Go Deep into the album and the absolutely majestic and melodic instrumental Son of Alerik, this composition has some of the most tasteful guitar - spellbinding and one of those tunes that is timeless - you will note be disappointed - Take the journey :)

… Rock music is explained like this: There's a lead guitar, an organ, a bass, a singer, a drummer... and there's DEEP PURPLE!! … There is nothing more to say! 🎸🎹🥁🎤 Thank you

PERFECT STRANGER EL MEJOR DISCO REUNION HASTA EL DÍA DE HOY , NO HAY CON QUE DARLE!!!❤

[@retroreactions....]

¡A mí también me encantó! ¡Muchas gracias por mirar hoy! 🙂

[@79BlackRose]

It was nice to hear this again! It is a good solid track. One from their classic years I think you would really enjoy is Woman From Tokyo (1973). That was from the last album this line up played in together until this reunion eleven years later. 💥

[@retroreactions....]

Cool, going right on the list, you know my taste well!

[@helenespaulding7562]

Parts of the melodic line remind me of Rainbow’s Stargazer., which I guess should not be surprising considering Blackmore was around for both. Never heard this track before and it’s now my favorite Deep Purple song! Dang, Ian Paice does fantastic job on the drums here!

[@retroreactions....]

Woohoo! It's my favorite too, of the 4 I know.... I've never heard of the band Rainbow...

[@helenespaulding7562]

@@retroreactions....hard rock group founded by Blackmore I think. Cozy Powell was the power drummer. Vocalist was Dio, one of the best in rock. Died way too young. They had co stant turnover in personnel and after Dio died……Never became huge. I discovered them only a few years back. Also used allot of fantasy themes. But Dio, Blackmore and Powell was a powerful combination.

[@retroreactions....]

Ah ok, thanks. Don't recognize any of their big song titles..

[@reneelyons6836]

This is "new" Deep Purple to me. I think it is FANTASTIC!!!! I like "Child of Time" a little more.

[@retroreactions....]

Nice! We ❤ 80s Deep Purple!

[@Stephanie-lm7sp]

Thank you!

[@retroreactions....]

You're welcome!!

[@thomcadeau1384]

Just saw this video. Love the Arabic feel and syncopated beat. I always think about being in a dark mythical forest and meeting someone I'm not sure if I should trust or not. You, sir, are amazing!

[@retroreactions....]

Thank you so much!!!

Nice to hear Deep Purple. Perfect Strangers was the first tour of Deep Purple’s that I saw (2x). This is a great album, as is “House of Blue Light”. I was so happy when I got to see the Mark II lineup. Tonight’s concert that I attended was Yngwie Malmsteen (a Swedish neoclassical guitarist) and Glenn Hughes, who was Deep Purple’s bassist for their Mark III and Mark IV lineups in the ‘70s. Their album “Burn” is celebrating its 50th anniversary and Glenn played several tracks from it as well as many from the three albums he was on. He did play “Highway Star” to close his main set before the encore. I didn’t get “Smoke On The Water” this time, as I did the first time I saw him back in 2019. There’s a lot of Deep Purple for you to explore. A real funky song from them is “Gettin’ Tighter” from the Come Taste The Band album. This was their last release in the 70s until they released Perfect Strangers in the 80s.

[@retroreactions....]

As you see I really loved this one. Wow, nice with the Deep Purple connection from my reaction to your concert in the same day! GT goin on the list now. Good night, thanks for the late night watch!!

[@drmagic60]

Yes….your reaction and my concert definitely have a connection! I also meant to say congrats for hitting 4000 subscribers!! ❤ Well deserved!

[@retroreactions....]

Thank you very much my friend in music! Appreciate the tons of support you've given all these months! 🙏

[@tedr3586]

Great song and reaction. You should move all the way to 2017 with "Time for Bedlam"

[@retroreactions....]

Hi there. Thanks so much for stopping by and for the compliment! That one is way past my 1999 channel window unfortunately, but I just saved it in my watch later playlist so I can discover it shortly. Thanks!

