I am a huge fan of John Chee and the Crazy Elephant bar. That Gillian fellow is pretty good, also. :-). This clip is priceless. Whenever I get to Singapore, the first night I hit the C.E. Bar and sing with John and the band. Love those guys.
Crazy Elephant is a great blues place in Clark Quay in Singapore. The guy you can see to the right of Ian (left looking at the screen) is s shy great blues guitarist named John Chen. Him and his band have made that place a great venue for bluesin and jammin.
If you look VERY closely at some of the pics on the inner sleeve of "Machine Head", you'll se Gillan with Ritchie's strat in hand. Maybe this is the reason behind their famous 30+ year long falling out? ;-)
Anyone else with a comment? I am sharing this rare piece cause it wasn't on youtube before, and it's a good first upload, may as well start with the goods.
Some day I'm going to turn this page all out with a huge variety of great music and educational favorites. I will start with my Gillan's Inn B.C. clips and hopefully build a library after that. My channel awaits me...

The guitar that Ian is using, it seems the same that Ritchie used in the early days of Deep Purple, or am I wrong?

u'r right, it's a Gibson ES-335. Ritchie used it till 1969 or 1970, i think

Yes...interesting video!
It's hard to make out Gillan's guitar. It looks to be a Gibson ES-335 of the type like Blackmore's from the early days. Was this his own instrument?
