Gillan wasn't stones or drunk. This video was recored before the song was released on Machine Head. It wasn't finished at this time, that's why he improvises the lyrics and why the solos are different.
Gillan was either drunk or stoned outa his gord man. Buttons and everything?? LMAO I love DP, my favorite band ever, but this is one shitty rendition of HStar.
Ritchie Blackmore apparently didn't like to be video taped. Maybe he thought either he would loose his soul or someone would rip off his chops (early Malmsteen). You can't find decent video of Blackmore. Alex Van Halen said the the same thing to Eddie. he wanted Eddie to play facing his amps so no one would rip him off. It happened anyway.
And just another example that it's not the singer that makes one band great. Gillan sang some shit-load of words here, but the song still sounds great.
The organ-solo sounds epic!!!!!!!!
