Ritchie was 71 years old at that concert ....what a giant!!! ... All respect

[@m42037]

And?

[@faustoorieta]

@Walter you don't get how this works, if he keeps playing is because people wanna watch him play and he wants to do it, both parties win. The rest of the band is great, but people go see Ritchie. If you don't like it, don't watch it. It's not like him playing is keeping the young generation from taking the spotlight. There's room for everyone in this era.

[@celsofranca4053]

OMG, 71 and still rocking !

[@ryuzhanov]

Amazing!!! Ritchie Blackmore 4ever!!!

[@therealawakener7]

Ritchie Blackmore is a fucking living legend, a rock god amongst fallen angels pretending to rock. Let's face it he's in his 70's now but, he's still got it, he may be waning and fraying around the edges just a little now, but he's earn't his stripes. A guitarist in a league all on his own with his own sound, tone, phrasing and a unique sense of melody. There's something magical about Blackmore's hands, he's one of a kind. And he's BRITISH!!!

[@mackydog99]

I've been a Purple fan since the late sixties. Richie Blackmore is my all time favorite guitarist.....period!

[@LetterNumberPeriodDashUndersco]

My god, I just saw this concert for the first time and the man is just as good as he was in 1972.

[@gurselozal9619]

Blackmore is Still rocking.Great, high quality, classic rock like it used to be..

[@christineayres5339]

gursel ozal lol I know most other Guitarists from his era would gave lost the technical ability to play like this at 70 years of age but Blackmore keeps going strong

[@MrAlcides1611]

You are right, my friend. His style has never changed. Another great solo as Always...

[@bojanbelic957]

The drummer is not so good, i mean, he plays without coherency, like parted blocks, you know what i mean.

[@guitarmemoir]

+gursel ozal I still play the Highway Star solo every day(Machine Head version) to warm up, and the last part he plays here is a very dumbed-down substitution. The hammer-ons and pull-offs he does through the last part of the solo (that he loosely follows off the record) featured fast alternate picked quad notes on Machine Head. Here he uses legato eighth-note triplets...one less note per lick and a much different feel. Probably nitpicking for most fans, but I was very disappointed to see how much he had let his technique fall by the wayside. In fairness, Blackmore's Knight is a much different gig. But by the same token if I had paid to see him play like that, I wouldn't have been very happy. Not trying to be a know-it-all jerk, but I work my ass off to keep my chops up, while he doesn't...and he is Ritchie Blackmore and I am nobody.

[@bojanbelic957]

Well i am a Zepp. fan, but i can not be unfair, friend. Richie did that in 1971. and it was a revolution in a guitar solo approach. No one before him did the Bach progression and the baroque arpeggios on strat. That was a neoclassical thing a decade before Friedman, Becker, Malmsteen etc. In a guitar term Richie was important, no doubt. And i saw many players playing that solo, but on the record , he plays constant right hand up and down , staccato, and the left hand do that pull of thing. It is much difficult to play that solo like that, the same number of notes in a right and left hand, i think on triola parts.But i am not interesting in guitar at all. Page was a magician, and Zepp were much bigger band, it is a fact. Purple turned to parody, a cover versions of the previous band, Zepp. went to history as a untouched myth.

Blackmore: the greatest guitar player! But sadly, the most underrated.

[@Cableguy15]

@Walter You'll have to explain that one for those of us who don't know then. I thought he was the guy who invented one of the catchiest and most recognized guitar riffs of all-time, and also widely considered to have created one of the best solos of all-time, all in the same album. lol Don't get me wrong, some people worship the guy when it's not deserved, but he still did some amazing things all throughout the 70's with Deep Purple and Rainbow.

Love this, love it, love it! Amazing sound of the band and the lead vocal, and Blackmore's tone is still epic, mystical and mysterious. He is in my all-time list of rock guitarists. He has a take on tone that is so recognizable like all the greats; Beck, Gary Moore, Page, Clapton, Gilmour, Peter Green, Rory Gallagher and others.
