"Space Truckin" (Live in Japan) by Deep Purple (Drummer Reacts)

[@L33Reacts]

What track from this album are we doing next week? This was an absolute mind fuck of a song LOL I WANTED TO PLAY IT AGAIN... after 20 minutes. Crazy.

[@alldayadventures5418]

Best Drum Solo ever recorded live is "The Mule" from this same album.

[@realbser1956]

Just do the whole album boss, or at least the rest of the songs you’ve not heard.

[@CliffordLake]

I don't know, feelin' Lazy?

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Lazy !

[@richarddevine205]

Can I say this on here? The entire fucking album!!! This album, Allman Brothers live at Fillmore East, Lou Reed 'rock and roll animal" and Blue Oyster Cult 'on your feet or on your knees' were my favorite live albums then and still are now. I saw Deep Purple live in 1974 when they performed at California Jam 1. I have since added the 'pulse' concert by Pink Floyd to that list of live performances.

[@rakeshadhin]

Ian Paice is the only band member to play non-stop during the whole song, which is insane! Let's applaud him for his stamina, technique and creativity.

[@fortiterinresuaviterinmodo5549]

The best hard rock band of all time

[@mikedown3219]

That is a musical statement. Been enjoying it for 50 plus years

[@marksimpson1991]

No band was ever tighter or could turn on a dime like those guys. No band.

[@massimopescatori6514]

Ian Paice ... exceptional drummer, fundamental in the history of rock ... on this song he is a beast, an unstoppable, powerful, precise runaway train...

[@VereinPlatzhirschamHirschenpla]

This is an amazing track, the whole album is probably the best live Album in Rock 'n' Roll history.

[@GoblinGuy333]

Looking for a double live album showcasing a kick-ass band at the peak of their power? You found it. Few can compare to this....

[@danielmacdonald8349]

Without a doubt the best live album ever. This album was recorded in August 1972. I was lucky enough to see DP in June of 1972 - about 2 months before this was recorded. The set list was just about identical to Made In Japan. Actually when the album came out in 1973 my buddy and I thought it could have been recorded at our concert. To this VERY day the best concert I’ve ever seen - and I’ve seen TONS of concerts.

[@whitedrguy6503]

Bit of a bold statement, lots of bands had epic live albums in the seventies released killer live albums, Zeppelin, Queen, Status Quo, Slade, Scorpions, Thin Lizzy, Rush, just to name a few, it is just a matter of taste as to what you prefer.

[@piloupim4706]

Totally agree… best live album in history…period.

[@iancford]

It just stands out....I don't know why but it just has an extra bit of sparkle when compared to other excellent live albums by Quo, Lizzy, Floyd, etc. I think it is the energy level of the whole band and the way they gelled on these performances.

[@stevepas1]

Boy do I miss the 70s❤

[@Upe-f9c]

If Ian Paice hadn´t kept it all together so well, we would probably never seen the other guys again rocketing out to space.

[@alldayadventures5418]

JOY, Joy, Joy... You have been reviewing Deep P for a while and you finally found their best work. This album has been acclaimed to be in the TOP 5 for best live albums ever. SPACE TRUCKIN IS THE BEST... Let's Go Space Truckin...!

[@L33Reacts]

Let’s go space truckin! Come on! I will never forget that EVER lol

[@victorstefanovsky6902]

Deep Purple never performed one song the same way. They improvised, this is a 3 minute song turned 20. This is what great musicians do.

[@vicprovost2561]

The jam of all jams from this great band, this is the mother load for any Deep Purple fan. Made in Japan, as good as it gets, enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶🔥

[@delorangeade]

The most exciting live band I've ever seen. The whole 1972 live show is available on video, filmed in Copenhagen. It's worth watching to actually see what Ian Paice is doing on The Mule.

