I was there that night. Deep Purples Perfect Strangers tour in 1984. Ian Gillan introduced George on stage as their contestant winner “Arnold” from Liverpool. We all thought Liverpool out of west of Sydney and what competition was this?? Anyway George strolls on and they jam to Little Richards “Lucille.” I didn’t know it was Beatle George until I read the paper the next day. I don’t think anyone knew who he was apart from some of the lucky punters up near the front of the stage. Great night and great concert.
George may have been known as the quiet Beatle, but as a songwriter and musician, he was a genius. Love the fact that he acknowledged the great Ian Paice.
Ian is one of the most incredible percussionists that I have ever witnessed live. Perfect strangers tour, back to back shows. Worcester Centrum, Massachusetts.
"I was playing the wrong key and everything." Lol. George was just so cool. And I'm glad to hear some love from him for Ian Paice who's good and I think gets overlooked in this band.
How can you misread the key playing Deep Purple? Every song is obvious. The easiest thing about them is the keys they play in. It's the Beatles that have the harder chord changes.
@@philgreco7037 you sound like a guy on the internet whos trying to sound smarter than he actually is. I don't know much of Deep purples work so I can't speak on them. As for the Beatles, they're incredible but if you think the chord changes in their songs are difficult, you are in desperate need of practice. I've been playing for almost a year now and I've learned so many beatles songs. In fact I recommend any beginner guitarist who's aware of the Beatles work to learn their songs first.
I’m saw Purple in 2012. Which was a treat for us because not a lot of big rock bands come here. I was 31 years old and I have to say that Ian Paice was incredible. In the pocket or playing reckless, he made it look easy.
Along with David Lynch and the Beatles mainly because without George I wouldn't be doing it, also DON'T PAY FOR TM OR ANY MEDITATION, TM CHANGES LIVES AND IS THE EASIEST FORM OF MEDITATION
Thats how cool George was. He went to a show because two of the guys were his neighbors and friends. He couldve been mobbed and bothered by everyone but went. Wish I had known him personally, what a cool, classy guy!
Actually I don't know any reason for which George Harrison could probably be mobbed by Deep Purple or their Fans... Deep Purple did a Beatles Cover to get famous. I guess it was Help.
@@wolfsimon9138 Two great Beatles songs,Deep Purple was recorded by Evans-Simper...remember..1) Help (Shades of Deep Purple 1968 their first L.P.) and 2) We can work it out (Book of Taliesyn 1968 too )
i'm 59 and can remember in early 70's, deep purple and black sabbath were the stuff. i mean, just epic. great to hear a legend like george giving props
Hardly liked them...he "enjoyed the show" but mostly thought they where "funny" which translates that he didn't took them seriously by any means, same with led zep. I think he wasn't into heavy music that much. I recall an interview on him saying he was mostly into his close friends music and more instrospective music and that he literally stopped listening to heavy music after Cream disolved...he didn't like punk either
@@cinematicpassages8884 if George had liked D. P., he would have played with them long before, because he jammed with the who is who of music. He was never genuinely interested
Jon Lord and Ian Paice both guested on George records. Jon played synth on Circles and piano on Brainwashed. Ian played on Cockamamie Business and ( possibly ) on Poor Little Girl.
I have read that Ian played on Cheer Down too. And Jon was part of the band playing „Freedom“ (with George, EC, Ringo, etc) in the comedy „Water“ produced by George‘s Handmade Films. Funny movie btw
Deep Purple has always been my number one band and George has always been my favorite Beatle. He seemed to write the songs I enjoy the most. George is right Ian Paice was a monster on the drums. Fastest Rolls and the best fill drummer in Rock History.
In 1974 deep purple wa3 touring with elf in California David coverdale got sick on one show so what happened is dio sung for elf the opening act blackmore asked dio to take coverdale s place he did and he sung deep purple songs wow it was out of this world louder and more better than all the other deep purple period
I was there that night in the second row, having gone with a Deep Purple fan with free tickets. George came on and I knew who he was ... I was a bigger fan of George Harrison than Deep Purple (having all of George’s records, except Wonderwall Music). He was on for just the one song, dressed in white ... a great memory. So funny that he came on.
