In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm continuing my journey through the classic double live album Made in Japan by Deep Purple. Today, we're listening to side 2 directly from my vinyl copy, including the songs Smoke on the Water and The Mule. I had heard Smoke on the Water before...but not this live version! And, this was my first time hearing The Mule...and I really grooved to Ian's great drumming in that track. Come along for the ride for an enjoyable Masterpiece Friday!

straight from Ian Paice. Ian got the inspiration for his drum track on the Mule from Ringo Starr on Tomorrow Never Knows and just added his rolls which is on the studio version. Ringo is one of Ian's favorite drummers. cheers
The greatest live album ever and no overdubs at all, recorded by Martin Birch just as it happened. Five outstanding musicians at the top of their game all at the same time.
The best LP ever. All Songs are great. The Mule is a masterpiece by Ian Paice. Great
The end of "Smoke....." is a great battle between Blackmore and Lord. More than 50 years have passed and it is still the best live album in the history of hard-rock.
I love Ritchie's savage guitar sound on this.😃
This live version from "Made in Japan" was the first time I ever heard "Smoke on the Water" back in the 1970s and for me it is still THE definitive and very best version of the song. Absolutely superb!. And as for "The Mule" -what a drummer Ian Paice is! Enough said.
Agree re Smoke on the Water. I am no fan of most drum solos, and I confess I prefer the Fireball original of The Mule. But, that said, Ian's solo here is about as brilliant as they come in the heavy rock genre - it showcases how great a drummer he is.
@@adriangoodrich4306 Agree 100% on all counts mate 👍
Agreed! 👍
The absolute best version of this song. Jon Lord is amazing here.
IMO, there is no contest. This live version blows away the studio album version. It’s the greatest live song ever recorded!
"Everything louder than everything else."
That bit of banter between Ian and his sound tech later became the name of a Motörhead album.
It's Ritchie who says it first in the background
@@Dibbdroid Ian Gillan also says, "A bit more monitor if ya got it".
@@CB-xr1eg he does but in the background, before Ian speaks Ritchie says the words.
Sequence:
Ian Gillan: "yeah everything up here....please.. and a bit more monitor if you've got it?..........Ah"
Ritchie Blackmore (low in mix) "can we have everything louder than everything else?"
Ian Gillan "yeah, can he have everything louder than everything else........ right.... ha ha..."
You can hear it first just before Jimi Hendrix comes on stage at the Isle of Wight festival, that might have been Lemmy, he did roadie for Jimi for a while!👍
@@ThinPicks no. "A bit more volume on this one Charlie, he's going to need it", and it wasn't Lemmy
Ian such a great drummer!! Always thought he was underrated big time!
Jon Lord is why I became a Purple fan over heavier metal or say Zep.
That combination of rock and Hammond organ just spoke to me like nothing else in the genre.
Same here. Absolutely addicted to that glorious hammon organ. That's also why I prefer Uriah Heep to Zep as well.
Made in Japan quite possibly the best live album of all time
Bruce Dickinson said that. "And it was recorded on an 8 track or something"
Definitely in my top 4
@@FuturePast2019Yes it was! Just on small, portable device. 👍
Absolutely!
Overrated
You can hear how much Ian respects the classic jazz drummers like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa - this is not a 'typical' rock drum solo, but far more complex and rich. The absolute master.
Fireball, one of the most underrated albums.
Fools is on that album one of the best songs ever written and recorded by Deep Purple.
Highly recommended for a first listen.
You’ve just got to love Ian Paice’s work on the hi hat, on Smoke on the Water
Not bad for a left - hander!
With how many times I have heard the song, the hi hats are almost the only reason I don't skip it. Just so great and dynamic. Roger's bass tone here also helps.
I can’t believe it took so outrageously long for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame to induct Deep People.
Have you ever been to the Rock Hall? Who is in and who is not is very confusing to me as a follower of rock.
I think Alex Lifeson summed it up pretty well when Rush was inducted… “Blah blah blah? Blah blah blah blah!!!”
