In this solo, Ritchie goes from heavy riffing to blues to classical with such ease. Few guitarists can match such skills, proficiency and musicianship. It's not about who plays the fastest, who can shred. It's about creating a mood, saying something musical. Ritchie is ace among aces.
@@bjornborg056 Totally agree. I have seen him shred and burn up the strings that the so called shredders would be jealous of, then he turns around and plays the most beautiful passages played with great emotion..
@Chris Manzi I have those DVDs. Phenomenal playing. And when Ritchie shreds, the runs are more complicated than shredders of today who play scales, triplets in box patterns. Ritchie does incredible weaving, really complex playing.
You can see the "buddy Rich" influence in Ian paice drumming. tight crisp rolls and fills and explosive movements and cymbal strikes!! One of the best at that time!
I feel this is one of the greatest guitar solo's EVER!!! Love it more today than the first time I heard it as a teen. I Have learned so much by Ritchies playing. He has Been one of my biggest influence for guitar. But I will never even come close. There is only 1 RITCHIE BLACKMOORE
Simply beautiful !!! 1970s and early 80s, the best years for hard rock and heavy metal music !! My father has the original "Made In Japan" vinyl from 1972! A real gem for me !!! Greetings from Italy
My favorite example of this is from the (I think) Granada live show in 1970-ish, during Mandrake Root's han section Ritchie turns back very dramatically and points at Paicey, signaling it's his time. ua-cam.com/video/Iww-YgmNZ2w/v-deo.html at approximately 1' 40''.
I honestly don;t think there is a better guitar player ever IMO. Riffs! fast! Crisp and Clean :-) Been listening to guitarists for many years now, always on you tube listening and thinking about my answer to my question and this decision has always been playing on my mind, Richie Blackmore!!!!
Ritchie was way ahead of his time. Other guitarist like clapton and pagey can’t touch ritchies skills on guitar. What a brilliant technical player. Nobody can improvise like him. Nobody! And I say it , and I’m a big Steve Morse fan!
I think that's a stretch. Page was a studio session player. On par with Ritchie. Everyone has to make their guy the best. How about they were all awesome?
Yes I havent heard alot of deep purple but people tell me about them and ive been listening to Richie now for a little while I've been studying. Clapton for a couple of years can play some of his stuff but I still don't really know how to understand where his heart was not really I usually think zeppelin was on some other planet but purple here is kind of on that platform maybe. Iove alvin lee also but im thinking 10 years after was a different platform also anyway I like what you said about they are or were all just bad to the bone on guitar .!once again I most of the time still like this music compared to newer stuff .
Agree, Ritchie was way ahead of his time. He had some strengths that no others had....but Hendrix,Page, Clapton and Beck also had strenthgs that no others had as well. At their high level, rating the sounds and music these icons produced is "in the ear of the beholder" period! Saying one is the best becomes opinion only! Many guitarists, reviewers and the public say Hendrix was the best rock guitarist of all time. That seems to be the one universal thought.... but even that's an opinion. Musicians do in a way compete, but unlike sports competition, can't really determine a best.
I've seen Deep Purple many times, they are one of my favorite bands. What I really liked about them was no two shows were alike. Ritchie's solos were always different..
Satriani maybe still crying about Blackmore comments ! And he must be face the facts : not always be 100 technique is a good guitar player is more like a robot and copy the Hendrix teeth technique this makes me sick because him and Malmsteen and many more doing the same thing and sometimes I get tired about this technique and this the reason why Blackmore is better than Yngwie and many more maybe Hackett on les Paul is another authentic guitar player . Is not bad copy but sometimes is a lazy thing and Long live to Ritchie Blackmore!!! 🤘🏻
Improvisation. That is what this band is all about. It's not just Ritchie. Ian Price. Jon Lord. You hear they don't play the same way every day. They are very unique band and that is why I love them.
You watch Richie Blackmore improvising. I was very lucky to see him perform live with his first rainbow tour. And I said to myself all those Deep Purple concerts I missed I wish I'd gone to every one of them.
Thank you for so succinctly putting it. I am not a musician I even caused my schoolmates a great deal of time of laughter when I was asked to sing in the classroom by myself anyway,what I'd like to add is that Ritchie plays so accurately and so musically no matter how crazy or fast he is doing it and he is always on pitch too. I think the closest person to him able for such feast is Mr. Shenker of UFO. What say you?
Never knew what that mad bastard Blackmore was going to do next. Utterly compelling to watch. I remember I first heard this when I was about 15 and couldnt believe what I was hearing. Paicey though..... Jeeeeeez, what a fucking brilliant drummer.
Blackmore is my favorite player along with Hendrix and Van Halen. Blackmores playing is really angry yet with a classical bent. Its also really interesting unlike many shreaders that people seem to be in awe of. His minor chords make his playing more moody as well, maybe dark. He also has some seemingly very simple solos that are so well crafted into songs unlike many the typical 1 2 3 solo 4 5 that seem artificial or pushed into songs.
