Highway Star - Deep Purple - Neighborhood Picnic Band 2011 feat Michael Batio

[@Bellairatone]

Amazing thing about this song is that there was no practice session before this was performed. I know because I put this whole picnic band together and we all grew up to together (some of us were toddlers together) in the 60's. Just a bunch of awesome buddies I had the privilege of growing up with. God bless

[@cribrebo7375]

All fantastic players really did an excellent job

[@rockhead69]

Michael Batio kicks ass....what a fantastic guitar player. About the band... I've run out of adjectives to compliment you guys.

[@Guitaroverkill]

Killed it. Keyboards sounded perfect.

[@mytandasouder4485]

No fucking doubt, dude was playing keyboard like an absolute mad lad

[@scotdvorak8861]

Holy crap is that Michael Angelo Batio? …..it is!!!!! He lives in the coolest neighborhood ever!!!

[@riffguru]

With this level of musicianship, I want to move to this neighborhood!

[@timczifrik]

lmao... I was thinking the same thing..!!! I would live out of my car just to have access to jam with these guys..!!!

[@seriousdefect822]

Wow guys. Awesome

[@edb6690]

Band does a tremendous job at staying true to the originals. I've loved all the videos I've seen.

[@rickseeger1562]

Great fun here. I take from the comments, some people don't know who Mike is.

[@GrillWarrior]

Great job.. I listened to Deep Purple songs all of the time when I was kid.

[@stevengipson5922]

You guys are tight !! Very talented musicians with great vocals. 🎶🎵🎵🎶

[@mikehall4372]

Well done!!! 👍 🎸

[@TheMjm55]

Cudos not only to the band for killing this but great job by the video crew capturing it so well.

[@MrRobcfc]

These boys are bloody good!! Greetings from the uk. Nobody mentions the keyboard player, he’s nailing it just like Jon Lord.

[@jimmuncy5636]

Yes, I wonder if he played with any name bands as a youngster. He never misses a note.

[@alfrescodimieary6580]

Really nailing John Lord? Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds?

[@MrRobcfc]

@@alfrescodimieary6580 get a life!

[@alfrescodimieary6580]

@@MrRobcfc OK that’s cool sounds good I’m assuming you have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about or any clue about music so yeah sounds good coming from you

[@noahvale7555]

The 'rockstar' looked out of place with these guys...Holy smokes what a great band....I've reached the age (62) where I really love seeing balding older guys tearing it up....and they do

[@terrance2228]

Three piece group with just kick ass front person to compete with would suit him better. Phenomenal sound ... For a metal club or venue, not so much here. But great, hey.

[@rysiem1523]

Well done!!! Trying to follow Deep Purple is probably more difficult than many think. Especially Ian Gillan at his best and ..I was going to mention the keyboardists name, but every member of Deep Purple was exceptional. You guys killed it.
