Deep Purple - Love Child 1975

[MrAugustus88]

this 1975 masterpiece defines mature progg music.

[livemusicloverLyn]

InMy humble Opinion Ian Paice is the only drummer who can touch Cozy Powell - or should it be Cozy Powell is the only drummer who could touch Ian Paice, for sure they're both greatly under rated and under valued for their power, technique and contribution to music. Yes as already stated what a great line-up!

[massimog1000]

grande glenn, supereroinomane e drogato, ma sempre efficente,voglio tornare ai 70"

[Gairlochan]

I wish Glenn and David had stayed with them for ever. They were the best! I like the other stuff too, but not as much … Glenn and David are so monumental in their very different ways, and make a magic vocal pair, with David's grunt and Glenn's howling vibrato.

[FlyingJunk]

They are using this riff in the Green Hornet movie apparently.

[jouni74]

Awesome... Paice is animal..

[Cristovam05]

David Coverdale canta muito e deu uma nova cara para o Deep Purple, mas sei que o Ian Gillan é muito bom também.

[etrax2000]

singer looks great.. has a great voice ..band can realy play. but their lyrics are crap

[raiderfanatic76]

@etrax2000 Your crap.

[etrax2000]

@raiderfanatic76 sniff sniff I am crying !

[ricardozinner007]

Simplesmente a melhor formação do Deep Purple.CLASSICA

[pillermaik]

Paice, Lord & Coverdale are amazing, Hughes is ok but the "genius" of Tommy Bolin to me is an uncovered thing... ???

[PrincessWizard]

deep purple is amazing!

[magirecords2004]

Tommy had put sum of his Jazz fusion experiences in the break.Nice!

[Frazzo]

Funk O Rama ... during the break. That's not real Purple and that's why Ritchie bailed on this MkIII line up. They got too far away from the essence of what DP was all about.

Cheers, Frazzo.

[leppardsnake]

@Frazzo depends on what one means by the essence of DP..

if one is to consider MKI "the essence" since they were first, Mk-II was far from the essence of original purple as well

[67pierone]

One of the best Purple song ever....

[plastererneil]

@plastererneil Tommy Bolin, Glenn Hughes... Man, love them, coz these times won't happen again...just enjoy them...

[helcio1960]

Tommy Bolin is a semblance of guitarist!

Do not hold a candle to Ritchie!

Bad choice to replace a legend !

[dockaiser]

@helcio1960

Do you know what your legend is doing today ?

He plays in the early morning breakfast shows for housewives between the weather forecast and health counselling. about the worst shows you can find on German TV

"I'd rather die young than fade away..."

[helcio1960]

@dockaiser I do not care what he does or does not do today.

What matters to me is the legacy he left behind.

So Ritchie is a legend and remembered by millions Bolin is a spider web all lost in an attic.

[acolex2]

Don't suppose you have a copy of Tommy Bolin doing Wild Dogs from the same gig??

[frikinfrank1969]

quite possibly the pinnacle of classic rock metalrock....veryy cool....love new stuff and was like where did this come from...they had something for sure.

[Zeppelin129]

I wrote a song called Love Child. :)

[brendandawna]

this sounds like the version from 'Last Concert in Japan'... a rare release from DP

[leppardsnake]

@brendandawna maybe cause it is from "Last Concert in Japan" ;)

[hovogliadileggere]

this sound is more funkie....tommy bolin's presence! great sound.

[vinnynumbnuts]

rascally song. love the way it grooves.

[bandidosno1]

Like... :D

[kondurperusix]

1 of the best deep purple songs

[LONELION17]

@kondurperusix I agree.

[SuperDuus]

And he played with billy Cobham

[twiggysangelfromhell]

Tommy is God!

[musictranscription]

I like to transcribe this song

[Cupidville]

Great Groove . Great guitar riff. The song also shows off Sir Jon Lord solo skills

[gorgonslave]

life is good

[raiderfanatic76]

what does he say in that last verse?

