Made in Japan was what introduced me to Deep Purple when I heard back in 1974 or 1976 - I was just 8 years old but heavily influenced by my elder brothers and cousin who were all into Prog and Hard Rock. Thanks for mentioning it!

Love Ritchie's playing. His music makes up for his quirks, he likes to be a mystery. Ritchie implied he plays for himself. We are just lucky enough to be around to hear it.

Got to hear Purple at their finest on the live album 'Made in Japan' possibly the greatest live recording ever.

This is my favorite Deep Purple song. John Lord and the Hammett Organ…with Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, going back and forth. This version of Deep Purple is awesome IMO. The drummer is outstanding also. This song fuses blues/rock and a touch of jazz. Live version of this song is on the Album “Made in Japan” is worth listening to also.

This brings me right back to '73. Loved this lick from the moment I heard it. I played drums in a local band (subbed) to this song when I was 13 and the guitar player smoked this song. It was so inspiring that I started practising guitar seriously then. Thanks to Dale Mikino. Cheers Nick and best wishes to Lex. 😊🍁

When I saw Blackmores' Night, Richie was passing out beers to the audience. People were dressed in period clothes and Richie was asking them questions and engaging the crowd. He showed his true guitar heroness.

If you haven’t listened to “Child In Time” , I highly recommend it. IMO, it’s Deep Purple’s best song and one of the best rock songs ever recorded. Ian Gillan’s vocals in “Child In Time” are mind blowing.

Deep Purple Best Rock Band Ever !!

RIP Jon Lord. Ian Paice, Lord, Roger Glover, Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillian were all super talented musicians that pushed each other to be better and LOUDER!

Yes! Lazy is my favorite Deep Purple song!

This is one of the few hard rock groups I enjoyed in the 60's-70's. My favorites are their covers of Joe South's "Hush" & Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman". Also like "Smoke On The Water", "Child In Time", "Woman From Tokyo", "Highway Star", "Fireball", Speed King", "Space Truckin'", etc.

The more I listen to "Lazy," the more I think it might be one of Deep Purple's best song. It doesn't rock as hard or as long as some of their more famous songs, but it's really tough to do a "long song" and keep things interesting throughout. Songs like "Stairway..." by Zeppelin and "Jessica" by The Allman Brothers. "Lazy" just never gets old or boring. What stellar musicians they all were/are. Enjoyed your reaction very much.

Great Nick, DP is one of me favorites. Their album In Rock is one of the best metal albums ever, IMHO. ✌️🔥

IT was my first album , very good memory.

Ian Paice in the funky pocket of Maybe I'm A Leo is one of the best bits of many on this album.

I wore this album out as a kid. Taught myself this song on organ and learned the blues scale without knowing I had learned it!

It was probably a regional thing with Plant, he's from near Birmingham where Sabbath were from.

DP fue la banda que me introdujo al Hard Rock y al Heavy Metal. Por ese entonces yo estaba muy inmerso en la música disco. Cuando escuché Machine Head, ellos sacudieron mi cabeza y me abrieron la mente. Ese disco es increíble y para mí Lazy es la frutilla en el tope del pastel. Lord y su gran talento. Que decir de Ritchie: Otro genio. Paice y Glover no se quedan atrás y sumado a todo esto tenemos a Gillan. Estos tipos si sabián lo que estaban haciendo. No comento mucho, pero siempre los veo. Saludos desde Argentina.

My favorite Deep Purple song. Machine Head album is iconic.

As a 13 y.o. when this album was released, my family spent summer weekends camping and boating along a lake, along with 100 other families who also rented a small lot like we did, "camping" in their trailers and pop-up tents. A few lots down from us, a pair of freshman college students set up a tent where they lived all summer. That entire summer they played a total of five 8 track tapes, repeatedly, day and night. Those of us within hearing range got to know those five albums VERY well! One was Machine Head, which I never tired of hearing, then, or now. A year later, their live album Made In Japan turned me into a major fan, and in many ways set me on my path to learning how to play an instrument, and play in a band, both which happened. The version of Lazy from that live album is a perfect example of why that line-up was brilliant. Very few bands could do what they did in front of an audience, often topping the studio version.

Do NOT watch any live version of DP performing Lazy until you hear the live version from Made In Japan. Music (and only the music) first, from Made In Japan, then feel free to listen and watch any other live version. Like any band, they had their ups and downs on any given night. The performances on Made In Japan were especially brilliant, which is why it was officially released at that time.

