Deep Purple - Wring that neck

[jamalzi]

rock and roll hall of fame its a fucking piece of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

grandmaster flash, madonna, abba seriously, then even lady gaga could be inducted!!!!!!!!

[MarcKitus85]

Best Song Ever.... Hail to the Purple!!!

[z603dauren]

signed for Blackmore!

[thisisyoursurplus]

joey ramone in the drums

[anonymusum]

If I think of all the dummies that are in this fu... hall of fame, I cant believe that Ritchie isnt.

[electricflag]

does anyone know what scales ritchie blackmore plays in this song?

[stewareric]

I can't believe that anyone would compare Deep Purple to The Doors,lol!

[lorileeslove]

great jammimg! thats how real songwriters invent their songs!

[gta879]

WoW je ne savais pas qu'en 1969 ils avaient autant d'expérience O_o

[1qaz2wsx3edc5753]

I have to apologize about making a comparison between Blackmore and Hendrix. As coreyagraph mentioned, this isn't about competition, it's about playing the best you can. Both Hendrix and Blackmore had it going on. Again I'm sorry, because Hendrix is also an influence on my own playing.

[Rikitocker]

Ritchie was the first to do lots of things with rock guitar that changed things forever - he doesn't get the recognition for being the pioneer he really was due to the flaws of his personality. IE he was difficult ... doesn't help the press love you. We know the truth though ...

[Tibbettsify]

ooops 7:54

[Mooseboy08]

I've seen this several times, and it always blows me away. These guys at the top of their game... Lord and Blackmore just shooting genius out of their hands.

[villevn]

This is genius...Lord and Blackmore, you friggin' rule! :o

[aacugna8]

La formación MARK II de DEEP PURLE debe ingresar al Salón de la Fama: Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Lord y Paice.

[aacugna8]

Finalmente creo que gran parte del éxito de Led Zeppelin es puro marketing... ojo que me gustan algunos de sus temas y tengo sus discos pero considero que Deep Purple es superior en todo ámbito. Basta destacar la capacidad impresionante que tiene la banda para improvisar (ahí está el "Made In Japan" [1972] y el "Deep Purple in Concert" [1980]... este último a mi parecer es la obra maestra de Deep Purple) El tiempo premiará a los Purple y me dará la razón. Deep Purple = Emperadores del Rock.

[aacugna8]

Y se me olvidaba nombrar a Mandrake Root y Flight of The Rat... Mi comentario reclama el porqué tanta importancia le dan algunos a los Zeppelin cuando apenas usaban el teclado (los Purple tenían al genio Jon Lord), guitarristicamente Ritchie Blackmore es superior a Jimmy Page, vocalmente Ian Gillan (en su mejor momento) supera a Robert Plant, Roger Glover uno de los cerebros de los Purple ya que toca todos los instrumentos es superior a Jon Paul Jones y Ian Paice también supera a Jon Bonham.

[aacugna8]

¿Porque tanto tiempo se ha hablado de Led Zeppelin si Deep Purple es superior?. Lo único bueno de los Zeppelin es el Led Zeppelin IV, Physical Graffiti y Houses of the Holy pero los Purple son sencillamente superiores en la ejecución y calidad de sus temas baste recordar: Smoke on the Water, Perfect Strangers, The Battle Rages On, Soldier of Fortune, Child in Time, Burn, Anthem, Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming, Highway Star, Lazy, Speed King, Rapture on The Deep... Larga vida a DEEP PURPLE.

[lustyelf]

i think Jon Lord should be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame!

[lilboyful]

now i wanna wring justin beaver's neck

[geromd91]

Ritchie Blackmore reinvented the rock n roll guitars, genius

[thatmuse76]

Is that the Mk I line up? That looks like Rod Evans between Lord's organ and the amps

[repetitivemotion]

@thatmuse76 No, it's Gillan

[SRVfacu95]

Por favor que grosos!!!

[14megamen]

John Lord is the best in the world!!!

[dzre2087]

that's the only time I've ever seen Ritchie use SWEEP picking! Everyone thinks that was invented in the 1980s by Frank Gambale!

[LisaAzulada]

Ritchie Rules!!!!

[antymoss]

LORD IS GENIUS

[bubbelchen2]

Blackmore ist der Beste

[bubbelchen2]

Blackmore ist der Beste.

