In the 70's , still in my teenage, it was the sound of deep purple great music that accompany my late nite school revision..soldier of fortune, burn, women from tokyo, highway star, black nite... child in time...
I hung out with John Lord and Roger Glover at spirit sports bar in Altamont Springs Florida for about four hours by and John drinks and listen to stories about the band. It was so awesome… since they were my favorite band. What a great guy.
One can't make any of this up. The banjo player (a British insult) even turned on Coverdale. Extremely jealous of Gillan, also. Roger was a true gentleman, also felt his wrath. Paice knew exactly what was transpiring as did Lord. Even so, greatest group ever. That only a million know about.
It is not dead just unrecognisable to those of us who remember what it was. There is such a huge amount of songs released daily now (it's in the millions) and there is nothing really new or fresh sounding that very little sticks out and if it does it's mostly image and marketting. Also the fact everything ever recorded is just a click away and seems much more disposable has ruined it too. When you think about it recorded music is not really natural anyway. For 1000s of years music could only be heard as it was being performed until the last few decades.
Who wants music to be an industry? We want poor struggling artists...like my band! It's difficult shunning the bright lights, the women...the money...oh shit!
Deep Purple has never been metal. But the success of the reunion and the fact that they still go on to this day is proof that many people like good music.
This documentary did miss out an important part of Ian Gillan's career. From 1975 to 1977 he lead the "Ian Gillan Band" - a jazz/rock band. I think this was the most creative and exciting music to come from Ian Gillan - who drew together quite a bunch of great musicians. Three albums with critical but little commercial success, saw him turn toward back to heavy metal with a band called simply, Gillan.
Thanks for the post. I like this Family Tree thing. Tempestuous, tumultuous, explosive. When they were on they were great. Overblown in America for a while. Sabbath, Purple, Heep. All the stoners afraid to express themselves but wanted to be hip as these bands played. Ahh, had to be there. But the Deep Purple that broke it with Machine Head kept rock fans riveted throughout their different incarnations. Poor Tommy Bolin.
Love this song smoke on the water is a brilliant idea of n roll in a few hours album covers steady rythim and live music in the background have always listened to everything the band ever wrote love Lorrie
I sure wish, as a huge Tommy Bolin fan, he wouldn't have had a drug addiction. It's sad. This was an excellent documentary. I learned a lot that I didn't know about one of my all time favorite rock bands.
That’s it? Awesome doesn’t give personal account. Small detail anything? You don’t have to say sh’*’if you don’t want. I see too many of these guys ‘I seen hendrix in 69? Empty
Sometimes talented people and complex lives make great music. Not everybody loved deep purple in America in 1972, but my mechanical engineer uncle loved them riding to work in his red triumph convertible. I was such a young kid, and that was a great creative time on the planet. Let us honor that time and focus on the positive for our problems today. There was nothing lazy about this music, which means you had to be an athlete to pull it off live. Hush and highway star, Vancouver,1972. Where were you the first time deep purple or led zeppelin touched your brain ?
The first record I bought with my own money when I was 12 was Machine Head and I’ve been a fan ever since.. I even got to meet the band on several occasions in Altamonte Springs Florida well they were recording in 1990 or maybe it was 1991
Hi Andrew, im new to your channel and just wanted to thank you for keeping the flame alive for the true greats of hard rock drumming. I saw Ian on the Burn tour, and many tours after, and what a show it was. Ian left a permanent impression on my young mind, 14yrs old at the time, and only my 3rd concert ever. I also got to see the other great ones...Bonham 75, Bill Ward, late 70s. But there was always something special about Ian Paice to me. I think its because of his jazz influence and how he incorporated that into rock, as well as many other drummers from that era were heavily influencedby jazz. The big 3 to me Ian, Bonham, and Ward. We cant forget Cozy Powell but there are just too many amazing drummers to mention here. I look forward to watching more of your videos and thanks again.
Love Ian Paice. What a great drummer and seems like a great guy. Jon Lord as well. What a class act he was and so talented. Tommy Bolin is very underrated, and I know for a fact that Ritchie admired his talent and thought that he was a good fit for Purple, music wise.
Tommy was a very talented guitarist,but the drugs kept him from demonstrating his full potential,he should have checked into rehap to get clean,but unfortunately that never happened.
