The people who have been playing guitar for a long time and know how challenging it is to play really appreciate the genius of Richie Blackmore he is up there with Hendrix and Eddie Vanhalen in my opinion such a innovator the riffs he would come up with is magical.
I'd add that I think Ritchie took the whammy bar to a level above Hendrix
I always thought of him as one of the gui9tar gods from that time.
Blackmore always made it look completely effortless, a rare and special player.
You will never get another Ritchie in the next decade.Long Live Ritchie.A fantastic guitar prodigy.
Hands down the greatest live improvisational rock band in history. Ian Paige is an absolute freaking monster on that 5 piece jazz kit. Classically trained Lord and Blackmore pushed each other to incredible nights of expression . simply magical!!!👍👍👍
Ian Paice
One of the many things that separated Mark2 from everyone else was their great ability to support when they were not doing solo. They could interchange so easily without missing anything. These 5 were simply the greatest group of pure rock musicians of all-time.
Pure funky rock heavy metal.
@@duster71 No, not heavy metal. They were hard blues rock and occasionally funky. Never metal.
Five superheroes, technique and ability to improvise. Monsters.
Ritchie has a distinctive sound that no one comes close my fav of all time
The greatest lead guitar player ever
Ritchie is my favorite guitar player. I’ve seen him 10x in concert. I’ve never seen anybody quite like him on stage he was like a fireball. His studio work was even better. His riffs, his solos, his phrasing. He made music, not just shredding, but real music. Real songs that allowed all the meme era of the bad to shine. Truly a master of his instrument.
Jon Lord was my hero as a kid, I loved Deep Purple and used to love the 'battles' that he and Richie Blackmore had, Ian Paice was a hell of a drummer too and Roger Glovers amazing bass lines were spot on, for me Deep Purple had it all, dont get me wrong, I loved Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath etc - but in that era, Deep Purple really shone
Phil, you nailed it about Richie. I always loved his playing because it was so devoid of effects usually. His personality as a player was ballsy, take it or leave it. Thanks for the review!! Rock!
Ritchie Blackmore is a musician and a magician. He conjures up the most magical notes.
We sometimes forget the speed at which Machine Head as an album was written and recorded and how sophisticated songs like ''Lazy'' really are. These were some halcyon days for blues rock and DP slammed out an album consistently every one to two years. Live concerts gave a huge scope for improv. and fine tuning phrases and melodies. Big shout to Paicey and Glover for keeping the machine ticking over and Gillan is no slacker either. Richie and Lordy slam it as usual.
Mind blowing musician and complicated personality--Richie Blackmore was the real musical package. Brilliant player.
He still cuts it with Blackmore's Night he still is.
I don't think he's as much complicated as misunderstood. He's just a cynical, dark and tough person. There's nothing more to it imo.
@@IkmelAAA Rubbish. Shy and very protective of his life away from playing music and an expert at dry humour as well as the guitar.
🙏👊👊
Nobody can emulate Ritchie ,,,,ever!!,,,,one of a kind
Sounds great . This was in 1972 when there was a lot of tensions in the band .
They are actually smiling at each other . Just goes to show that music really
brings people together . They knew they were great .
Always loved that tone Ritchie had back then. It's an uncomplicated, yet dynamic..right between the eyes sound ....and coupled with his inimitable staccato playing style is the definitive Strat sound for me.
Greatest band ever
PERIOD 👊👊👊💯🎯
God, that whole album was such a big part of my musical upbringing. Really love the way they bring it home on this one. Yep.
I don’t know what’s more amazing, RB’s guitar skills or that he is actually smiling in that video.
Exactly!! Lol. And that he's actually caring what he's playing on stage. Sometimes he would just wank off.
I know, it’s almost as unsettling as seeing Van Morrison smile.
MrBfg586 He’s thinking about who he’s going to fire later

Love this guy Fil and his videos. He speaks to his audience exactly as he describes how a great band plays to theirs: Clear and concise. Totally lucid. Great stuff.
Ritchie was the best. He was a hard rock guitar player yet played an extremely clean tone. When people, including myself, try to copy his songs we always dirty up the sound to make it sound hard ( and it covers up for mistakes).
Exactly right! His tone was very clean. He occasionally used a treble booster to push it over the edge but his was very clean. That is why his tone was so good and it allowed him a wide range of dynamics. When people saturate the tone with gain dynamics go out the window. Excellent point you made.