[@tedr3586]

@@retroreactions.... Thanks, hope you enjoy it. There are so many hidden treasures in music

[@retroreactions....]

Listening again now. Wow rockishly dark. Interesting to hear their modern day sound. So cool that Ian is still the lead singer! Loved that creepy spoken intro and outro!!

[@tedr3586]

@@retroreactions.... 👍Glad you liked it. That whole album is pretty good. The video for the song "The Surprising" is especially cool to us older dudes. There are references to every one of there albums going back to the 60's. Some of them are hard to spot! Albums references: - 0:42 Mandrake Root/Shades of Deep Purple - 0:46 The Book Of Taliesyn - 1:13 In Rock - 1:24 Fireball (It also makes reference as it's Gillan who's looking at it because he stated that it's his favorite album) - 1:33 Made In Japan - 1:37 Smoke On The Water/Machine Head - 1:48 Who Do We Think We Are - 2:07 Burn - 2:52 Stormbringer (I got goosebumps here lol) - 3:25 Come Taste The Band - 3:36 Perfect Strangers/The Battle Rages On - 3:59 I don't have a clue of who's this girl. (EDIT: She's Anya, the Spirit of Freedom. Clearly a reference about Blackmore's departure) - 4:31 The House Of Blue Light - 4:37 Slaves & Masters - 4:58 Purpendicular - 5:01 Abandon - 5:07 Bananas - 5:09 Rapture of the Deep - 5:19 Now What?! - 5:50 inFinite

[@retroreactions....]

Nice! That's a really cool concept!

[@paulrt3]

If you haven't heard "My Woman from Tokyo" by Deep Purple, would be a great one to check out.

[@retroreactions....]

Nope, will add your vote to the list now, thanks!

[@KevinM2732]

A similar guitar melody can also be found in IQs brilliant "The Universal Scam"

[@retroreactions....]

Nice, that one went right on my list. I'm sure you know how I feel about IQ already! Thanks

[@KevinM2732]

@@retroreactions.... I know and me too

[@ursgeiser6570]

Richtie once again took a step back and integrated himself brilliantly into the band, so that a fantastic song came out, actually the whole album, one of the best of its genre of the 80s. In my opinion, the unique rock voice and Robert Plant should have been produced a little warmer, so that his voice color gets more expression. PS the majority of the 80s hard rockers mentioned are too military, monotonous and unimaginative, looking for record riffs, without creativity, passion and soul.✌

[@Chappomusic]

I wondered if Ronnie James Dio has ever sung this one . Cause this is a track what comes out live way better than on the record . There is one with the final performance with John Lord on keyboard . It’s so good .

[@retroreactions....]

Good to know, thanks for watching!

[@Divedown_25]

A bit newer Depp Purple, but newer..not really, In1984, eight years after the Mark IV breakup they re-unioned with the "classic" Mark II line-up of 1969-1973: Jon Lord, Ian Paice, Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glove. And was it good, well yes, but I did only listen in me on the Perfect Stranger album, their second album in this 5year reunion "The House of Blue Light" is for me still unknown... 🙂

[@retroreactions....]

Hello! Was really nice hearing their 80s work. I will have to investigate more! Thanks for the late night watching and for being first on this one! 🥇

[@mightyV444]

Interesting that Blackmore says this is his favourite Deep Purple song! It's also mine! 😁 Admittedly, I'm not a _massive_ fan of the band, though; I like them because of their great drummer Ian Paice, first and foremost 😊

[@retroreactions....]

Cool, thanks for watching!

[@mightyV444]

@@retroreactions.... - Sure! 😊👍

[@Alirkson]

Go Deep into the album for the absolutely majestic and melodic instrumental Son of Alerik, this composition has some of the most tasteful guitar - Blackmore puts on a masterclass with this spellbinding tune - absolutely timeless - you will note be disappointed - Take the journey my friend Reply

[@allengator1914]

Great song with, unfortunately, a no effort really lame ending.

[@retroreactions....]

Glad you like part of it. Thanks for the watch time!
