Classical Composer Reacts to DEEP PURPLE - MADE IN JAPAN (Side 3) | Strange Kind of Woman & Lazy

[@LuisGarcia-ee2tr]

Best ,live album of all time!

[@GormlyKeep]

Given your profile pic, surely Live After Death?

[@johnmorris8799]

Double album priced as a single album at the time. I bought the vinyl in ‘73. Rendered the studio versions of these songs redundant at a stroke. It and Yessongs are joint best ever live sets.

[@FrankAHuser]

Other ‘best’ albums: Rory Gallagher - Irish Tour 74 Ten Years After - Recorded Live Grand Funk Railroad - Live Album Deep Purple - Made in Japan These four are for me ‘the best’ live rock albums.

@@clausappel8086 okay, I agree!! Thanks.

[@MarkMundy-m8n]

The two Blackmore solos leading up to the dual with Gillan are simply stunning. But it's not just his guitar that makes them brilliant, it is the way, Glover, Lord and Paice cradle the solo into a sublime silk and honey hard Rock orgasm. Incredible.

[@stevem-h3562]

That was the thing with Blackmore. You never knew what the mad bastard was going to do next. Staggeringly talented, one of the greatest of his generation. He and Lord had a very long and deep respect for each other and were equally capable of blowing each other off the stage which was what kept that creative friction going.

[@iam4rb]

Amen!

[@mikedown3219]

The sounds that Jon Lord got out of his Hammond C3 organ were ridiculous. He starts out with other worldly sounds then goes into Oscar Peterson!

The call-and-response between Blackmore and Gillan at 10:10 is insane and so much fun!

[@Slayer66642]

Best live album ever. Been listening to it for over 20 years, still find new elements when I listen. Deep Purple at its peak. Blackmore his improvising and guitar tone is off record, Lords hammond composing over and around it. Gillan screaming in between, jealously. While drums and bass surround and support all those harmonies. Its an absolute masterpiece.

[@ljdellar]

These tracks are absolute masterclasses on how to trust your band mates to know where you are all going. One of the three best live albums ever, along with Live and Dangerous (Thin Lizzy) and Strangers in the Night (UFO).

[@MartinJessop-bi4yt]

Those last two albums came out during my adolescence and i still own and love them both. UFO really had a revival in 79 when the NWOBHM started in the UK. Love lights out side.

[@ljdellar]

@@MartinJessop-bi4yt I absolutely agree with you. Strangers in the Night has, in my opinion, the best work Michael Schenker ever did. Lights Out, Rock Bottom and Doctor Doctor are just incredible. Live and Dangerous perfectly captures Thin Lizzy at the height of their powers. I still play it weekly and I keep a guitar tuned down half a step so I can play along. Guilty pleasures ;-)

[@delorangeade]

Those would be my picks as well.

[@CB-xr1eg]

@@ljdellar Live and Dangerous was heavily overdubbed and edited in the studio, so not 100% Live. Made In Japan has no overdubs or editing. What you hear is what the crowd hear at the concerts.

@@CB-xr1eg Oh, I know, and I really do not care! I still love it. It is the crowd interaction and energy which does most of the heavy lifting.

[@RushfanUK]

The greatest live album ever, the thing is that it is exactly as recorded on the night, there are no overdubs or cleaning up in post-production, Blackmore and Gillan had as far as I am aware never even listened to the album and only Glover and Paice were involved in its mixing and production along with Martin Birch.

[@AugustoCarvalho-db1kk]

[@eugenek7043]

Hi Doug, the guitar solo section in Lazy that you felt sounded familiar was Ritchie’s rendition of Swedish Rhapsody (Midsummer vigil) by the Swedish composer Hugo Alfvén. Both Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord often mixed pieces of different classical music in their live performances. They were both hugely influenced by and brought up with classical music. In fact Jon focused on writing classical music after he retired from Deep Purple in 2002.

[@dolf370]

Ah, so that's what it is. I knew it was a swedish folk tune (I'm swedish) and remember how I and my best pal both bolted when we heard this because we knew it was something swedish, but I never been able to figure out what exactly it was.

[@Innerspace100]

No idea if this has been covered, but the "synth" sounds of Jon's at the start of Lazy, is Jon playing around with the ring modulator he'd just aquired at that time. It remained a part of his organ set-up through the House Of Blue Light tour in the late eighties...

[@tomatoseed1443]

Does my heart good to see a classical music composer appreciate and groove to great rock and roll!🎶🎶🎶

[@SylviusTheMad]

Jon Lord needs a concert hall named after him.

[@magicruss1]

[@rickmcconnell5380]

I believe the "calling long distance" sound is generated by running the Hammond through a ring modulator.

[@deancarter9210]

Keyboard intro to 'Lazy' features the I-IV-V that is clearly a quick quote of 'Wild Thing'...a few bars later he's quoting 'Duke Ellington's 'Take The 'A' Train', all after bringing in a spaceship to land at the start. DP of this era were always throwing in nods to their broad frame of musical reference, all over the heads of the audience, one suspects...The song itself is revved up-metalled up R&B. Those were the days. Metal from the 80s onwards lost the blues/R&B/jazz tripleted swing that bands like Purple and Zep had and this has been to the detriment of the genre altogether, descending into into Spinal Tap stuff...Blackmore's little quot is also from some light operetta style or Broadway musical style music. 'Cheeky' as much as 'Lazy'!