Brilliant! I saw Deep Purple first on Feb 21st, 1973 (Town Hall, Birmingham, UK). So not too long after this video was recorded. Their next album "Who Do YOu THink We Are" had just been released. I still remember that concert as one of my favorite concerts of all time. The best line up ever - Blackmore, along with Paice, Gillan, Glover and Lord. The raw sound and excitement was just so great I can't even describe it. At the end, after after three encores (I can only remember "Black Night" but I'm sure it was three), Gillan finally announced that they were "knackered" and done for the evening. Those were the days! Saw them again in 2016 but of course no Blackmore, no Paice... so not quite the same.
Cool!
No Paige? As Ian unwell? He’s the only continuous member of
Blackmore is certainly a master of hard rock guitar, yet his tone is much cleaner than those that sought to emulate him. We think of this great hard sound Purple made yet Blackmore’s playing is surprisingly delicate. He does not use effects, with few exceptions. Especially early Purple, Blackmore’s tone is sweet, clean and buttery smooth. As is his playing. He is the complete player, he is a great riff writer and soloist.
I can remember my dad playing Machine Head and my mother screaming at him to turn it down. Great child hood memories. Great artists in a great band. These guys let it all out on stage, battling, dueling and creating some of the best jams ever! Thanks, Deep Purple. Fil, great review.
Terrific explanation of some of what is going on within the band. As a non musician, this is so enlightening and gives me new appreciation for what musicians are doing.
Hello Phil, Ritchie Blackmore has always been the premier guitarist of the 70’s (still today) and totally underrated. Thanks for the analysis of his techniques and innovative style.
I'll take Deep Purple, you can have your Ozzy and his bands, metal outfits of all kinds, these guys were the original Big Boy rock and roll band. And every mark of the group were great in their own way.
@Tripp McDaniels I'm w/ you all the way!
Rodger that
We get to keep Black Sabbath don't we
@@jamesgordonakacrazylegs8222 absolutely
@@roberthorn333 thank you
To me Lazy is one of the best, most musical rock songs ever and certainly Deep Purples absolute best song. It's got a melody, not mindless repetition of the same riff over and over ad nauseum like the ridiculously over popular Smoke. It embodies the blues foundation of rock, a jazzy, rock/ classical keyboard, clean precise guitar work, it's just fabulous music and I listen to it at least once a week. The pinnacle of Deep Purple in my view. I'm used to the album version but this live bit is cool.
When music people talk about the great guitarist's from the golden age of rock, the names that always come up are Clapton, Page, Beck, Hendrix. While they are all legends, omitting Richie Blackmore from that list is criminal. For just soloing, I think Ritchie is better than all of them except maybe Jimi. He improvises with great soul, his technique is matched by very few, and he is great to watch live. One of the best and most over looked bands and musicians in rock history.
Total agree about míster blackmore. And how about peter green?
Blackmore is the best!
Hendrix stands out as being the GOAT. But what about Carlos Santana? Can he be compared to Ritchie?
Pienamente d'accordo,intatti quei signori che citavi prima tutti insieme non valgono blackmore.
Duane...
Ritchie Blackmore is one of those players that was always pushing the envelope of spontaneity - fishing around for that point of "tapping into the universe" - those special moments where the instruments is a direct conduit of expression, where it feels as though the music is "playing through you". Blackmore would take risks in doing so, but when he'd "tap in" you'd suddenly find yourself at the other end to the universe! He is one of those players that developed his own style of playing tone as well as signature. A fiercely intense, deeply expressive guitarist and personal no. 1 of all time!! Fab video as always!!
I don't know what I enjoy more ... the music ; or , watching Fil enjoy the music!
Richie is one of my favorite players of all time. Sometimes his personality isn't charming but he is one hell of a player.
@Toby Henderson Even his wife (Candice Night) jokes about about Ritchie's reputation of being "Difficult to work with" .. You really don't know anything about Blackmore, do you?
I've always loved deep purple, and to me their best album hands down is "who do we think we are"....now, Ritchie kinda made me pissed but laugh at the same time when he tried to critic Joe satriani, saying that Joe plays too perfect live on all his songs, just like the record. He even said that it's better to miss a note here and there because your reaching for some place you haven't been. I still love Ritchie but I been playing guitar since I was 5 and now 57, and I really think that was one of the worst comments I think I've ever heard from a well known guitarist.
@@kiplambert64 He can be a prick and is a nasty drunk. I've sat down at local bars with him on Long Island. However it's funny to see him do his own grocery shopping at the local markets. He is approachable as long as you talk to him as just a regular guy. Kiss his ass and he will walk away. I never asked him for an autograph so I guess that's why he would give me his time. I could talk music with him and ask about other band members and what they were doing. Also being a huge Deep Purple fan I would name songs that most don't know and that seemed to impress him. He would scout the local karaoke bars in search of talent for Blackmore Nights.

