Deep Purple - Space Truckin' (Live at California Jam 74') HD Part 2

[@MrBluesgtr68]

Maybe the most wildest Ritchie moment captured on film. 👍👍

[@cornfilledscreamer614]

I've always considered it the single greatest equipment destruction performance ever. Nobody should have ever broken another guitar after this one!

[@bakhtiarsubian1814]

Ritchie was special. I love Iommi. Hendrix, Beck and many more but Ritchie had something special. When he's on fire, no one can touch him but when he's on a bad day..oh man, 😭😭

You would be too if the promoters went against the terms of the contract

I was corrupted by Richie in 1974. Been playing that guitar ever since. I'm still playing that thing.

[@Fuxerz]

I think every guitar has a little Ritchie Blackmore. He's a bad ass just ask the guy from sweden who copies him.😂

[@ПавелЦедрик-ы2ц]

Вакхоналия!!!По молодости я только слышал про это, а сейчас могу лицезреть! Спасибо!

[@nebojsagrbic5593]

One of reasons why Ritchie is one of best guitarists of all times, just like great Jimi Hendrix, is unique sound. You just hear the sound of guitar and you know who it is. Btw, both of them had amazing sound, Fender and Marshall, and that is. Just great. Cheers from Serbia!

[@GM-gb5qp]

I was there !! what a fantastic one day concert at the former Ontario Motor Speedway. Tens of thousands attended. Was able to get not too far from the stage. The had a few towers set up with tens of speakers. The sound was great. DP was not the closing band, it was Emerson Lake Palmer, who in my opinion were louder than DP. Hard to believe ! Perhaps after several hours of the best rock, and the air filled with pot smoke.. .hahaha.. my earring became super sensitive. Blackmore played brilliantly, while destroying a few Strats and Marshall cabs. Great classic rock tone. Unforgettable concert. I've seen quite a few famous rock bands since, but none came close to DP at the Cal Jam.

[@dunin.majewski]

you were there when the legens were made!

[@kostasvrionis781]

Lucky you

[@omercasher9732]

OMG. Were you able to hear that explosion?

[@trebleface7835]

Actually DP were the co-headliners however they chose to be the second last band but to go on but only after the sun went down. Their choice since they were the biggest selling band in the world at the time.

[@roberttravers5286]

The Best Show Ever!Forever..

[@tiffsaver]

I'm 76-years old, so all I could think about is how much their INSURANCE BILL must have been!! The crowd certainly got their money's worth that night. Having grown up with The Who, and Jeff, and Jimi, I could easily see their influence in everything Blackmore does, and he somehow managed to squeeze all of those showy elements into this single performance like a madman bent on total destruction at all costs, yet in such a creative way. But while he was creating absolute mayhem, I was just as blown away by the second guitar player's licks keeping the whole thing together, while the driving bass line and powerful drumming sounded like some kind of runaway freight train raging through the night with a maniac at the throttle. What a wild ride...

[@srtyxczewlsrolkid]

Magnificent solo by Blackmore and... great demolition!

5:58: Ritchie: "Lemme have another one" ... Roadie: "Sorry, Ritch, you've use 'em all up - we got no more!" LOL

[@allancerf9038]

I think Ritichie's whole schtick for years has been "there's nothing I do that's remotely as crazy as the culture." he's actually fairly calm. notice when he destroyed - for the then - HUGE price o' 10K - a network TV camera, he was at GREAT pains to not injure the cameraman. Ritchie's a cool guy and if my bladder could hold it, I'd have some beers with him. Interesting cat.

[@someoneelse101]

He did warn the camera crew not to get in his face during the gig. The damage to the camera was a result of his wishes being disrespected

[@St-sr9eu]

В 1974 году Блэкмор стал участником скандала на фестивале в Калифорнии California Jam. Deep Purple были хедлайнерами и должны были выступать после наступления сумерек, группой было подготовлено шоу из лазеров и фейерверков. Однако, из-за сокращения выступлений других команд, очередь Deep Purple подошла задолго до заката. Ричи демонстративно закрылся в своей гримёрке и отказывался выходить на сцену до назначенного времени. Организаторы телеканала ABC водворили гитариста на сцену с помощью полиции. Ответным жестом раздосадованного Ричи стал легендарный перформанс с разбиением камеры оператора гитарой. Из Википедии.

