Simple pure poetry turned into music! No crap no sleazy video's to make it a hit! Just music! And even after 40yrs we still listen to it what else does anyone need proof of?
I always thought Randy Rhodes had a Ritchie Blackmore type of style. Blackmore had a different more classical lead guitar style I always thought. Amazing to see old Deep Purple video.
Skips or not, this brings back so many memories.Used to crank this up driving to East Texas State University in Commerce, Texas when the song was new - heading to a hard night of drinking and playing air hockey against the jocks from ETSU, and taking their beer money.I was 15 (had a hardship license) and my best friend, Gary, and I rode in his 396 Chevelle there and back every weekend with this on an 8-track tape.
Thank you for all the good times you have given us Jon. You'll be sorely missed. You were not only a top-class musician but also a gentleman and a great compassionate soul. Your battle with physical pain is over - enjoy the everlasting bliss of the heavens' peaceful realms.
Jon, music gave you fulfillment, and you gave us music. This music influenced our life and identity. You'll stay in our hearts forever. And now Jon, go on and rock the Elysian Fields with the old mates!
Kids, recognize and bow down - one of the pioneering true gods of Metal are upon ya! Zeppelin, Sabbath and Purple... where would Rock be today if not for these trailblazers?? Man, speed solos at a time when metal was in its infancy? Richie, you sir are a god! :)
An incredibly talented group of musicians who were always capable of including a good 50 minutes of inspired playing into every 90 minute show. Saw them several times and was always able to become quite intoxicated grabbing beers during every extended drum, keyboard, guitar and vocal exercise that filled out the remaining 40 mintes of every show. One of my very favorite groups of players, but I pick up the needle any time Ian (or David) goes into either their rapping or screaming act...Peace.
This video is pure SOLID GOLD.... the legends... one od the BEST for all times Rock Bands....Imagine Gillian saying at the beginning... this is a new song...... and this song was one of the best for all time in the rock history
All the members of deep purple are great musicians , but what makes this song fantastic is the bass and drums. They set the speed for the songs . This is one of my favorites
Rest In Peace Maestro, even tho i never had the privilege to meet you i learned so much from you, and admired you so much as a Keyboard player my self!! Today is a very sad day for me but listening to your music will keep your legacy forever in our hearts. -Edward Amadeu.
In Eastern Europe they were bigger than any band of the time. I remember when I first heard Smoke on the Water on a crappy Russian cassette player in the 70s. I listen to the song for six hours non stop. I could not sleep at all the night after this. i was so excited. Never again I experienced anything like this listening to any other song and any other band. Long Live Deep Purple.
Jon Lord you should have never died... Stupid question would always be: why this so great musician and not anyone else ? But that's what I ask now... Man you listen to this spectacular and out-of.the-earth song and what else can you say? DEEP PURPLE is probably the best rock'n roll band from all time... JON R.I.P...
En los 60's y 70's , hediondo, en el sol caliente de Nicaragua , aplastando las calles de vago , enmariguanado y con nada que hacer, escuchando a Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Zepellin, Hendrix y todos los buenos de esos tiempos, gracias Dios por esos tiempos que fueron muy buenos.
Ian Gillan's voice is what true metal should sound like. Deep Purple were the true pioneers of Heavy Metal! I cant believe I saw them live for a mere $25.00 back then. Thankyou Jesusssssssssss
One awesome tune! Hittin' on all cylinders 4 sure. John Lord ( as always... superb ) but I'd "almost" forgotten how GREAT this Paice/Glover rhythm section sounded. Haven't listened to this version in a long time. Ian Paice.....Thumpin'! Roger Glover......Tumpin' right along with him. : ) Great music & memories here.......
As a teenager through the 70's it was instant that I would rock to Deep Purple and now ... as an ageing-old pastit-pisshead-pothead ... I still rock to 'em like I did when I was 17.
ya just can't beat the original line up, just awesome. This is the best song on Machine Head by far, the rest of the album is great too, I've listened to it thousands of times.
i was watching DP highway star vid with steve morse on the guitar, and it's just ain't the same, man...i mean, with ritchie, u get this sense of awesomeness....steve morse, it's "he's alright".....this is 100% awesomeness!
Pure music. Actual REAL music, played by musicians, who play...instruments! Whoda'think? Don't trust anyone over 30 was the mantra of the day. Today, it's don't trust anyone's musical sensibilities who is under 30 today. They don't know what they don't know.
Diskothek im Speicher in the 70th, i worked there as a semiprofessional Dj . I DIDI IT hard and heavy. One of my fovorites. Best regards from Flensburg.Visit us .Here is the paradise , directly at the danish border. Carnival all the time!!!
Souvenirs!!! les Grands restent à jamais dans la grande Histoire de la Zik... J'aime toutes les Musiques car elles me bercent dans chaque pays que je visite... Je vous souhaites à tous de vivre le meilleurs de votre vie. Coucou d'ici.
Holy shit when I see this I realize how lucky I was to see DP do this live back in spring of '73. They were un-fucking-believable. That show blew my mind and I wasn't even stoned at the time. At their peak the best band in the world until Blackmore left for Rainbow.
"What we've got here is a NEW song..." - Gillan's words 40 years ago. By today's standards this is still a NEW song that keeps outshining all the crappy music thrown at us today!!!
On a Friday night in 1978, we would park our '55 Chevy Belair, named Highway Star, in any public spot, pop the hood, and a crowd would form. Stereo on and instant party!
Aun siento la brisa del aire de la carretera en mi cara, y tus besos en mi piel..... exquisito volver al vestigio de felicidad que nos das.... gracias DEEP PURPLE !!!!
..... una ... Joya .... del .. HARD -ROCK .....XXL..
Is it just me or does this video glitch every few seconds for everyone?
yeah... kinda annoying, huh?
yes it does
Moses Bullrush Yes. thumb down :/
yep, i dunno if it's bad audio, or yt edit...
+Moses Bullrush Yes it does fir me too. This video has sound quality issues.