Great cut! Good memories... Also great version on the " Made in Japan" album.

Jon Lord.... "King of the keyboard" 😎 🎹

My dad had Machine Head on vinyl when I was a kid. It was one of the earliest Hard Rock/Metal albums I heard as a child and remains a personal favorite to this day. In the 80s when I got into Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Metallica, and Slayer my dad had a hard time believing Deep Purple influenced all those bands. Lol. I guess that happens for a lot of people of my dad’s generation. In any case, good to see this song getting some attention. The intro keyboards by Jon Lord are so killer, God rest his soul. I can listen to the whole album from to back over and over.

I really enjoyed your reaction and your ongoing commentary. I had every album that these three bands put out in the 70s and early 80s. I hope you are able to spend time listening to all of their albums. They all put out some masterpieces! Lazy is certainly one of them!

Purple live was something to behold. No two nights were ever the same. Like Zeppelin, they would stretch the tracks as long as they wanted. Ritchie played best when he was angry, and could play tasteful solos at will. Never repeated himself. Jon Lord decided that the Hammond sounded too feeble through the Lesley, so pushed it through a Marshall. Listen to Smoke on the Water, 50% of the heaviness is his Hammond. There’s much heavier stuff on “Deep Purple In Rock”. Also, check out the Coverdale/Hughes era of Purple, probably them at their finest. I would really like to see you react to “Burn” from the album of the same name. Oh, and please check out the band Lovebites. I want to see your face melt.

Taking me back with this one Nick! Thanks bro 👍

IT'S SO AMAZING AND FREAKISHLY GOOD THE WAY JON LORD ( ORGAN ) AND RITCHIE PLAYED OFF EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME THEY WERE TOGETHER :)

I was 14 when this came out my mom got me the 8track tape. Like ? are you kidding ? instant classic !

My favorite Deep Purple song. (Love DP...and Zep...)

Never to loud for Lazy!!! One of my favorite songs of all time! Well done!

As an aspiring keyboard player in the early '70's, the Hammond organ stood out as THE organ of Rock 'n' Roll, as it had the heaviest yet most diverse sound. Jon Lord was mandatory study, as well. The overdriven sound that Jon got was by putting the Hammond's audio output through guitar amplifiers such as Marshalls. By doing so, he felt that he was able to compete with lead guitarists on stage. A very good friend of mine--an excellent Hammond player and technician himself---modified my Hammond C3 by placing a Leslie Combo Pre-Amp (meant to run 2 Leslie speakers instead of the one Leslie output of the Hammond) between the organ's internal pre-amp and the amplifier of the Hammond itself. With that modification, I was able to turn up the gain to get the distortion level that I wanted, but I could still control the Master volume so that the organ could scream at a whisper, if I wanted. The circuitry also allowed me to increase the Hammond's percussive attack so that you could feel an auditory "punch" in your chest if I turned the effect up. By doing this, I could recreate a Hammond sound akin to Jon's. "Lazy" was a necessary part of every keyboardist's repertoire, as it a staple of the Deep Purple catalog. I remember hearing 'Machine Head' the day it came out, and this song helped propel me down my musical path. On a side note, Nick, I see your copy of Peter Gabriel's "Growing Up" Tour CD, where you could order a copy of the exact show that you attended. Which show did you see ? Keep up the great work !!!

You will love anything off of Deep Purple "machine head" or "Burn"!

Love Machine Head. One of my favorite albums to listen to time and again... and again... And it's one of the biggest influences on heavy metal.

Good choice Nick! You're diving into Deep Purple. I always liked this song. I bought Machine Head when I was in high school in the 70s. Everyone dug it, we listened to it a lot, and of course my band covered Smoke On the Water, that was like required. But my favorite from that album was Lazy. Such a good groove. And the organ sounds killer. John Lord had such an overdriven tone, because that Hammond had such a high level signal compared to guitar and he ran it through a Marshall guitar amp; that distortion was so cool on keyboards. Dig it yeah.

One of my favorite tracks off Machine Head. Definitely a bluesy number!