"Made in Japan" is one of the best live albums of all time....and I was never a big Deep Purple fan....they had ENERGY on stage....only through their playing. Tight band.
One of the best?, probably 'THE BEST' and I like 40-50 bands before I get to Deep Purple. That drum sound is so vivid, you can see the drum kit moving while you're listening. Blackmore plays the odd off note but that's fine, it's human beings playing, that's what you want to hear. The stars aligned when they recorded those shows.
Ditto. Still highly peeved I can't get Deep Purple's cover of "Ring Of Fire". That was the very first DP song I heard. I was in my car and had to pull off the road to listen to it. The only time I was affected like that was listening to Sgt. Pepper's. It was a cold night and I was breaking into a sweat by the time Fixing A Hole was playing. Bought it the day after it was in the record shops. Bought it unheard. I figured, if they put that much effort into the cover, imagine how the record would sound. I wasn't wrong.
So George was neighbors with Jon Lord and Ian Paice. I know he was also neighbors with Gary Moore. I'm neighbors with an old lady whose dog craps on my lawn.
Look, when you're in a band and can bring George Harrison on stage, it honestly doesn't matter if he's plugged in or know the right chords... you've got a f Beatle with you on the stage!!!
Funny how that Guinness Book of World Records title for "loudest band" for Deep Purple was known to so many people from the 1970s on- even by George Harrison. That book was the mini-internet of it's time.
@@jmad627 My mistake. On looking it up, it was Steve Morse. Still not the worst compliment in the world, but not quite the weight it would have had if Macca had said it.
Very cool clip. I discovered Ian Paice, and really started listening to Deep Purple, because of Yoyoka's drum cover of Burn and Ian's review of her performance.
Ian Paice is such a great talent, it's surprising he doesn't get more recognition. His name rarely comes up in conversations about great rock drummers, but I'd put him up there. He's incredibly underrated.
Deep Purple was definitely the loudest concert I've ever been to. You could physically feel the music slamming into you. Almost like bouncing your chest into a wall. Never forgot that.
I saw Deep Purple in 1991, but the loudest concert I remember going to was AC/DC in 1985. I didn't find DP to be exceptionally loud, at least not compared to other bands I had seen. Maybe they had toned it down by the time I saw them.
Grand Funk and Motörehad are the bands I've always seen mentioned among the loudest bands ever (also Slade, The Who, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin could be extremely loud, and even Pink Floyd). Besides, before the modern PA systems, the guys were fried themselves by their own stage amps/cabinets, hence most of them ended up having severe hearing problems (ask Roger Daltrey, Brian Johnson or Pete Townshend).
I was at this concert but I'm stuffed if I can remember George being there. Mind you, I'm now in my mid-60s so my memories not that great. I do recall being in the very back row though as it was a last minute decision to go. George is so easy to listen to, such a calming voice.
@@glenchapman3899 I was there as well, and the good thing is it was the show they filmed. You can get a DVD of the concert and it was as fantastic as I remember it.
Never badmouthed anyone but, he was a cereal cheater on both his wives and had a affair with Ringo's fist wife while she was married to Ringo. Not the greatest example.
Thank you so much for this post! Just looked it up and watched. Awesome! Love to see rock royalty jams. Always some hidden gem I find by reading comments. Always think I've seen it all, but no I haven't! Lol. That was so fun to watch!
in the 1970s Japan was the place you went when your group was on the backside of fame. A well known muso told me that. I had no idea. BTW I own Made in Japan.
So out of the window goed his argument playing badly because he did not know their stuff, Lucille is a rock and roll classic very probably played by the Beatles themselves. But maybe George spent too much time in India.
I find it ironic to say the least, George spent his entire Beatle career in the shadows of arguably the two greatest composers in the history of modern music yet, out of my top 7 favorite Beatle songs, 3 were written by George, 2 by John & 2 by Paul. Furthermore, my most favorite Beatle song is "Something".
Flashbacks to that clip of them playing Little Richard's Lucille recorded from behind the stage....Blackmore face of joy was something strange...They had a great time playing together!
