Wow --- anyone notice the backline? That's Ritchie's setup and I bet he abandoned his stage gear (with the exception of his strats...) when he quit in the middle of this tour -- how convenient for Joe -- lol.
Morse is great. He plays his own stuff perfectly. But when he has to play something that he didnt write himself, its not so good... Still a great guitarist though :-)
@Paragonx135 When Morse plays Highway Star live he does it note-perfect without throwing a strop. Much as I love Ritchie's work, he clearly does not want to work with the band anymore...
out of place or not satriani killed it. I can never listen to this song enough. Far as satriani goes to me this is one of his best, albeit i know this isnt where his talent lies.
@mcrouble i didn't mean satriani is not good as guitarist... i just said he's able to give emotion to his public when he plays HIS music, non deep purple's... i just said he's not the right guitarist to substitute blackmore..
@joelioes i'm a musician not good as blackmore, even not good as satriani, but i know something about music, and i consider myself capable to give some judgment about musicians.. you can still not agree.. not my problem.
satriani is all techinique and no feelings... he's not the right substitute for a great guitar player such as blackmore, that put all his emotion in what he played
@joelioes and who are you to critizise someone for saying his opinion??? Everyone can say what he thinks and if you don't think so you are absolutely wrong here...
@husky9292 When a new guitarist replaces an older one,it always happen when people like you start giving their opinion about who's better and who's worse...there's no doubt Richie is a great guitarist..but,satriani is one of the best too...and yeah..satriani is not about just techniques ,his guitar playing has got emotions too...you have right to say what you feel...but don't give a baseless judgement..and enjoy music....
i've never understood why northamerican people always like to rank the most of good musicians... a great musician is a great musician and who the hell cares about who better than the other is...
@napivperdun morse and satriani are both amazing guitarists and you can't really say one is better than the other. In my opinion, morse's playing is generally more intecrate musically while satriani seems to eb better technically. But both are still amazing
original style or not, joe satriani played his heart into this song, and he rocked it, and its awesome, and they wouldnt have had him if they didnt expect him to annihilate the solos. WTG joe awesome as always ans this is by far my fav song with YOU on the lead, nice
Blacmoore had (have) som strange choise in his life,,,,, and he is THE guitarist... (machine head 1971).... But i think this guy make a good "stand in".... He have good sound and his own style,,,,, clear and good played... and a nice riff too..
@civildisputerocks its right. Morse and Sartriani pull in their zillion-miles-an-hour note playing when Ritchie would not play at all, if , only a few notes.
Joe understands the essence of Deep Purple! There is a hugely soulful component with Ritchie Blackmore and IMHO, Satch captures it well! Wish Ian Guillen could still hold it up!
I am a big Ritchie fan and I love this song. I have seen Steve M play it live on several occassions and feel he plays it too fast and with too many notes. I quite like this version. I think the track on the remastered Machine Head is brilliant but as Ritchie always refused to play this live we can never compare properly.
you people allways have to make comparisons and I just don't see the point. both blackmore and satriani are great in their on way. and by the way, joe's solo is not stupid and lame at all.
@szabolcsbabolcs Its 100% clear why Satriani doesnt have that natural feeling as Blackmore has in this song. Satriani doenst even have a connection to this song, like Blackmore has. Try to listen to some real Joe Satriani such as the song Crying. That is pure emotion!
But if its your oppinion, then i will let you have it :D
@szabolcsbabolcs Or listen to some of his unfamous songs like Saying Goodbye, You Saved My Life, Revelation, Ten Words, The Forgotten (Part 2), Hills of the Skull. Then you will listen some emotional guitar from Satriani :P
I really wish i was born at this time so i could see Satriani toured with Deep Purple...when i found out he did the same year i was born i almost started crying :(
Ritche to me is more istinctive he has the hard rock inside, end he is crazy thats made me mod, whithout leave anythings to Satriani I steel love Ritchie
Is it only me, or is there anybody else that gets flashbacks to "Comfortably Numb" during Satriani's magnificent solo? NOT that i would accuse any of the two guitar gods off stealing, i just think they sound alike.
@ovemunk yes, i had the same feeling too. in some moments it reminds me comfortably numb, i think that's because it's the same rhythm and some little guitar phrases are very similar.
Ian Paice, one of my favorite drummers. Check out "The Mule" from Made in Japan. How did Satriani get this gig and how did I miss it? I've seen the original lineup in the 80's but Ritchie always playing w/his back to the crowd turned me off. This is sweet. My favorite band of all time.satriani solo in the 80's was great too. OMG look at all those Marshall stacks.
A true blessing to hear how Mr. Satch, one of the most technically accomplished and inventive guitarists around, pushes his own ego aside and plays 100% for the song. Beautiful, simple pentatonics just like the song calls for - and that from someone who can shred out faster and more "clever" scales than anyone.
