Purple is still great. Just heard them 8 months ago with "songs that built rock". Gillan was in amazing vocal form, the best I`ve heard from him in many years. The rest of the band played superbly. Bananas is one of Purples best albums. Deep Purple is still Deep Purple. I`m sure Jon Lord would agree. R.I.P., Jon, the best rock organist ever and a wonderful person.
Jon Lord most often played a specially customised Hammond C-3. Heavy beast for the crew to move lol. I grew up learning on an X77 and it didn't like being moved lol. Cheers.
Setlist: • Highway Star • Nobody’s Home • Strange Kind of Woman • A Gyspsy’s Kiss • Perfect Strangers • Under The Gun • Lazy • Knocking At Your Back Door • Solos • Space Truckin’ • Woman From Tokyo • Black Night • Smoke On The Water
Watching this footage, I still marvel over the fact that 'Perfect Strangers' was basically a reunion album. Can anyone remember the last "reunion" album that was worth anything more than the vinyl it was pressed on? Not me! Despite the complaints about Ian's voice, I think he held it together pretty well here. Thank you for posting!
the greatest band of all time, MKII line-up at its best, reunion of 1984, which led to the release of another classic album perfect strangers. Paice, Lord, Blackmore, Gillan and Glover !!! They're The Masters... The most underrated band of all time !!! nobody can come close to deep purple and their live performances... ritchie's technique is ineffably awesome !!!
Great job at filming. Sound is pretty good too! One of my all time favorite bands w/ original lineup Awesome. One of the first concerts I went to back in "72. Thankx for the wonderfull memories!
Thank you for sharing, i saw Them in 1987 in Ahoy Rotterdam in the Netherlands, one of my first concerts and a good memory. Jon Lord was very great on the organ!

J'y étais ! Merci beaucoup d'avoir posté cette vidéo.
Please don't be too tough on Ian's vocals. Don't forget that by this time (1985) he was a forty year old and singing this repertoire is going to test anyone. I should know. I sing lead vocals in a Deep Purple tribute band and nothing gave me more respect for his voice than trying to sing these songs. I can't imagine fronting up night after night to sing this stuff.
I get it, I had to cover Ozzy and Gillian. I wouldn't criticize a vocalist who is singing that kind of music or any other. Problem is, these days kids are used to vocal guide tracks and synching. They think that's how people sound live! Respect bruh!
It's great seeing this on here! I saw Deep Purple in 1993 (yes, the Mark 2 version), and they put on a slamming live show! It's a shame that Jon ain't with us no more, but his part in Deep Purple will not be forgotten!
Greatest 1st concert @ 15, never to forget... Had to see the show again, as if I forgot. It was a hell of a reality check. Miss the old Arena shows!!!!
Couldn't agree with you more. I have seen Deep Purple 4 times in my life. The first time was when they opened for Rod Stuart and the Faces in 1970 and they blew the place apart! Very sad to hear about Jon Lord passing and I don't care what anyone says, Blackmore is the greatest rock guitarist ever!
Que formação clássica!! valeu Thijs3FM por ter enviado essa preciosidade!!show show..... a banda totalmente afinada..mais um grande show no rockpalast.
Thank you so much, great sound quality and picture of the original WDR broadcast. When Rockpalast broadcasted this originally in 1985 they made us wait til about 2 am because that dwarf Prince was also live in concert. I was a little dissapointed about the state of Gillan's voice back then, but never mind eh? I think he ruined it on that notorious Black Sabbath Born Again Tour where he did a great job.
Thank you very much for putting this concert in one piece. Never had the chance to watch it. I think the way it was recorded contributed with Gillan's "bad" night. There's something not quite right with the sound overall. Both channels seemed to be unbalanced and some sounds falling between them, thus fading. Anyway, this is a great concert with something for everyone. DP had this virtue of playing each gig in a different way, like our fingerprints. A true kick ass rock band!!
grandisimo grupo, esta alineación fué lo mejor de la banda, recuerdo que estuve a la espera del disco luego de que se anunció la reunión, recuerdo como los primeros segundos de knocking at your back door fueron muy emotivos.
Inspite of that what I wrote here - have a look on the video with Rainbow in Munich live 1977, a great Blackmore here now, strong playing with full power. I think he had his best times in the 70´s and in the first Rainbow years he really showed who the master is.
Don't have the shirt anymore, but I saw them on the same tour in Worcester, MA in the fall of 84 (I think). It was my second concert ever. I was 15. Good times. Rock on!
R.I.P. Jon Lord !!! One of the trio of masters has sadly left... There will be nothing better than the Blackmore, Lord, Paice combination.... You'll be missed Jon.
And yet even on a bad night, he sounds so much better than so many singers...and without auto-tune and other effects,,,wish I could sound half as good as he does here!
В 81 году из - за них бросил музыку и закончил политех. Играл в самодеятельных ВИА, был художественным руководителем, пригласили в ленинградскую филармонию. Художник Володя Зарочинцев принёс их записи на бобинах - прослушал все 3 часа в музыкалке и всё. Понял: снять можно, но сыграть лучше пёпла нельзя
The band stopped for two maybe three nights in Dallas Tx on this tour(Reunion Arena). They returned latter in the tour to headline the 85 Texas World Music Festival (Cotton Bowl) I saw the Cotton Bowl show...loved the band, but Jon Lord was the stand out. He used his old set up and was ROCKIN that consol BACK and FORTH ...never fell over. far well to a Master.
Excellent upload, thanks so much :) Yes, maybe Ian had one of his notorious colds again and Blackers in a sort of mood, even on a 80% they were bloody marvellous. I think Ian did a lot of damage to his otherwise still good voice while screaming his heart out on the Born Again Black Sabbath tour the year before. Still, Purple rules ;)
I wore through two vhs tapes of this show and saw them twice on this tour...this is the quintisential lineup. I love Mk3 era as well...but this IS Deep Purple.
Saw Deep Purple that summer in Wisconsin in the 10th row. Ritchie and Jon were amazing as always and the rest were on fire too. Gillan's voice was good when I saw them but the show must go on regardless.
I was there and I lost 10% of auditions. Because I was closed to Jon of the left of the stage ! What a fantastic night. Maybe the last tour with a really friendly band. I think they must stop to continue with the name of Deep Purple. Ritchie and Jon have left. Keep the memory safe please
WOOOOWWWW. Amazing download. Saw them live in Germany in 1971. Very, VERY stoned times were that I can tell you........we always made 'competitions' with GI's who could smoke some more dope. HAHAHHA. = With love from St. Petersburg / Russia, Paul
Deep Purple its not my Generation but this Band is the Godfather of Rock.
I love it
Jon Lord. Keyboard master. A rock legend, Him and Ritchie. The best keys guitar combination ever?
Yes, I guess, it's the best Keys Guitar Combination, FOREVER
ABSOLUTELY!!
yes they were, are and will be
Yes!
Ritchie and Jon most definitely, but there were moments with Tommy Bolin which were electrifying.
R.I:P Jon Lord. The greatest keyborder of the world passed away and now he is playing his serenades in heaven.
Purple is still great. Just heard them 8 months ago with "songs that built rock". Gillan was in amazing vocal form, the best I`ve heard from him in many years. The rest of the band played superbly. Bananas is one of Purples best albums. Deep Purple is still Deep Purple. I`m sure Jon Lord would agree. R.I.P., Jon, the best rock organist ever and a wonderful person.
Great Work, Jon Lord!
You were the world's best Keyboardist/ Hammond C3 Player and will always be it, forever
R.I.P. Jon
I agree with you. This man formed Purple back in the day so in my opinion they were not appreciated as much as they should have been
B3 or C3?
Jon Lord most often played a specially customised Hammond C-3. Heavy beast for the crew to move lol. I grew up learning on an X77 and it didn't like being moved lol. Cheers.
according to Ronnie Woods brother Art ,they carried it on and off Ferries to gigs 1962-66
One of the greatest group of all time. I'm an 70s and 80s rocker the best years ever.
YOU are right --Deep Purple is simply great and i will love them till i die . The whole band is amazing .

