Deep Purple in Concert

.

Did you guys remember DEEP PURPLE ?

For those whose memories need to be jogged, Deep Purple was this hard rock band formed in Hertford, UK in 1968. They are regarded as one of the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock. They also incorporated classical music, blues-rock, pop and progressive rock elements into some of their musical numbers. Once listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's loudest band, Deep Purple has sold over 100 million albums worldwide.

The band have gone through many line-up changes and an eight-year hiatus (1976–84). The 1968–76 line-ups are commonly labeled Mark I, II, III and IV. Their second and most commercially successful line-up featured Ian Gillan (vocals), Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Jon Lord (keyboards), Roger Glover (bass) and Ian Paice (drums). This line-up was active from 1969 to 1973 and was revived from 1984 to 1989 and again in 1993, before the rift between Blackmore and other members became unbridgeable. The current line-up has left Paice as the only original member to have never left the band.

Well guys, turn up your speakers to the very MAX ... and play this music video to reactivate those burning hot rocker attitudes you may have once possessed ... (better you find a quiet room and lock the door, in case you start jumping around and doing the air guitar thing!)

Wasn't that nice?