That HoF is a complete joke
No Iron Maiden, nuff said
@@JosesAmazingWorlds Exactly.
Listen to " Strange Kind of Woman" and at the end how Ian sings along with the guitar perfectly.
Agreed. Seems like he's trying to get through the album.
Ian Paice is extremely rudimental. He is very jazzy in his approach. But full of power. Plenty of single and double paradiddles, double stroke rolls,
Thx for playing part 2. one of best rock albums ever. Greetings from Maastricht, NL
A simple guitar intro but nobody does it better than Ritchie
Shout out to the legend Claude Nobs.
There has only been one consistent member of the band, through all the iterations. It is Ian's band. That's why they're so fucking metal.
Which Ian?
I guess he means Ian Paice who along with the late Jon Lord were the only permanent members.
Never Metal!
English Hard Rock with a drummer who 'Swings' the beat at every opportunity.
Melodic, dynamic, blues, classical and experimental but never Metal!
@@electricladyguitarsdevonuk1414 They were proto-metal. A lot of metal bands have been influenced. Just listen to In Rock for example.
@vladimirvelikov8115
I guess chilli was part of a salad before curry was invented.
To me, the definitive Deep Purple track is Lazy (MIJ), so I focus on how far from Metal that is
If you love organ Doug Lazy and Spacetruckin will send you into space.
I really hope he does a breakdown of the 19 minute Space Trucking, greatest Rock recording EVER.
@@JohnSmith-mx8wp He is halfway into The Made in Japan breakdown.
Just Strange Kind of Woman, Lazy and Spacetruckin to go. 👍
My ears rang audibly for 5 days after seeing Deep Purple.
In the 1970s they were said to be the loudest band anywhere. Sadly, I never got to see them then.
Stage left row 15, my buddy and I had to leave near the end. His ear was bleeding. Great night!
@@adriangoodrich4306 Yeah, same for me. I was 12-13 when Made in Japan was released and was a little bit too young when they did their Europe tour after Japan. But a few years later I had the album on tape, playing it on my cassette player during the summer when tenting.
But at least I got to see Rainbow with Blackmore, Dio and Powell during their Rising tour in 77.
My first big show was their 1985 Kenbworth gig. Fantastic, covered in mud, cider and piss, and similar, ears ringing for days.
@@adriangoodrich4306 117 decibels....they were in the Guinness book of records
One of the best live albums ever
I remember hearing this version on FM stations in the early 70’s. Smoke on the water is best represented on this live album.
“Can we have everything louder than everything else” is also really funny.
I don't think Doug heard that because he was yapping.
I always loved that
I sometimes say that when at work and everybody wants something done first!
I love that intro to "The Mule". It's so symphonic, it seems almost like an overture.
My best mate & I listen & listened AND listened again..... on cassette - we were around 14/15 - fabulous!
One of the most primal rock'n'roll riffs! I wore out Machine Head.
Amazing album.
Great recording.. That drum sound. Rock Forever
Being an old git, I've both "Made in Japan" and the "Machine Head" on vinyl. The gatefold of "Machine Head" has photographs of the fire, the set up in the closed Grand Hotel where they recorded and Claude Nobs ("aka Funky Claude"). As well as "pulling kids out of the ground" Claude walked the casino's owner's elderly mother out. She was the last one out and hadn't been aware of the fire until Claude came and got her.
Really glad you're gradually doing the whole album Doug. My favourite side (3) is coming next! I don't think they're are many live albums that give a genuine impression of just how ridiculously loud it would've been. This one does. This was Deep Purple at their best. Now if only I could get a time machine...
All the big bands of the seventies had very long drum solos. It was indeed the smoking, drinking part of the show for the rest of the band. This also worked for radio DJs. John Bonham's Moby Dick was famous for this.
Fireball is also a classic album, it's position between In Rock & Machine Head means it's often overlooked.
Of course “Smoke on the Water” is a great and famous song - especially this live version 👍"The Mule" is a long drum solo. I usually skip this track unless I'm in the mood for it.