[@L33Reacts]

I’ll have to check that out thank you for suggesting it 🙏

[@alericksonof1967]

Consider backing up a few years for context. Here is a juxtaposition from August 1969. Hendrix is playing Woodstock as the hippie flower power time is coming to a close. Across the Atlantic in Europe Deep Purple is playing at a festival in Belguim. The band is on fire. Blackmore, Lord and Paice take no prisoners. Blackmore the godfather of the neo classical style is shredding at high speed as he sweep picks, dive bombs with whammy bar driven harmonic feedback, ripping through jazz stylings, classical and Arabic scales, a rumbling wall of sound .... and Blackmore moves back and forth during the concert from Gibson to Strat .... please give this a listen you will not be disappointed and expect many will be surprised kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHTWpKd7nclki9U

[@themactigers1609]

Hi there- is it available on KZbin?

[@delorangeade]

@@themactigers1609 It might be. I've certainly seen people reacting to individual tracks from the show, including The Mule.

[@michaelkarlsson5966]

It's the same songs yes, but not the same performance. The versions on Made in Japan and Live in Copenhagen are vastly different in comparison. Lucky us :)

[@warpig6067]

Welcome to the real rock world young man.

[@richarddevine205]

This is why teens of the late 60's and the 70's had such strong necks, an entirely different workout then the mosh pits of today. 😂

[@jsbach6529]

Proud to say I got this when it came out and I was only in the 4th grade, and wore it out on one of those huge console furniture all-in-one stereos, where you'd open the varnished wooden lid and look down on the spinning disk below. Great memories of that, and Black Sabbath Vol. 4 !

[@vicprovost2561]

Spot on! I remember those days...

[@ericrice5501]

Check out "The Mule" in Copenhagen - made for drummer lovers.

[@skyscraper7474]

Are you serious? With the Made in Japan version you suggest the Copenaghen one? Really?

[@dawntucker5052]

He just did the made in Japan one yesterday. Great video 👌🤘

[@mana3735]

Nice one, Lee. My older brother had this album back in the late 70s when i was about 11 or 12...top track. When he was out, i used to have a sneak listen. Always amazed me,. Good description, mate...couldn't have put it better.

[@L33Reacts]

That was a ride and a half lol I’m glad you have some good memories with it… I’m sure this will stick with me like whipping post did. Something special about the live versions…

[@lotusblossom7411]

Superfast galloping drum beat super difficult for drummers for it not to get away from you, WOW.

[@thomassullivan9692]

My left hand (in Ian's case, his right) is feeling arthritic just thinking about keeping up those continuous fast doubles on the snare.

[@jraben1065]

This is one of the GREAT live Rock albums. But please don't miss watching the 1971 British TV of "Child In Time". That video will give you an unforgettable image of these 5 amazing musicians in their prime, showing just how great their live performances were. (Finally watching this Video is like finally seeing "Ball & Chain" by Janis Joplin at Monterey Pop, or "Young Man Blues" by The Who at Isle of Wight.) This Video will positively effect your mind, and influence every song you will ever hear by them after that.

[@hampyonce]

Paice was every bit as badass as Ward, Bonham, etc...IMHO. He's remarkable and under appreciated.

[@γιωργοςροδιτης-σ9ε]

My most beloved live song from any rock-metal band ever!

[@davidgardiner4620]

As well it should be brah

[@EricSmaug]

CAN THEY ROCK? HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@mosstensson]

I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see you react to something I loved for my entire life. Made In japan is the soundtrack to my life! Thanks!

[@g.e.5723]

Paice and Glover, none better!

[@damirhlobik6488]

Lake & Palmer, maybe? big fan of ELP and DP

[@HT-io1eg]

Ian, Mr, fucking Pace!!! Ian, ‘yeah that’s right mutha’ Gillan

[@SnoopySnoops1]

Thanks Lee! In-cred-ibbble!

[@alericksonof1967]

Note the encore after Space Truckin starts with a killer version of Black Night, then a vicious version of Speed King followed by Lucille

[@ripvanwinkle2002]

Ian Paice is the pacesetter for this track... he is the rock this cathedral of sound and metal is built on...

[@shirleybhs9zd6li5i]

Wowser. What a fantastic trip......or was it a flashback? A real headbanger. Thanks for this one, I'm happily exhausted. A+ reaction, Lee. Blessings all.

