[@benjaminmarlatt6111]

If you want to be absolutely blown away by Deep Purple's musicianship, you gotta listen to Highway Star. Both Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore kill it with their solos.

[@Alewifes_Husband]

AND if you wanna be blown away by that song -- use the live version from Made In Japan (Double-live album). A bit faster than the studio version but still together and not a complete cocaine disaster ;-) Seriously the tempo is frantic but controlled and the vocals and musicians shine!

The organ is so unique in Deep Purple, Jon Lord's organ playing is my favorite part of Deep Purple!

Yeah, as a European you sometimes feel kind of insulted that Americans in general seem to remember them for one song and one song only. Here, they're right up there with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. In fact, here in Sweden they were bigger than either of the latter two. The biggest band of all, in any category.

[@6chhelipilot]

"Woman From Tokyo" Is a great DP song and also check out "Burn".

[@jdw5678]

Yes! My Woman From Tokyo is terrific!

[@mvellis3863]

"That sound" is the great Jon Lord (R.I.P.) playing a Hammond C-3 organ plugged directly into a Marshall amp. Deep Purple was one of the 3 main British hard rock/pre-metal bands (along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin). This is an early track from their original line up (Mark I). Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore soon after replaced the lead singer with Ian Gillan and the bass player with Roger Glover - the most iconic line up of the band (Mark II), which you reacted to on their classic Smoke On The Water. So many great songs, suggest you try Lazy, Highway Star, Child In Time, or Burn next.

[@andyo3689]

Was it a C-3? Every time I saw them Jon had a B-3 (much more durable) but it was 68 when this was made and I didn't see them until Ian Gillian was their singer.

@@genabourassa7962 Yes! I just commented about this track before finding these comments. Great song that tends to get overlooked.

[@benshafer5198]

The first hit (1968) from an amazingly talented band. This one was a cover of an American songwriter and composer Joe South. There were a few covers of it, but this one took off and helped them get some great exposure. Jon Lord's keys really shine on this track (RIP). They got more into blues heavy rock later and the song 'Lazy' is an excellent example of that. Cheers guys!

[@NeverGiddy]

Ben Shafer - Its a cover of a 1967 Billy Joe Royal song that was written by Joe South. South recorded it in 1969. Rose Garden and Hush were both written by South and on that 1967 Billy Joe Royal album. South was a talented musician and song writer. Royal is most known for the song, "Down in the Boondocks", also written by South.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

There have been several different lineups of this band, with the constant being the drummer Ian Paice, the organist Jon Lord and the guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. This is with their first lead vocalist, Rod Evans. They had another pretty popular song with him, a cover of Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman"...

[@neillenet291]

Actually Hush is a cover as well.

[@wagstaff6135]

Lord, R.I.P., and they soldier on, but really at this point Steve Morse has been their guitarist much longer than Blackmore was, if we’re talking about “constants”! Of course I get your meaning, Lord and Blackmore and Paice were constants for what people consider their “classic era” (or eras?). I must admit I love many of their much more recent albums though.

[@billyrampersad1750]

Rod Evans on Vocals and Nick Simper on Bass Guitar ...

[@gregsager2062]

The only constant in Deep Purple over the decades has been the sorely underrated Ian Paice on drums. Jon Lord, who died a few years ago, long ago gave way to Don Airey on keyboards, and Blackmore quit the band in the mid-'70s and was replaced by guitar wunderkind (and doomed junkie) Tommy Bolin.

You've gotta react to "Child In Time", the live version from 1970. Y'all like powerful vocals... well, you ain't heard nothin' 'til you hear singer Ian Gillan's wailing. As an extra incentve to check it out, Richie Blackmore plays part of his guitar solo with one hand...

[@TheZumph]

Scandinavian nights is the only version

[@aaradia]

The guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore. His other bands are Rainbow and Blackmore's Night. Blackmore's Night is a totally different sound - Renaissance Folk Rock. That might be a good one for a female Friday, as the lead singer is Candice Night.

[@jalkabre5904]

[@jonathansmith3742]

I like that I have been listening to this for a handful of decades. Still kicks serious ass.

[@CaptainTedStryker]

"THAT SOUND" you were asking about is when Jon Lord plays chords on the organ very quickly, with both hands alternating so that one chord starts while the previous chord can still be heard. Very hard to play, but very very cool effect.

[@erikthompson619]

Exactly! If my memory serves me correctly, that technique was something he brought with him from when he started out as a piano player in his very early youth.

[@steveansley5192]

[@lisarainbow9703]

What was that sound, you asked? John Lord playing a Hammond organ, through a Leslie speaker, with the "percussion" setting. The Leslie speaker captures the sound waves coming from the organ, and literally spins it, which creates different sounds, depending on the speed of oscillation.

[@gregwatson3300]

Knew it was a Hammond, but not the other specifics. Thanks for the insight!

[@TriGator]

Probably playing the venerable Hammond B3.

This was from their first album. the original lineup was definitely more of a "60s" sound, kinda bluesy and psychedelic. They replaced the singer and bass player after three albums and went for a much heavier sound and became one of the originators of heavy metal. Their second lineup is considered their "classic" lineup, and is much more well-known. Their entire catalog is fantastic!

Yeah, Mark Stein's organ playing has been more influential to the world of (heavy) rock than most people realise. Both Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and Yes got the idea for their respective sounds from him. He also went on to do great things with Alice Cooper and the late Tommy Bolin.

[@francisseidel8014]

The answer to Jay question of "what was that?" It was Jon Lord on the Hammond organ. It was NOT screeching guitar - It was Jon on Hammond. Jon was revolutionary. When you were noting the "drums", you weren't aware that part of that percussion was the Hammond organ keys being "chopped" by Jon using the click/percussion settings on the organ. That lead with the rapid percussion at the end was all JON LORD. Jon was the reason I wanted to learn to play the organ. He was a visionary-running his Hammond through both the traditional rotating Leslie cabinet and a specially wired screaming distorted Marshall amp - just like the lead guitar players used! He also, well before MIDI allowed keyboards to be connected, had an RMI electric piano wired into the bottom keyboard of his Hammond so that he could play both organ and electric piano sounds at the same time. He made Deep Purple a unique power house rock band. RIP Jon.

Deep Purple was around late 60s to mid 70s. Think they got back together in mid 80s with some of the old members. This song was definitely from late 60s because I remember it from high school and I graduated in 1970. I was a Navy brat flower child hippie chick! Thanks for always making me smile ✌❤

I play the bass guitar. This is actually one of my favorite songs to play. Everybody knows it. Everybody in the studio can take a solo and just have a jam-fest. It is a really simple tune
