Deep Purple - Space Truckin', Hofstra University '73

[elblancobasura]

"Occupy Hofstra University."

[007Bruceski]

Love the song, love the music, love the ere, I just wonder who the Lady is the camera keeps panning to ?

[tomwise1us]

Jon Lord's performance on keyboards looks a lot like Keith Emerson. I wonder who was copying who.

[oktay455]

[DirtyAssa]

[Adam060756]

The best Deep Purple song ever made in my opinion.

And it has bits of Mandrake Root and Fools added into the mix.

[olly3700]

Now this is kick ass Rock n Roll kiddies. If they could bring the acts of the 60s & 70s to todays media, theyd sell a Billion albums. No one can touch this today. I am very thankfull I was a teenager back then and was around to see it all happen. I just hope more young people catch on to what real Rock was and start enjoying it. Keep on Rockin!!!!!

[spockbella]

Nice; Richie, Ian, Lord; goo ol times. Thanks for uploading. What's up with breaking their musical instruments? Richie went thru 2 guitars!

[Picturemyface]

Groovy

[dialogjapan]

Lovin!

[kyb69]

This song is sick. I was 3 years old when my father teach me about music. Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and The Police. This is my "mantra". Deep Purple I thank YOU for your music. BTW we (me and my old man) saw DP in Rzeszow, Poland this year. Awesome.

[rvhawkeye]

ian,,,,,epic singing and screams

[4threconmarine]

That chick with the long hair and purple top is some dudes grandmother now.

[lavweber]

@4threconmarine Hot Granma!

[oldrsisftw]

@4threconmarine yo fucktard thats my aunt and she died a while back so stfu.

[4threconmarine]

@oldrsisftw And this affects the video how ???? 

[4threconmarine]

@oldrsisftw So sensitive.I guess you go through life waiting to be insulted.AND FUCK YOU.

[oldrsisftw]

@4threconmarine A very ignorant and expected comment, and if your a marine your an insult to the armed forces.

[4threconmarine]

@oldrsisftw You started the fight jackass.Besides,I really think you are full of shit.I doubt if that chick really is your Aunt.You probably just got a hard on for her after watching the video.

[paolopurple]

THEY WERE SO BEAUTIFUL AND FULL OF LIFE...

[Profedrybicki]

And they can still play this...same drummer, bassist and vocals; killer lead guitarist and keyboards - Purple still rule OK.

[ChickenFriedHamMan]

Blackmore for the win

[wreckingyardrebels]

Eat that, Jonas brothers... ahaha

[rickfan1964]

@wreckingyardrebels lol!!! ;) exactly!!

[JackalNChainz]

Incredible. In 73', I was only 13, and had the Machinehead album and blared it nightly. Gillan was about to leave the band in the summer of 73', the break up of the famous Deep Purple MKII. I got the Made in Japan album later, and discovewred weed and tube tops (yummy) the same summer. Man I miss the 70's!!!

[turbovan65]

early 70's version of a rave

[gsrezende]

@turbovan65 that's not a rave, not even a "early 70's version" of one...  that's what we can call GREAT MUSIC!

[busterbone]

my cousin Danny is in the audience-he said they were all wasted too!

[raybin05]

talk sh.t NOW !!!!

[NathanielAndrew100]

How do I find mp3iiiiify to download this song? I was told to google mp3iiiiify.

[Roggiedodgie]

Hofstra University? Geez, did Black Sabbath ever play at Cleveland State? What a weird venue

[avanger4]

Enjoy this masterwork!!!

[cherr3]

ha ha ha, the cameraman was a lucky guy !Ian Gillan was so hot here!

[pbmax]

Thank GOD the cameraman is NOT gay.

[Natokowsky]

bellbottoms, chicks, rock and roll. i dig it.

[BaboonBro]

6:57

[thevacuumable]

man i wish i was there! it seems that the croud is really enjoying it

[balakutak2]

They are truly amazing band!!! Nothing equals the sounds, the power and the magic when they played. Deep Purple delivered its best!

[jamesborg333maya]

Mr. Ian Gillian yeah,yeah ,yeahhhhhhhh

Blast off.

[ameriband1]

I also loved this version of Deep Purple, but you can't take away MKIII. I also think that what was done with David Coverdale was great to. It's when Blackmore left that things were not the same. That said! Deep Purple is one of the best bands to come out of the 70's. I still listen to Made in Japan, sounds like it came out yesterday.......