[@FLORESDEVALERIANO]

De acuerdo al cronograma, Deep Purple cerraba el concierto, pero a último minuto los productores modificaron el orden de presentación de los grupos, dejando a Emerson, Lake & Palmer para el final. Esto desató la ira de Ritchie Blackmore el cual lo consideró una humillación en contra de su banda. Ritchie se encerró en su camerino sin querer salir al escenario. Luego de intensas gestiones por parte de la producción lo convencen de actuar, sin embargo, Blackmore ya había ideado la forma de vengarse la cual era la misma que había utilizado en contra de Yes en 1970. Ritchie le encargó a su roadie personal que bañara de gasolina varios de los cabezales de amplificación. Cuando la banda estaba interpretando el último tema (Space Truckin'), Blackmore dio la señal a su roadie para que prendiera fuego a los amplificadores, luego dejó inutilizable una cámara de TV, de la cadena ABC, al golpearla con el mástil de su guitarra, la cual después lanzó al público y además destruyó varios amplificadores arrojándolos al foso del escenario. Mientras Blackmore realizaba su espectáculo, el resto de la banda seguía tocando en medio del intenso humo y las explosiones, lo cual marca el clímax de todo el show. Esto fue del agrado de muchos fans que incluso festejaron los incidentes. Después del concierto la banda tuvo que realizar una espectacular huida en helicóptero para evitar ser detenidos por la policía.

[@dpurpura1]

Es cómo dices pero, además, también querían que la banda salieran a tocar una hora antes del anochecer, como estaba estipulado en el contrato. Lo consultó con el asistente de luces y éste le dijo que siendo todavía horas diurnas, el show de luces no iba a ser tan llamativo cómo en horas nocturnas. Es por lo que se encabronó más aún y se negaba a salir de su camerino, de hecho, si Lord no lo llega a convencer, se hubiera ido del concierto sin tocar... ¡Genio y figura!

[@emilianoferreira375]

Si, ciertamente fue así en el miticico Concierto California Jam de 1974 como anécdota adicional decir que el famoso arco iris tras la disolución de MKIII se lo llevo para su grupo experimental RAIMBOW

[@pedrofabila6260]

Con todo respeto pero como se les ocurrió dejar el cierre a ELP por encima de Deep Purple.......Deep Purple estaba en otra liga por encima de ELP, tuvo razón la enojarse Blackmore.........por otro lado Ritchie siempre le mostró mucho respeto a Jon Lord quien lo convenció de salir a tocar

@@dpurpura1 Tambien fue un roadie que salvo que los organizadores no los cancelaran. Este en un momento cuando la gente se estaba impacientando....salio y dijo "Estan listo para Deep Purple??" la gente obviamente rugio y se calmaron...

[@wardka]

Around 2:14. Is that the riff from Book of Taliesyn? I was not familiar with that album until recently so this little cameo, if it was one, was wasted on me in previous viewings. Or it could just be Blackmore doing Blackmore-ish riff with a similar sound. [Edit: I meant the song "Listen, Learn, Read On" from the album Book of Taliesyn.]

[@yukibird0]

Wow, god damn, what a gem

[@dpurpura1]

Amazing Blackmore! Amazing! But The second explosion, where The Man In Black jumped back for the flames, the smoke and the shock, it has cut on the video... Sadly. Incredible the musical's band state!

[@Motoroilspill]

Start off with the Wiki article, then move on to some of his interviews, there is(or will be) a book about the whole cal jam. IIRC he was mad at the cameraman because he was trying to get the camera in front of the band(middle of the stage) the whole gig, and Ritchie was constantly blocking him because he wanted the people who had paid to go to the concert to see something, he blew up the speakers because someone from the organizers said "make an amazing ending" or something along those lines.

[@carlocalarco6718]

There’s only one Ritchie... where’s Yngwie Malmsteen? Oh... still in a diaper I guess... I have yet to see Yngwie do something like this, he’s done pretty much everything else Ritchie has done... Lol... Only Ritchie can pull off a show like that... Long Live Ritchie !!!!
