He plays it brilliantly and adds his own bit at the end too

Band sounds fantastic, but it's both great and terrible to see a legend like Gillan struggling with the song he could so superbly sing in the 70s. Kudos to him for trying, lots of resepect as a fan but this is not necessary. Someone needs to suggest either to pitch the song down a tone or two or either skip it altogether. Of course they are entitled to do whatever they want!
It's hard on these singers once they get to a certain age, the range and power isn't there even though the core voice sounds similar on the easier/lower stuff. It doesn't matter, everyone there will have had a great time. Ian sounds the equivalent of Brian Johnson on AC/DC's current tour in the way I've described. Well done to these guys for trying rather than cheating or giving up certain songs (though I wish AC/DC would drop some of their harder to sing ones).
Agree but i feel that Deep Purple also should drop some of the harder songs to sing. Ian still has a quite enjoyable mid-range and can still sound very good. You can cleary see that on the newer songs, more adjusted to his current vocal condition (and age), but stuff like Highway Star is too much, he's now having a hard time doing the verses as well, not just the screaming parts
@@JohnnyTheMechanicyes it is. but it breaks your heart to see this. time has flown. and remember that younger singers could never do it in young age. that's life. you cannot climb 8a at 78 years old. Great courage.
That said, im grateful i got to see DP live at all. Its natural that Ian cant sing like he did "back then". Doesnt mean i didnt have the time if my life being able to see DP live
Gillian is a legend as is Deep Purple, his vocals will go down like Rob Halford’s, but the new audience is not hearing the same guy as I grew up to ( I am 69) , obviously it is not for the money, time to enjoy life with family and friends . You deserve it my friend. Peace and Love and thanks for all the great tunes like the LP “In Rock” “Machine Head” “Fireball” “Made in Japan “etc etc, I still play those on my Turntable and they still sound as good as when I heard them in my teens.
I would recommend listening to the Made In Japan album to anyone who hasn't heard it. You can truly appreciate Ian's strong voice and fantastic playing by the rest of the band. One of the best live albums ever in my opinion..
He still sounds good on the new material, it’s not a shame to drop the classics a couple of tones so he’d be actually able to rich it and it’ll still sound good. Highway Star instead of G key simply E
Leider ja......seh ich auch so.......Mitleid sollte man allerdings nicht mit ihm haben......jeder hat die Möglichkeit zum richtigen Zeitpunkt aufzuhören.......den hat er leider verpasst 😢 nun denn.....wenn er noch Spaß an seinem Job hat und die Fans weiterhin zu den Konzerten kommen ist das ok
@@john_scofield_big_fan_chan5430Beruf und Berufung, da kann man nicht aufhören. Denen geht es nicht ums Geld, die bekommen genug Tantiemen. Die leben für die Musik und für die Auftritte vor Fans. Und natürlich wäre es mir lieber sie würden nur die alten Lieder der ersten LPs spielen.
@@Moni-xb7hl schon klar.......die machen das noch weiter weil sie es gerne machen.......is ja auch legitim.......is trotzdem traurig 😢 wenn man seinen eigenen Nimbus zerstört........als Sänger kann man da nur verlieren weil man keine Power mehr in der Stimme hat......die Range ist nicht mehr da........die Instrumentalisten habens da einfacher klingen immer gut .......die Routine macht das
Ian Gillan sounds good singing the newer material, but for these old classic they have got to tune down. He is clearly straining and not reaching many notes.
Ian Gillan's lost his "screaming"vocal chords , just like Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull is searching for his ... Let it be... the bands are great, but yeah.. I have an enormous sympathy for those bands, really. Let someone else sing the heavy parts then...
His mid-to-lower register is still good as he sounds fine singing newer material. For the old classics they should try tuning down a few steps for him.
Ich liebe DP. Bin mit denen aufgewachsen. Aber 1972 ist halt schon lange her. Ian Paice und Roger Glover von der Urbesetzung immer noch eine Wucht. Aber sorry, Ian Gillan bitte irgendwann doch aufhören
I´m sorry to say this, but this is horrible... A band sounding like in their 20´s but Gillan is definetly done for extensive touring... And maybe someone should tell them about at least tuning down from E to D in his favor... And maybe also one too many boosters...
Still fantastic!!!
The guitar solo in Highway Star is one of my all time favorite guitar solos. I'm glad the new guy plays it so accurately.
He plays it brilliantly and adds his own bit at the end too

Gillan.
Been there ! Very liked it ! 👍👍👍⭐
Simon McBride is a killer guitar player!
Aaawww poor Ian, much as I've loved him for years, it's time to retire as he's gona be 79 in a few weeks time on 19th August 💜💜💜
Notice he was ill for 2 weeks, material from yesterday sounds better again...
@@jandort7467 100%, much better in the newer videos.
I agree. I think Purple should just retire gracefully.
He still sounds good on the new material, it’s not a shame to drop the classics a couple of tones so he’d be actually able to rich it and it’ll still sound good. Highway Star instead of G key simply E
Glücklich sie noch einmal gesehen zu haben !! Ja wir werden alle nicht jünger. Trotzdem tolle Leistung von Ian
Der andere Ian, drummer Ian Paice, ist übrigens seit der Gründung der Band ca 1968 mit dabei. 🎉
Ian Gillan....... ein Schatten seiner selbst, sehr traurig !

loved every Minute, this is Rock and Roll at its finest
ya but you still need to hits the notes to pull it off and we are not even close anymore..perhaps its time to call it a great career
It’s obvious Gillan can’t sing live anymore.
🤘

URIAH HEEP for instance is a very good example!
Deep Purple war eine großartige Band
Dommage la prise de Son est nul....!!! Pas de regrets😢😢😢😢😢
Please retire!
Auf alter Masche reiten, aber an alte Zeiten nicht mehr heranreichen; sorry I.G.
OMG Gillan, give it up for gods sake.
His mid-to-lower register is still good as he sounds fine singing newer material. For the old classics they should try tuning down a few steps for him.
The music is still great, but Ian should have stopped more than 10 years ago.He moves like Joe Biden and unfortunately he can't sing live anymore
Please stop singing highway star.This is embarrassing!