[orange70383]

Improv genius

[thevinnymaster]

BLACKMORE IS A GUITAR GODÙ

[GokuTheSuperShiz]

Bask in the holy art of god that is Richie Blackmore!!

[Amatteny]

this performance has changed malmsteen life....

[Toottycat]

In 40 years that I've been following Deep Purple I've never seen Ritchie play as tight and fast as on this track. I don't think he's ever excelled himself beyong this break-neck speed precision. Absolutely amazing..., can hardly believe my eyes..., his fingers move as fast as the flutter of a butterfly's wings!

[jordanmacintosh702]

In all honesty, this is thee best guitar performance I have ever witnessed.

[1qaz2wsx3edc5753]

I love this version the best. I'm sorry, but Hendrix has nothing on Blackmore. I think Ritchie outplays Jimi! You can clearly see that in this vid where Ritchie is killing us with his wonderful sweep picking and super fast lead. He is wonderful to listen to here!

[coreyagraph]

@1qaz2wsx3edc5753 rb would be the FIRST to acknowledge jh as his main influence.........as would jb, ect.

everytime i find myself reading these 'opinions', it reminds me of gossip shows on tv with their 'opinion polls'.

none of these musicians think this way. they all influence each other......it isn't a competition.

[R1salvatore]

esecuzione fantastica!!! Grandiosi..

[mikexlong]

just when you think you've got your ass blown off by Ritchie, in comes John who takes the song to yet another level of epicness.

[jmscoopy]

can anyone tab the lick at 9:37? it's so damn fast i cant tell how many notes there are

[folblut]

It is very old so my voice is negative.

[0XN0R]

I wish I was born about 40 years earlier.

[whomagoo1]

One of the best times of my life in was seeing Richie Blackmore and the rest of Deep Purple at the Filmore West Auditorium in San Francisco where he played the most intense music I have ever heard!!! Was anyone there when Alvin Lee and Richie jammed together? It was God's gift to us all. Awsome!!!!!

[anonymouslolxD]

@whomagoo1 Was it recorded? I love Alvin Lee and Blackmore, would love to hear that!

[starshina16]

Ritchie Blackmore is the best!!!

[nolllllexija]

hey that;s before 40 years!!! Richie is fast like devi!!! Those scales!!! Sound of that 335!!! Richie is not human he is some kind of superior being!!!

[Eldryzif]

Please, can someone tell me where can I find this version somewhere in live bootleg?

[arealmate]

@Eldryzif Yes you'll find it on the Deep Purple Hstory Hits And Highlights 68 to 76 DVD

[123steffff]

Simply ENNNNOOOOOOORMOUS !!!!!!!

[diagreen]

THANX LOVE THIS.WHOLE BAND IS PERFECT.LOVE ALL HARD ROCK 70'S

[EricWilliamLee]

I've always thought this was the most tremendous Deep Purple live arrangement ever. Everyone should see this. The BBC '70 version is THE greatest performance, but I haven't found video of it. THIS is the best video capture of this tune that I know of. I want the whole show. Where do I get it?

[Stratonini]

I don't think Ritchie blackmore should be in the rock n roll hall of fame. The rock n roll hall of fame is a joke of the highest order. To be inducted among the ranks of some of the people in it must certainly be some sort of an insult. Blackmore is far to great for the r n r hall of SHAME.

[augustusgloop1234]

"If you think that Ritchie Blackmore should be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame"

The Hall of Fame is a bloody joke. They had Madonna instead of ELP and Abba instead of Whitesnake.

[supperbowl43]

Purple was the only music my dad play, No vocals .

[kodiacwolf]

this had to to be one of purples best jams, i can always re-wtach this over and over

[WhatNeverMind]

sweet and tasty guitar

[Adamboms]

Every time I watch a video of this song I see everyone in the audience sitting down, how in the hell can you stay sitting through something this awesome!? I'd be headbanging in the front

[z603dauren]

It is rather amusing to know that abba and run dmc inducted in a hall of fame and deep purple is not inducted there!)))))

[jhump2431]

time to go get a 335

[chupathingy99]

@jhump2431 Screw the 335, I want a Hammond C3.

