Deep Purple - Highway Star (Made in Japan) [Pianist continues his exploration of rock/metal]

[@svartmetall]

One of the absolute, all-time, undisputable classic live albums. Just pure gold from start to finish.

[@MrPicky]

The best live album ever!

[@billpet4602]

Jon Lord drove everything to another level

[@Fuxerz]

Rip Jon Douglas Lord 😢

[@Iaminsaneone]

Deep Purple were so far ahead of their time, the complexity and speed they brought to the Hard Rock scene, influenced everyone from NWOBHM, to Speed Metal, Power Metal, and all other forms of other Rock/Metal. Blackmore is the Riff- God, no disputing that, and his influence can be heard all through the 80/90’s!

[@IROCZSPEED]

Child in Time! The DP song y'all are trying to remember. Child In Time.... wait for the ricochet..... oooooooooooooohhhhhh

[@FerDoug]

I went to see Deep Purple for the first time a couple of years ago, the new guitarist is amazing!

[@gordy3714]

Love to see the Piano guy react to Spacetruckin on the same album especially the organ solo.

[@stefanjones202]

Incredible song and the bass line is amazing. Ian Gillan's voice is iconic.

[@stevencarr4002]

And sometimes he remembers the words!

[@anthonydawson8080]

Their bass lines are underrated. This one gives me hands cramps everytime

[@jimdukeproject]

Cool for a song that started by a journalist asking how they write songs. Ritchie picked up a nearby acoustic and started strumming a G while Ian made up words on the fly. They said, “Something like that.” They did the song that night in concert. Opened with it often ever since.

[@johnnewman366]

Deep Purple started in 1968, “Highway Star” was recorded in December 1971 in Switzerland for “Machine Head”, and here today, 2024, they are still touring, they will be here in Australia a few weeks from now. Highway Star was written on a bus when the press were travelling with the group and one reporter asked “how do you write a song?”, Blackmore started strumming his guitar, Gillan started singing some made up lyrics. The group then refined the song during a pre show warm up, and played it in the show that very night!! Three of the five who recorded Highway Star in 1971 are still there: * Ian Gillan - vocals * Roger Glover - bass * Ian Paice - drums * Jon Lord - keyboards - retired 2002, died 2012 * Ritchie Blackmore - lead guitar - quit 1993 * Don Airey - keyboards - replaced Jon Lord in 2002 * After Blackmore quit mid tour in 1993, Joe Satriani stepped in as a ‘touring’ member for about a year. * Steve Morse was the full time lead guitar replacement and was in the band from 1994 to 2022 (longer than Blackmore), he retired to look after his wife who has cancer. * Simon McBride - lead guitar - replaced Morse in 2022 It’s now 56 years since Deep Purple started, and YES they’re still going strong! Cheers,

[@pieflies]

There was also one album without Ian singing when he got booted from the band by Ritchie and then brought back, just before Ritchie left .

[@ninoorjon]

Cool comment, but don't expect them to come to Australia in a few weeks.

[@pieflies]

@@ninoorjonyeah they already announced that’s not happening. It’s a shame that event fell apart. Seems like they haven’t sold many tickets since they’re offering everyone a second ticket as compensation instead of refunds.

[@End-Result]

They're not really DP anymore, don't be silly

[@ninoorjon]

@@End-Result I love comments like yours. If it weren't for you, nasty impostors would have deceived the poor listeners by pretending to be Deep Purple. Don't you have anything else to do other than expose Deep Purple? Go listen to Blackmore's Night - the real Deep Purple is there, and leave these impostors to us.

[@Unibabble]

The greatest live version of one of the greatest hard rock songs of all time imo. Absolutely legendary performance. Listen to the Machine head version first, then this one, and experience how a great live band can elevate its material. Amazing. This whole album is incredible.

[@Anthony-ro4ek]

The ultimate Deep Purple song..Lord and Blackmore were the driving force in Purple..astonishing musicians

[@ajgsxr]

Awesome song, I’m partial to the studio version myself. Grew up hearing deep purple on the radio and bought their greatest hits in 2001, Deep purple has been in rotation ever since.

[@revylokesh1783]

Can I suggest "Burn" by Deep Purple for more neoclassical epicness?

[@joselinogarciarodriguez7700]

Saludos desde Puerto Rico.deep purple.la mejor banda de todos los tiempos.musicos virtuosos todos.con el mejor cantante de todos los tiempos.no nesecitan análisis.

