God of Guitar is Ritchie Blackmore !

It's not every day you hear Deep Purple singing 'Knees Up Mother Brown' (@5:04)! It seems 'Running Bear' was a folk song too far for RItchie, though, as he runs off @5:47. Ian Gillan seems to be looking to see where Ritchie has gone @6:34, although he soon re-emerges once Jon Lord starts playing the 'Black Night' riff on the piano. And at the end of the clip, you can hear Gillan introducing a "Swiss folk song" - the video for which is also here on YouTube!
