Deep Purple - The Bird Has Flown

[LordCraigGoldsberry]

one of my favorite songs that "And the address" and "The Shield"

[permafrostist]

ritchie hated the wa,wa pedal.always did

[norris452]

I never knew of the "Mark I" lineup til a couple of years of listening to the "Mark II" stuff... and it was a bit confusing after listening to the Evan/Simper era, but I still liked it immediately. I could hear the transformation taking place for albums yet to come -- -- great stuff here and "Chasing Shadows", "Bird has Flown", and "Why Didn't Rosemary" still spin on my turntable to this day...

[Kynatics]

that riff is hella cool! they just don't make em like this anymore

[spacepatrolman]

@Kynatics thats a jazzy number aint it listen to im never coming back by the searchers

[pierrepierro]

Acording to me, the voice looks like Ozzy's voice

[blacknganga]

@pierrepierro According to me, your comment is rather foolish, given that Purple had by this stage been around for several years, put out two albums; Sabbath hadn't even recorded an album when this album hit the stores.

[artemis897]

My favourit Deep Purple album!

[spacepatrolman]

@artemis897 evrybody thats heavy into deep purple sez that includeing me

[FaroLigure]

Rod Evans & Nick Simper in our hearts :-)

[buyred]

This B-Side is not as good as the original version but still an awesome song.

[spacepatrolman]

@buyred they left out the wah wah pedal track a mistake?

[oberfour]

MK1> MK2

[ConcreteLake]

Is that the "Hendrix chord" (7#9) he's playing here on the main riff?

Also, it sounds like that chord is backwards ...is that some effect he's using or they actually reversed it?

[s2trash]

A song we use to play in our set , just love it

[drogebear]

The first three albums was pretty nice

but evans going :(

[mileswarm]

I love MK I most

Rod and Nick - yeah ,

[master5386]

very old but very awesome

[57250tr]

this was the first version i heard of this, but i recently discovered a second version, possibly the original or an alternate take. anyone know whats up with these?

[misteraytch]

I think Purple did 25 recorded versions of everything they released :) I imagine (as in I speculate) they knew this song was killer, but too long (5:27 or so) to get on AM radio as a single.

I just found a version they did of Speed King called 'Kneel and Pray' that was half as long as Speed King. Again, I speculate it was the demands of radio that made "3 and out" versions seem necessary.

[tpick1]

This was the version released on a single

[cockballsass69]

this song is so heavy duty!! love the organ music in the background. Love the heavy sound...this is my favorite Deep Purple song!

[anonymouslolxD]

The intro sounds like Mandrake root

[spacepatrolman]

Thats what happens when you mix jazz chords and wah wah pedal .

[monkeycrud]

is this a remix? Never heard this version before

[RushAnthem69]

Nahh I'm pretty sure this is the one off the original album, I have their untitled album on vinyl =]

[deuschlan]

It is on the Purple Passages album.....1968 / 69

[monkeycrud]

i have the album too. this is heavier and faster.

[deuschlan]

Yes, I believe your right.....

[Silber7]

as maybe mentioned before, this version is included in the remastered Deep Purple album as "US Single Version"

[SUPERMAN789]

intro is the first heavyrock in history.

[Yurasik]

You can hear the roots of "Nobody Came" here.

[Yurasik]

I mean "No one came" from Fireball.

[HERRBERNSTEIN]

Fucking great song!

[purpelaar]

There is yet no BB sessions album, I think,

Extra tracks came on the REMASTERED DEE P PURPLE CD s and on a BOX SET, a few years ago

MK 1 rules

[marcosigfrido]

Esta fuè la primer rola que escuchè de DEEP PURPLE aquì en San Luis Potosì, Mèxico y me gustò, hace muchos años, hasta el dìa de hoy es uno de mis grupos favoritos de ROCK. Hace unos pocos meses me comprè en la Cd. de Mèxico un paquete original de 3 CDs y un DVD de un concierto en vivo de 2 horas, tiene las mejores rolas de DEEP PURPLE, ahì viene su historia desde que se fundò en 1968.

[tarkus223]

uno de los mejores solos de guitarra de Blackmore y uno de los mejores solos de Jon Lord. Impresionante el final de Ian Paice.

[rmcsoriaz]

[pablovasquez86]

wenaaa suena como de Garage!

[meanstreet81]

this is a great song. enough said.

[toffo20]

Great song with wonderful imagery! Love the very 60s-ish Hammond organ, particularly on the extended version that was the album track. I think this version here is the edited single cut.