[shotguy1]

i think deep purple live versions always better than studio versions.....like space truckin....

[smithdsmit]

I never even knew come taste the band existed untel like 5 yrs ago and im 43.I had no idea who tommy bolin was untel then

[shotguy1]

before deep purple tommy bolin played in Zephyr and James Gang and after that, he started he's solo career...

[kaltinor8]

Yeah! Awesome!

[d4rkparadise]

Xvre

[getxjeffreakon]

Love this line up of Deep Purple, hard to find video with Tommy Bolin in it!

[fillyggdawg89]

PAICE IS A MONSTER!!!!!!

3:38

[MrJohnnyDistortion]

@fillyggdawg89 Isn't he?Just an amazing percissionist that doesn' get his due.

[kondurperufive]

epic live version,better than studio version

[impulsoprog]

why coverdale screams so awful in the begenning!?

[TJPRSproductions]

you gotta love that riff

[Zedice]

bolin's pro in this vid bad sound but w/e

[viking181164]

coverdale has had so many line up changes he's an ass to work with

[ratbatblue555]

and so is / was blackmore

[wheelosopher]

Paice and Lord are amazing musicians.....

[shivfloyd]

they should hve stuck with Coverdale

[bessadale]

I agree. But at the time Deep Purple reformed in 1984, market ruled, and the people wanted the Mk2 lineup. Anyway, Coverdale was earning much more money with Whitesnake.

[leppardsnake]

@bessadale true that he was earning a lot with whitesnake.. they sold far more copies than purple could ever dream of..

but he was asked many times to reform deep purple.. but he said no.. so yes, maybe the market wanted it, but coverdale had the chance to turn it down many times before gillan was asked.

[bessadale]

@leppardsnake in 1979 when Ian Paice joined Whitesnake, people thought that David Coverdale wanted to reform Deep Purple under the Whitesnake name. But as time went by and the 80s came, it became clear that people wanted Deep Purple MKII.

[leppardsnake]

@bessadale I suppose you are correct.. but if they wanted mkii why didnt they buy the records?

anyways, it was clear that who ever was in charge asked coverdale many times before.. but yes.. the marked wanted mkii.

[bessadale]

@leppardsnake the people bought the records, and I suppose that the MKII records were selling much more, so the businesspeople concluded that people wanted to see MKII live too.

[myownservant]

man i love this lineup

[LONELION17]

@myownservant The best !!!

[thevincek]

@myownservant

MK4 the Best!!!

[sndrnfrdgbb]

apparte che sembra heartbreaker dei led zeppelin è bella!!!

[greggpiit]

Sembra un brano dei Led Zep -a parte organo e synth- e Coverdale canta con le tonalità di Plant...ma se la cavano tutti più che bene.E comunque l'intero Come Taste The Band è un album straordinario. Bolin non mi ha mai convinto veramente con i DP, meglio nei suoi dischi solisti.

[PantaZampa]

Ciao

Ascoltati "On The Wings Of A Russian Foxbat - Live in California 1976" poi penso (spero) che cambierai parere su Tommy Bolin...Purtroppo, con i suoi problemi di droga e il forte stress dovuto ai giudizi della critica, aveva degli alti e bassi spaventosi (in questo concerto per esempio aveva il braccio sinistro semi-paralizzato per un'iniezione di eroina tagliata male..)

[aalton]

Can barely hear Bolin. They edited him so much on this record. The long beach concerts were much better. I think it was called "on the wings on a Russian fox bat" or something like that. Those bootlegs are great mkIV material. I think it's being re released.

[bassplayingbastard]

Fantastic MK4 performance. Wouldn't expect anything less from them of course. Awesome!

[kentommybolin]

come taste the band have age well. It still sounds great. An all time classic.Sweden love Tommy Bolin and MK

[Drumguy1988]

Only song I like From MK4. Very Deep Purple Like Riff. I'm surprised Bolin could even play the Riff right He was so strung out on Heroine.