Deep Purple were best live. They made some great studio albums but probably their greatest album is their live double album, 'Made in Japan'. It's considered, by many, to be the greatest live album of all-time and for good reason! It's definitely worth checking out. It's an incredible album! Purple were just on another level when playing live! :)

La banda de mí adolescencia .....saludos

Bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep etc were influences on what later become Metal, but they aren't metal bands themselves. The closest band to Metal back then was Black Sabbath, it started with them. You said pretty much the same thing in your video. Enjoyed this one, thanks.

Great job in your analogy of Deep Purple. My journey with them was their music was playing in a strange little bar in Tokyo in I think 1972 called DJ Stone. ❤️ Smoke on the Water was it then!

I was 14 when Machine Head came out in 72, and to me this was heavy metal. The Unholy Trinity of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath started it all. And according to Guinness World Record, Deep Purple was the noisiest band. I will forever be Deep Purple!

Deep Purple In Rock was the first rock LP in the Becker's household, my 3 years older brother bought it one day and played it to the whole family, my parents were like "ok, once is enough" 🙂 Other than Nick said, this album was the big breakthrough for Deep Purple in Germany, being released on June 3rd 1970, climbing to #1 on the LP charts on July 15th, staying there for almost 3 months, something which is nowadays inconceivable. It's my #1 Deep Purple studio album, but I also like Fireball and Machine Head very much. But I have to say, that I prefer the live versions of Made in Japan of songs like Highway Star, Lazy and the great version of Space Trucking, if anybody never heard this, it will blow you away. Lazy is another example for the duels between Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord.

Flight Of The Rat is my favorite on this album. I think it is one of their best albums Into The Fire also.

All three bands are amazing, but Deep Purple is the most diverse, fun and open-minded. They didn't lock themselves into a genre or popularity, but continued to do their thing and please people. Want the heaviest album among these three bands? so listen to In Rock - no one even comes close to their intensity and heaviness. For me, in the first place is Deep Purple, then the amazing Black Sabbath and only after them Led Zeppelin. You can hear Black Sabbath performing Deep Purple songs and see how they collaborate with members of the Purple Family. Or how Deep Purple or its members perform Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, but you will never hear the same from members of Led Zeppelin - it's too hard for them to acknowledge their contemporaries, they are probably afraid to lose the status of gods.

Deep Purple (mark II) was the best hard rock all the time

Got to love seeing the "younger generations" discovering - or rather appreciating - what we grew up listening to. Imagine a musician discovering Bach, Beethoven or Mozart...Love it and keep it up. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull, and dozens of others...all through to Hocus Pocus and Kraftwerk...They are the modern day Bach and Mozart, inspired by earlier influences, but going a bit further, pushing the envelope, being creative and unafraid of exploring new musical spheres while setting new standards. The amount of cover versions and tribute bands and people crediting them for their inspiration goes to prove that they have an important place in the history of music. Keep it up with your videos! P.S. Yes, I believe that Black Sabbath were the heaviest, Deep Purple were more consolidated in their music, Zeppelin were heavy but in my opinion lacking in the melodies that Deep Purple produced and lacked the "thump" that Black Sabbath had...Zeppelin also failed to credit their "inspirations" but that's another story. I have all - or almost all - of the albums of these three gargantuan bands (Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin) and Deep Purple are my favourites, perhaps because of the JS Bach influence. Are all great and have their place in history. And in the future.

Hi Nick, thanks for commenting on this great Purple track. I definitely like the older albums, but maybe you could try a later song by them. For example, I think you will like "Perfect Strangers", title track from their 1984 album.

Black light posters and the 7th grade. This was the first song ever where my Dad came in my room and turned down my stereo and just glared at me. I never thought of Deep Purple As heavy metal more just hard rock. Jon Lord on keyboards and Roger Glover on bass. I deep cut on this album that I think Alex would like is maybe I’m a Leo. It’s very funky and got a great rhythmic jam between the organ and the guitar. Cool stuff Nick keep on digging. As others have mentioned made in Japan is a great live album.

I have always loved the live version of this song from Australia 1999. Steve Morse on guitar and some great Jon Lord keyboards. And it's a well recorded video as well.

We had this 8 track, album, cassette, then CD. Every track on this album kicks ass! Especially love Lazy! Thanks Nick!