Are you aware that every time you use the shaker, the volume on the song goes down? Then it goes back up when stop using the shaker. BTW, Deep Purple was one of my favorite bands when I was a teenager. I am 73 now and I still listen to Deep Purple.
Yeeeeiiiii Deep Purple... and masterpiece Made in Japan.... very good reactions and comments... I want to see the reaction on space trucking.... Last Part, maybe 4th
Can't wait for "Strange kind of Woman"...
Nice to see with some one with musical education taking in and appreciating classic music from some of rocks beginnings. Hard to believe that all people have not heard all of what you have been reacting to. Im a 59 year old having been born in '65 who, as long as i can remember has never not heard any of this. Glad to see you discovering all of this. Gives me a very emotional feeling seeing people find and love it just as i and many others do. Whats amazing even more is that alot of the musicians you react to have had little or no training and some cant read or write music properly like a schooled person such as yourself.
This is such a simple song, and what really makes it is the raw vocals and the great story.
Ian Gillan was actually suffering from a heavy cold at the time.
You talked over the most important words in The Mule *Lets have everything louder than everything else" right at the start.
And you misquoted it...."can we have everything louder than everything else?" is what he said.
Fun facts! Jon Lord played his Hammond organ through Hi-Watt amps and his RMI electric piano through Leslies. It certainly gave him a unique sound! Also, Ian Paice is a left-handed drummer. So technically, all of your air drumming was going in the wrong direction this time! 😉 Great fun, Doug. Thanks! Hope you get your shaker back in working order soon!
You need to listen to the studio version of the mule, from FIREBALL
my first concert was deep purple in 1972 prior to recording this in Japan... have seen them 12 times since, never without Ian Gillian
Thanx Doug for reacting and analyzing side two of Made In Japan by Deep Purple!!!! One of my fave live albums along with Yessongs and Frampton Comes Alive. This great album showed that Deep Purple were not just very loud and noisy ruffians but were very talented musicians.
Love your Air drumming Doug🤘
With all due respect to all the fine musicians who have gone through DP through the years, DP mark 2 is the one who set my teenage loins aflame. And still does, though the song "Burn" scorches as well. God, listen to Ian's interpolations; he's what David Lee Roth wanted to be (IMHO).
9:00 "kind of bluesie" about the guitar solo? Whole song is blusie! 😁
I'm just catching up on Doug's EPL of "Tommy", which I missed on Tuesday as we were out, while I wait. As so often, I can only thank Doug for a great reaction, and for reminding me about yet another superb work I have not listened to for far too long. I confess, as a long-time Quadrophenia devotee, I do tend to forget just how good Tommy also is. I'll NEVER forget just how superb Smoke on the Water is, though! Over a decade ago, I remember my then-14 year old super-talented Godson showing me how you play Smoke on the Water. By pinching the strings, NOT by strumming the chords! My favourite rock anthem ever. Looking forward to this!
And it was great. I always LOVE hearing Doug's thoughts, but the best part here was when he picked up the tune on his keyboard - perfectly, of course. And added his own variation. This is why Doug has nearly 400k followers now (chuffing heck! I was here when he had around 10k!) - because he is a professional and totally knows what he is talking about. And why this is my favourite RUclips channel. Thanks again, Doug!
Oh, man. I still have my "Made In Japan" LP that I bought a lifetime ago.
As I said previously, Ian Paice and The Mule is just plane amazing!
Paicey always had a small drum kit. Fireball was the seecond album I bought back in 1971, of course the studio version doesn't have the drum solo. It's a brilliant solo from such a small kit. One of the best drum solos ever, yes there are other brilliant solos of the time until Neil Peart took things in a whole different direction
You could totally dub in Money for Nothing for about the first 2-3 minutes and keep it rolling! Love your stuff, Doug!
The CD released later has the encores on it and you should react to them as well. It's incredible, especially Black Night and Speed King.
Best version of Black Night also on this also !
No it isn't, not on the original album.
@@asharmstrong6730 I know, but it appeared later on a re-released version as one of the bonus tracks. Same versio also on 24 Carat Purple.
