This is from BBCs Top of the Pops, Purple appeared on the show 3 times, this is the only performance that exists thanks to the BBC wiping video tape for reuse
'Black Night is a long way from home' and a symbol for the story of the lost son in the bibel, luke chapter 15. I was once alone in black night, then i came home and saw the light.
Paice had played violin in the begining and was a kind of virtusoso on this instrument too. I remember when I was listening him playing Introduction & Rondo Capriccioso by Saint Saens...It was sounding like a true concertist(violin player)!!!What a good and fertilize times for music - 1960-1975!.
everything about this clip was heavenly...except the end being cut off. :( i know you did your best though, if you'd had it, you would have posted it, i'm sure. :) still a great piece of footage. thanks.
Saw them in Maryland right before Jon stopped touring. They were on the bill with the Scorpions . We were surprised DP played first. They fed off the DP crowd and we fed off of them. After they finished that place emptied out like a bomb went off. The Scorpions played to a hand full of people. What were the promoters thinking?
ha ha ritchies just fucking about on the guitar i think thats because top of the pops wouldnt let them play their music live they had to mime like most bands that went on that show anyway still better than watching some rapper with his grandmas jewllery on talking about popping a cap in your ass music today is dead the only good rock music today isnt rock its metal bands like trivium metallica and iron maiden kick ass
You gotta check out "She's Mine" recorded by the Liverpool Five in 1965 to hear the same bass riff used here. It's on Yu Tube and of course it was even BEFORE the Blues Magoos " You Aint Seen Nothing Yet".However this DP version is still fabulous .
@crimsoncarcas The Musicians Union in the UK insisted that artist couldn't go on and mime to their record, so they had the options of; to play live in the TV studio, mime while a studio band played the song for them or record a new version under the control of the musicians union and mime along with it on the show. Purple did the later hence it sounding different to the record.
i guess deep purple sucks live...which is why the asshole producers of this show decided to make them play to a studio recording...GOD i hate that! lets just hear them l;ive they beat themselves in studio any day!
Geez...Making these guys play along to a recording is like cutting out a persons taste-buds right before you give them milk & cookies....what a friggin BORE !!!
@narutoisashit - what a stupid words...I'm gay and I play rock since I was 13 y.o. I've seen them two times, and there's no one relation in between being gay and love this kind of music or other... Your words makes me think u r worry to show how "macho" u r, and this means that u r not so sure of urself... (it's a simply psychological meaning that u could find on each book of psychology)...as more u show something as more u r unsure of that in ur own. Enjoy music and relax...
@ludwig6660 agree with you... musical taste has nothing to do with sexual orientation... I know girls who love Led Zep and Black Sabbath, and I know a whole bunch of perfectly straight guys who honestly think that Justin Bieber and Britney Spears are the top of contemporary music...
@narutoisashit yeah,but some people keep it goin,check out witchcraft from sweden,brutus from norway,wolfmother,uncle acid and the deadbeats,sheepdogs
I think that all men should have long, dark hair and wear flat-fronted trousers which show off their bulge, us females like that kind of thing. Great song as well btw.
what i was saying is that this is soo beneath them. they look boring because theyr BORED. who wouldnt be having to playback on TV instead of playing the song for real.
@leebegeebee Bored Shitless was the fashion then - That and trying to look cool when your jeans were too tight !! But mostly lots of fun and HAIR !! Some of us don't have much hair nowadays but fortunately that is the fashion !!