72 :) 50 YEARS NOW THIS YEAR NICK. AND OF COURSE THE OTHER 3 IN THE BAND TOO : IAN GILLAN ( VOCALS ), IAN PAICE ( DRUMS ), AND ROGER GLOVER ( BASS ) THAT WAS THE BEST PURPLE LINEUP AND THIS CLASSIC ALBUM ( MACHINE HEAD ) DEFINITELYYYY TOP 50 OF ALL TIME I SAY :)

Among the three bands Deep Purple is my favourite. More versatile and great musicianship. Not undermining other two but Deep purple is ahead just by an inch.

You can never be too loud with Deep Purple. They had the reputation as the loudest! One of the earliest prog rock bands for me to listen to in the late 60s. Try listening to their very early stuff, such as the live recording Concerto for Group and Orchestra. Totally agree that Deep Purple were the only band to have a dedicated keyboard player in Jon Lord, compared to LZ and BS.

the 1970's nothing can match it for creativity in music !

Hey Nick, Love this song and John Lord is as amazing on an Hammond B3 as Ritchie Blackmore on guitar and I know that you may not know much Deep Purple right now, But, By the time when you have listened to more of their stuff then you'll know a lot more & like their music more and more!! My first true exposure of Deep Purple was when I'd heard the live edited version of "Smoke On The Water" from Made In Japan on the radio when I was around 10 or so that's when I had to explore my musical horizons more and I'm so glad that I did with no or any regrets!! Sending you all love & prayers and can't wait to hear from you soon!! Thanks & Keep Rockin'!!, Walter - 🤘❤🙏🤘

Jon Lord, the keyboardist was a classically trained keyboardist. It was Jon who first brought classical elements into Purple, especially, the first version, Mark 1, of Purple. Ian Paice - drums; Roger Glover - bass a great rhythm section. I saw Purple and Led Zep back in the day. No comparison. Purple blows Zep off the stage. The musicianship in Purple was incredible. Lazy is one of my 2 all time favorites by Purple (the other is Child In Time). Purple and ELP are my 2 favorite bands. (I'm a keyboardist, so no surprise...)

I've heard it said King Crimson's performance of 21st Century Schizoid Man in Hyde Park in 1969 was the birth of heavy metal.

Purple los más grandes

Deep Purple's heaviest album is In Rock. Check out Speed King, Flight Of The Rat or Bloodsucker from that album. Much heavier than anything on Machine Head. And the epic track Child In Time--also from In Rock--features incredible vocals by Ian Gillan.

Love this.

SO THERE YA GO NICK :)

I think Jon Lord was the reason I preferred Deep Purple to Black Sabbath. He was a great keyboards player, and very good friends with Rick Wakeman. Talking about guitarists not getting on, it was different with the keyboards legends of the 70's! Rick, Jon and Keith Emerson all got on very well, and Rick was deeply upset when Keith and Jon passed away. These guys left legacies that will be untarnished forever.

Purple & Zeppelin were Hard Rock bands - who along with Sabbath inspired the Heavy Metal bands of the late seventies and eighties and beyond. I agree JPJ was the most underappreciated member of Zeppelin. He and Page were experienced session musicians. Zeppelin were a better studio band than live band - Purple were better live than in the studio. Sabbath were heavier from the get go but were like Zeppelin a blues band who progressed - Purple were a progressive band who got heavier. All three bands were necessary for the Heavy Metal explosion that followed. This track was the track that first got me into purple (I had heard In Rock and Fireball) - but hearing this track when I was recovering from overindulgence of alcohol (in bed) was the track that changed my musical tastes forever - this was the track where I finally listened to the music rather than just heard it! Blackmore was (and is) a complex character - the throwing water incident you allude to was because he did not want cameras on stage (see also the trashing of a camera at the Cal Jam,) and when this was ignored he reacted.

The best song from Deep Purple, they were more a Hard Rock band then heavy metal like Black Sabbath.

I wouldn't classify Deep Purple as a Metal Band. To me they are rooted in Blues. Kind of a High Energy Blues Rock.

Three different bands. My opinion is that Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin were hard rock bands (virtuoso) and Black Sabbath was Heavy Metal in general. As others have said, Made in Japan is the pinnacle.