This is TRUE musicianship; many thanks for posting!
haha, no, blackmore would not laugh at this, he would laugh at you, he ould respect Joe Satriani as the great guitarist he is, just like joe respects blackmore
Everyone who sits here a blabs about who is better, who has more feeling, and who is better at guitar, needs to get life, emotions are different for eveyone and everyone views the playing of a guitar player in a different way. we can all agree that Satch and Morse are both great guitarists
@civildisputerocks yee right, but none of them are better than Ritchie. I can't stand that someone else play guitar in that band... He was the really big part of Purple sound, that's no doubt. That same as Gillan and Lord. Now is just substitute of Purple without two of them... Sad but true.
@Vladymir1916 You are correct however it is Blackmores choice to not be in purple I think that it is his mistake to not play with them,the rest of the band is still awesome.
@civildisputerocks Satriani is a real fenomenal guitarist, no doubt about that, but here hes killing the spirit of this song. Blackmore kept it simple, but at the same time very moving. I miss that blusie feeling the original song has..
this is nice and Satriani is great but still... this isn't even close to what Steve Morse does with the song. Compared to him, Satriani is a kind of overdrive addict, cutting emotion and sharing a little pieces of it while Morse melts it like a butter, spreads it all over the audience and keeps you lost in the feeling.
wot do u mean not evern close to steve morse, This Version is light years better than steve morse, Listen satriani songs like THE FORGOTTEN PART 2, ALL ALONE , MADE IN TEARS u can find all of 'em in you tube then come back and tell me he hasn't got emotion!!!!
I didn't say that Satriani hasn't got any emotion, i am just saying that he doesn't show it in this song like Morse does. If I'd like to express a more biased opinion, I would say that Morse can play like Satriani, but Satriani can't play like Morse. ;)
Satriani plays this solo soooo amazingly well. I get goosebumps every time. I love how humble he is and you can tell he really just enjoys playing the guitar, like I hope we all do. At the end of the day it is not about how slow or how fast you play or who does it better but it's about just enjoying the moment and losing yourself in the song you are playing. Closing your eyes and going for it, then opening them and smiling at your bandmates and the people in the crowd. Guitar is not a contest
I don't think you have to play two notes a minute to play with a feeling. Always seems like people only think you are playing with feeling when you are playing so slow people are nodding off in the front row. You should play guitar for yourself first and foremost and love what you do because it really is a cool thing. 3 years ago I spent almost 2 grand flying down to see Satriani, front row and meet him and all that and I payed for that solely from playing my guitar. That was a cool feeling:)
Since now this is my favourite performance by Joe... Very very good indeed. Maybe I'm not one of his fans but he plays that song with de feeling it deserves, and that's not easy.
The one who doesn't get the point is Ian Gillan. He is out of tone the most of the song.
I thought that was great. Not sure why some people are down on Satriani's playing on it. If I remember correctly, he did not have alot of time to practice with the band. Blackmore left, and the tour had to go on.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Satriani destroyed in an epic way the song, even Morse does it much better, even when some think he adds too much spice to the song, he stays more on the tune with the group... didn't like this version at all.
Satrani is a great guitarist, however, sometimes less is better and more simple is needed. I play this song and play the licks from the heart, which is how this guitarist is playing. Blues is the outpouring of the innermost depths of ones soul. BB KIng,Albert KIng all played some of the most heart felt leads and usually one to five notes at a time. Not demeaning anyone or their favorite guitarist, but different style make the world go round. Play it loud..play it PROUD
Whats the big problem, Satriani's licks are much better then the licks of Blackmore, blackmore is a Great guitarist, but his rifs are simple, but satriani's rifs are hard, and its a whole other style of music they play, ánd they're both great
Wow. I'm a fan of the origonal version but I've gotta say that Satriani did a mega version there. And I normally don't like his stuff.! Amazing. The rest of the band are fantastic as always.
Just amazing. It says too much about Joe how he just shapes to what the band asked at the time from him. A different Satch than in his solo carreer with another way to play but the same feeling. He's the man
I had never heard the original and so this was my first listen to it. It might be different than the Blackmore version and that's to be expected because Joe Satriani is on guitar and not Blackmore. I really love the solo Joe does!! Totally epic solo...
Purple have had a couple of great guitarists after blackie who are probably as technically as good as him but will never replace him. The man is a genius and the best musician of his generation. He has the ability to play anything and his improvisation skills are second to none. I honestly beleive he has been sent from heaven to give us the gift of the gods, Rock n Roll. Everytime he steps on stage he has a presence that you cant describe and which can never be copied or replaced.
Ritchie hated this song. If he was in this lineup you wouldn't hear the song.