[jhump2431]

@chupathingy99 ha yeah odly enough my friends grandma has one in her giant living room if she ever gets rid of it ill hit you up

[hungerinamerica]

@jhump2431, The great Alvin Lee also plays a 335.

[jhump2431]

@hungerinamerica ohh yeah I know, I have some of ten years afters lps, he is fast as well his 335 had 3 pickups right ?

[AlmightySarlac]

An absolutely dynamite performance that really goes to illustrate just what brilliant musicians Blackwood, Lord and Paice were at this period in time, and how well they played together as a band. It's a real shame that there isn't a better recording of this available to buy, the only one I've been able to find is on the DVD 'History, Hits & Highlights' and the picture and sound quality are really poor unfortunately.

[anonymouslolxD]

2 people dislike this video? WTF

[eveningtsar]

If Blackmore isn't already in the r&r Hall of Fame, then it's not worth being in the Hall of Fame. . .

[Behaltihn]

The Gods of improvisation!!!

[CWF142]

John Lord is one of the sickest organ players ever. In my opinion he was essential in giving Deep Purple their signature sound.

[Jannem83]

@CWF142

The Doors already used the sound.

[anonymusum]

@CWF142

And thats why Purple didnt develop since lets say Machine Head cause JL was to lazy to practice and made no progressions at all.

[BiffChunksteak]

@anonymusum love truthisms, do you? I got one, too: Machine Head is hard to top because it was the album on which several exceptionally talented and equally strongminded musicians managed to reach the top of their abilities while remaining to work as a team for the last time. When Lord and Blackmore packed up their egos and ventured on, they kept evolving as musicians, hence the big difference between their non-DP-work and the Purple catalog. Lazy? You don't get where Lord is by slacking off.

[anonymusum]

@BiffChunksteak

As a classical pianist I just can´t help lmao - I could give him some lessons - especially in discipline and avoiding laziness - and that´s another "truth": if you know one JL solo you know them all.

[BiffChunksteak]

@anonymusum By all means, do. And don't hesitate to keep us posted about how you, as a classical pianist (whatever that is) used your special and superior skills of self control to bring that slouch Lord onto your level of excellence. He won't be performing for at least a year (laziness, you said it), so I'm sure you'll find the time for such noble task.

[praetorianus72]

@BiffChunksteak Eh,eh,eh. The big difference between their non-DP-work and the purple catalog. The difference is Rainbow with Ronnie and Ritchie on top. Better than DP for me

[TheRijir]

@CWF142 LORD IS AMAZING,BUT RITCHIE IS DRIVIN FORCE OF PURPLE,AND WITHOUT HIM AND HIS SOUND,PURPLE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE BEST BAND EVER

[Siriusblck3]

Just one word, Blackmore

[shredmaster100]

amazing ritchies pulling out all the stops here sweep picking arpeggios and shredding faster than anyone back then dreamed of and to top it off hes using a gibson 335 normlly a jazz guitar but he turns it into something else genius

[lifeson46]

@shredmaster100 his playing back then was incredible. I dont think he played as well in his later rainbow years

[bklyncosanostra]

ive heard thousand s n thousands of guitar solos from thousands n thousands of gutarists, but this just blew my fuckin mind, I need a drink

[aligatorsandwitch72]

Wait a fucking second, this was in 1969?

I used to think that Steve Morse was the inventor of shred guitar.... Nope its Richie Blackmore.

[Noseheros]

@aligatorsandwitch72 He also did fusion of like rock, jazz and classical way before most guys even thought about it...like classical music fused with rock? Ritchie Blackmore's idea hahaha yngwie had nothing to do with that lol

[metalskroll]

@aligatorsandwitch72 Steve Morse? Are you being sarcastic??? 

[helentjes]

does anyone also think ritchie plays to much notes?

[levediagyermeke]

Ritchie ! On which planet you was born man ?

[bematrix63]

masters of the entire rock music history..

thats it

[eliisciclunaaaa]

OMG. Ritchie Blackmore is amaaaazing

[flyingwhitetiger135]

GODS ON EARTH

[MLennholm]

Anyone know what the classical piece Lord plays at 7:00 is? I'ts very familiar to me and I can play it on guitar but strangely I've never figured out which composer it is.