[HWYTXT]

Captain Caveman

@ 04:04

[prd1ng]

god damn no one knows how to perform these days thats how its done

[gsrezende]

that's right, dude...

[hazybasementmusic]

Deep Purple ruled the roost back in '73. What a lineup. Phenomenal band. Five truly talented individuals that when they played together magic was made. This is a true classic.

[blabblab1212]

Great lead vocalist! They would have been just another rock band without him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[written12]

If you just mean Ian Gillan was indispensable to Deep Purple's sound, I've got no problem with what you say. But I think you're wrong to slight the incredibly hard rocking- and sophisticated- playing of Blackmore, Lord, Glover, and Paice.

[1masarema]

Verdadeiro Purple! O de hoje é PAIA!!!!

[gsrezende]

Hoje e ontem, nao interessa... PURPLE É PURPLE!

[VanTorment]

@1masarema ainda mais sem o Lord...

[igorac79]

@1masarema - Deep Purple só prestou de 68 até 74. Na era Coverdale foi um lixo.

[HofstraAndrew]

That is awesome that Hofstra had a kick-ass rock and roll band like that. I wish they had a quality rock band like that when I was there. Anyone know where at Hofstra this concern was? It looks like the JC Adams Playhouse but I'm not positive.

[bobsmalls]

its def adams, i go to the school there now

[theaals]

Man i wish Hofstra still got awesome musicians like this. Anderson Cooper was pretty sweet, but he's no Deep Purple.

[Stefan0539]

He is simply the best guitarist in rock. Page is a producer, songwriter, showman, arenger; and a man who also can play pretty well. Bit if we only are talking about a creative guitarplayer that people will talk about for the day and years to come; its only the man in black that to pick; he is history, today and tomorrow

[hazybasementmusic]

Absolutely correct. Long lIve the true man in black.

[Antoblackterror]

I have this concert, it's very beautiful!!

[HeroicD23]

check out the video response. its pretty sweet.

[Elux56]

That's what I call musicians !!

[najretuek]

Paice, at this period the best far from the rest..Buddy Rich of Rock...

[maghole]

HAHA I SPOT ACE VENTURA AT 1.18! Great song!

[Scatdiddy]

Ba-dom ba-ba-ba baaa-daaa ba-dom

[Anestetico89]

this is totally awesome O_O

I grown up listening to deep purple

and every different live performance I find is another new emotion *____*

I love them

[fattypancakes101]

fuckin best song of the time period right here

[GaryGee67]

Smokin'rockin'fun.

[binnyman]

Ha !! Lord even uses his old ring modulator !!! I haven't heard that effect for years !!!! And Gillan's voice is SO awesome !!! This was from the years right around when he did "Jesus Christ Superstar" . Oh, my: What a set of pipes ! And who's the babe at 6:45 ???? Diggin' it ! Peace :-)

[Wa3ypx]

I pretty sure she aint wearin a bra, no what I mean?

[binnyman]

Yeah, that's evident at 1:12 !!!

[GreggTedde]

Jon Lord goin' crazy...Very hot stuff! ;)

[sagittariusB3]

Yeah YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­AAAAAAAAARRRRRG

[Stilldrunk85]

[valleyofdeath]

[jamal58012]

I totally agree with u . i wish time can take me back to those golden days..........

[headshot76]

Coolest Gillen ever looked

[Semente200]

And this footage was lost till a few years ago! Amazing!!

[jamal58012]

Are we going to see band liKE THIS AGAIN?

[danitaly]

I'm afraid not... But we can still listen to their records... 100% pure hard rock!!!

[oldschool77]

Shit I played 100 concerts there as a student...HOW FREAKIN COOL!

[GrandiLive]

jon lord il mito

[dmarto1]

SHIT, Hofstra had Deep Purple?? I'm impressed. Much better than Fuel (when I was there, this was the best they could do.)

[BRAKIMOT]

my god!! i wanna travel to the past and see in live, purple power!!

[supadroppa]

Come on,come on,come on,come on.....

Simply the best!

[solarstar03]

One of the best heavy metal bands of all time! Kick ass!!

[DJshooters]

yea!yea!yea!space truckin! this footage rocks!

[mjecpa]

OMG this is just great... Excelente! Viva Deep Purple!

[jonesbeachfeild5]

this is unbelievable. Hofstra needs to get some better converts.. they got deep purple back then ... I am not an undergrad student anymore, but I would love to see them get some good concerts.

[RoknRolJunky]

damn. and all we get in 2007 is fuckin' gym class heroes.

[mssfrank]

MAN THAT KICKS!