[@Ninang363]

Deep Purple still exists. Ian Pace is still on Drums, Ian Gillian is still singing, Roger Glover is still on Bass, Steve Morse is on guitar, and Don Airey is on keys. Steve Morse has been with them since 1993. Longer than Richie Blackmore at this point.

[@zdenkonouzovsky6947]

Steve is no longer in the band. He was replaced in 2022 by Simon McBride, as Steve needed to take care of his ill wife.

[@larteonceagain]

And a new album coming in July.

[@Ninang363]

@@zdenkonouzovsky6947 oh I was not aware. I saw them last in ‘21 after the Turning to Crime album

Back on tour too. I saw them last time probably going this time also.

[@FerDoug]

@@zdenkonouzovsky6947 McBride is sooooo good. I Watched them live with him a couple of years ago.

[@ll7868]

Space Truckin' Live , Deep Purple live on March 1, 1972 in Cophenhagen, Denmark on hdrainbowlive's channel. It's got good sound and features a nearly 5 minute Jon Lord keyboard solo. Okay, to be honest it's a 25 minute jam session based on Space Truckin'', everyone has a part where they're highlighted and gets seriously fast like they said "Metronome? We don't need no stinkin' metronome." You can tell they were high af, just having a blast and improvising during a lot of this performance.

[@kurtkluge1686]

Deep Purple does still exist! They have had many lineups, and most have been good to great. I will guess 20 albums, but that might be low.

[@smalley182]

SILVERCHAIR! Yes, please! Do something by them 🤘

[@IIChristisKingII]

Emotion Sickness live in Newcastle is one of my fave songs and performances.

[@robertpetre9378]

I remember buying made in Japan when I was younger probably one of the first ever rock metal albums I’ve ever bought when I was a teenager and it was amazing. Every single song on it was so compelling and iconic.

[@circulation69]

Yes, it's a Hammond B3, direct lined through a 200watt Marshall amp. That's why the organ has so much Growl.

[@cliffbungalow9373]

[@headofamonster]

Ian Paice is an absolute legend and monster. Sick. Thanks for this great reaction. Check out “Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming” from Perpendicular album. Great Measures 🤘

[@mickeyhank]

I second the "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" recommedation! I think it's their most beautiful guitar melody. The classical keyboardist here would definitely appreciate it.

[@rednek666]

Great piano intro.

[@michaellambert5223]

🤘😎🤘ROCK AND ROLL!!!

[@JkersteJr]

I'm guessing you may have heard it already but in case you haven't- Metal Church has a killer cover of this on their self titled album! 🤘

[@iancraig5415]

Burn would be an insane track for a piano player to react to

[@richardn8866]

Who needs 2 guitarists when you had the late great Jon Lord on that big Hammond B3 going note for note with Ritchie. 2nd guitarist? what does that even mean? Thanks guys! Always happy to hear your insights from two different perspectives, the listeners and the musicians.

[@LeoAtlantideo]

Great! ❤....i suggest the "Nobody's perfect" live 😉

[@hays9008]

Difficult is an understatement with Richie...Dio described him as cruel.

[@marknieuweboer8099]

And Bob Daisley and David Stone described him as the exact opposite.

[@БорисЧернышов-э8ы]

Лучше Соло,всех Времен и Народов, с него я полюбил Deep Purple на всю Жизнь!!!

[@Ninang363]

This is from Wikipedia History This song was born on a tour bus going to Portsmouth in 1971 when a reporter asked the band how they wrote songs. To demonstrate, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed an acoustic guitar and began playing a riff consisting of a single "G" repeated over and over, while vocalist Ian Gillan improvised lyrics over the top. The song was refined and was performed that same night.[7] The song first appeared on the 1972 LP Machine Head and remained one of the band's live concert staples, being the set opener even before it was released on any album.

[@MrPicky]

@14:00 - Deep Purple is STILL at it and are just releasing a new album ;)

[@kaekman1788]

You have to watch /listen to Deep Purple's live performance/tribute of Beethoven's 9, where Blackmore and Lord create a wonderful rock version of it.

[@bobdlyan7388]

Yes well done Lad. This is the best version to pick for highway star! May I request a return to Animals as Leaders to their more metal/ heavy stuff i.e Tempting time, CAFO, Mind Spun ect...

