Deep Purple - Live Rockpalast - 1985 - (Palais Omnisport Paris) - Full

[DELHOOLY]

Blackmore is kinda struggling here... wow

[shredmaster100]

this has got to be deep purples worst concert thanks for uploading the video but seriously blackmores playing sucks here same as gillans singing even the last deep purple concert from the 1993 concert come hell or high water was better than this deep purple were always best in the 70,s in my opinion

[propilanz]

blackmore is a great guitar player but on this concert his solos are horrible

[yellingelk]

Blackmore's just playing a bunch of shit, totally hogging the show... Gillan's absolutely dreadful.. you've got to feel sorry for him. What was the point of this period?

[pipatijuana1991]

Highway star I love it I need it awwwwwwwwwwwyeaaaaahhhh!

[LiteracyLabyrinth2]

27:00 Perfect Strangers! LOVE IT

[LiteracyLabyrinth2]

[icaroalfa]

super concert i love deep purple.

[overmatik]

Perfect Strangers is in my top five Deep Purple albums ever. Thanks for this historic concert!

[jczother]

Greatest 1st concert @ 15, never to forget... Had to see the show again, as if I forgot. It was a hell of a reality check. Miss the old Arena shows!!!!

[GuiFigueiredoA]

How can Deep Purple be so FREAKING good? Their keyboard solos are fantastic.

[vickiblue1]

UNA DE LAS MEJORES BANDA !!!!!!!!!!

[aacugna8]

El INGENIERO DE SONIDO es pésimo (The sound engineer is very bad).

[kiss742000]

Not sure about an EPIC FAIL... When I was in 11th grade in 86 they sold out everwhere in the US,

[azisgagap1]

nice opening from jon ``the beast`` lord !!!!!!!!

[TheRattleSnake93]

I know Gillan lost his voice after recording the album 'Mr Universe' with his band, such a shame...but he still continued to do great albums with Purple

[9taita]

set list???

[KreatorTheGreat]

I suffer watching how Gillan is suffering...

[AZEIDJSKSQMM]

The return of Deep Purple? EPIC FAIL !

[clouds882]

superb! thanks for this...merry xmas all dp fans!

[staernpeder]

R Blackmore was a fantastic guitarist, but not here! Sometimes he makes more noise than he plays the guitar...

Listen to Made In Japan and hear the REAL Blackmore!!

[astralic888]

@staernpeder you shut up man!

[staernpeder]

@astralic888 Thanks my friend, many thanks!

[Starpass]

@astralic888 Let's all shut up and watch the show. lol

[MeteoraXV]

@staernpeder I hear ya man his guitar sounds pretty noisy here

[JohnnySixString420]

Nice! Thanks for putting this up. I was lucky enough to see them that year in San Antonio,TX.

[Kyoshomies]

Gillan wasn't in shape that day :D

[espanol1974]

Deep Purple rocks, very good concert. Thx guys

[ACHAQUEZ]

simple mente espectacular,gracias por poner estos conciertos completos,

[ThePaulidis]

WOOOOWWWW. Amazing download. Saw them live in Germany in 1971. Very, VERY stoned times were that I can tell you........we always made 'competitions' with GI's who could smoke some more dope. HAHAHHA. = With love from St. Petersburg / Russia, Paul

[RaerY1959]

the 'voice' of Godzilla(Intro) was played by Jimi Hendrix!

[ratbatblu]

I wore through two vhs tapes of this show and saw them twice on this tour...this is the quintisential lineup. I love Mk3 era as well...but this IS Deep Purple.

[moq42]

The Best of Rock !!!!

[S211213]

Blackmore, sorry, the acoustics are good, I love Made in Japan but I really liked this album, it was a comeback album, a more modern thematic album with kool moods and edgy sounds

[S211213]

I think this was about the peak for Blackwell, I saw the perfect strangers tour at the cow palace SF , It was damn impressive

[kohlaml]

Inspite of that what I wrote here - have a look on the video with Rainbow in Munich live 1977, a great Blackmore here now, strong playing with full power. I think he had his best times in the 70´s and in the first Rainbow years he really showed who the master is.