+Murray Donovan Randy was inspired by Ritchie.. that explains why both are such guitar legends ;)
What a beautiful DUWANG

Nice skips.
Repost this without all the drops every few secords!!!!! This is crap!
Dave George despite that Dave it's still pretty awesome
RIP El Maestro Jon Lord, lo vi en vivo en el tour de Perfer Strangers y desde ahi crecio mi admiracion por este gran tecladista, gracias Mr. Lord.
Thank you for all the good times you have given us Jon. You'll be sorely missed. You were not only a top-class musician but also a gentleman and a great compassionate soul. Your battle with physical pain is over - enjoy the everlasting bliss of the heavens' peaceful realms.
Wonderful! Deep Purple! Love John Lord - I was really blessed to have him comment on my 1970s radio show on my channel!
Es de 1972 han pasado 40 años y sigue esta musica tan fresca como aquella vez del '72.
Me encanta el timbre de voz del vocalista.
Jon, music gave you fulfillment, and you gave us music. This music influenced our life and identity. You'll stay in our hearts forever.
And now Jon, go on and rock the Elysian Fields with the old mates!
This band is 25 years before I was born...God thanks for giving me such a great taste in music
Ramane formatie de mare valoare in lume,apreciez mult. ( gipsy,medias,romania.)
Great driving song. I remember when this song/album came out. Hard to believe that was 40 years ago. Sounds just as good today as it did then.
Kids, recognize and bow down - one of the pioneering true gods of Metal are upon ya! Zeppelin, Sabbath and Purple... where would Rock be today if not for these trailblazers?? Man, speed solos at a time when metal was in its infancy? Richie, you sir are a god! :)
Thanks for all the inspiration over the years Jon. You are missed.
R.I.P. Jon. Die zeitlose,geniale Musik von dir hat mich mein ganzes Leben lang begleitet und wird es weiterhin tun.
Elvis thanks for downloading this performance, Those were the Days!

