Deep Purple's Ian Paice Reviews the Sounds of October 1970

[@FawleyJude]

He says he's not up on his jazz players but he made an impressive guess that the Nat Adderley'album was done by his brother Cannonball, seeing that Nat played on a lot of Cannonball's albums. Also impressive that he guessed Joe Zawinul on piano. Paice was more up on his jazz than he let on.

I saw Mountain in late '70 at a local college. I walked by the auditorium in the afternoon, heard some noise, and popped my head in. The band was not really rehearsing, more playing for themselves. I sat in the back and a sound guy came up. Instead of kicking me out, he waxed enthusiastic about how much the band loved playing together. The show was great, but the before hours playing was unbelievably great. Early stages of the band when they were just having fun.

[@EdwinJack64]

Ian Paice somehow always reminds me of the wild and frenzied drummer Animal from the Muppet Show! (Although some say it was Keith Moon! Ha ha 😂!) Ian clearly likes the heavier stuff as you may expect from Deep Purple's drummer. In my teens I really loved Deep Purple! Great video and your "Black Night" outro is very good! Cheers YP! Edwin 🚢🌇

Saw and heard Mr Paice at my first-ever rock concert in ''68 (along with the rest of the Purps, of course). He pulled out an impressive solo, even doing some fancy stuff on the cymbal-stands at one point. (BTW, the other act playing that night was The Nice. Two keyboards legends on the same bill! Though tbh I began to find the volume levels a bit excessive.)

[@wyliesmith4244]

I envy you as I am one of the few to prefer Mark1. I saw DP in '73 with Aerosmith and Elf in Hartford, CT with a couple of friends - one played organ in a DP covers band. As good as that show was, I still regret not seeing Mark 1.

[@charlesbronson4282]

One of the most underrated drummers of all time. He comes from the school of Mitch Mitchell. The two Ian's were a force to be reckoned with...

[@fredericfournier5662]

That's a great review ! I owned a 68 pressing Book of Taliesyn in great condition and I should say I love D. P. MK1 more than Vanilla Fudge, which was in USA the equivalent of D. P. in "pre-prog baroque hard rock soul etc." but they were too much stucked in slow rythm patterns. Ian Paice really made the difference when he took his band in highs, recycling and extending the style of Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels like in "Kentucky Woman" or "River Deep Mountain High". Just love it. Anyway Ian Paice is a little bit rough with Atomic Rooster because... Because I like them too ! 😁 Bonne continuation les amis ! 👍❤️

[@wyliesmith4244]

I saw Vanilla Fudge in late '67 and they sounded like Vanilla Sludge. As for DP Mark 1, I guess I still liked the psych influences, preferred their choices for covers, and I thought that Rod Evans wrote good lyrics. Vanilla Fudge were stellar musicians, but live at least, they stretched songs way beyond the bounds of listenability. All solos are not created equal.

1970 is the last year in the UK where the 1960s guard were able to all score huge on the singles chart. Because in '71, T. Rex and the resulting glam rock phenomenon would pretty much shake pop music all across Europe and Oceania, though not in the US. But '70 is a great year for music, both albums and singles.

My favorite drummer, it figures he'd like the jazz, I always thought he had a better feel for that kind of drumming than the other big rock drummers. You can tell the Beatles broke up by how the British and American singles charts diverge here. America was about to go into AM radio one-hit-wonder pop land, that type of music getting started by Three Dog Night and CCR pretty much. You had to buy albums in order to hear any decent music, part of the reason LZ, DP, BS, Pink Floyd, and the others sold so many of them in the 70s.

Ian's comments on the 'Overture' single from Jesus Christ Superstar are well worth reading at 0:11!

Also I’m noticing a pattern, most of these musicians are pointing out how Motown had basically sold out and instead of focusing on the art they are focusing on the money. If that is so, that breaks my heart. I was taught Motown was unique for us because it was basically one of the early black recording studios, but I guess after awhile all good studios must sell out to remain relevant. Sad really.

[@wyliesmith4244]

Producer Norman Whitfield was the exception to the rule. He switched production styles for the Temptations for singles like 'Psychedelic Shack' and 'Ball of Confusion.' Berry Gordy was not interested in psychedelia. he moved the labels to LA and signed the Jackson Five. Ugh.

Mike Hart is a fascinating character and l think John Peel tried to help him achieve greater commercial success. I’ve talked to people who said he was a real talent( some of his solo tracks are on KZbin) , but a big breakthrough for him never happened. . In the early 1960s he was the leader of Wirral R and B band The Roadrunners, who even The Beatles were quite taken by. In some ways Mike Hart was a Lennonesque type character.. They were often on the same bill as The Beatles at The Cavern and other Merseyside venues. There are also some clips of them on KZbin, they were good! I saw them play on the same bill as the great Little Richard in a Birkenhead cinema. If you get a chance check out Mike Hart on KZbin.

Ian had a better batch of songs to review than most folks did. Particularly by 1970 when the singles charts looked like the minor leagues (Pardon my American terminology) compared to the album charts While I am likely to be hauled in by the taste police, I agree with Ian that the Band often tends to bore me. But my two favorite tracks were by Atomic Rooster (I love Vincent Crane) and James Gang (Joe Walsh was cooking - just ask Pete Townsend), though I prefer drum fills to drum solos. Actually that Mountain track is equally appealing to my ears and Ian liked that one, thank the Lord. So, despite the fact that this is from the seventies, when singles were more geared to younger teens, this was one of the better Blind Dates. In my subjective opinion of course.

[@maurogajardo620]

Interesting that he remarked on the Motown 'production line' getting samey - two Motown tracks in the charts were re-releases from the mid 60s, they flogged those songs to death - but at the same time notice a third Tamla release 'Ball of Confusion' showed a change in direction. Norman Whitfield and Frank Wilson had more control in production, and the new post-Ross Supremes were about to release 'Nathan Jones' as well.. Ian should have waited a month or two! Also in the album chart, Deep Purple, Zepellin and Sabbath in the top 5 while Let It Be creeping out of the top 10.. a new era had arrived.

[@YesterdaysPapers]

And the greatest live album of all time at number one, "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out".

darganx great points about 1970 Tamla Motown which was predictable and boring but with Whitfield and Wilson and great artists like Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder the bland corporate sound would change with innovative sounds and more songs that addressed the issues of the day so Paice is spot on about the pre Kent State-Jackson State Motown which was dull non controversial and looked to sale the most records.
