@shotguy1 Yes, you are quite correct*. I wasn't referring to the riff of Blackmore's re-arrangement (which itself is heavily based on the sparse intro of the original) but rather the actual medlody/theme the man in black spontaneously launches into at the 25:17 time mark.
*Although it bears a strong resemblance, I think there are still some subtle differences between the riffing on the intro of "You Fool No One" and the final version Ritchie lay down with Rainbow roughly a year later.
Now that's a literally smoking rendition of a tune that live every so often tended to come across as rather insubstantial and seemed more of an individual showcase for the different members' instrumental wizardry than a coherent musical statement.
My favourite version is probably from London '74. That one not only encompasses 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' and some bars of the Yardbirds staple 'Still I'm Sad' (pre-Rainbow) but also features the cheekily incorporated original intro of 'Bombay Calling'!
The only thing that would of made this better is Ian Gillan...

As long as there's no hideous "fan club" logo on it I dig it.

I love Deep Purple and Jon Lord was great and a true Master of the Hammond. But the best to me on the Hammond B3 was Ken Hensley from Uriah Heep.