[Siriusblck3]

sounds like a fugue

[UnserMauszeigerGmbH]

@MLennholm It's called "La Campanella" and is written by the german composer Franz Liszt.

[MLennholm]

@UnserMauszeigerGmbH Oh, thank you very much!

[patratm]

@UnserMauszeigerGmbH Franz Liszt was a Hungarian virtuoso pianist and La campanella is from Paganini.

[jojothepojo]

That was a great night to remember in Bilzen (Belgium) in 1969! A lot of fun to...

[anonymouslolxD]

you were there?

[xxbassdemonxx]

man, I love blackmore, but it must be hard for lord for when they do trade offs and such for solos. I mean, blackmore's style doesn't really link the two together.  There's so much improve going on, its pretty nuts. haha DP forever!

[ThePaulStaRR]

DEEP PURPLE FOR EVER

[SonofJaphet]

The original rock shredder

[DaveGuilmour]

I don't care he didn't get along with other band members, Ritchie is awesome

[malmsteenfan]

lots of people saying: "listen to steve morse, what a beautiful chromatic, yazz-influenced guitar he is playing..." so I say: look to this!!! this is nearer to yazz as morse with his "everytime myxolydian-chromatical diddliddiddlidy!!

[snubbs741]

seriously who the hell cares whether blackmore is in the hall of fame or not?

the hall is a joke they inducted madonna before jeff beck and prince before sabbath

the people that matter already know that blackmore is a badass motherfucker

right?

[sumn3r]

Yeah I agree, these awards are full of shit. It's just a popularity contest. Blackmore can fucking shred regardless if he's in a Hall of Bullshit or not.

Great song tho. I always saw this one as the "first" Lazy.

[MrBeethoven123]

@snubbs741

You`re "Spot-On" best answer ever.....I agree with you all the way.....

That "hall of "F-ing hall of fame" ???? Trow it to the moon or something......

[60spastlife]

@snubbs741 Right on! Those bastards dont know rock'n'roll from a hole in the ground. It's getting to where the fact that your fave band is NOT in there is something to be proud of!

[TheUdyu]

@snubbs741 that's really right...

[Kynatics]

@snubbs741 100% true, bro.

[blackmore9]

@snubbs741 ...Yeah! You're right!!! Blackmore is GOD!!!

Greetings from Mexico City....

[chupathingy99]

I wanna be Jon Lord when I grow up.

[jmastersherm1]

La Maestro Blackmore rules supreme!

[perplexedone]

i thought he was going to do some major tapping at 5:05

[MrGysbertiHodenpyl]

Ritchie is so much better than anyone else at this time and anyone that would come for a long time and I'm pretty sure only a handful of people realize.

[zefurioustube]

So here it is the proof that RB was doing sweeps before anybody else in rock, 1969 amazing, and on a ES-335 of all guitars

[squewer802]

les paul actual did sweeps. theres a vid on utube of him with whats her name and he sweeps.

[EstoyAtrasTuyo]

jajajajaj

the blackmore's face!

00:52

[squewer802]

i hate the audience. they are just sitting around. id be going crazy

[martinjp1958]

Probably the most exciting rock guitarist I've ever heard - from any era. There's complexity in the ferocity - and a good helping of [psychedelic style] jazz. This bit went missing from rock for too long.

[Ouroboros010110]

FUCKING GREAT!!!

[flyingwhitetiger135]

GODS ON EARTH

[drde17547]

Como me cuesta trabajo improvisar esa canción ya que esta en, bueno yo la toco en sol menor pentatonico. Ese sweep picking es melodioso, me encanta esta versión

[EstoyAtrasTuyo]

ritchie es una bestia

[EstoyAtrasTuyo]

estaba jimi hendrix con ritchie blackmore conversando, llego eric clapton y no lo pescaron xD

[Ouroboros010110]

What i need in live is:Music of Deep Purple,a couple of beers,I nice sigaret,And my guitar, and YOUTUBE,to watch this awesome vid!

The only thing that matters for me in life.

PEACE!

[benchmat]

Blackmore the greatest of all time,

Alvin Lee coming as second best during 69, check out "I'm going home " from the woodstock vid........Peace! and please forget ab iout RRHF they totally suck big time and tonedeaf i suppose.