[maghole]

Love Child is the song I like the most from mkIV, its great on the record..great riff..but live performances wasnt mkIV especially good at, because hughes and bolin was full of heroin and all that belongs...but a great song!

[birralugano]

Adoro questa canzone. Sporca fino all'inverosimile, il rock all'ennesima potenza. Grandi

[ratbatblue555]

David Coverdale with his Jesus-look.

[wheelosopher]

What a happy band. One was Jesus-singer, another was Jesus-looker. And one Lord of course.

[tubethis400]

Thats funny as F.... Dude

[Breakdancingguru]

i love the person who posted this. if its a guy no homo. haha

[wheelosopher]

1:18 Awesome bass drum triplets. Paice ( not a Bohman ) style.

[pm4013]

ian paice is the best drummer .........

[dockaiser]

Ian Paice did his best drumming with DP MK IV

[dockaiser]

Deep Purple in their prime. Mark IV with Tommy Bolin were the heydays

[pecots2000]

la carica di questo funky-rock è unica al mondo.

[oakiarg]

Fana of being a Ricthie recognize that Mk IV was a great band ...

[MetalThrasher90]

AWESOME!!!

[BigDaddyAEL1964]

Coverdale's voice sounds just like the studio version! Respect...

[oclero]

When Purple gets funky! ;)

[Zionstardust]

The way he says "Love Child" at the beginning makes me tingly.  The brittish accent is the best aphrodisiac. ;p

[lolodrums]

Great job Mr Paice ! as always...not a surprise for sure......best rock drummer ever

[ratbatblue555]

jesus coverdale really had a strong voice back then.

[olutka007]

OMG! He is georgeus! Coverdale is the best! :)

[guitarlawyer75]

Incredibly gorgeous! He is the dream of every straight woman on the planet!

[dockaiser]

Coveredale at his best and DP at their best.

Mark IV was the best

[dulepero]

Yeah, great song, great band and I really like Coverdale on this video. He is just undistructible. Amazing

[JoeyBlade777]

great great song!!!

[Mish3001]

Gotta get that VHS tape, still ain't out on DVD. And yeah, Coverdale does have that Jesus look here. Really like the over the top singing live of the line-up, so entertaining, they are sort of restrained on the studio versions.

[Mystifier122]

Excellent song. Don't hear much about the Mark IV lineup but they were still good.

[alanr5682]

i really love tommy bolin and deep purple mark4. i just dont like the over the top screaming and screeching from both coverdale and hughes. it spoilt the music. fucking awful to listen to.

[rickyon]

Amen!!!

[kogolz]

Hughes gave the band a funky style which they didn't need. Having Hughes backing vocals on Coverdale was a mistake also since that reduced a lot the magic the main singer of a great band should have. And Coverdale didn't need backing vocals. He had a great voice. Lord's keyboard playing was too much extended in every aspect during that era and that wasn't the best if you call yourself a hard rock band.

[talonofthesilverhawk]

couldnt disagree more.  "you keep on moving" says it all.

[HW4X]

Tommy Bolin wasn't a good guitarist..He was e great one

[Firedude1446]

serious? i think he actually sucked! Blackmore was the best!

[PantaZampa]

please..look at Ian's face on 3.42-3.57!!! When he drums,he's possessed!!! =) I love DP Mk 4,Tommy and especially Ian!

[fatpatty23]

awesome!

[hibeeOz]

Come Taste = Purples best Lp right next to Machine Head.

RIP Tommy, imagine what could have been !!!!

[ratbatblue555]

Jesus Coverdale...

[Yonte3]

This is simply amazing! Fantastic band! Have loved this song and all the other songs from this album since i heard it for the first time, over 30 years ago. Mr. Bolin R.I.P

[freedomrider73]

Please see Ritchie Blackmore quote from GUITAR WORLD - FEBRUARY 1991

GW: What did you think of Tommy Bolin when he took your place in Deep Purple, following your '74 departure?