I saw the MARK II line up back in November 1993 at Ahoy in Rotterdam Netherlands and you could feel the tension and negative vibes on stage between Gillan and Blackmore. Three weeks later Blackmore was out again, this time for good never to be seen again in DP.
classic doco on deep purple classic band. one of the first metal bands. us brits always had the best metal bands. and this is a great rock family tree doco.
I had Peter Frame's Rock n Roll Family Tree book when I was 11-12 years old and I devoured everything in that book. That book and Tony Fletcher's book Moon, and the life of Keith Moon are the best music books I've ever owned or read.
I got to see a Deep Purple concert in B'ham, Al back in 1976, Nazareth opened and they were great, Deep Purple came on and it was so freakin' loud it sounded like a 90 minute buzz, I was up in my girlfriend's ear screaming and she still couldn't hear me, some people were going out into the lobby because their ears were hurting so bad, I don't know whether the show was good or not because it was just too loud. Flash forward to 2001 in Houston, Texas and Nazareth again opened for Deep Purple, I mainly wanted to see my favorite band Nazareth again so we all went to the show. Nazareth again, was fantastic and now it's time for Deep Purple to play. I couldn't believe it, it was still really loud but it was the most crystal clear sound system I'd ever heard, that may have been the best rock show I've ever been to , Steve Morse was the guitarist and every note they played was perfect, when ever I tell someone about the best show I've seen I always have to mention that the Deep Purple show in Houston, how fantastic that show was.
I find it quite strange and a mistake that Made In Japan isn't mentioned in this documentary, because I consider it to be their magnum opus, next to one of the greatest live albums ever made. What they did there on Highway Star and Child In Time was as good as any band has ever gotten individually and collectively. Incomprehensible genius.
Postscript: The Steve Morse/Don Airey era of Deep Purple have been a success, Ian Gillan found new enthusiasm as lead singer, Jon Lord signed off and explored his classical side more and Richie has his renaissance style folk/madrigal band with his current wife. All of them carried on being very creative right up until today.
I absolutely agree that the MKII version of Deep Purple with Blackmore, Gillan, Paice, Lord and Glover was by far the best set up. At the time it was impossible to have bettered this quintet. Bloody awesome
I'll tell you what- another song off this album that really impressed me is The Hitman, for 2 reasons. First as we all know Queen can make great songs in many different genres and this one is definitely the hardest edged songs they ever did, I would go as far as calling it metal. Second it's amazing how strong Freddie's voice is, giving how sick he was. I would love to see you react to it. It might end up being your cup of tea, but it you might just love it, like I do! But it does show the band's versatiley once again ❤❤
Seen this doc about 200 times! The original airing had graphics for everyone with an update on what they were doing. Including the fact that not long after recording, Cozy Powell died in a car crash. Sad end to a great talent. Love this telling of the first band I became obsessed with!
True. He did have some qualities live. But in the broader scheme of things back then in that era, he was miscast, And imo those Sabbath albums with Ian Gillan and Tony Martin are their worst. As i said, great live performances but.. When Geezer and Iommi together with Vinnie Appice formed Heaven and Hell with DIO back on vocals again years and years later the gears clicked in place again. Its the past and the best thing is, is that we got the amazing music. Out of everyone concerned
Originally Ian and the Sabbath members were supposed to make a "supergroup" but the label made them use the Black Sabbath name. Same with the Glenn Hughes album. That's why it was titled "Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi".
@@Bone74838those albums with Ian Gillian and Tony Martin are excellent. You don't know what the hell you're talking about because you're not a musician. So they go right over your head . Shame 😮
Made in Japan is in the top 10 of the greatest recorded live albums of all time we must all agree right. Come taste the band with a phenomenal album wow despite all of Tommy bolens problems he's a great underrated guitarist. But in my opinion Ritchie Blackmore is one of the greatest top 10 guitarists in the world of modern say who's better there's a few you know who they are we all know who they are. Thank you for sharing the video I really enjoyed it
Thought I know all about DP, RB, WS and everything in between but this vid proof me dead wrong. On other hand I’m not quite sure if I still respect DP Mk2 members the way I did so but c’est la vie. Thanks for posting this vid.
I use to play this in my art room when I waz 12. Everybody else into Glam rock, not me...i think the B/side waz hush or that might have been on Fireball not sure.
