John Lord is the greatest Hammond organ player, and one of the 5 greatest keyboardists, of all-time. That man rocked the Hammond like no other. You don't hear this often described of keyboardists, but he was an absolute beast. An absolute beast. Severely missed. R.I.P. you master. 🎹 🤘🏻
Number 1 in my opinion
IN ROCK was the FIRST DP album I ever bought in 1976. As both a 14 yr old then and a 60 yr old today I’m SO GLAD IT WAS….I couldn’t stop playing it on the Radiogram ….I thought I’d been hit by a DIESEL…Ritchie was leading the pack with his vibrato bar overdriven strat on guitar and JON was leading the keyboard pack with his Hammond going thru that blazing Marshall..Paicey was just the jammiest drummer I’d ever heard…And Ian and Roger coming on board gave the writing a TURBO BOOST way way above DP Mk 1.
The raw energy from In Rock is unsurpassed.
Same here in age but it was made in Japan that did it for me.
@@hammer-r oh yes. I remember the first time I heard Japan live double too. It was as if those tracks from Machine Head had received a TURBO BOOST . And the version of STRANGE KIND OF WOMAN on there was the BEST version EVER.
@@walterevans2118 I love the part in Japan's Strange Kind Of Woman where Gillan matches Blackmore's licks with near perfection. It's like hearing one guitar copying another.
@@Markus_Andrew YES. In those days between Ritchie & Ian it was like Musical E.S.P ....They were a really good team despite the off stage politics.
WHATTA LEGEND ! Bought IN ROCK when it came out.
It makes me smile hearing Gillan’s gut wrenching vocals.
Rod Evens sings Mandrake Root better than Ian Gillan.
He doesnt sing ,he shrieks-awful.
@@robertosborne7542 you’re not very clued up on the difference between good distortion singing (which Ian Gillan was top notch at), and shrieking. Or maybe rock music just isn’t your thing.
Saw John Lord with DP live. He was truly mind bending. Unbelievably talented and musical.
The epitome and quintessence of hard rock. No other band could match DP in virtuosity at that time.
Jon and Ritchie’s duo combined with Ian’s drumming defined the sound of real Deep Purple.
...and never forget Gillan's unique voice!
@@walterkirchgessner No doubt Gillan HAD an awesome voice when he was young, but then it kinda went downhill pretty fast.
To me, the real core of Deep Purple were Jon Lord, RItchie Blackmmore and Ian Paice. They defined the sound of the band and you could add pretty much any decent vocalist and bassist and they would still sound like Deep Purple.
Without Ritchie Blackmore and/or Jon Lord it just sounds like a different band to me.
@@ivanterekhov5369 No, I don't think they would have had the same success without the voice and songwriting of Gillan and Glover.
@@SaulGoodman-w2x Well, I think it's OK to have different opinions, so, let's agree to disagree.
Here here! They were the Core Sound of DP! They Proved it 3 times! They could put anyone in the Drivers seat & Succeed! First with Evans, then Guillian & last Coverdale. Once Richy left? Most of the Magic went with him! "Come taste the band Still went Gold! But with Richie 🎸 it would have went platinum!
The clip of them playing in that theatre exemplifies the quality of TV production of the era. Clear camerawork, no gaudy or dazzlingly coloured lights and all the vocals and instruments well defined and audible.
"The Wizard of the Hammond". I believe that honorific was bestowed upon Jon by none other than Rick Wakeman. All in DP were highly talented, but Jon's organ work really made DP the singular band that it was, unique and instantly recognizable.
The best Deep Purple album, heavy rock to the nth degree.
Deep, meaningful and relevant. Always a gent and articulate.
I have said for years now been a purple fan since the 60s no jon no ritchie no purple
Exactly
Brilliant idea to put the Hammond through the Marshall and adapt his voicings to work with the amp. The sexiest organ sound was born!!! And a magnificent player to wield its power. Jon Lord was just fabulous.
What a talent, we are happy as well that you turbo charged your organ with a Marshall. A great album made by great musicians that will endure time. Carry on Jon!
Carry on what? The guy has been dead for 11 years.
@@snakething It is a reference to Ritchie's guitar instrumental dedicated to Jon Lord after he passed away. The song is called "Carry on Jon".
Didn't know that and tottaly misinterpreted the comment. 🍻
@@snakething No problem, check out the instrumental. It is really good.
,,,,, amazing band, amazing music - fact.
LEGENDS!!!
The late great Jon Douglas Lord 👏
This edition of Deep Purple was the last I really followed. I broke in on the original lineup, seeing them live at around 13 or 14. Mark I is still my favourite iteration.
Grazie, Maestro
I get it! I came to it thru' Machine Head and 24 Carat Purple. Speed King, and Child in Time. 'Dueling [Hammonds & Leads]' It was what appealed to me most about Purple,
that the instruments just *had* to *t a l k.* 💜💜💜
Everything really is just birds chorusing.
