This is a piece of history what they should always show in the schools when they talk about history of music instead of playing yesterday or let it by Beatles for the millionth time.
He was pissed because they wanted the band to play at 6:30 and he told them not until dusk, but they busted his balls for over 4 hours, but he got what he wanted a late start...And music history of course...
For some time I've been convinced the camera was pre-arranged. If you notice, the operator doesn't seem surprised at all, he even walks forward with the camera. Had that been spontaneous he would have jumped back and maybe used WTF body language, but he carried on. No matter, it's still entertaining. Ritchie a not expecting the second explosion (when he retrieves his guitar).
Ritchie was pissed because Purple were supposed go on when it was dark for their light show but unusually for a festival things were running ahead of time not behind.Ritchies roadie Ron Quinton put too much juice in the amp and apparently blew drummer Ian Paice’s glasses off.Upstaged ELP ‘s spinning piano.
Ritchie was pissed at this gig. The conditions for playing at this gig were not being met. And he was furious. I think he took his anger out on his guitar. Dude three priceless guitars.
He was pissed because it was agreed that they play at dusk, then someone knocked on his door around 3 hours before that time insisting they had to go on and play.

I see where Kirk Hammett got his style of guitar destruction from except I never seen him blow-up and burn his entire stack like that. There goes 25K in gear man. Painful to watch.
Clever Blackmore. This caper was the ultimate marketing strategy. Everyone remember Deep Purple because of th i s at the '74 California Jam. Both Black Sabbath and Emerson Lake and Palmer played that night. No one remembers their respective performance. There's also a story within a story about t h at Stratocaster. Apparently it was rented to Ritchie at a price that was tantamount to robbery. The sum of $US2,000 has been mentioned. Ritchie couldn't use his own strat as Purple had just arrived in the US and their equipment in New York. Blackmore was forced to borrow equipment. Legend has it that person who rented Blackmore the Stratocaster was a real c__t. Blackmore smashed and burnt it. Go Blackers . . .
no one remembers black sabbath because a full live VIDEO show hasnt been released its only 4 or 5 songs that have a video on them the rest are just pretty bad audio and i bet black sabbath knew that ritchie was going to blow up the stage cause they said in an interview before the show that they were just there to play and not blow up the stage
Really Richie 3 guitar doomed , i can understand 1 but 2 extras , shit .I can give you my address and you can donate one for my cause .47 yr. Playing still need a good guitar AMEN
Back on the 70's when they were throwing the audience a guitar they were celebrating, then in the 80's for a plastic bottle thrown on stage bands were quitting the show.
I've watched this video a thousand times and i've been practicing for literally months now but I just can't seem to get quite that exact tone....what strings is he using ?...
Apparently, Tommy Bolin was watching this at home and later commented with some amusement at Ritchie almost setting his "britches" on fire. (I think I'm spelling britches correctly, forgive me I'm British!).
Speaking of fire, that was real fire caused by real gasoline. The fire marshals wanted to arrest Ritchie and co. But they hurriedly made it out of the concert without being arrested...... True story!?!? When rock was dangerous. You can't make up this kind of shit.!?!?
@@hectorgonzalez9170 Hi Hector, according to Coverdale on The Ritchie Blackmore Story DVD, it was Ron Quinton who loaded too much gunpowder into the speakers (as well as gasoline) and it blew a hole in the stage. Ian Paice lost his glasses and Glenn was doing coke. I call that a good night out.
@@euanelliott3613 Yes I know, and thank God, everyone made it out without serious harm!?!? Damn what the hell were they thinking!?!? Kids don't do drugs!?!? Lmao
Loved it when Ritchie took on the ABC Camera. Ritchie wins but it cost Purple over $10,000. Does anyone know where the Helicopter is? We need a fast ride to the Plane!!!
Richie black more is a great guitarist, but he have no respect of the fans and the craftsmen who builds instruments. I think he,s an angry guitar hero. He,s good, no question about it. Vincent la,Valletta malta.
This is the strat version of 9/11
Every year on this date, strats all over the world stop and reflect on the horrors visited at California Jam 74.
lmao.
He literally r4ped that guitar though.
By his guitar skills and then burning it, lmao.

My music teacher told us about this in school
I disagree. This is rubbish. Absolute nonsense.
@@Han-Solo459 aren't you an interesting contrarian wow
This is a jerk acting like a child. He should be forgotten.
Guys from 70's knew how to make it really hot. Rock'n'roll is dead nowadays.
Guitar tech: no guitars to wipe down and tune tonight!
g3ultra 🤣 “Well, how ‘bout that? I’ll just call it a day then.” 🤣
Hendrix: I can play guitar with my teeth
Ritchie: hold my high heels
well, hendrix is the last person you wanna compare to because he burned up a guitar onstage
high heels hahaha
please bitch
Nobody is going to talk about Ian Paice? He was destroying it!
He always does
Many guitar player imitates this but none has his playing skills nor his moves.Blackmore has got style.
O louco bicho tá pegando fogo!! Richie Blackmore mito do rock mundial!
“And this scar is from California Jame in 1974, man!”
Ritchie doesn't like having cameramen on stage. He was told there wouldn't be cameramen on stage and there were six! He got pissed off.
I heard he got pissed of because how close the cameraman went and he told him to back off. He didnt so he smashed the camera with his guitar.
All part of his schtick. He loves the attention.
He was pissed because they wanted the band to play at 6:30 and he told them not until dusk, but they busted his balls for over 4 hours, but he got what he wanted a late start...And music history of course...
`Guys the police are coming`
`Get in the helicopter`.
hahaha. I am reading the history of Deep Purple and now I need a time machine.

