Deep Purple - Highway Star - First Time Reaction

[@patcow9999]

Jon Lord was one of the very best keyboard players. Yes please FavoriteIslandGirl, more Purple! Burn will not disappoint, my favourite DP track.

[@catman2629]

And Mistreated , You fool no one , Speed King

[@thedocofrock1890]

the guitar dude in the pilgrim hat is the legendary RITCHIE BLACKMORE. he is on the mt. rushmore of guitar gods of metal and rock - simply one of the best ever.

[@sharonellis8776]

This is one of my favourite songs by this awesome band ! xx

[@patrickhendrikskingston9303]

I'm a reggae fan from I was a child, seen many jamaican reggae stars live, but deep purple is the one band outside of the reggae world that I really love.

[@williamdemerchant7295]

For playing hard and fast, Deep Purple win the gold medal.🏅

[@swedishgooner6339]

Dragonforce goes: Hello!!! LOL

[@michaelwhitton8226]

Great Song!! Always liked this band. They were great in concert.

[@ingridgabelo2934]

Gracias por reaccionar nuevamente a los grandiosos Deep Purple!! Efectivamente, son la realeza del rock 😊. De la famosa Trinidad Impía, junto a Black Sabbath y Led Zeppelin. Amo a los tres, pero mis grandes amores han sido Deep Purple 💜. En todas sus etapas han estado geniales, pero, la alineación más brillante ha sido MK II, con Ian Gillan como vocalista. Hasta hoy siguen...con cambios, el gran Jon Lord RIP 😢... Ritchi Blackmore formó la banda Rainbow. Estuvieron en mi país el 17 de septiembre de 2024 y seguimos amándolos!! Un abrazo desde Chile ( al fin del mundo ). 💜💜💜💜💜

[@favouriteislandgirl]

It truly was my pleasure 🙏

[@debjorgo]

This is my favorite from Deep Purple. Great guitar solo too!

[@claudiofendrik1603]

Me encanta que te guste Deep Purple, y aparte sos hermosa 😍😍😍

[@maxsinnapah5754]

It's shocks me to see you love this 70s goldie, really admire your reaction.

[@favouriteislandgirl]

[@davew459]

Speed king and Black Knight, superb.

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

Awesome! Love to see that smile!

[@favouriteislandgirl]

You are so kind

[@johngardner4096]

And the winner in the "Song Most Likely To Be Played While Getting A Speeding Ticket" is "Highway Star" by Deep Purple, beating out "Headlong" by Queen, "Hocus Pocus" by Focus, and "Adrenaline" by Shinedown.

[@funkmeisterB-5000]

6:20-Both keyboardist and guitarists played stuff that reminded you of driving..You can see the telephone poles passing like blurs because of the speed, the engine roaring, horns, tires screeching, etc. Just A+ examples of how to play for effect. Ahhh, the thousands of speeding tickets this song's probably got drivers! ( Including 2 of my High School buddies back then ) Great seeing you have so much fun jamming on it!

[@goldenruletv7301]

I have had this song in my collection for 40 years, I just had to this sexy Island Girl listen to it. Damn this woman is fine!

[@rickyzoohis9266]

Hello princesse, The Best version of this masterpiece is from ”Made in Japan” ; you can feel the acceleration. Grandiose

[@favouriteislandgirl]

Thanks for the info!

[@catman2629]

Yes got the original and remastered of Made in Japan play it on Yamaha 130watt Amp Cambridge Floor standing speakers and powered 170watt sub woofer so it’s loud like it would have been back in 1973 . Bands were much louder back then as no decibel limits then at live venues . Seen DP live lots starting back in 1973

[@StanCostello-q3o]

Oh you have to do SPACE TRUCKIN next from these guys!!

[@JosephCampos-g9j]

This was my brother's favorite group....

[@favouriteislandgirl]

He has great taste 👌

[@MegaIronleg]

WOW WOW WOOOWWWW…!!! I DONT KNOW WHAT I LUV MORE …. THIS SONG OR UR PASSION FOR THIS SONG. YOU ROCK GIRL.. !! 👏 N YES THERE ARE A LOT MORE GREAT BANDS, WITH INCREDIBLE MUSIC. HAVE YOU HEARD PINK FLOYD OR BLACK SABBATH..? THEY ARE A MUST. ROCK ON 👊🖖

[@favouriteislandgirl]

Awwss will do thank you 😊

[@albertlachapelle3362]

📍 keep on rocking the free world :-) lol You appeared to be somewhat stunned!