i agree i saw Ian perform on the perfect strangers tour in the 80's been a teenager i loved!
"Deep Purple" is playing freely on the rock music. A fabulous cocktail of rock, classical music and blues !!!
It's great seeing this on here! I saw Deep Purple in 1993 (yes, the Mark 2 version), and they put on a slamming live show! It's a shame that Jon ain't with us no more, but his part in Deep Purple will not be forgotten!
Thanks man I hadn't seen it since 30 years (and a half lol)
thanks, good document!
A reunion but you really can't go back. Still this version of the band will always be the best.
du grand deep purple on sans lasse pas
The band was on fire! Too bad Gillan was ill and couldn't deliver but hey, he tried! Well done, lads.
Greatest 1st concert @ 15, never to forget... Had to see the show again, as if I forgot. It was a hell of a reality check. Miss the old Arena shows!!!!
Blackmore smiles- Wow!
que lindas temporadas!!!!;yo estaba en el 86 en nürnberg!!!!!! DEEP PURPLE PARA SIEMPRE
Gracias x el video.
I am so glad I got to see this tour.
Personally darn glad these guys have been part of my life in music and past imperfect is what still makes it great!
Deep Purple, one of mega groups and me adored, my delight and low bow............
Couldn't agree with you more. I have seen Deep Purple 4 times in my life. The first time was when they opened for Rod Stuart and the Faces in 1970 and they blew the place apart! Very sad to hear about Jon Lord passing and I don't care what anyone says, Blackmore is the greatest rock guitarist ever!
Que formação clássica!! valeu Thijs3FM por ter enviado essa preciosidade!!show show.....

You will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace, dear Jon.....

Ian Gillans throat was probably destroyed after that kind of mega-singing^) THX for uploading this great concert!
One of the best ever!!!
My favorite band.

Don't have the shirt anymore, but I saw them on the same tour in Worcester, MA in the fall of 84 (I think). It was my second concert ever. I was 15. Good times. Rock on!
Legendary Quintessential Hard Rock Group-each member a master at his craft!!!
R.I.P. Jon Lord !!! One of the trio of masters has sadly left... There will be nothing better than the Blackmore, Lord, Paice combination.... You'll be missed Jon.
And yet even on a bad night, he sounds so much better than so many singers...and without auto-tune and other effects,,,wish I could sound half as good as he does here!

Ian has no cold he never sounds like the album bad live singer great band studio . Machine Head One of The Greatest Albums of All Time Thank You
+John Leclair So... Made in Japan is bad live performance?
+John Leclair I make you right on that one, how ever, the best LP Deep Purple came out with was Deep Purple In Rock, 69
Ian has cold, Deep Purple was one of very few bands that could play live. Than You ;)