[@L33Reacts]

I’m glad you enjoyed Shirley! I had a BLAST with this. If that wasn’t apparent enough haha

[@ChuckDrennen]

Despite the popularity of short songs on the radio, we enjoyed the hell out of the long songs like this

[@realdocloco]

I discovered them with that album, around 1975 (I was 14) ... too late to see them live, as they would split one year later. I was desperate, thinking I would never see them live ... and then miracle, they reformed in '84 and I got to see them in this favorite line-up!

[@sundance8744]

I was just ten at the time and heard “Japan” around ‘75/76x. Absolutely blown away. Still been .

[@circulation69]

Those sounds were Jon Lord playing his Hammond through a Marshall amp via a Ring Modulator. Nobody rocked a keyboard like Jon Lord!

[@ponytrekker8996]

And Blackmore playing the volume knob on his guitar..

[@alericksonof1967]

And then at the 13 minute mark Blackmore comes wailing whammy bar overdrive like dinosaurs mating ….and slows down to the cello sounding volume swells ….masters at work

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I love everything about that. And man does that rhythm section cook when it gets going and they just hold it steady with incredible endurance. And like you say, they're clearly having fun. There's a great live version of Lazy floating around on YT, and it gives a lot of close-ups of them playing. I bet you would absolutely love it. And it's shorter, but still an extended journey. ❤

[@ceeceerider]

Yeah baby! ❤

[@weshoward450]

Definitely BOSS level Deep Purple! Who am I kidding - that's boss level for the whole genre!!!!

[@smithpm81]

when i was 13 years old me and my friends called this LP the bible, as it was perfect in every way

[@cosmiccat6708]

I'm too old to do the neck thing now but my feet didn't stop moving as I lounged on the sofa digging this reaction. I was only 10 years old when this came out, so I envy the audience witnessing this phenomenal performance. This album will always be in my top 10, for sure. Love, love, love this band. Great reaction Lee, (energiser bunny, lol). Hope you do the rest of the album.

[@howardgott4946]

If you only buy one live album……buy this one.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

One thing that impresses me so much about Ian and his singing, is that he definitely was foreshadowing later metal singing, but he was doing it largely without effects. But effects are absolutely the cornerstone of any more modern metal voice like that. I saw Slipknot twice, about 5 years apart, and the first one was when they were really exploding, and you could tell he was already starting to lose his voice just 5 years later. AND he used a ton of vocal effects. Not that the newer stuff isn't great in its own way, I'm just saying it's amazing what Ian was doing that far back with mostly just his voice and some reverb.

[@lugnut4848]

Truely one of the greatest live albums ever recorded! 🤩 every one of them at the top of their craft!!! 🤘 My favorite, drummer, guitarist, bass player and the ultimate keyboardist!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@waynelovell1958]

My favourite band and live album for 52 years seen them several times and they always nail it and always blow my mind 🇬🇧🎸💜

[@ROUGHSEES]

This vidro is so awesome. Deep Purple is the ultimate rock band. You got it 👍

[@capt.k6554]

Well that was fun to listen to while I exercise on my treadmill.

[@vicprovost2561]

Makes you pick up the pace!

[@jamesharper3933]

Jon Lord was an absolute demon on keyboards. For that "spacey" sound, Jon Lord used a ring modulator and an ARP Synthesizer along with his Hammond organ. RIP Jon.

[@mikemitton6447]

Made in Japan is one of the greatest Live Albums ever made!

[@dawntucker5052]

Came back and watched this again after the mule yesterday... this album is extraordinary 👌

[@Kerazen123]

That's how you do it!!

[@marksimpson1991]

One of the few live songs, that comes to mind, that is almost as stupendous a live jam is Yours Is No Disgrace off of Yessongs.

[@NoviJimB]

What a collection of musicians. All masters at their instruments. This album was a big deal back in 73. I discovered Machine Head in early 73 and went nuts over it, they started playing the live stuff on the radio around that time. Smoke on The Water was the one played the most on the radio back then, Highiway Star some. Not sure I ever heard this one. Total improvisation (other than the verses/choruses).