[@favouriteislandgirl]

Lol I was shocked 😲

[@rockandrollmd541]

Listen to "No One Came" by Deep Purple's 1971 album Fireball. It's a really funky song - the singer Ian Gillan is talking / rapping instead of singing. Very good keyboard solo in that one too.

[@catman2629]

Very underrated song also Fools was superb of this album

[@kurtschmidt9760]

Need to do space trucking next. Thanks for the reaction.

[@williamdemerchant7295]

[@modejar2022]

DEEP PURPLE is a live band, try to look for the live versions of these songs. BURN, STRANGE KIND OF WOMAN, SPEED KING, LAZY, and SPACE TRUCKIN', you'll be amazed. Maestro JON LORD (r.i.p. 2012) was on the keyboards, he was a Grand Master composer. He wrote the CONCERTO FOR GROUP AND ORCHESTRA in 1969, premiered in september of the same year, 55 years ago, and it was a great success, the first time classical music was mixed with rock music. Performed by Deep Purple and the ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, conducted by, 1957 Oscar winner, Malcolm Arnold, at the ROYAL ALBERT HALL. They released an album with the recording of that night. Also a video you can watch on the web. JON LORD was a classical and rock composer. The other members in that 1972 recording were known as the Mark II line-up of the band, with RITCHIE BLACKMORE on guitar, IAN GILLAN on the voice, ROGER GLOVER on bass, and IAN PAICE on drums. Thank you for your reaction.

[@favouriteislandgirl]

thank you for this coming soon

[@TerenceShortman]

As others have said probably the top keyboard players of the time was Jhon Lord Deep Purple, Rick Wakeman YES, and Keith Emerson ELP (Emerson Lake & Palmer) all three had different styles and had classical training and or influence.

[@andrea-v2s]

OH BABY jump into the DEEP end of our rockin 70s and you had to get your ass in line early for a ticket or see the "SOLD OUT" sign in the window. "Highway Star" began every rockers road trip/vacation jam and the next on your list young lady should be "Space Truckin" I`ll let your imagination run wild and until then....

Mamma mia 😮

[@johnlord9319]

Key board player is my name sake John Lord although he spells it Jon Lord😊

[@areyouexp4]

this song is about a car but he compares it and the shape and speed and frame to a girl and his mind - he will " drive " both fast and hard - and no one will take it from him - the next deep purple song should be LAZY from machine head 1972 - jon lord = keyboards - the best keyboardist of all time in my opinion - my favourite quote by jon lord = " the sound of deep purple has alot to do with my organ " hahahahha

[@johngardner4096]

Another song that you may find enjoyable is "Lazy" - a blues tune gone heavy metal. Unbelievable!

[@J3scribe]

Original audio recording. B&W is the original music video. The color psychodelic shit came out a few years later. I was there.

[@Snakehead1964]

Actually there is no original music video. The b/w scenes are from a concert in Denmark March 1972, released ifirst in 1987, while the colour footage is from a TV show in Germany September 1971

[@ingovonderluhe2174]

Next Black Sabbath War Pigs (Live 1970 Paris) and Rainbow : Stargazer (Live 1973 Munich) !!!!

[@srt8rocketship241]

Space Truckin'-next.

[@catman2629]

Back in the 70s when they played this live they used to lower a large disco ball into the venue and shine a white spotlight non it , used to look like you amongst the stars

[@Brummie666]

Ry something from Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, the guy is one of the greatest guitarist in heavy rock

you don't make it easy for her to choose the songs when you write everything all blurred together. "Space truckin'", "Lazy", "Woman from Tokyo", "Knocking at your back door", "Perfect strangers". As you say, the list can go for days, and it should :)

This is not the live version of Highway Star it's the studio version from Machine Head there must be a dozen live versions that can be found from different concerts I have never heard a bad version of this song but they are all a little different.