Actually it was Jon Lord who influenced Blackmore to an extent (he started playing classical guitar at his father's demand) check out Deep Purple Concerto for Group and Orchestra. I was getting ready when I first heard this, with Blackmore's intro I had to question almost if it was keyboard he is so smooth and quick on hear. I was 15, I am 66 I have met Blackmore twice, I think he just aloof, the second time was Blackmore's Night, medieval classical rock, he seems much more content, naturally he has that beuatiful wonderful woman (you should check out BN) and the world has finally caught up with the fact that he is Ritchie Blackmore. My own personal god and I shall have no other until the end of my days. Also the greatest arranger and consistent songwriter for 50 years

I saw Deep Purples’ Machine Head tour in 1972 on June 6 at the international amphitheater in Chicago. Up until recently it was touted as the loudest concert in history at some points it was 105 dB. I was 15 I remembered the actual date it was freaking amazing. It was my first concert ever and it was like standing in the middle of a hurricane with tornadoes of sound all around you. This is about the time when Richie Blackmore started to lose his mind. Satan worship, drug abuse, people abuse. Here’s the story I’m telling. Richie Blackmore got in an argument with the band which he quit all the time, they locked him out of a room so he beat the door down with an ax and went after the band with it. You’re right he’s a douche. Very creative though… Creativity usually comes with a trade-off. Please find the “Made in Japan” double album and listen to “The Mule”. One of the best drummers in the world. He can do a 32 stroke drumroll with one hand. I’m a drummer I don’t know how he does it. And he’s still rocking it. I think it’s amazing that the world is discovering all of my favorite songs through the many reaction videos I’ve seen lately more power to you 1972 to 1979 -best music ever made

One more thing. Ian Paice is the only left-handed drummer I’ve ever seen.

Wow

Love this. Hit play immediately. Jon Lord is brilliant on this.

Ellos son la mejor banda de hard rock de la historia..., increiblemente desconocida y subestimada en USA, cosas del merchandising. Una de las razones para que Zeppelin conectaran mejor en USA eran las la influencias del blues, country etc, mientras que en de Purple las influencias eran básicamente de la música clásica. Una anecdota..., le preguntaron a Yngwie Malmsteen que prefería si Zeppelin o Sabbath, su respuesta fue Purple. Saludos

One of the differences that Deep Purple from LED Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath is the musical passions of the individual musicians. In Ritchie Blackmore you had a guitarist who loved classical music, but approached blues and rock with the precision of a classical musician. In John Lord, you have a keyboard player who was a classical organist until he joined his first band in his late teens. In Ian Paice you have a drummer who was passionate about jazz and big band swing and carried that approach into heavy rock. To my ears Ian Paice is the closest that rock has come to having a Buddy Rich on drums. He is mostly underrated as a drummer, and every bit as great as Bonham.

@@FURDOG1961 he loved Buddy but more influenced by Joe Morello from Dave Brubeck. Carl Palmer could certainly swing, but was not playing hard rock through out most of his career. The closest band that he played with that was a heavier music was on the first Atomic Rooster album.

There best song on that album in my opinion, much more fun. It was from these three bands that Metal started, although you could say 'Helter Skelter' from the Beatlas was perhaps a precurser to Metal. All I can say is that this was when I was in my late teens and I feel sorry for everyone who grew up after this time 1968 to 1975. this was an awesome period the best. It is where it all started for me.

I always heard that when led zeppelin starting playing Keith Richard's said at the table that art to go over like a lead zeppelin aloha

Ritchie may be wrapped up like a douche, but did you know that Black Sabbath bit off the head of a bat on stage? How does one get one's mouth around a bat? Started at the small end I hope. They do make smaller toothpicks. Which is why Jon Lord may well be the special sauce. Ian has such a smooth voice too. And Ringo, what the Hell is he doing in the picture? Go Deep Sabbath! Journey of the Foreigner. "Kentucky Woman" is my favorite of the band.

If you liked lazy, you should sample the live cover by Joe Bonamassa and Australian legend Jimmy Barnes. Joe is a legendary US blues guitarist I’m sure you already know. Jimmy is an Aussie icon although born in Scotland. He has a sweet rock voice but prefers to belt it out like an old time blues singer with Max grit and dirt. He also has the control to make US soul singers weep with shock and delight. lol

I would go with their song, Burn next.

Thanks again, loved it :-) What I would like to say as a 1970`s music enthusiastic, is that note "the magnificient FOUR". Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin AND Uriah Heep. If you want some truly HEAVY and fat Hammond organ sound, try Uriah Heep. All those bands had a sound of their own, very recognizible each one. Cheers!