this is nice and Satriani is great but still... this isn't even close to what Steve Morse does with the song. Compared to him, Satriani is a kind of overdrive addict, cutting emotion and sharing a little pieces of it while Morse melts it like a butter, spreads it all over the audience and keeps you lost in the feeling.

wot do u mean not evern close to steve morse, This Version is light years better than steve morse, Listen satriani songs like THE FORGOTTEN PART 2, ALL ALONE , MADE IN TEARS u can find all of 'em in you tube then come back and tell me he hasn't got emotion!!!!

I didn't say that Satriani hasn't got any emotion, i am just saying that he doesn't show it in this song like Morse does. If I'd like to express a more biased opinion, I would say that Morse can play like Satriani, but Satriani can't play like Morse. ;)

Satriani plays this solo soooo amazingly well. I get goosebumps every time. I love how humble he is and you can tell he really just enjoys playing the guitar, like I hope we all do. At the end of the day it is not about how slow or how fast you play or who does it better but it's about just enjoying the moment and losing yourself in the song you are playing. Closing your eyes and going for it, then opening them and smiling at your bandmates and the people in the crowd. Guitar is not a contest

I don't think you have to play two notes a minute to play with a feeling. Always seems like people only think you are playing with feeling when you are playing so slow people are nodding off in the front row. You should play guitar for yourself first and foremost and love what you do because it really is a cool thing. 3 years ago I spent almost 2 grand flying down to see Satriani, front row and meet him and all that and I payed for that solely from playing my guitar. That was a cool feeling:)

Since now this is my favourite performance by Joe... Very very good indeed. Maybe I'm not one of his fans but he plays that song with de feeling it deserves, and that's not easy.
The one who doesn't get the point is Ian Gillan. He is out of tone the most of the song.
That is my opinion anyway.

I thought that was great. Not sure why some people are down on Satriani's playing on it. If I remember correctly, he did not have alot of time to practice with the band. Blackmore left, and the tour had to go on.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Satriani destroyed in an epic way the song, even Morse does it much better, even when some think he adds too much spice to the song, he stays more on the tune with the group... didn't like this version at all.

And my opinion is that the Stevie Ray Vaughan a Ritchie Blackmore are the greatest in electric guitar history!

Good choices, but have you ever heard Walter Trout? He is a fantastc blues,blues/rock guitarist. Look him up I think you might like him.

Satrani is a great guitarist, however, sometimes less is better and more simple is needed. I play this song and play the licks from the heart, which is how this guitarist is playing. Blues is the outpouring of the innermost depths of ones soul. BB KIng,Albert KIng all played some of the most heart felt leads and usually one to five notes at a time. Not demeaning anyone or their favorite guitarist, but different style make the world go round. Play it loud..play it PROUD

Whats the big problem, Satriani's licks are much better then the licks of Blackmore, blackmore is a Great guitarist, but his rifs are simple, but satriani's rifs are hard, and its a whole other style of music they play, ánd they're both great

Wow. I'm a fan of the origonal version but I've gotta say that Satriani did a mega version there. And I normally don't like his stuff.! Amazing. The rest of the band are fantastic as always.

Just amazing. It says too much about Joe how he just shapes to what the band asked at the time from him. A different Satch than in his solo carreer with another way to play but the same feeling. He's the man

great solo, satriani has an incedible feeling

I had never heard the original and so this was my first listen to it. It might be different than the Blackmore version and that's to be expected because Joe Satriani is on guitar and not Blackmore. I really love the solo Joe does!! Totally epic solo...

Purple have had a couple of great guitarists after blackie who are probably as technically as good as him but will never replace him. The man is a genius and the best musician of his generation. He has the ability to play anything and his improvisation skills are second to none. I honestly beleive he has been sent from heaven to give us the gift of the gods, Rock n Roll. Everytime he steps on stage he has a presence that you cant describe and which can never be copied or replaced.