I always watch this, when I'm in special moods. It's therapie!
Love when Glenn Hughes is like: "WTF!!!" and runs away from the stage but keeps on effing playing, hell of a showman!..
The consummate professional.
Ritchie Blackmore my favourite guitaress.
I hated seeing all those Strats busted. 😭
The only other band, that I can think of, who would be this destructive on stage is the Who. Always awesome to watch this.
When music was dangerous and fun
And totally decadent.
dangerous? What's dangerous in this video? This is just dumb and embarassing as a Spinal tap scene.
Me:WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE GUITAR CAN'T YOU JUST GIVE IT TO ME?
Him: *kills the guitar*
Blackmore
The legend !!!!
Кто-то же был свидетелем этих событий, сохранил как память.Гений он и есть гений.! Не на каждом концерте случаются "такие номера"!
Ritchie was pissed at this gig. The conditions for playing at this gig were not being met. And he was furious. I think he took his anger out on his guitar. Dude three priceless guitars.
They were cheap copies but still. Wow!
@@stevemora7845 Hopefully Squire Strats. If they existed in 1974...
It was part of his act.he did.this all the time.also he was trying to.out do elp.
He was pissed because Tony Iommi played before him and he can't do better.
He was pissed because it was agreed that they play at dusk, then someone knocked on his door around 3 hours before that time insisting they had to go on and play.
🤣 And this was the BALLAD! 🤣
Lol
I wonder if a guitar thrown into the hall broke someone's head ???
Русский Север That’s a mighty BIG hall.
Symphony of destruction.... beautiful...go Ritchie go!!
This is the pioneer od thr 70s that is not found in todays concert act

If he did this to pre-CBS strats. The FBI would have a search warrant after him
Ritchie Blackmore........Ich fand´s KLASSE !
Enjoy my youtube content sonja..
When you ran out of ideas for your guitar solo..

LOL
@@yvesdehaen4158
I was going to say the same thing as you. Ritchie run out of ideas for solos. Are you fucking kidding!?!?
I was there. It was LOUD!

Watching this I feel an absolute pain, F for the Stratocasters

DP themselves are HOF
Sensational ! Great ! Ritchie is on Fire……..!!!
Música e poema excelente ❤️
sta cosa di distruggere e/o incendiare le chitarre, personalmente l ho sempre ritenuta una gran stronzata e non mi ha mai affascinato.

Blew up good real good
BOOOOOOOOM!!!!
Ritchie is the king
Wow what the hell was he on dam I wish I had just one of those dam guitars
He can buy 300 news in one day
That set self destruction almost banned deep purple from playing in the u.s
Steve Morse dreams of doing this
That's cruel. I like it.
Che grande epoca, perché gruppi come questi non nascono più??? Perché nessuno fa più queste cose sul palco???

👏👏👍
California Jam was one of the most exciting events I attended.
GTA: Guitar Hero
High Voltage risk⚡🔥
SO HE IS THE ONE WHO STARTED ALL THIS ROCK NONSENSE....
If you're referring to guitar-smashing, I think it was actually The Who's Pete Townshend in the 60's, first by accident, then by vocation.
Always the bloody guitarists craving attention.
@@Jellybeantiger It was actually a way of protesting, go watch The Ritchie Blackmore Story documentary.
Yeahh!!

That's entertainment!
Epic!!!
He LOVED Hendrix!
Malmsteen is your copy !!!
He can't even copy Blackmore's hairy balls.
Seems like when Ritchie Blackmore on stage it must do and destroy the Stratocaster but for me it's take a lot of money to buy it..
Jimi had done this at Monterey 1967
Blackmore!
THAT, ladies and gentlemen, IS A ROCK n ROLL BAND!
Kurt cobain, got inspired by this...
Wonder if Kurt Cobain was at this gig.... never took a note of Ritchies playing but the smashing part hell yeah
If he was there, then he was only 7 years old. I'm not saying it's not possible. I seen Janis Joplin when I was 7.
@@guitarttimman nah I doubt he was I was just saying it does remind me alot of Kurt when he trashed the Cameras and shit with his guitar at redding
Kurt was cool too. I did like the Grunge movement in the 90's.
Two words - *FUCKIN' EPIC!*
El día de furia de Ritchie 🤘🤣🤘
Yeah but can you change a tire?
90 week ass Jonas brother fans put this video down this was what the seventies was all about
CRAZY!!!
Ha ha! Crazy👍
HOLY FUCK ! THATS ....ROCK...N...ROLL....
Great guitarplayer, all respect, but i can't stand musicians that ruin their instruments like that. It's just sad.
Blackmore Best Of The Best Guitarist
i think they got arrested for this
Guitar relicing a la Blackmore. Does it come in a reissue?
Glenn trying to get into the mix, and then thinks better of it. It's like, dude, stay away from Ritchie, lol.
2:12 I really wonder who eventully got that Strat?
Black sabbath wouldn't.
It's spinal tap!
I was thinking I should have sold my soul in 79
Yngwie copied the stage moves and the clothes and the guitar sacrifice
Malmsteen was like a sort of disciple of Blackmore, he admired Ritchie
What about ruining a TV production camera?
Richie black more is a great guitarist, but he have no respect of the fans and the craftsmen who builds instruments. I think he,s an angry guitar hero. He,s good, no question about it. Vincent la,Valletta malta.
Yes bit of twat is Blackmore..great musician but a complete tosser
Ronnie James Dio said he learned to appreciate his fans from Ritchie. That he always took time for them.
😀😀😀😀😀😀
🤘
00:43 let me get some water from the well.
Hizo todo miercoles se recalento
GUYS DONT SHOW THIS TO YOUR STRAT, YOUR STRAT WILL CRY AND LEAVE YOU
He hit the wrong tv camera it should of been a CBS camera instead of ABC camera (Guitarist joke there 😂)
