Space Truckin' - Deep Purple [Made In Japan] (Remastered Edition)

This is the version of Space Truckin' taken from the remastered version of the album "Made in Japan" featuring Deep Purple playing live in Japan in August, 1972.
This is easily one of the best albums going, ever! Purple were at their prime during this recording and actually didn't like the idea of recording a live album at the time but thank God that they did!
Rest in Peace Jon Lord (9th June 1941 -- 16th July 2012)
~ Lineup ~
Ian Gillan - Vocals
Ritchie Blackmore - Guitar
Roger Glover - Bass
Jon Lord - Organ
Ian Paice - Drums

[@kevwoods6827]

Let’s get ready for the metronome Mr Ian Paice 🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@stefan_becker]

@@kevwoods6827 Honestly, LZ were never as good as a live band. Jimmy Page always played a little bit sloppy live. Eddie Van Halen has said that many times. Also LZ live improvisations with violin bow etc. were imho mostly "weird", but not up to the musical level and technical brilliance of Deep Purple. However LZ were imho better as song writers. There's no "Stairway To Heaven" or "Kashmir" by Deep Purple. In the end they were both incredible bands with weaknesses and strengths of their own.

[@lukasmarzell3730]

Jon lord improvisation classic stuff.... and working with a ring modulator, it produced one of the best space truckin ever. Gillans voice is so strong here, full headvoice falsetto. And the rest of the band.... are simply awesome paice drumming the whole way through.... he and glover where the locomotive pf the band. At least we have a guitarswinging and violintone controll from blackmore. Crowd who saw the whole show where witness of the best live show. 16 August 1972 early morning is a Milestone... its nearly musicial and technical impossible for a todays generation to play like this.... They where at their absolute peak. Best of the best.

[@BAT1972ALEN]

[@dondrysdale7297]

yes, Zep was great at what they did, but there wasn't many bands ever that was doing what Purple was exactly, and about the closest thing to them then was Yes. it would be nice if more people here got that you can't do what Purple did then, unless you have strong understand of jazz as well as classical--Zep was far more of a blues band. i heard this album myself long before i started listening to jazz regularly, so i actually do thank these guys for leading to advanced ears.

[@joelombrdo]

Yes, I've been a Gillan fan since back in 1973. He ruined his voice with smoking, drinking, singing songs out of his range (when he was with Sabbath). Pity because he was the greatest rock vocalist of all time during this period.

[@christianlewis6252]

For me I always thought Glenn Hughes was waaaay better player plus he could sing as good as Dude here aaaand Glenn is still hitting those highs at 70 something.....Mach 3 I think was just as great as 2 hands down..... Coverdale a long with Hughes were just tops... Stormbringer says it all....