You lucky man.
Iam RB & DP huge fan folrom long time., never see RB live or met him.
An example you say? Try when he was playing with Rainbow and decided to stand behind his amp for the whole show. Maybe it was his roadie body double playing because he accidentally got to drunk. Doesn't matter. Twas very uncool.
No matter how fast and loud Ritchie played there was always so much feeling - like a smooth and mellow tone meandering underneath. That's why he is so special for me.
His fingers dance on the fretboard. He makes it seem so effortless.
All DP members were experienced studio musicians when the band was put together. I have yet to hear a better rock Hammond player than Lord. Thanks for another one for us older guys! A real treat.
You nailed it. I saw DP in 1971 and Lord owned the show.
Keith Emerson.
Right on, however it was Billy Ritchie of 1-2-3 / Clouds who started the rocking back and forth movement on the Hammond organ. This sound soon caught on with prog. rock. Honestly I just found this out recently.
The ultimate jam band! Ritchie Blackmore is one of my all time fav guitarists. Sometimes reckless and nearly out of control, his unpredictability is one of the things that seperates him from many other players of his time. He takes chances and never plays things the same way twice. A VERY exciting band to see live, and great musicians all around! Got to see Purple twice with Ritchie and 5-6 times with Rainbow. Never boring!
I am not an "Either/Or" guy, and no matter what, I always loved Carlos Santana, Peter Frampton, Tony Iommi, Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt ("Captain Beyond"), Mark Farner, Gary Moore, Jimi Hendrix, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Robert Fripp, David Gilmour, John McLaughlin.... but from the first time I ever heard Ritchie Blackmore, everything was different. I dropped the needle on "Speed King" and my life was changed forever. Decades later, a married man, my son wanted to go to sleep listening to a "Blackmore's Night" CD as his lullaby.
Pretty sure that these lads never ever thought their legendary jammed live work would still be watched, let alone forensically investigated some 47 years later. What any guitarist plays in a moment on stage cannot usually compare to something they've had time to prepare in the studio...unless your name is Blackmore! Especially with Made In Japan, he turned out the most amazing live performances, whilst never really playing the exact same thing two nights in a row. Genius stuff from a young lad of only 27 years in 1972.
One of the greatest bands ever. Look at that wall of amps. Amazing
Never a problem hearing them at the far back of the big arenas!!!
Great video!! I have seen Blackmore five times and he always delivered! The man is criminally underrated.
When I saw "Deep Purple" in the headline, I had to peek in.
Royal Albert Hall,London circa 1973 for 25 pence....I was there :)
Deep Purple is a great rock band in the world. At the time the group was formed I was still a childhood, by the
time this group was famous I had entered early-teen, and when I became a guitarist I began to do research on
this music group. and all my music friends mention about Ritchie Blackmore. when Deep Purple came to road
tour in my country, I was a little disappointed that Ritchie was not there. Where he was replaced by someone
else. but I remain very proud to Ian Gillan and his other friends
Ian was also the original voice of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. Hard to believe this is 45 years ago. I never tire of this kind of rock. So much musical inventiveness.
Thanks Fil Tasteful playing here. Ian on vocals. Richie on guitar. Good Stuff.
I saw DP twice in 73 at Vorst National in Brussels....they were an amazing band live...Ian is an incredible drummer 👏👏👏😎👍🏻🥂
The early 70's was certainly a great time for rock music. I wasn't turned on to purple until a couple years later at the age of 12👍👍😎🤘 Love Deep Purple and Ritchie!
RB had his own maple strat sound. It was his own. Love his sound combined with Jon Lord, the Purple sound. Ian is one of my favorite vocalists. Excellent band in the early 70's .
A arrogant but brillant Guitarist, today are so many good guitarists, women, Kids, but all cover the old songs and thats fantastic, the musicians they composed this songs, thanks Fil.
Another great guitarist. Excellent playing.
Deep Purple, is rock royalty! Forever fan of Ritchie Blackmore here. I'm glad to see you did the analysis of one of my favorite guitar guys. It was a good video of Ritchie's "go to" gauntlet for his live stuff. TY so much Fil !! 🎯 👌
Been a Purple fan since I first heard them in 1969 and a Blackmore fan since I started playing guitar in 1970. Richie's the man!