[@TechnicalBard]

I think the piece in the intro is Louie, Louie!

[@Dibbdroid]

It's not Take the A Train. It is C Jam Blues and more likely the Oscar Peterson version.

[@PedrSion]

There was a bit of Louie Louie by the Kingsmen in the keyboard intro.

[@delorangeade]

One of the best sides of vinyl ever released. My favourite from this album because I think it shows the band interactions at their best, even if Blackmore and Gillan were no longer on speaking terms by this time.

[@alldayadventures5418]

Now your getting to the really good part of this album. Best for last is the 20 minute version of Space Trucken. Best live album, really haunts you this type of music is in the distant past.

When he got the gig they gave him a setlist and a stack of cd’s. Two weeks later he calls to say he was ready, and at the same time suggesting ten more songs from the catalog, including Anyones daughter which became a part of the Purple / Satriani setlist.

Hi Doug! Great reaction as always! You wondered why a small portion in Lazy sounded familiar to you. The part at the end where Ritchie is by himself on the guitar and Ian Paice joins in for a moment. What they play is actually a short snippet from Hugo Alfvén's "Swedish Rhapsody No. 1, Opus 19: Midsummer Vigil". I learned that from my cantor in church, who happened to also be a huge fan of Deep Purple and Jon Lord (and actually also Frank Zappa funny enough... the Smoke on the Water connection... 🙂). So it's no surprise you recognized the tune, being a classical musician and composer! As a swede I'm glad a piece of Swedish Rhapsody ended up on Made in Japan! 🙂 I will post a link to it below... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH-Qn2CLr6ySmsksi=zeVwjNOsu1vaYeIr

I couldn't place it, but yup, this is right. "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf", from Disney (YT has a 2;13 version that has Ritchie's quote right near the start). EDIT: But another commenter says it's Swedish Rhapsody Nº1 by Hugo Alfvén -- which yup, it is! So I guess Disney used that for the cartoon... The (or an?) other quote is "Louie Louie", at 16:34.

[@paulspalace]

Jon Lord got sounds from a Hammond that Hammond never put in there.

[@latheofheaven1017]

I've never heard a good run down of how Lord got those sounds. I've heard references to a ring modulator, but that doesn't explain much!

[@latheofheaven1017]

I remember seeing them live shortly after Made In Japan and he had a thing that looked like a rheostat like we had in physics class on the top of his Hammond, but again, never seen anything about what he was actually doing.

[@paulspalace]

@@latheofheaven1017 A lot of it stemmed from the fact he run them direct into Marshall amps and speakers generating a raw powerful sound, can never understand him going back to a Leslie system during the Mk III line up. I love the massive sound he gots from tipping the organ backward to almost tipping over then slamming it down.

[@Miwna]

As others mentioned, he used Marshall amps but also a Maestro (Gibson) Ring Modulator. A quote from around 1989: "The ring modulator operates as the central volume for the whole organ. There’s volume, pitch and modulation controls on it. If I really want to crank it up, the ring modulator gives me the overdrive sound". The organ also has a spring reverb which makes the crashing sounds he gets from slamming the organ.

[@ScienceTalkwithJimMassa]

@@paulspalace He went back to the Leslie because with Mk III, it was a return to a more bluesy sound which running the Hammond thru leslies would attain that sound.

[@stevenhopwood8195]

[@boolsson4639]

With only one song left after side three because there’s no encore on the vinyl. But they did two of three numbers as encores Black Night, Speed King or Little Richards Lucille. Black Night has a story. The band had just done Deep Purple in Rock and was very pleased with it. But the record company said “There’s no single here”. The band said “We don’t do singles”. But the record company said that they did and booked time in a studio the next day and told them “Go and write a hit single”. Very easy. They tried for a couple of hours but couldn’t come up with anything, so they went to a pub instead. And had a beer or 20 and got really, really drunk. Later they came back to the studio. Ritchie was sitting on the floor playing Rick Nelsons Summertime. They all joined in and they jammed for a while. Gillan wrote down anything anyone said and used that as lyrics. Roger said “I don’t feel so bright”, before throwing up. That’s line two of the lyrics. They went home without a song or so they thought. The next day the record company called and said “What a great single you made yesterday”. The band “Single? What single? Did we make a single last night?” They had no idea. So if anyone can understand the lyrics and what they mean please tell Gillan because he hasn’t got a clue. The single, Black Night, went to #4 on the top 100 list.

Ditch the keys and shaker PLEASE, It is so distracting to listening to the song being played. Anyway..... So how do they turn Space Truckin into a 20 min song? You play ‘Space Truckin’ pretty much as per the original studio recording, you then switch gears and tack on ‘Mandrake Root’ as the vehicle for a Jon Lord solo, you then switch gears again to ‘Fools’ as a vehicle for a Ritchie Blackmore solo. That’s how you do it, simple! Cheers,