One error - Slide It In was the Whitesnake album that was remixed at Geffen's insistence. Apart from that, this is really well done. I remember laughing at some points and feeling sad at others in '95 when this was first shown.
Great documentary. I just wonder why the documentarist have wrecked the 4:3 footage by malforming it to 16:9. The fear of black bars is stupid. Show the historic clips CORRECTLY!!!
An unusual choice of narrator for this documentary (John Ravenscroft), who by then, seemed to despise most of the rock music that had transpired before the great ‘punk/new wave disaster’. I suppose it was really a soap opera/gossipy thing, rather than a musical appreciation, which probably pleased him more. Having said that, he did do a good job of it.
My daughter watched the whole series with me and commented that you can predict who has done well and who hasn't by the state of the furniture they are sitting on!
It seems a byproduct of the all time great bands is there is a point where some members can’t co-exist. The Beatles, Eagles, Floyd, Sabbath, The Stones, Journey etc all went through these awkward transitions. Some continued to have success but it was never the same. It’s emotional to see a reunion show when members set aside their differences and come back. The magic is noticeable! I believe the tension is where the great songs come from but obviously this isn’t a sustainable (or healthy) method.
Fails to mention the sessions between Paice, Blackmore and Lynott. Blackmore was ready to leave MK2. According to interviews, Paice asked Ritchie what it would take to stay, to which Ritchie wanted Glover gone as well. Lord and Paice were both complicit here.
I wish they could have made some more Stormbringer albums with the same line up. But Ritchie wanted something else and he made Rainbow which was pretty cool. Well. that´s life, At least there after Deep Purple made Perfect Stranger and that was also pretty cool too
As much as I loved watching this it was very clear that Ritchie had recently left the band and the rest were very happy to throw him under the bus for all that went wrong. Happily Jon was able to mellow his opinion of the man in black before he died.
Maybe, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how much of genius guitarist Blackmore is/was. When you are such a massive bellend, that you repeatedly derail a legendary band like Purple, it counts for sweet FA.
This was a great documentary. I was just disappointed that Dio & Ritchie weren't mentioned. Early Rainbow was the absolute best of the best. (Catch the Rainbow, Rainbow Eye's, Man on the Silver Mountain Etc... ).
Coverdale's replacements for Blackmore: 1. Jeff Beck. 2. Rory Gallagher 3. Tommy Bolin. Just shows how GREAT Rory Gallagher was because he was also offered the job replacing Mick Taylor in the Stones.
For what it's worth, I saw Rory Gallagher at the last gig I was at at the old Glasgow Apollo, from one of the "ashtrays" by the stage, and it was a great performance, but Rainbow a few months later in what was basically an industrial warehouse outside Edinburgh, Ritchie Blackmore was in another class altogether. MK 2 Deep Purple in their prime would have blown any other band off stage. Saw them two years ago, still pretty good, but not the sheer intensity they had in the 70's. Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord were what made Purple special, and that's gone. We'll never see the like again, sadly. Then again, I also love big band music and could say the same about Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey and many others. Music is a broad church and what is good is good, regardless of genre.
I was surprised that one of the deciding factors that led to the reunion and Perfect Strangers album in the 80s wasn't mentioned: the fake 'Deep Purple' that drew in Rod Evans and resulted in legal action to maintain ownership of the band's name.
Oh, my God!! Could you imagine if they had brought on Rory Gallagher?!? The greatest guitarist in the world in the greatest band in the world?! Musical heaven!!
The first record with Gillian and Glover was the single “Hallelujah “. One of the first on the brand-new Harvest label. Should’ve been a hit, but wasn’t. Still great to my ears.
Shoeshine music :0))) Ritchie Ritchie.... I don't mind all the changes in the lineup, it made it quite interesting to compare... Morse is no Blackmore, and I don't have any problem with that. Blackmore left and made some great records with Rainbow, so, in stead of one great band we all of a sudden could enjoy AND Purple AND Rainbow AND Paice Ashton Lord AND Whitesnake etc. ...I'm not complaining ! Well.... Until Whitesnake went to the States and Coverdale apparantly ran into a rugby player who kicked him in the soft spot you know where, that is.
@steveludwig4200 I don't know what He was doing there...curiosity perhaps? But I do know this. Apparently He made this remark about the performance....."This is the worst load of Shit I've ever seen"! And that's what set Ritchie Off, and rightfully So!