[@phonebone81]

I feel like I'm in a time capsule when I was younger and Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and many other blues musicians like The Stones, The Doors, and a few later Deep Purple and ZEP were my daily companions. But there are of course a few more that are among my favorites. Thank you for sharing another one of the old bands - I like your commitment to 70's music ;-)) Best wishes @all from hamburg / germany

[@Coquinagirl]

It’s a powerful one.

[@glass2467]

Back when I was a kid hearing this for the first time, that organ solo with its great and weird distortion really tripped me out. It was so insane and new to me at that time, it sounded dangerous. Love it!! That was back in the 70s. My older brother had 4 albums that blew me away, and they have become some of my favorites even today. Led Zeppelin II, Made in Japan, Steppenwolf, and Birds of Fire.

[@skyscraper7474]

Just the fact that you ate, maybe the only one, that reacts deep purple live from MADE IN JAPAN, make the best reacter and in my top of them! Applause!!! ..ciao, un tuo fan dall' Italia🖐

[@shiannesmith6877]

THAT WAS AWESOME😮😮😮

[@GGLee315]

I broke into a smile when I saw you’re doing this one!!

[@Relayer6a]

Ian Paice is the most underrated drummer in rock.

[@laurenzgraffilpenstein8117]

Live 70s Purple is the real monster, esp this one

[@SheilaThompson-od5tr]

Imagine being at those very concerts and having the Made In Japan album as your personal memento. Fantastic.

[@nikosalmpanis-ty3jt]

Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple the holy triad of rock music🤘

[@L33Reacts]

You can’t beat that. Those are the three that ran with it and never looked back. I love it.

[@ronnienose8608]

Incredible to think this was recorded on just an 8-track.

[@smithpm81]

amazing LP

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

Jumping energy🔥Come On!

[@Patrice-rs1jg]

Leur meilleur album live 🎸👏👍👍👏👍👍

We always skipped the album on this one; jumping around like fools; having a blast.

[@micolsen9824]

So powerful. Thanks.

[@DavidMorgan-e1s]

When you said at the start " I'm ready " I thought ,no your not !

[@dawntucker5052]

😂🤘🤘🤘

[@erolbulut2584]

Ian Paice

[@corawheeler9355]

What a trip. Thank you

[@MatthewBerginGarage]

I certainly was tripping when I heard it for the first time shortly after the album was released. 😉🙃 I never ended up liking the machine head album much and thought it sounded dead because I heard this fantastic album performance first.

[@peterscott-jones8797]

The strange thing about the LP cover is that the picture on the front is from an appearance at the Rainbow theatre in London.

[@kevinlundgren1169]

I asked for this for my 10th birthday and my sister got it for me! It is still to me, , the greatest Rock 'N' Roll album ever, just the overall album!! Yes, you should be warned to listen to Ian Paice from the beginning, he carries the beat for that 18 minute song!!!! Another good one off that album is Strange Kind Of Woman!!!

[@stevenlineberger3333]

Ian Gillan plays bongos during these longer jams, just like on the album cover. So you basically got Ian powered percussion for nearly twenty minutes of neck hurting fun!

[@mikedown3219]

Strange Kind of Woman

[@adnilrummut105]

ian paice heavily underrated and at his best here!!! there was no drummer in rock at those times, who could be fairly compared with ian. better than the bonhams and so on. tony williams and billy cobham e.g. were the gamechanger but not part of the heavy rock scene....THIS IS THE REAL DEAL

[@johnbeaney1237]

Had this album along with what was standard fair to those of as as early to mid teens in the 70's, Led Zeppelin, Sabbath, more Purple, Budgie,Tull, E.L.P, the list goes on. The rock mus scene was fantastic back then and definitely shaped many of our attitudes n out look.