Have to say your videos are full of information that us mere mortals just would never pick up on. Thanks for educating me to the wonders of the great guitar players.
I was 16 and loved Deep Purple....play on Ritchie!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a big fan of Deep Purple especially Richie Blackmore, what a great pick for your video and analyses. Great rundown, plus all of the information. Thank you for your professional insight, with deepest respect always! Peace! Have sweet dreams! Guitar 🎸 dreams that is!
Every live version is different! This is what makes this band so unique !
Saw Deep Purple in 1972 in Tampa! They were PERFECT 🤩
This particular track is from the DVD live in Copenhagen 1972.Ritchies playing throughout is a master class on how to play hard rock.Having seen this line up live,the intesity is insanely powerful.I remember Ritchie playing beethoven.Unreal.
The "Machine Head" album is one of my favorites to this day. Their studio performance of this song for that album is stellar.
Fil, you made some observations that I also made. I liked it how Richie quickly goes to town on a mini tangent while the drums stayed true to the song's LP version. I think that shows spontaneity. When bands play live, the crowd usually likes that. I know I do.
Seen Mark2 version from the 3rd row, the keyboard player kept tipping the organ letting it crash down right on time. i had trouble hearing for a day or two. Richie was just blistering. good stuff Fil
Saw Deep Purple back in '73 or '74. Uriah Heep opened. It was a warm summer evening at the Allentown Fairgrounds. It was incredible!
cat I’m a few years behind you..but did see Rainbow with Scorpions a few years later at ag hall at the fairgrounds
@@phil9593 The fairgrounds was a fantastic place for concerts in the '70's. They had at least 2 a month during the summer. I saw Zeppelin there also, along with many others. I wish I had seen Scorpions. I envy you that!
I'm not fond of Musicfest, but it has brought quite a few '70's bands - some are worth seeing, too! - to play during those hellacious 2 weeks it disrupts our little town.
Another Great Band..i consider myself lucky growing up in the 70's, 80's, what a great decades for music....and even for new generations to appreciated this great music...great review once again....thanks Fil.....! ROCK FOREVER.....😃
It was nice you pick one of the Blues Rocker song back in that day great 👍 loved it Thanks !🤟🏻
Could have sworn I had seen and liked this one before, but I don't see either? Liked and commented on now. These guys were great back then...
"Made in Japan" is my favorite all-time live album. Such great sound for 1972 and amazing talent all around.
Yep always liked how RB used all the different pickup positions. When using a clean tone like that, the pickup selection more noticable than if alot of gain. I have that same amp, in stock form one of those stacks will take your head off so loud and clean. Used to have to really crank it to get any saturation (my mom could verify this, she used to hear it blasting from basement) guitar sound so dry, no reverb on those. Thr marshall stack made to play in large venues no reverb needed. The entire DP band is stellar on this
I saw Deep Purple in Phoenix back in 1974. Also on the bill was Savoy Brown and Tucky Buzzard. GREAT concert!
What a fantastic performance! These dudes were in the groove! Thanks WoP, great work bro!
How about Ian Pacie on drums ? A monster.
And a lefty as well, odd yet awesome.
Some of the best drummers of that era was raised on old school RNR .But their parents were big band fans . Bill Ward , Ginger Baker , etc . So that was some of their influence .
The whole band, in all its iterations, consisted of monsters. Yes, Ian Paice was a legendary drummer, but so was Blackmore in the guitar world, Lord in the keyboard world, Glover on bass and Gillan on the mike. Monster musicians altogether!
👍
@Chris Manzi I wholeheartedly agree. There's a finesse to Paice's playing that Bonham simply didn't have. And he swings like a mother too, does Paice. Bonham, great though he is, is a tad overrated, I think. People out there seem to be a bit Jeremy Clarkson in their taste in drummers. You know... POWEEEER....
Another great report. I love the way you always respect the whole band's input. That's a rare commodity in guitarists.......B-) Ian Paice is one of the most under rated 'motors' in rock. Thanks again.
TRUE THAT
Great Live performance, I saw Deep Purple on january 28, 1973 in Amsterdam, I recorded a few minutes of 'Mary Long' on my cassette recorder, there is no other soundrecording of that night, if you want to listen...
One of my favorite DP songs, and one of the best live versions I’ve seen. Every time I watch Richie play, I’m blown away. He never disappoints. I saw him with Rainbow, when Glover was touring with them. I was just a few rows back right in front of him and the speakers. My earplugs let me down and my ears rang for a couple of days, but no regrets. Just an awesome show.
Good job as always, Fil.