BLACKMORE: I originally heard him on Billy Cobham's Spectrum album, and thought, "Who is this guy?" Then I saw him on television and he looked incredible - like Elvis Presley. I knew he was gonna be big.

When I heard that Purple hired him I thought it was great.

[Lobatis]

Deep Purple is echt cool und das is einfach ein geiles Lied! Deep Purple is 1 grand Band!!!!!!!

[Drumguy1988]

Didn't like Deep Purple Mark 4. Tommy Bolin was not a good guitar player. Probably cause he was Strung up on Heroine most of the time. MK2 was and always will be the best DP line-up BAR NONE.

[girvan123]

Typical. People are so closed minded that way, I thought all the guitarists, singers and keyboardists in Deep Purple were good there's no way of saying which members were the best.

[magirecords2004]

Funky

[halfordsss]

David looks already like a superstar here, compared to the boy from Cal Jam a year earlier.

[TatooVampire]

For people who bag (like those Malcome Dome types) on Deep Purple's post-Burn! stuff, get a life, Dudes!!! Like In Rock wasn't radical compared to the Rod Evans stuff. Like Fireball wasn't experimental compared to In Rock or Machine Head. Stormbringer and Come Taste The Band were excellent progressions that were completely in line with Purple's nature for experimentation. The live performances may have suffered, but musically, they were just as relevant. Deep Purple were/are gods!

[deanstockwellrules]

is that david singing?? it dont look like him.

[Cel111]

Yeah it's him. He looked very cool then!! Great song!!

[bcdruid711]

Yes it's David Coverdale! Glen Hughes is playing the Bass on this tune and not singing.

[Koolchicky107]

never the same w/o blackmore...

[Fedcom]

awesome! is this from the Tommy Bolin era, cuz I've never heard any of his songs b4

[rainbowfan92]

Yes. It's from the Deep Purple album "Come Taste the Band".

[Charm91]

Their best album ever together with Burn!!!

Give your soul to rock and roll!!!

[rainbowfan92]

A lot of people seem to think of the Gillan/Glover lineup as the best but I think the Coverdale/Hughes era is just as good, if not better

[kondurperu3]

love child is one of the best deep purple songs

[firesmell]

ya.can you pls upload drifter.and every song in come taste the band lp

[kondurperu3]

I uploaded the video for drifter already

[firesmell]

thanks

[kondurperu3]

I also uploaded the video for the studio version of love child

[firesmell]

if u can pls upload i need love

[MATTMUDORCK]

Não é por nada não,mas essa música está mais para Led Zepellin do que para Deep Purple.Mesmo assim,merece nota um 9,0.

[scossaetilica2]

mamma mia che ble pezzo!!!

credo che i Deep Purple con Coverdale avevaano un tiro troppo particolare che quasi preferisco alla formazione con Gillan!

[MATTMUDORCK]

Jon Lord está excelente!!!.

[tobey4]

T Bolin died of a drug overdose in 76 shortly after his 2nd solo album Private eyes was released. He also played with the James gang after Joe Walsh left. Also played on Billy Cobhams Spectrum LP. If you like Fusion from the 70's. You are right, he is really doesn't have the original sound like Blackmore, but he did very well under the circumstances. Come taste the band, is an incredible album. But never got any play. This tune is off that album.

[BornInHounslow]

Bolin is good but real Deep Purple music is DP Mark2

[sarasf78]

how did bolin die

[clubninjarock]

As a child of the 80's, the first I heard of Coverdale was Still of the Night. His stuff with DP is supreme. Guzzle Narragensett every night..

[pailhook]

Groovey tune....or was it a funk sound they wanted?

[clubninjarock]

Burn blows Machine Head and Fireball away. Burn is amazing, except for that instumental piece of crap on there. I'm diggin the Bolin stuff too.

[mountain70rock]

YOU SUCK ASSHOLE!!!!!!! tommy is a legend!

