Ritchie Blackmore was so ahead of his time: this is from 1969, 40 years ago! This live solo excerpt reminds me of "Hendrix-meets-snakecharmer": wild with Middle Eastern scales; incredible. Ritchie is still awesome to this day; my favorite of all time.

  • Ritchie sounds here so good!!!!

    i was always wondering: Could Hendrix to hear or see Ritchie Blackmore`s playing??

    and what he would tell about it???

  • @z603dauren Hendrix really admired Blackmore's playing, according to Deep Purple's first bassist, Nick Simper

  • @VincePalamara And according to Hendrix himself. Both guitarists had actually been imitating each other for a while, completely unaware that they were heavily influencing one another at the same time. Alice Cooper talked about this in great detail on his radio show one night. It was very interesting. Jimi Hendrix considered Blackmore to be a much better guitarist than himself (and rightly so, as it was absolutely true).

  • @IshadaKatzteilov AWESOME!

  • this solo reminds me the kind of solo he used to play in Space truckin around 1972...!

  • true! That and Mandrake Root

  • @IshadaKatzteilov Believe me my friend, and i`m a RB fan, When Ritchie heard 'fire' he changed Deep purple. Gillan told that in a interview. Be glad, no Hendrix=no Deep Purple.

  • If you listen carefully his licks are from clasical music,,He said he listened to Music on Shortwave radio and developed his own Style!

  • it would be nice to hear page and beck and clapton to talk about blackmore and hear what they think. page meet blackmore in the early days before the yaidbirds

  • @IshadaKatzteilov Hendrix died in 1970. What would he have said if he could have heart Blackmore´s playing after 1970.... :) But God bless Henrix´s memory!

  • Hendrix was doing those dives and tremolos in 1965 at the Cafe Wha? in NYC.

  • @michaeljminton Blackmore is the best! thanks

  • When Ritchie's in a good mood great things happen.