Cheers
Lovely player was Ritchie... such a melodic player
Blackmore is one of the greatest ever.
He was replaced in DP by Tommy Bolin, another really great guitarist.
And not just anyone can fill Blackmore's shoes.
Agreed..two totally different styles and tommy was in the deep end of his heroin usage and his playing suffered
@@hiighway_chile4080 yep, sadly so! 🙁
Phenomenal. most pleasurable. spellbinding.
You are good teacher.
Thank You
Thanks for doing DP, one of my all time favorites.
Love that lead guitar solo, WOW! Jim
Absolutely love the call and response with the harmonica !! So cool.
Salvē Fil!
The huge appeal of your channel, and why your viewership is destined to explode:
1) showing a performance of both a band and a song that I don’t particularly like, presenting your analyses in your distinctly unique, probing, knowledgeable, inimitable, articulate cogency, then igniting in me a nascent appreciation, leaving me more enlightened;
2) enlivening your listening viewers by means of tapping into nostalgia (e.g., on any given video, just read the vigorous, enthusiastic commentary, reflections, and anecdotes)
Destined for greatness! I’ll look for you on the talk shows...
Haha thanks!
Thanks Fil, another great video. Ritchie's one of the best. This intro gives me goosebumps.
Thanks Fil!...l I love when you play the 60s and 70s bands that you've been doing lately! I still have a lot to learn about Deep Purple...🎵😈💜
Love this band! Ritchie Blackmore is one of my favorite guitarists! Thanks again Fil!
Wow!! Awesome playing and great review of the group Fil. I'm an ol dude, 72 years young and was a fan of EVERY group of the era.
Your explanations of players' styles and techniques are excellent, and they reflect your enthusiasm and personal understanding of what on Earth they are actually doing! Best analysis series ever. Thanks mate!
Thanks!
Thanks. I listened to Blackmore and Purple since '79 or so. Purple was really my two older brother's era but I listened to them more than most of the new music when I was in high school ('79...'83).
One of my favorite live Purple tunes. You have to love Glover. No matter how crazy things get, he manages to keep his cool. Lord's accompaniment to Blackmore is so tight, you almost don't hear when they are playing together. Add Gillan's vocals and the drive of Paice on the drums, it's simply mind-blowing. My hat off to you for being able to stop this and add comments. This is a tune I simply have to listen to all the way through. It's fun to listen to other live versions as well. It is never quite the same in each version. Blackmore and Lord are masters of improvisation and shaking things up, yet always manage to maintain their tightness. Even in the later days before Blackmore left for good. Awesome review!
Thanks Jay!
Thank you! Ritchie's my favorite. Particularly early Rainbow. Great analysis as always!!!
Very good analysis. It was a pleasure for me to listen to you:-)
My opinion about Ritchie's live guitar playing is that there is no one who skillfully improvises such beautiful and brutal guitar solos.
Great video! Blackmore is my favorite guitar player.
awesome, i turned 16 in '73 so this is right down my alley, a rocked up blues tune!
Me too.
I turned 16 in Sept of '73. Worked all that summer to buy a '72 Strat because of Ritchie Blackmore and the Made In Japan album.
@@RedGibsonsRock those were the days my frynds we were still somewhat free!
Agreed!! I LOVE blues-rock (or rock-blues haha)...which is why I've always loved SRV and a bunch of the classic southern rock bands.
@@Pilot545 what was it they said townes van zant would always say.... there's 2 types of music, the blues and zippity do da day!?
My favorite drummer !!! Flam-Bam thank you Ian.
This is a great series about great guitarists. Thanks for the great entertainment
always had a soft spot in my heart for ritchie.. was mad for deep purple for years butnever was able to see the band because i wasin turkey where touring dates were doubtful hehe.. first concert iever wenttoof real sustenancehowever wasblackmores rainbow in 1976.. elo opened. great shows! tjanks for this fil.
Brits are the best at doing Rock'n'roll !! So much great bands are from there.. just amazing ! Great work !
Ritchie is improvising .Band follows perfectly!
Love him, love his playing. Highway Star is my go to road trip song.
Blackmore is able to use his pinky finger, playing the gittar.
Not many guitarist of that era were able to do that.
Love ritchie great blues playing here.
I saw Deep Purple perform this song in concert in Australia in 1972. It was brilliant. In fact they were wearing the same clothes !!!
Cool!
Happy Birthday Great Master Blackmore! Awesome video analysis. 🤘🎸
Great video Fil, love the old classic stuff, really enjoyed your review, thanks
