Coming from the Horse's mouth Jon described his aggressive approach to playing as " Guerrilla Playing", not in just live performances he would literally lift the Keyboard while he's playing,that kind of energy is heard & felt. Akin to Jimi or Stevie Ray, or Jeff Healey using distortion & riggerous application & pull on the whammy bar while the axe is on the stage,Jack White also on " Sitting On Top Of The World" teaching his " Younger self" on " This Might Get Loud" Rockumentry with Jimmy Page & the Edge,a must see for any fan of guitar music ❤❤❤😊

Deep Purple in their prime. What a killer voice...So powerful, dangerous and violent. Ritchie still looks happy to be playing alongside Ian.

[@weeooh1]

They had a frayed relationship with Ritchie often making life difficult for Ian. It can be quite stressful for vocalists to belt out super high range screams for long periods. And Ritchie would often choose songs that were toughest for Ian to sing, like Child in Time at moments when Ian was tired or near exhaustion in a concert.

Paice is playing during the jam a chord/song structure but improvising during that process, he is fucking phenomenol, Lord and Blackmore are making up solos which he has to work with. When he gets the signal "this is the ending" or "this is another fucking big solo" he has to be aware of that. His foot/hand work/rhythms and timing are exceptional. I'd be surprised if there is a band that would dare do this now or since 1973.

Hard rock*

[@robnhood3214]

@@sebastiansantos7201 Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull all in parts of their career were Hard Rock in that generation. Deep Purple was definitely the precursor to Metal that is undeniable. Not metal by today's standards no but like everything metal has evolved (mostly not for the good but there is still good metal music coming out if you look hard). I am a 57 year old metal head so I know. I have been with it from the start and have seen metal grow over the ages. All music is defined by its chord progressions, modes and scales and that alone puts Deep Purple in the genre of early metal.

This is from the ABC "In Concert" show, which aired on Friday nights in the early-/mid-1970s. In addition to this episode, I recall seeing one with the Allman Brothers Band.