Deep Purple Mk1 (1968-1969) who had Rod Evans as lead singer and Nick Simper on Bass, along with the core of Jon, Ian, and Ritchie did a great cover version of Help! off their first album Shades of Deep Purple, and "We Can Work It Out" off their 2nd album The Book of Taliesyn. Although their early sound was influenced by the largely organ driven band Vanilla Fudge the members of Deep Purple also acknowledged the Beatles as well, so George missed out on two great early DP records and a couple of Vanilla Fudge-like extended Beatles classics.
0:20 He meant Whitesnake band, he was very close with Bernie actually. And don't forget Ian Paice played on Cheer Down, Cockamie Business and Poor Little Girl as well as Jon played on Brainwashed record.
Yeah, DP. I'm always very thankful my HS friend and I got to see Rory Gallagher open for DP at the Felt Forum, NYC. '74/'75. One of those years. Good time. DP...Holy ----. But Rory...Holy, Holy ----. IMHO
Remember that, from the point of view of someone who lived in London for so long (I know he was born in Liverpool), a neighbor can be somebody who lives 5 miles from you. (everything is relative). By the way, in Eric, s autobio, when he remembers his friendship with George, he says something like... "once I moved to hurt wood, we saw each other quite often, because his house was only 1 hour drive from mine".... (👌)
My loudest was the Allman Brothers 5-show run at the Riviera in Chicago in 1995. After the first night I wore earplugs, but my ears were ringing for a month after that! And I've been to hundreds and hundreds of shows.
"...then I walked down and sat in the center of the hall..." Yeah, I imagine he could pretty much sit wherever he wanted. "Excuse me, could I have that seat?" "What? Piss off, this is my.........yessir, yessir, here you go! Would you like my beer? Can I get you anything???" lol. Closest I got to that was sitting next to Ritchie Blackmore at a Jeff Beck concert once. Still pretty cool.
I just love to hear stories of English Bands from individuals from other english bands . eg. what did the Beatles think of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd around Piper / Saucer times. What did The Kinks think of The Who......
@@tomvespestad6764 And...! There exists a DP bootleg called Made In Japan 2000, with a song called 69 where Steve Morse plays the vocal melody of Within You Without You as part of the guitar solo.
@Maximillano Gabriel. Yes but that was with their first Vocalist Rod Evans . He actually was the one who suggested they do the song . I won’t go fully into it about Rod Evans but he was a good Vocalist too even though Ritchie Blackmore thought he was at best a Tom Jones and couldn’t do harder edge rock which was where DP was headed . This is called Mach I Deep Purple . After his firing Rod became Lead Vocalist for Captain Beyond and made two cult classic albums with them .
@@dagnabbit6187 DP Mark I covered Beatles song because their most inspiration at that time was Vanillia Fudge who covered Beatles too, with the same spirit of playing it in a different style as the originals (as they have done with Supremes "You keep me hanging on"). And you're right, Captain Beyond was very good.
Describing Deep Purple as "funny" is a sure sign he doesn't understand hard rock / metal. But that doesn't matter, he is an amazing song writer / musician in his own right
I was there that night. Deep Purples Perfect Strangers tour in 1984. Ian Gillan introduced George on stage as their contestant winner “Arnold” from Liverpool. We all thought Liverpool out of west of Sydney and what competition was this?? Anyway George strolls on and they jam to Little Richards “Lucille.” I didn’t know it was Beatle George until I read the paper the next day. I don’t think anyone knew who he was apart from some of the lucky punters up near the front of the stage. Great night and great concert.

Ian Paice played with Paul McCartney on McCartney's Run Devil Run.
Ian Paice is a criminally underrated drummer. One of the best EVER!!
He was also very funny and liked pranks.
And a perfect gentleman by all accounts. Only criminally underrated by those that didn’t see him. Silky smooth rudiments and pocket to burn.
The world is a sadder place without people like George.
George should be an example for all men. He just exudes class, humility, wisdom, and integrity. What a great man he was.
Watching this video I finally figured something out. George Harrison lived my dream life.
He was also a philanderer. Sad for his spouses.