[@L33Reacts]

One of the best ever! I’ve only heard two tracks from it and it’s already one of the best I’ve ever heard lol

[@ScienceTalkwithJimMassa]

Back in the 70s, I had to listen to this every day. Made In Japan is the best live rock album ever. That is all Jon until he and Ritchie join in with that matching runs. He used a ring modulator to get those sounds out of the Hammond. If you look at the cover of Made In Japan, on top of Jon's Hammond, there is a little box to Jon's left. That is the ring modulator. and what do you think of Jon and Ritchie matching those runs?))

[@themactigers1609]

It’s strange - this was my favourite album when I was 13 and now at 63 I still listen to it. I’m sure many people would think that a 20 minute track must be a very boring listen. But when you actively listen to this track you really understand how good these 5 musicians really were. It’s certainly an assault on your senses but in a very positive way. Ian Paice is simply phenomenal on this track and his ability to lead and then follow where this music journey takes them all is nothing less than astounding. Sustaining brilliance over 20 minutes is no easy feat and yet they don’t only manage it they completely surpass expectations in every way. There is no filler on this track nor this album. Highly recommended.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

A real smoker.

[@HT-io1eg]

Hey buddy, just Patreon joined. Deep Purple are next level and the live in Japan stuff is pure masturbatory pleasure. Listen to that monster, overdriven Hammond!! Insane!!

[@L33Reacts]

Awesome man glad to have you! Yeah that Hammond is being pushed to the brink of exploding here lol I love it so damn much. Thank you for watching! And for joining Patreon.

[@TheBillbran]

Yesss Thank Yooou!!!!

[@L33Reacts]

How could I not??? This was amazing lol

[@supobostarman]

Watching you is like seeing myself reacting to this album for the first time almost 50 years ago. Headphones. Hell, even the hair man! This totally blew my mind back then and I'm now 64 and it still does! Great reaction! By the way, Deep Purple just released two new songs! Good stuff and still their sound even though they are almost 80! Check it out here on KZbin!

[@shiannesmith6877]

COME 0N! ❤😂

[@ignaziofalchi1048]

Brano e disco veramente SPAZIALE! Immortali i DP.

[@michaelheimlich9161]

Favorite track on the album. Saw the Mark II lineup live 1985 Montreal Forum. They were 13 years older than when MIJ was recorded but just as good, 3 hours of ear-blasting, body shattering music.

[@korbal61]

I think the better thing is doing Side 3 next , then Side 2 and finally Side 1

[@kevinlundgren1169]

And still my favorite!!

[@louisfifteen]

When the opportunity presents itself take the journey into Rainbow Live in Germany 1976. I my books one of the greatest live rock guitar albums. Blackmore takes no prisoners and is on fire …and then there is Cozy Powell on drums ..

[@robertwatson2823]

Three of the best live albums I have ever heard are, this album, Humble Pie - Rockin' the Filmore and the Allman Brother Band - Live at the Filmore.

At the end they capture the sound of 'Nostromo' landing.

[@robinreiley1828]

"Clem" and I had just finished an 18 hour day, at Giants Stadium, building the Rolling Stones Bridges to Babylon stage, and went up to my van to relax. I turned in the radio and " Highway Star" comes on I look over at Clem and there is a Tear in his Eye...I ask him what's up, and he says, " Spring of 72, I was 18 , sweeping floors at SeeFactor's London Lighting Shop , and the "Machine Head" album hits the charts. They wanted to Tour behind it, but all the SeeFactor technicians were out on other Tours, so they sent Me!! I was on the Road for the Next 25 years!!"

[@helwic]

I‘ve seen that live in Frankfurt/West-Germany in Jan. 1973

[@ponytrekker8996]

There is a live video of this song from New York 1973 in color..edited to 10 minutes but it’s still excellent.

[@ShiverHinge]

Highway Star is fun. Or did you do that already? Yeah, this is one of the best albums ever, live or not. I thought your head was going to smash out of my monitor you were getting into so much! LOL We used to blast this (8-track) driving around getting stoned in my friend's Cutlass 442 convertible. Good times. Brain Salad Sandwich!

[@robertwatson2823]

If you want to see and hear Ian killing it on a drum solo watch the live version of "The Mule".