In Rock was Deep Purples Led Zeppelin2. Both amazing albums that really showed what both bands could do.
,,,,,,, you can't compare - this is like ,,,,, Bach vs Beethoven. Deep Purple is Deep Purple - end of story.
@@woodyjagla328 Of course you can compare!
@messi8921 no, you can't, man, sorry. DP is DP, period. Jimmy Page himself confessed in an interview that 'he couldn't touch the guy', meaning Ritchie.
@@kostasnikolaides1378 calm down dear. Ritchie was technically better then Page but he didn’t have Pages vision. Page lead the way and the rest followed.
Even Blackmore admits he copied page. In Rock was a response to LZ 1 & 2. Stargazer was a response to Kashmir.
Blackmore even hired Gillan after seeing LZ live.
You should read into it alittle more and stop getting so touchy about random people’s opinions.
@@messi8921page was over rated. He was sloppy and all over the place in the late 70s. LZ as a band was over rated as well. There you go.
What song are they playing in that clip?!
It made me realize how similar to MC5 they were at that time. i wonder if they were fans or crossed paths?
Machine Head
The video could have played an In Rock song instead of a Rod Evans era tune. Strange choice to demonstrate the In Rock era
Roger Glover has said that for him the live workouts of Wring that Neck and Mandrake Root are as much a part of the In Rock era of DP as the tracks on the actual album.
Candice make new stuff, new content, just record some things what Ritchie doing today, we watched all these videos millions time here on UA-cam 😂. How is it possible to create an official channel of Rtichie Blackmore and upload these old and copyrighted videos? Are you seriously?😢
Ian Gillian just never impressed me. The rest of the band was awesome.
Ian never impressed you ? …REALLY ? CHILD IN TIME on In Rock and Made in Japan ? ….You must be JOKING….Ian’s voice was OFF the PLANET 🌎 🎉😮
Agreed, Ian's screaming always left me cold - and he's a really average lyricist. Blackmore & Lord was the absolute greatest pairing in rock history. I feel a lot of the Rainbow revolving door was Richie trying to find someone as good as Lord, and that wasn't going to happen, the relationship & understanding they had on stage was incredible.
Gillan was good but he was no Plant or Dio!
@@michaelcottle6270 The interplay between Jon & Ritchie was indeed stellar ....New generations of musicians only have to listen to their mutual question & answer trip improvisations on stuff like Speed King, Wring that Neck, Mandrake Root, Space Truckin', etc. But I think Ian gave something very special to the band myself. He was one of the best vocalists around with his octave range. He wouldn't have been selected for musicals by Tim Rice & Lloyd Webber if he hadn't...Personally I thought Ian sung with gusto & soul....Ritchie was always searching for a keyboard partner like Jon but it never quite gelled the same did it ?....Mickey Lee Soule,,,Tony Carey, David Stone, Don Airey were all great players but there was something that sparked between Ritchie & Jon that created seamless musical tapestry like melodic Alice in Wonderland.
Agreed. Gillan's voice was ruined in the early eighties, never to be good again, and his solo carreer has two average/good albums during the Toolbox era, the rest is pretty forgettable. The House of the Blue Light in the worse Purple album ever, and you can put this in Gillan's account. From the eighties till now, I would prefer Joe Lynn Turner, not to mention Dave and Hughes.
Ahh, the poor man's Led Zeppelin. Thank you, deep purple.
Terrible take, Deep Purple >
@lukefitton7329 Sorry, they just don't stack up together. Zeppelin was more talented with more hits and a bigger impact on rock music.
@@ramdizzle9133 More hits and bigger impact? Absolutely but popularly doesn’t = more talent. Deep Purple were a lot more versatile in terms of the different genres of music they could effectively play, Deep Purple were a far better live band than Led Zeppelin, peak Gillan vocals had more range than Plant and you didn’t have to hear “baby baby baby baby baby baby baby” from DP all the time. Deep Purple started before Led Zeppelin too and didn’t even remotely try to copy them, and their songs such as Speed King helped inspire Thrash Metal bands later on since Deep Purple were way faster than Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. Plus DP just had more longevity and an insane work ethic compared to LZ, they also didn’t plagiarise as often as them.
LZ were awesome, but I still think Deep Purple is a superior band. At least while Jon Lord was in it.
@lukefitton7329 John bonham was better than Ian paice, Robert plant is better than Ian Gillian, jpj is better than Roger glover, I like ritchie better than page but I think Jimmy is a better song writer. Plus, zeppelin never had line-up changes
@@ramdizzle9133 I liked the lineup changes personally, it was a nice change to hear Evans, Coverdale, Bolin, Simper, Airey, Hughes etc in the band as it changed their style without completely getting rid of their signature sound. I agree that Bonham is better than Paice but only slightly, and I also agree that JPJ is a better bassist than Roger Glover though Glover is a good producer. Gillan was much better than Plant though in my opinion and Jon Lord is my favourite musician ever so I’m biased there.
