    A Band Sound that Typified the Late 60's and Early 70's

    Deep Purple

    This band had a few incarnations. The only line up for me was Ian Gillian singing and Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. Sometimes overlooked because of big names like Hendrix and Zeppelin, these guys had the ability to fill the room with sound, at a time when the 5 guys used simple instruments/amps and recording equipment.


    Check out this live version of Child In Time. People talk about Plant and Daltrey's wailing voices, Gillian could throw it out there too.


    If you don't want to hear the whole song go to 1:55 and listen to about 3:15 ( audience reaction is great at 2:55 .... )


    They go into a fast improv section and talk about timing...check out 5:37...zombie audience still sitting there

    and of course my favorite song by the group, Lazy..


    People talk about The Doors and Ray Manzarek's keyboard playing...Jon Lord used a Hammond and IMO, he was one of the greats too

    (author's note)

    I like a lot of contemporary music, I'm not stuck in the past constantly. I do hate the manufactured music of today where 'artists' compile a bunch of pre-existing sounds on a computer and call it a song. Manufactured music features auto vocal tuning, drum tracks from a program, licks and riffs and melodies stolen from other musicians. That's not a song, that's a computer dissection and reassembly of music created by someone else or a mixing board.

    I miss the days where 4 or 5 guys stood there creating music on the spot. No backing tracks or lip syncing the difficult parts, just hard playing each and every night.


    That, to me...is music.

    Well, look at my signature - I have to agree with you Hal.

    And Deep Purple really paved the way for the heavier bands that followed in the 70s.

    I often would think I was born too late, being born in the mid 60s. Now, I actually think it was just right. Lots of good stuff then, and lots now - you just have to go out of your way to find it. And what most Classic Rock stations play...Ok, the tunes are good, but they seem to play the same 200 or so tunes over and over.

    The audience in that first video still kills me...night of the living Stepford kids




    By way of contrast check out the first minutes of this performance. They have those white-assed 70's stoners up and dancing in the audience

    Not a huge DP fan but they were certainly a quality band........ Smoke On The Water is possibly the most recognizable guitar riff of all time Oh, and you never even mentioned Black Knight

    Great time period for UK music tbh, lot of cracking bands started up in the late 60s/early 70s, Led Zep, Thin Lizzy, The Stones, The Who........ then you had the likes of Pink Floyd and ELO popping up too!