[lFoox]

Como era lindo essa interação entre Gilan e Blackmore. :/

[Tenebroso92]

26:47............. =)))

[brraaanno]

Cool footage, thx for upload!

[morrixon2]

what are the playing in 1:06:10 it's just a jam or a song ?

[kohlaml]

Blackmore really is a great guitarist, but I often wonder what the hell is doing sometimes. What I mean is for example the first solo at "Nobody´s home"- it´s only noise and has nothing to do with a good solo. But that´s what I wondered often also when I saw him live - with Rainbow or Purple. Well, most people reflect on their guitar their personality - and there is no question about him as being a strange guy. But in spite of that he also had a great influence on my guitar playing.

[TheSteveSteele]

@kohlaml He's an emotional player and noise is part of his dynamic.

[brraaanno]

@kohlaml Good point - these years, espacially late rainbow years (Turner era), were his least melodic on solos, but aside from that he is the melody king. He slowed down his play much when Gillan and Glover came and turned more into melodic play, but here he plays damn quick again - some people may like it but it is my least favourite era. Love his play around machine head times, or Dio, Bonnet eras Rainbow. Saw him play live 2 or 3 years ago with Night and he is still wonderfully melodic.

[AZEIDJSKSQMM]

@kohlaml You're right, Blackmore is so far from a page in terms of improvisation, clarity in ideas and lyricism ...

[blackmoreOrion]

I like so much shole band shot at 0:13:07

It shows that you don't need to fuckin dance or do crazy shit on stage to amaze the audience! Music speaks for itself! Not makeup,fireworks or some other stupid things.

[bernardo650820]

es bastante bueno

[darcsaster]

very glad you did it

[Narmianael]

Zsír!(Hun)

[1959child]

Ritchie why did you leave us!!!!! damn fairies and lutes...

[DemonsEye1958]

Thank you so much, great sound quality and picture of the original WDR broadcast. When Rockpalast broadcasted this originally in 1985 they made us wait til about 2 am because that dwarf Prince was also live in concert. I was a little dissapointed about the state of Gillan's voice back then, but never mind eh? I think he ruined it on that notorious Black Sabbath Born Again Tour where he did a great job.

[CLUTCHCORE]

NICE..TNX MAN...YOU ROCK..

[nevetsffen]

Morse is good but Blackmore is better.

[danny8429]

Gillan is simply suffering from the common cold on this particular evening. Whoever thinks he sucks is an idiot.

[Corleonetone]

@aacugna8 because he sucks

[TheRijir]

great concert.i heard a lot of ritchie concerts,and he is always amazing.the best guitarist ever!!!!!!!!!!gillan is disaster

[purpleneil59]

The band are all playing well but sadly Gillan's vocals just aren't up to scatch. After seeing this and some other uploads from the '80s I can understand Blackmore's frustration with Gillan.

[trapone100]

Thx for posting this gig! Lord and Paice always in good shape, Ritchie and Ian not....

anyway great to have this gig in memory!

[MJL3764]

@trapone100 Band frictions, off days , egos etc Paice and Lord have never played a bad gig to my knowledge Gillans scream is a whisper ! nice to see all the same.agree.

[rushyeskansas]

I was disappointed when i first watched this show on TV. Gillan had a very bad day, Ritchie was not playing good either ... I saw them on the open air in Mannheim (Germany) same year in a much better shape! Anyway ... i was glad to see their come back live after having been a fan since years. PURPLE rules!!!

[wasseocamnr1]

Cheers



[bighairaddict]

Great concert. Too bad Ritchie has abandoned rock and roll. Saw DP back in the late 80's. Thanks for posting.



[orange70383]

Great show, Ritchie really is amazing.