Isso é épico, de uma genialidade de músicos fora de série, realmente são de outro patamar, e é incrível como blackmore, paice e lord se entendem no palco. 🤘🏻
Ritchie entertains his audience. Apparently Tommy Bolin was watching this at home and later commented about Ritchie blowing up his amps and almost setting his britches on fire. The two guitarists met shortly after Tommy got the gig, and Ritchie said Tommy never changed his strings.
Jon Lord and Ritchie were the Masters most responsible for the Sound but all melded together to make great music-I think with Gillan is the most classic awesome sound
This is a Masterpiece of guitar playing! That's why Blackmore is a genius of electric guitar ! Combination of melody and hard playing guitar at the same time with tremendous success
To be honest, my admiration to RB is not his showmanship. But more to his brilliant skills as a songwriter, and producer. His songs and licks are eternal. He seems to have a midas touch in his hands and turns everything into gold!
Not Midas Touch but Magic touch that only but a few possess in a lesser degree the closest being Michael Shenker then Clapton etc...but none with such ease and class as Ritchie
Very true however lyrics are largely lacking in depth. It was predominantly about his showmanship, which easily became boring despite his guitar mastery.
If Guitar Aliens landed on Earth and said (to the government or military) "Take me to your Leader" then I guess they would all go to Ritchie Blackmore's house.
Listening to Richie, I have the same impression as I had when I listened to the young Yngwie for the first time, with Alcatrazz. Amazing, ahead of their time, the top of the game. Nobody could touch these guys
This is actually "You Fool No One" from the album "Burn" with extended parts that include Ritchie Blackmore's "interpretaion" of the blues, "The Mule" and the closing phrases from "Lazy".
@@gregflip5938 yes, it sure is. Also, Ian paice's Drum solo seems to fit perfectly as well as John Lord's. Fantastic keyboard beginning. Made in Europe was a treasure I found when I was 14 in 79. I'm 53 now and still listen to that lp with enthusiasm.
Excellent post! On side note, all my guitar heros happen to play the Fender Stratocaster; Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Johnson and Yngwei Malmsteen. Phenomenal instrument that strat!
Just a Stratocaster thru a Marshall cranked up to 10 for Ritchie back in the day …. nice and clear and can here every note and rub of the strings …. Players now a days have to rely on all sorts of sustainers and delays etc.etc. to achieve their sound which also makes it way easier to make it sound good …. So much harder to make that Stratocaster talk and sing when it's just the guitar and amp …. No cheating for Ritchie Blackmore …. definitely a true Pioneer of Heavy Rock guitar and Deep Purple true Pioneers of Heavy Hard and fast Rock music …. Every Heavy Rock band today exists and has their sound because of Deep Purple..... and of course a mere handfull of other Hard Hitting Heavy Rock Bands from the early 70's like Black Sabbath for example !!!
Ritchie rips one of the best solo's ever and the crowds like who is this guy,even Page said l couldn't touch Ritchie's improv's and Page was one of the best!
Ritchie was really revved up and on form here. He had defied the police who were going to arrest him, if he didn't go on stage earlier than Purple were contracted to appear. He locked himself in his trailer for an hour. They feared the 300,000 out front may riot if they didn't go on. Ritchie only agreed to do the Cal' Jam if they went on after sun down. Ritchie said that Purple pulled out all the stops to upstage Emerson Lake and Palmer, who were on last and had a piano on a riser which spun Keith Emerson upside down ...ha!. I think Purple pulled it off, from the evidence presented here. What a band!
FUN FACT About this concert! There is a video by Ritchie Blackmore a few years back wehere he recalls this concert. He did everything he could to NOT play it! He put the purse demands higher than he thought anyone would pay, he demanded on a PRIVATE dressing room (for himself!), AND going on last, AND only after the sun set! Which, left the concert (300,000 to 400,00 drunk people in the California sun for hours by that time) idle for almost 2 hours! This video proves that who every had the final say, did the right fucking thing!!!! Festivals suck for the artists, however some of the best music ever recorded does come from them!!!!
@@commentnotapproved1604 Yeah... didn't matter though, Cal Jam 74 was the beginning of the end for ELP. Even Emerson's flying piano upside-down couldn't save them from the writing on the wall. They spent way too much effort targeting a niche pretentious fanbase that would be their commercial undoing.
This song was on "Made In Europe," which I bought at age 16 from Rolling Stone Records when it came out. I must have listened to Made in Europe about 1000 times.
Ritchie Blackmore has the most Commanding Tone of all guitarist. You can immediately pick him out of the crowd with one note! First to combine classical, jazz improvisation, never plays the arrangement on the records live, but expands on the basic idea. Marshall Majors have the most powerful but cleaner than later day Marshalls, at 200 watts, the thrust is Incredible.