@@highwaystar3780 Coverdale was probably telling the truth because looking back...Whitesnake was a FAR superior band compared with Rainbow. Blackmore was the guy that SHOULD have stuck it out with MK2 of Purple for at least two or three more albums and they should have never released that garbage "Who Do We Think We Are" LP.
For me, the 1970 Mark II band of Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice was the ultimate Deep Purple line-up.
Absolutely!
Agree MK2 quintessential but Tommy Bolin( RIP) is my favorite 🎸 'Come Taste the Band" ( 75) 🔥
Check track " Dealer"
...yes MK II, I was 1971 on their concert Deep Purple in Rock tour in Berlin, never forget this !
Best band ever... Mk2

One can't make any of this up. The banjo player (a British insult) even turned on Coverdale. Extremely jealous of Gillan, also. Roger was a true gentleman, also felt his wrath. Paice knew exactly what was transpiring as did Lord. Even so, greatest group ever. That only a million know about.
Very noble of Lord & Paice to come clean about their part in the dynamics. We have all done this.
Paice is blameless as he was really just along for the ride in a band run by an out of control Richie Blackmore.
@@xwhite2020 Paice was just a kid, he was only 20 in 1968. Blackers did all the chopping, Paice & Lord were too weak to resist.
@@xwhite2020 He got the other end of it in 1981 when David Coverdale fired him from Whitesnake.

We used to say being a rock star risked prolonged adolescence. Deep Purple clearly illustrates that risk.
Indeed. By about 60 years in this case.
"Glenn was singing like Stevie Wonder more and more as the days went on..." Absolutely fckn hilarious.
In Trapeze he sang more rough
I sure wish, as a huge Tommy Bolin fan, he wouldn't have had a drug addiction. It's sad. This was an excellent documentary. I learned a lot that I didn't know about one of my all time favorite rock bands.
Tommy Bolin was an amazing guitarist and a great guy. And so sad that addiction took its toll on him and ended his life.
Loved MK2 Purple growing up , but as I got hip to early Funk I am far more in the Bolin camp.
No one plays that greasy. No one. Not in any style

That was brave of them to do a concerto with an orchestra. But it was a great piece they left for us. Not to mention the popular composer at the time.
It’s hilarious that David Coverdale calls Richie Ricardo.🤣🤣 It sounds funny with the Brit accent. Ricardo!
David was hilarious and not afraid of Ricardo. He gave his all and came close to matching Gillan.
Thanks for the series.
Im getting goose bumps all over again.
The greatest rock band ever?
An over-used term, I know, but for a couple of years they really were.
I know as times change so do the style of things all around but music today is just noise, but back then that was and will always be music.

Blackmore, would of had to been strange, only child in the family, blacksheep
super
My daughter watched the whole series with me and commented that you can predict who has done well and who hasn't by the state of the furniture they are sitting on!
nice one😃
It seems a byproduct of the all time great bands is there is a point where some members can’t co-exist. The Beatles, Eagles, Floyd, Sabbath, The Stones, Journey etc all went through these awkward transitions. Some continued to have success but it was never the same. It’s emotional to see a reunion show when members set aside their differences and come back. The magic is noticeable! I believe the tension is where the great songs come from but obviously this isn’t a sustainable (or healthy) method.
Fails to mention the sessions between Paice, Blackmore and Lynott. Blackmore was ready to leave MK2. According to interviews, Paice asked Ritchie what it would take to stay, to which Ritchie wanted Glover gone as well. Lord and Paice were both complicit here.
One mention of JLT and none of Dio makes this vastly incomplete.
I think it is because Ronnie was never a part of Deep Purple, in fact, only Cozy Powell (R.I.P.) from Rainbow got a few words in.
Perfect band 👏👏👏
I wish they could have made some more Stormbringer albums with the same line up. But Ritchie wanted something else and he made Rainbow which was pretty cool. Well. that´s life, At least there after Deep Purple made Perfect Stranger and that was also pretty cool too
As much as I loved watching this it was very clear that Ritchie had recently left the band and the rest were very happy to throw him under the bus for all that went wrong. Happily Jon was able to mellow his opinion of the man in black before he died.
Maybe, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how much of genius guitarist Blackmore is/was. When you are such a massive bellend, that you repeatedly derail a legendary band like Purple, it counts for sweet FA.
Richie Blackmood.