[@notgivennotgiven7776]

They did'nt even want Made in Japan filmed either, but were told it was gonna be taped and released in Japan. And was'nt supposed to be released outside Japan till they heard the playback, and how good it sounded. Too bad it was'nt filmed though. Peace.

[@Dibbdroid]

The 3rd night was filmed but the majority of the footage didn't survive. They have released the remaining film matched with the audio recording, including an almost complete Smoke on the Water

[@michaelkarlsson5966]

yes, but filming gigs wasn't a thing back in those days.

[@richpeltier9519]

To gain appreciation for Ian Gillain's vocals listen to the original Broadway cast album version of Jesus Christ Superstar. He played Jesus and his version of Gethsemane is sublime.

[@eddhardy1054]

I wouldn't bother mate since Ian Gillan wasn't a member of the original Broadway cast. He did however appear on the original concept album. 😉😊

[@richpeltier9519]

@eddhardy1054 which is the album I suggested. Sorry, your comment doesn't seem to relate to what I said. You seem to be of the impression I suggested they travel back in time and see the original cast? That's just how the album is commonly referred to and indicated on the liner notes. Some people just like to put words in people's mouths so they have something to argue with.

[@eddhardy1054]

@@richpeltier9519 Well since the original album (1970) was recorded at Olympic studios in Barnes, London and Ian Gillan has never, to my knowledge, sang on Broadway I think my comment is valid (oh and FYI, in the original Broadway production (1971) Jesus was played by Jeff Fenholt).

[@PK--ITA]

before started, intro - L. Cohen "Famous Blue Raincoat", one of my favorites...

[@justdawnin6263]

Love this, cant go wrong with Deep Purple. Have you thought about listening to something off Down's Nola. Id really love to hear his feedback on some of those tracks.

[@richpeltier9519]

Space Truckin is based on Holst's, The Planets suite. Jud is prolly familliar. 🤘🧙‍♂🤘

[@alyssahudson1743]

Great guitar playing any thing from Testament or savatage is also some great stuff to listen to

[@emjem99]

Deep Purple have never stopped my friend. Yes, the banjo player left the band in mid 70's, and came back for Perfect Strangers early 80's and a couple more but eventually buggered off again and Steve Morse joined in about '96 and was, in fact, the longest serving guitarist in the band and boy, what a player! Blackmore was responsible for Ian Gillan and Roger Glover leaving in the 70's to be replaced by Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale for a few years but they came back after a few albums. Through all the turmoil the band has been an entity and still is.

[@jaixaphoto]

Listening to Ian Gillan too much, banjo player

[@onlymoon8885]

let Judson breathe! Metal ballad "Biaxident" Liquid Tension Experiment (Live in LA 2008). Jordan Rudess' keyboards are great

[@ronnienose8608]

Play Strange Kind of Woman from the same live album Made In Japan where Gillan matches the crazy high notes of the guitar.

[@DerEchteBold]

I don't think it's the Live in Japan version that all these comments on the Child in Time video meant, most were talking about the video that's on the 'Deep Purple Official' channel, recorded on a British tv show. Btw, I think you should've gone with the studio version here ; )

[@xnoiidb]

On the note of excellent keys... Maybe a little ELP? I'm sure Judson would appreciate their version of Toccata... though, I'm sure the fans would appreciate something more familiar like Karn Evil no. 9 (second impression)

[@ade4864]

Fireball would be my favourite by DP killer organ. Probably just me though

[@delorangeade]

Ritchie Blackmore rarely gives interviews and has even more rarely said anything bad about the people he worked with, many of whom owed their later careers to his single minded vision and willingness to put unknown musicians in the spotlight.

[@markleggett3944]

He's a perfectionist, and they are always hard to deal with.

[@marknieuweboer8099]

Blackmore even rarely said anything bad about his successors in Deep Purple.

[@delorangeade]

@@marknieuweboer8099 He was complimentary about Bolin, Morse and Satriani.

[@marknieuweboer8099]

I remember Blackmore saying something like "Morss doesn't search for new notes", but overall you're right.

[@delorangeade]

@@marknieuweboer8099 That was about Satriani, but it was in the context of an old interview where he said a lot of good things about Joe. Someone took that one line and started quoting it to other people, including Joe, to get a reaction. Then it became a story. People just repeat the story, without bothering about the context, and so it goes.