👍👍👍🎸👍👍👍👀
Somewhat of a plagiarizer as well, wasn't he.
Have you lost your mind. George will never be an example of what a man should be.

Yeah, DP. I'm always very thankful my HS friend and I got to see Rory Gallagher open for DP at the Felt Forum, NYC. '74/'75. One of those years. Good time. DP...Holy ----. But Rory...Holy, Holy ----. IMHO
The sense you get is that all four Beatles were guys who just loved music and fellow musicians like kids on a playground.
"No one came for miles around and said who's he?"
Made in Japan is the greatest live rock record ever, imo.
I will say Thin Lizzy Live And Dangerous is the best live record ever
It is so dynamic. Crazy, wild music.
Love listening to him say 'Smoke on the Water'.
There is a video of that performance. The guys in Deep Purple looked like a bunch of kids whos cool uncle came to visit.
"it's the feeling..." Well said that woman.
Surely George wore some purple on the Sgt. Pepper sessions - they're a match made in heaven!
Remember that, from the point of view of someone who lived in London for so long (I know he was born in Liverpool), a neighbor can be somebody who lives 5 miles from you. (everything is relative). By the way, in Eric, s autobio, when he remembers his friendship with George, he says something like... "once I moved to hurt wood, we saw each other quite often, because his house was only 1 hour drive from mine".... (👌)
Deep Purple covered the Beatles song Help in thier early years with Simper and Evens.
“Smoke on the Water or summat” George Harrison, 1987
There is something awesome about mentioning that your neighbors are Jon Lord and Ian Paige like it's no big deal
George is so Zen. RIP
2 of the loudest concerts in my 44 years of shows were:
1. White Zombie that opened for Pantera (1996)
2. The Black Crows (1991)
My loudest was the Allman Brothers 5-show run at the Riviera in Chicago in 1995. After the first night I wore earplugs, but my ears were ringing for a month after that! And I've been to hundreds and hundreds of shows.
MY 2 loudest concerts - AC/DC & AC/DC
My loudest concert was Motorhead.
Fine fellow.
His hair was perfect
George had great hair ❤
"...then I walked down and sat in the center of the hall..." Yeah, I imagine he could pretty much sit wherever he wanted. "Excuse me, could I have that seat?" "What? Piss off, this is my.........yessir, yessir, here you go! Would you like my beer? Can I get you anything???" lol. Closest I got to that was sitting next to Ritchie Blackmore at a Jeff Beck concert once. Still pretty cool.
TRES Cool
MY favorite Beatle..
I just love to hear stories of English Bands from individuals from other english bands . eg. what did the Beatles think of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd around Piper / Saucer times. What did The Kinks think of The Who......

DP covered Help .!!!
And "we can work it out"
@@tomvespestad6764
I believe they did
@@tomvespestad6764 And...! There exists a DP bootleg called Made In Japan 2000, with a song called 69 where Steve Morse plays the vocal melody of Within You Without You as part of the guitar solo.
@Maximillano Gabriel. Yes but that was with their first Vocalist Rod Evans . He actually was the one who suggested they do the song . I won’t go fully into it about Rod Evans but he was a good Vocalist too even though Ritchie Blackmore thought he was at best a Tom Jones and couldn’t do harder edge rock which was where DP was headed . This is called Mach I Deep Purple . After his firing Rod became Lead Vocalist for Captain Beyond and made two cult classic albums with them .
@@dagnabbit6187 DP Mark I covered Beatles song because their most inspiration at that time was Vanillia Fudge who covered Beatles too, with the same spirit of playing it in a different style as the originals (as they have done with Supremes "You keep me hanging on"). And you're right, Captain Beyond was very good.
A huge fan of DP .....HARRISON was
Describing Deep Purple as "funny" is a sure sign he doesn't understand hard rock / metal. But that doesn't matter, he is an amazing song writer / musician in his own right
George was such a good bloke...
1.11- ahh schoolboy humour, it never leaves us does it..... with a chuckle says "and John Lord there, rocking his organ" Great stuff.
Give me love give me love give me peace on earth...
Deep Purple > The Beatles