[eftstraaga]

You know what you are talking about ! Ritchie and Alvin are the best.

[Swediel93]

Lord of the hammond...

[AlmightySarlac]

Absolutely fucking right, well put

[dagamelord12]

Richie could sure play back then..way better than Clapton or Page i would say

[avp010994]

So would he

[renevillalonborras]

richie blackmore es el mejor.

el organo se lo intenta pero no llega al nivel de richie...

[Sojic82]

Thank you Ritchie... :-))))

[AlmightySarlac]

I disagree wholeheartedly.

[anonymusum]

OK - then listen to this solo and his solos 30 years later - he didn´t develop a bit. It´s still the same. Poor result of so many years.

[tibyv8]

Fuck the R N' R Hall of Fame!!! Deep Purple can shit from high altitude on this "piss stain". Here you have the proof. All the respect for the bands inducted, all the respect for the idea, but itself it's just a bunch of cocksucking faggots!

P.S.: Ritchie Blackmore is a genius, and it's one of the heroes of Rock N' Roll

[Ouroboros010110]

I agree!

[Twistchawa]

Bearing the time frame in mind, this is probably the most impressive demonstration of rock guitar playing to be found on the net. Pretty damn awesome.

[mikexlong]

@Twistchawa this and johnny winter.

[roryblackmore]

NOBODY in the history of ROCK plays a guitar like this guy, NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY

[ReverendoBr]

@roryblackmore what about j page?

[roryblackmore]

@ReverendoBr seriously, no chance!!!!

[maidenmetalhead666]

@roryblackmore Dude learn something about music Jimmy Page makes Blackmore look like a little kid



[roryblackmore]

@maidenmetalhead666 Your right!!! 40 years of playing, many worn strats, I need to just give it up!!!!!!! Thank You

[Whackooyzero]

@maidenmetalhead666 How?

[lifeson46]

@maidenmetalhead666 pissed my pants laughing, blackmore can wipe the floor with page

[turquoisetandem]

@roryblackmore

I concur!

Let us not forgot the monstrous, jazz based swing of Ian Paice either.

[bornonfriday13]

eine monströse mindblowing-faraway gruppe/band...

[jmsbk12345]

I love Ritchie's playing but Hendrix was without any doubt the greatest improviser of them all. Blackmore repeated many of his lines over and over again but Jimi never did. Jimi was a genius and his musical head and imagination were second to none. Even Ritchie agreed that Hendrix was above all others.

[dapunkof1975]

Please...

[AlmightySarlac]

Everyone keeps harping on about Ritchie Blackmore, but there's some fucking awesome drumming and rock keyboard in this track. I love Zeppelin, but one thing that really sets Deep Purple apart for me is John Lord's Hammond improv.

[yeeeeyoooo]

damn blackmore... God of gods. I love hendrix but he sucks compared to blackmore ahah. Blackmore is god. Who could play like that in 69' ?

[chikisan]

nadie , solo el

[Ouroboros010110]

from this kind of style

[Ouroboros010110]

As the mather a fact!This is where it al came from.If you wanna learn to play the guitar,you need to lea

[iantel]

Damn Ritchie's technique. That the reason Gillan said bout Ritchie " Amazing Technician"

This i believe is the first time ever" the shred technique" was born n Yngwie never see this record. Agree?

[jaganjacfan]

hez where is this shoot from,is there child in time in this place?

[MG94707]

This really is some hot shit for 1969. Great jazzy playing from Blackmore. Guys got some skills.

[Stratonini]

Hendrix could never touch BLACKMORE.

[maggiemae70]

YEAH OK

[shavethebravedave]

Hendrix' solos fitted in all the songs like I didn't heard it by any other guitarist. Of course Blackmore's a genious (of improvisation), but hendrix improvisations make me feel goosebumps like no other..

[anonymouslolxD]

Agree.

[blackmore21]

Is this NIck Simper or young Glover?

[highnumber13]

Glover, hard to get a clear look at him, but that's definately Gillan standing over the Organ anyway.

[atimbrown]

Glover

[666Vlada666]

1.Ritchie Blackmore

2.Jimmy Page

3 SRV

[filipidp]

jon lord master

[atimbrown]

OH YES!!!!!!!
