greatest guitarists of the world.

GRACIAS por subirlo esta bueniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisimo

Grazie per aver postato il video.

I am so glad I got to see this tour.

grandisimo grupo, esta alineación fué lo mejor de la banda, recuerdo que estuve a la espera del disco luego de que se anunció la reunión, recuerdo como los primeros segundos de knocking at your back door fueron muy emotivos.

Nice! Thanks for putting this up. I was lucky enough to see them that year in San Antonio,TX.

Thanks for the upload!!

Saw a concert that was part of this tour in Brisbane, Australia - it was awesome!!!!

It's great seeing this on here! I saw Deep Purple in 1993 (yes, the Mark 2 version), and they put on a slamming live show! It's a shame that Jon ain't with us no more, but his part in Deep Purple will not be forgotten!

Awesome Thijs3FM thanks for uploading this. Especially in light of Jon Lord's recent passing.

great Jon Lord playing " Toccata " of Bach....

Great job at filming. Sound is pretty good too! One of my all time favorite bands w/ original lineup Awesome. One of the first concerts I went to back in "72. Thankx for the wonderfull memories!

superb! thanks for this...merry xmas all dp fans!

СВЕРХгруппа !Джон Лорд покинул нас рано...

Que formação clássica!! valeu Thijs3FM por ter enviado essa preciosidade!!show show..... a banda totalmente afinada..mais um grande show no rockpalast.

Greatest 1st concert @ 15, never to forget... Had to see the show again, as if I forgot. It was a hell of a reality check. Miss the old Arena shows!!!!

Thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing, i saw Them in 1987 in Ahoy Rotterdam in the Netherlands, one of my first concerts and a good memory. Jon Lord was very great on the organ!

It's normal that Ian Gillan was not That good he was sick, but he still made the concert... The singers of today if break a nail don't go to the stage, so Ian Gillan deserves all the credit.

deep purple forever in my heart

saw this tour at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin one of the Best Shows Ive ever seen !

I was at the show in San Antonio @ the Convention Center Arena 1985! One of my top five concerts!

Great show. Thx for sharing.

J'y étais ! Merci beaucoup d'avoir posté cette vidéo.

Cool footage, thx for upload!

Deep Purple, one of mega groups and me adored, my delight and low bow............

thanks for sharing! love it!

this is 1 of the best concert's i've seen thus far

В 81 году из - за них бросил музыку и закончил политех. Играл в самодеятельных ВИА, был художественным руководителем, пригласили в ленинградскую филармонию. Художник Володя Зарочинцев принёс их записи на бобинах - прослушал все 3 часа в музыкалке и всё. Понял: снять можно, но сыграть лучше пёпла нельзя

legends .... deep purple ..... ritchie is the best .... others are just copies and they can not be better than purple

que lindas temporadas!!!!;yo estaba en el 86 en nürnberg!!!!!! DEEP PURPLE PARA SIEMPRE Gracias x el video.

Still have my dad’s vinyls from back in the day!

A lot of thanks !

Thanks man I hadn't seen it since 30 years (and a half lol)

My favorite band.

I saw these guys in Chicago in January 1985 awesome !

thanks, good document!

Низкий поклон.Великие люди.

De todas as fases da do Deep Purple está é nota 1000.

super concert i love deep purple.

Saw this tour...'85 Flint Michigan Atwood Stadium, Black Foot opened...great show!

THX !

Still have my 85 concert T-shirt, Jan. 18th Odessa, Texas.

Thank you so much, great sound quality and picture of the original WDR broadcast. When Rockpalast broadcasted this originally in 1985 they made us wait til about 2 am because that dwarf Prince was also live in concert. I was a little dissapointed about the state of Gillan's voice back then, but never mind eh? I think he ruined it on that notorious Black Sabbath Born Again Tour where he did a great job.

I was there ! Good concert.... good memory !

Couldn't agree with you more. I have seen Deep Purple 4 times in my life. The first time was when they opened for Rod Stuart and the Faces in 1970 and they blew the place apart! Very sad to hear about Jon Lord passing and I don't care what anyone says, Blackmore is the greatest rock guitarist ever!

You will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace, dear Jon.....

Saw Deep Purple that summer in Wisconsin in the 10th row. Ritchie and Jon were amazing as always and the rest were on fire too. Gillan's voice was good when I saw them but the show must go on regardless.

que años locos aquellos...............

classic. im a brazilian and the show is in 14/11/2014 florianópolis-SC, Brazil.

And yet even on a bad night, he sounds so much better than so many singers...and without auto-tune and other effects,,,wish I could sound half as good as he does here!

Thank you very much for putting this concert in one piece. Never had the chance to watch it. I think the way it was recorded contributed with Gillan's "bad" night. There's something not quite right with the sound overall. Both channels seemed to be unbalanced and some sounds falling between them, thus fading. Anyway, this is a great concert with something for everyone. DP had this virtue of playing each gig in a different way, like our fingerprints. A true kick ass rock band!!

моя молодость.

One of the best ever!!!

Ian has no cold he never sounds like the album bad live singer great band studio . Machine Head One of The Greatest Albums of All Time Thank You

Muito fóda!!!!!!!

Legendary Quintessential Hard Rock Group-each member a master at his craft!!!

So nice going next week to there Concert , see you guys !

Nai dobrite.Varha!Super

Awesome!!!

Ian Gillans throat was probably destroyed after that kind of mega-singing^) THX for uploading this great concert!

Maravilloso.

R.I.P. Jon Lord !!! One of the trio of masters has sadly left... There will be nothing better than the Blackmore, Lord, Paice combination.... You'll be missed Jon.

Baku. A fan of DP since 1970-1975 farewell great Lord

OK! Great intro, regards & Best Wishes 2016 to Sarah, from Freddie & Cris, The Netherlands

my 80's best memories

Excellent!

I wore through two vhs tapes of this show and saw them twice on this tour...this is the quintisential lineup. I love Mk3 era as well...but this IS Deep Purple.

The best-класс!

Super muzyka

saw them at knebworth this time ..........fantastic !

The solo that Blackmore pulls out at "Knocking at your back door" in this concert is absolutely one of his finest of all time. Ian Gillan is singing is still with a lots of feel sensibility & power, despite the cough.

このliveはハマるぜ!ピーターバラカン👌

RIP Mr.John LORD your sound still in my memory.

and thank you! I had a death grip on 'Made in Japan' as a teen...vinyl and 8 track baby!