[trufa1]

tomy bolin sucks!! Coverdale is good, but is better the fireball and machine head era (ian Gillan, roger Golver)

[aralikaj]

Great,but Ian Gillan is the man.

[poopie1e]

i agree with you.....

[zizalo]

saw them live a couple of years ago, great vocals and everything, but i'm not a very big fan of their new stuff :/

[proust74]

such a coooooooooooooool show!!!

[letwendyin]

that is pretty badass!

[czechrdrocks]

great funky hardrock hymn

[fozzatorrese]

bolin era un tossico......... non era lui l'anima dei deppe purple...era only a guitarist......

[pupski]

classic coverdale!

[CatherineInRock]

CTTB is one of my VERY favourite Purple albums. All MKs are superb!

[proust74]

thats completly true!!! CTTB is really superb.

[TommyBolin75]

Please see Ritchie Blackmore quote from GUITAR WORLD - FEBRUARY 1991

[pegleyjr]

I remember that Blackmore interview, TommyBolin75! I have most of Tommy's Tommy Bolin Archives live CDs--big fan!

[gorrionero]

Not the best Purple...only the best Coverdale

[pegleyjr]

I love all the versions of Deep Purple, but there is that emotional connection to the Bolin version. I will be glad when this is available on DVD.

[kondurperu3]

the whole concert is available in the cs called this time around live tokio 75

[whitesnakeblog]

This is the best Deep Purple!

[k702]

Deep Purple Rises over Japan is a very rare item, and seems to be have been sold only for a very short time

[kondurperu3]

the whole concert is available in the cs called this time around live tokio 75

[heinzpo]

Well, seems that we will never agree in some issues. But that is good, it makes more interesting the conversation.

I asked anyway in other youtube post if this video is actually available for buying, probably not. Sounds that this is taped on german television. Any ideas?

[whitesnakeblog]

Thats a good band, mark IV rocks! Coverdale is GOD!

[ExtremistaRojo]

peolpe like to talk only to say something, but most of the time they say crap. I've been reading and I think most of them are wrong when they talk about Bolin.

To me, he was a great guitar player,and Come taste the band is a great album.

[heinzpo]

It's ridiculous to compare musicians. One must evaluate one musician for his own talens (even he is inspired by another one). I sincerely believe in any case that Bolin's guitar in CTTB is awful. Bolin was a drummer, before beeing a guitar player. His Guitar Playing sounds precisely like he's moving the sticks...I don't like him, but that's my own opinion.

[JWirtel]

There you go.I liked the percussive nature of Bolin's playing. The guy did a hell of a lot in addition to CTTB, and it is worth investigating. He was in a very difficult position following Ritchie.I think CTTB was a worthy effort. All of the Mark 4 guys still defend that album, Bolin's talents and mourn his death. Google the interviews and you'll see.

[xicocamotl]

And Stewart Copeland was a guitar player before being a drummer, and that's probably what makes his style so special, but as you say, it's ridiculous to compare musicians...

[pfazenba]

you are correct

[fdebeuk49er]

Viva ritchie

[huskered62]

fdebeuk49er- BOTH SOLOS of TB's are ESSENTIAL. Used to have a LP of Tommy & Deep Purple called "Deep Purple's Last Concert in Japan". Also, DP's "Come Taste the Band" kicks ass as well!!!

[fdebeuk49er]

John makes the solos, Tommy has taken too much dope again. A sad clip of what once was to be a great band.

Thanx

[kusimati]

Doesn´t get any better than this! Coverdales singing i amazing!!! Tommy Bolin... You got to love the man!!!

[Captainjjb]

MK4 videos are brilliant - mostly for Ian Paice! His drumming on MK3 and Mk4 stuff, live especially, was quite something else.

[thegame666]

R.I.P. Tommy Bolin I've listened tommy bolin's record solo,like savannah woman and he showed he was skillfull to play different things,too bad he were in drugs at that time with purple