"The Mule" is my favourite early Deep Purple Song. The Studio version (without the drum solo) i prefer even more, because it is more concentrated on tha great proggy-psychedelic harmonies. But anyway that song (maybe the entire album album fireball) shows the huge variety of Deep Purple. They are not just hard rock. They are like Led Zeppelin or Jethro Tull so much more than that, maybe concentrated on hard rock. But when you listen to songs like "The Mule", or "Fools" or "Anyone's Daughter" you have three different styles of music and all great.
To say something about "Smoke on the Water" in these early times: It is quite interesting wich role that song played in the setlists. It is included not as a final song, not as the geratest hit, wich is everyone waiting for like nowadays. It is played just somewere in the show!
I have another record from 1972 (from Denmark) at home. I think "Machine Head" was not out at that time, but they played "Highway Star" as opener and they also included "Lazy" and "Space Truckin'", so they definitely wanted to promote the album. But the one track that's missing... yeah "Smoke On The Water". They didn't even include it to the setlist!
So it's interesting how Deep Purple didn't believe in that song.
please also give commentaries on Genesis in their early years, when Peter Gabriel is their vocalist. Thank you!
Oh this brings back memories of buying this in the early 80's, one of the best live albums of all time. There playing this autumn and if I can afford it I will be going to the Manchester gig. Seeing Nick Mason next month and saw Mr R Plant last month so turning into a year of grates still going. A band I hoped you would come back to are Babymetal but I'm going to suggest something up to date, Monochrome live at the PIA and BxMxC (live). There all grown up now. Love the stuff you've done on Zappa as well, if you don't know it try Joe's Garage (have to listen to it all in order for even a semblance of sense to come out of it but a true master piece).
Ever since custom ringtones became possible I made this my default. I have never had anything other than smiles at all of my business meetings for about 20 years. Everyone knows it and everyone likes it.
After sitting through the Eurovision Song Contest last night. It's good to get back into the grove with Deep Purple. Cheers Doug. :)
Get the shop vac out Doug 😂 oh man I feel for ya all them beads ugh! Love your channel my friend! Have a great rockin weekend!!
We need Side 1 and Side 2 of Fireball eventually. That's a really fun album to explore.
I'm envious of your keyboard skills
First, if you’re going to play along with Deep Purple on keyboards, grab a B3 patch and play parallel fifths.
Second, analyze the syncopation of the melody. The first phase is on the beat, the second is syncopated, 3rd is on, and the final phrase is syncopated again. It’s almost like a Latin rhythm in that way.
And yes, this is THE version of the song.
I have VIP, and backstage passes, and front row center for their DFW show in August. Yes is also playing (my favorite). I. CANNOT. WAIT!
C'est le premier riff qu'on apprend en guitare 😏
Ian gets the last word
!!!!!!!!!!IAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Doug I'm 1 of your biggest fans and your insights and priceless analysis' of music is Off the Chain. I'm a Diehard R a ndy Rhaods fan because of his Classical background is also Priceless but I've never seen anyone do a Reaction to Deep Purple's 1st album with David Coverdale (Whitesnake fame) Stormbringer. Doug this is some of the very best upbeat bringing music so if you do decide to do it yourself break the notes down like you are the greatest at doing. Jon Lord RULES.❤❤❤😂🎉😂🎉❤
Doug I think that when you are so outclassed as with these guys - don't play just listen!
Another great review Doug! If you can review Rare Earth Get Ready long version you won’t be disappointed especially with the drum solo at the end of the track, it’s my favorite solo of All Time!!!🥁 I think the Mule’s drummer was inspired by it!
🤘
I got my copy of this album from my older brothers, it came pre loaded with a couple minor scratches that caused skips in a couple places. Even the cassette tape copies I had, had a few skips on it. It's always disturbed me to hear those parts without the skip.
"Everything a little louder than everything else" is something I would always say to sound guys when my band was doing checks. To let them know I wasn't really with these guys (the hair metal band I was in at the time).
As a drummer, listening to The Mule is a religious experience. I've always thought of Asimov's Foundation when I hear it.