[@eddhardy1054]

The incident you're referring to with the water bottle happened in 1993 I think (possibly at the NEC in Birmingham). But he did something similar at the California Jam in 1974 (he really doesn't like cameras on stage).

[@Fuxerz]

1973 the biggest band in the world in gate receipts and lps sold. Did it again 1984 130m lps sold. Rip Jon Douglas Lord 😢.

[@richpeltier9519]

As the song ended, the question was burning in my mind; what was that last note Ian Gillain hit during the ending?

[@superlink235]

You guys gotta do Lazy, 7 minute song, the first half is a gnarly instrumental. Check it out. Also Pictures Of Home, which to me seems to be a style of song that Ghost would take inspiration from.

[@SkepticShay]

Love DP. Would you guys review Wishbone Ash? It's an under known band nowadays, but it's brilliant. Songs like: Some Time World Jailbait The King Will Come

[@eddhardy1054]

Love 'The King Will Come' (& 'So Many Things To Say' off of Wishbone 4).

[@Fauxcault_]

Judson was having a good time and what more can you ask for from a live performance?

[@chzbrgr666]

Famous Blue Raincoat at the start on the piano!

[@SgtPUSMC]

Child in Time is the song you played

[@cgraugaard]

13:57 Deep Purple is alive and well. Mark IV.

[@mariopr2087]

Para mi gusto esta versión en vivo del Made in Japan es mejor que la de estudio, en general Deep Purple suena mucho mejor en vivo.

[@End-Result]

FYI, no matter what lineup you refer to, DP were never a 'metal' band. That was a corporate marketing ploy in the 80s. It has no relation to reality. It's obscene to call them that.

[@davaughan100]

I learned recently that they drove the organ through a Marshall guitar amp to get that sound.

[@riblo72]

Yes. Jon Lord was experimenting to get a organ sound more cohesive with the band when he had the intuition to use the same amps of Blackmore's guitar. He created a totally new keyboard sound that many bands are still using today

[@robertwilson7259]

oh my god you need to show Judson a lunatic of a gods creation by deicide. 😍

[@HendricksWildcat]

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Sounded a bit like Gate 21 by Serj Tankian, the Cohen ditty

[@tjcaruthers5593]

So when is Judson going to experience Deicide for the first time? What song will Judson first hear from Deicide? Can I suggest either Dead By Dawn or Deicide. I would follow either of these with Trifixion or Satan Spawn, so he can hear the difference between the debut album and Legion.

[@uncnorseman2670]

Studio for me of this era? Led Zeppelin, hands down. Live? Deep Purple, and this album is the end of that argument for that debate. The difference is Jon Lord.

[@Mr2012Ultra]

Guitars make the best sound in music Jon Lord… hold my beer

[@Astrodicted]

Totally off topic: Early 90's my best buddy, death metal freak, asked me to go to a concert with him. Clueless young me agreed. I was 'traumatized' when i left and swore never to go to or listen to death metal again. The cause was Deicide

[@johnhitchens2265]

Ritchie said he wrote this based on a standard Bach chord progression

[@richpeltier9519]

In this track, he's comparing his love for his car and his love of his girl.

[@brettcloud8550]

Deicide, nice

[@larteonceagain]

Blackmore didn't appear on stage until it was time for his solo. But he had a beef with the particular camera guy becouse he was going to disturbe the audience. And he was assured that the guy wouldn't be on stage, but he was so he got wet :-) And later on in the concert Blackmore poured another cup of water on his camera behind the Marshalls.

[@ramsey6681]

Sadly Nigel Tufnell, Derek Smalls and David St Hubbins left Deep Purple just after this...

[@ll7868]

Funny Story, David Coverdale replaced Ian Gillan as Deep Purple's vocalist in 1973, then in 1984 when Ian was leaving Black Sabbath after just one album, David was considered to replace Gillan in Sabbath as well, but he declined to continue with Whitesnake. Instead Ian became Deep Purple's vocalist when the "Mark 2" aka the most popular DP lineup (Ian Gillan on lead vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord on organ & keyboards, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums) reunited the same year and released Perfect Strangers in October '84.

[@lawrencefine5020]

I bought this album in 1980. It's a perfect album. Get in your convertible and put this on. Love it. Yeah Blackmore was a pain in the latter days of the 2.0 DP. He left for greener pastures and formed Rainbow with RJD. Do something from Deicide like Dead By Dawn or When Satan Rues His World BTW I have that exact same shirt.