Sorry to hear of such a sad loss. Truly one of a kind. Thanks for the music John.
Jon thanks for your music you are still with us in Deep Purple
This video is pure SOLID GOLD.... the legends... one od the BEST for all times Rock Bands....Imagine Gillian saying at the beginning... this is a new song...... and this song was one of the best for all time in the rock history
These guys woke up the music world and changed my life forever in a good way.
All the members of deep purple are great musicians , but what makes this song fantastic is the bass and drums. They set the speed for the songs . This is one of my favorites
Deep Purple was the best live show ever, Rictchie Blackmore is killer in this tune. Great jam and band indeed !!!!!!
Todo un clasico, vientos por quien lo subio. Me trae recuerdos incomparables.
Great version, we want the Deep Purple back together !!! Now !!!
I'm 21 Years old and i don't fucked up on techno or hip hop... THIS IS THE STUFF I NEED ;D
Rest In Peace Maestro, even tho i never had the privilege to meet you i learned so much from you, and admired you so much as a Keyboard player my self!! Today is a very sad day for me but listening to your music will keep your legacy forever in our hearts. -Edward Amadeu.
WOW..WOW.....such brilliance; they loved what they did...I love it, i need it.......now this is how you play music!!
Adoro esse som desde que ouvi pela 1°vez em 80 época que tinha rock pesado e de qualidade. Não que ñ haja boas músicas hoje mas...
Falou!!
στα ιστορικα τραγουδια παντα θα υπαρχουν ελληνες !!! ετσι μπραβο !!!
Rest in Peace, Jon. The world of music becomes a little bit poorer without you.
Never forget, forever in our hearts.
In Eastern Europe they were bigger than any band of the time. I remember when I first heard Smoke on the Water on a crappy Russian cassette player in the 70s. I listen to the song for six hours non stop. I could not sleep at all the night after this. i was so excited.

Day by day, the heaven supergroup is getting stronger and stronger =/
RIP Jon Lord, your music is your legacy.

Godspeed and thank you for the music Jon Lord.
School memories flood back from 40 years back in a flash - fantastic stuff
I´ve attended to their show yesterday and I say, I loved.
Jon Lord you should have never died...
Stupid question would always be: why this so great musician and not anyone else ?
But that's what I ask now...
Man you listen to this spectacular and out-of.the-earth song and what else can you say?
DEEP PURPLE is probably the best rock'n roll band from all time...
JON R.I.P...
Incredible...These guys had the complete package!!!!...LEGENDS!!
These guys blow me away. One of my favorite bands of all time. To the people who hate this, or down it - Piss off.

YEAH GUYZ! they are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock
Great Lord was only 31 years of age here. he will be missed, can't believe he is gone.
เป็นเพลง เฮฟวี่ ฮาร์ด ร็อค ที่ยอดเยี่ยมที่มีอยู่ในโลกนี้
Fantastic, again, from 1972!
so true. one of the best drummers ever, and the best rock singer ever.
Our School Bus Driver Always Plays this song
what a HELL of a ride to school.
imo-what we have here is a timeless, classical masterpiece!
La concepción de la canción y el solo de la guitarra es de otro mundo.....rockero
This is one of the best songs (i mean all time songs), and the guitar solo is timeless.....
One of the most powerful creations in music.
ya just can't beat the original line up, just awesome. This is the best song on Machine Head by far, the rest of the album is great too, I've listened to it thousands of times.
i was watching DP highway star vid with steve morse on the guitar, and it's just ain't the same, man...i mean, with ritchie, u get this sense of awesomeness....steve morse, it's "he's alright".....this is 100% awesomeness!
man, Deep Purple are so awesome! Gonna miss Jon The Lord
Love to find these live songs I've always loved!
One of the best car songs ever recorded
the song that got me into Deep Purple ,love it,
Pure music. Actual REAL music, played by musicians, who play...instruments! Whoda'think? Don't trust anyone over 30 was the mantra of the day. Today, it's don't trust anyone's musical sensibilities who is under 30 today. They don't know what they don't know.
The Best Performance
while I'm grateful for this video I'm sad that there is no better quality video available for one of the greatest rock songs and show
Vote Deep Purple Fans they are nominated for rock and roll hall of fame 2013 !!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally !! after 44 years !
Diskothek im Speicher in the 70th, i worked there as a semiprofessional Dj . I DIDI IT hard and heavy. One of my fovorites. Best regards from Flensburg.Visit us .Here is the paradise , directly at the danish border. Carnival all the time!!!