🤘🧙♂🤘
Funny I think the same thing. I really liked the Foundation trilogy and had just read it when I first heard this album.
Ah, so I'm not the only one associating it to the Foundation! I never checked up the lyrics but has always wondered if it actually was referring to Foundation.
The dtum. Solo is to show how great drummerhee is
Richie Blackmore said the riff for "Smoke on the Water", is just the opening of Beethoven's Fifth with one other note added
Backwards ruclips.net/video/Cn1sUIs5yeE/видео.html
He actually said it the INVERSION on the Beethoven’s 5th … a 5th played in-reverse with Ritchies twist
yeah I like how Blackmore teases the riff in the beginning. Also like your reaction. And yes, Glover's bass is phenomenal as usual.
This is the definite version of Smoke on the Water indeed. However both the studio version of The Mule and the live version recorded in Copenhagen a few months before are superior. Specifically Roger Glover's antics on bass are way better audible.
But yeah - it was Deep Purple who set the standards for what a live album should be. To get a full understanding how they managed it you'll have to listen to previous live recordings.
Next Metal Monday you should do Maiden Japan...
Made a pilgrimage to Montreaux from Geneva by train just to see the Casino , the Grand Hotel and the lake shoreline where this iconic song conceptualized 😇
Still brilliant. I bought the album on release and still have it. I also bought a 180g release a few years ago but the original still sounds great. Look after your vinyl folks!
Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple the holy triad of rock music🤘
Interesting to see what Doug is gonna like about space truckin on that Made in Japan album, it’s nearly a 20min long. Drum solos are almost always included in Deep Purple concert. Nor for sure was there drum solos in 1968 but at least 1969 it was and probably since then it’s been included almost every concert.
This may have been mentioned by someone else, but Ian Paice won the National Snare Drum Championship several years in a row as a teenager. Great hands....AND feet!
Blackmore GOAT
If you want to do the DP album Fireball, please include the song "Anyone's Daughter", which is an atypical song for the band. I was lucky enough to see their live performance of this song during Ritchie Blackmore's last tour with the band.
What most guitarists miss is that Richie is playing 4ths for the riff. He does it fairly often
Brilliant
DEEP PURPLE LEYENDAS VIVAS ,LA MEJOR BANDA DEL MUNDO!!💜💜🎸🎸🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Smooooooooke on tha waterrrrr. *Acting a fool over here. That song is fun to sing along to. Have a great weekend 🎸🎶🎸🎶
WORTHY! 🤟🏼
I can still enjoy a drum solo, but they have to be few and far between. This one is really good.
Deep Purple's Jon Lord developed The Beast! a Hammond organ played through Marshal stacks, so that it had as fast and aggressive an attack as a guitar. So with DP it is not so easy to know who is actually playing what. I have seen a video about that.
The drum solo has some heavy Louie Bellson, Buddy Rich style solo with a little Max Roach thrown in. A quick drum teacher comment on your 'air drumming" Almost everyone has the tendency to tighten up their muscles as they play faster. When in reality the faster you play the more relaxed your muscle should be. This will give you greater speed and more control. Carl Palmer is probably the best example of this principle. Also, spend the big bucks and get an LP shaker I've had one for over 30 years and it has never lost a bead. Keep up the great work.
Great reaction video as always Doug. I also think that this version of Smoke is the best I've heard. Cheers
Recommendation : John Lords album Sarabande
Hey Doug, I've always wondered who it was that played the shaker half-way through Purple's track "Fools" off of the Fireball album! Absolutely perfect rendition!!
Ian Paice is one of the most tragically underrated percussionists in Rock and Roll.
He's not underrated at all. That word is tragically *over* rated
This live version of Smoke on the water is THE VERSION “ , like many Deep Purple songs ,the live versions were so much better than the studio recordings and not many bands can do that, wait until you get to Strange kind of woman not just the song but the call and response “thing “ between Gillan and Blackmore
In terms of the out -of-tune guitar sound during the smoke on the water,
I think it was Ritchie's intentional fun.