Still Crazy!!!!!
This was a great documentary. I was just disappointed that Dio & Ritchie weren't mentioned. Early Rainbow was the absolute best of the best. (Catch the Rainbow, Rainbow Eye's, Man on the Silver Mountain Etc... ).
Coverdale has a beautiful speaking voice as well as singing
'Posh' ?
Posh Yorkshire
Coverdale's replacements for Blackmore: 1. Jeff Beck. 2. Rory Gallagher 3. Tommy Bolin. Just shows how GREAT Rory Gallagher was because he was also offered the job replacing Mick Taylor in the Stones.
For what it's worth, I saw Rory Gallagher at the last gig I was at at the old Glasgow Apollo, from one of the "ashtrays" by the stage, and it was a great performance, but Rainbow a few months later in what was basically an industrial warehouse outside Edinburgh, Ritchie Blackmore was in another class altogether. MK 2 Deep Purple in their prime would have blown any other band off stage. Saw them two years ago, still pretty good, but not the sheer intensity they had in the 70's. Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord were what made Purple special, and that's gone. We'll never see the like again, sadly. Then again, I also love big band music and could say the same about Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey and many others. Music is a broad church and what is good is good, regardless of genre.
Coverdale is no Gillan, is he? At lest, not in DP.
Did you want a Gillan copy?
The third album with the mark 1 lineup was great
The concerto album sounds more like a film score or a musical.
I saw Rainbow with Dio on Vocals, that was definitive version.
Ruthless bizness people!
When is this from? I am thinking mid/late '90s.
Early-mid 90s I think. I remember first seeing this when I was at school.
1995
Nick Simper got screwed
Out of the hall of fame too
I was surprised that one of the deciding factors that led to the reunion and Perfect Strangers album in the 80s wasn't mentioned: the fake 'Deep Purple' that drew in Rod Evans and resulted in legal action to maintain ownership of the band's name.
Oh, my God!! Could you imagine if they had brought on Rory Gallagher?!? The greatest guitarist in the world in the greatest band in the world?! Musical heaven!!
25:00 Now imagine Rory Gallagher at Purple... that would have been awesome
What's the music at the intro to the video?
The first record with Gillian and Glover was the single “Hallelujah “. One of the first on the brand-new Harvest label. Should’ve been a hit, but wasn’t. Still great to my ears.
What's the intro tune ?
What's the title of the introduction music?
Wait a minute! When did Randy Rhodes come into the picture.. Black More isn't the only one.
Tommy Bolin ( RIP)
Numero Uno
Why was Rod Evans missing from the final collage of this video?
He had a great voice, mandrake root, I'm so glad true classics
Shoeshine music :0))) Ritchie Ritchie....
I don't mind all the changes in the lineup, it made it quite interesting to compare...
Morse is no Blackmore, and I don't have any problem with that. Blackmore left and made some great records with Rainbow, so, in stead of one great band we all of a sudden could enjoy AND Purple AND Rainbow AND Paice Ashton Lord AND Whitesnake etc. ...I'm not complaining ! Well.... Until Whitesnake went to the States and Coverdale apparantly ran into a rugby player who kicked him in the soft spot you know where, that is.
Ian Gillan was very pretty!
The definitive version of Deep Purple was the one with Gillan and Glover.
Born Again was a GREAT album for Sabbath & Gillan..I don't wanna hear it...ass kickin album
I know Tony & Ian thought it "didn't work," but many of us disagree. Seventh Star with Glenn..same thing
Funnily enough, Blackmore and Coverdale now get on very well!🙂
Never any issue with those two. Blackmore didnt much care for Hughes and his "girls" voice or his coke habit though.
@@steveludwig4200: No issue? They had a literal fight at a Rainbow show in 1980!
@@AlexAlexon3897 What was Coverdale doing at a Rainbow show?
@steveludwig4200 I don't know what He was doing there...curiosity perhaps? But I do know this. Apparently He made this remark about the performance....."This is the worst load of Shit I've ever seen"! And that's what set Ritchie Off, and rightfully So!
@@highwaystar3780 Coverdale was probably telling the truth because looking back...Whitesnake was a FAR superior band compared with Rainbow. Blackmore was the guy that SHOULD have stuck it out with MK2 of Purple for at least two or three more albums and they should have never released that garbage "Who Do We Think We Are" LP.
