It's ok but Born Again is way, way better. The album Ian Gillan sang on before Strangers. His voice on Born Again was absolutely INSANE! 😁 After that tour he never sounded the same again.

The first major rock band to do a full fledged reunion. All five original members ( Mark 2) reforming to pick up where the band left off with new albums, tours, etc. This is a major rock and roll historical moment.

I bought Perfect Strangers as soon as it was released. It Was a great album and a did Godsend as it saved us from the US hair hands. People forget that it was released at the end of 1984. 1984 being the year that Van Halen had their massive worldwide breakthrough bum.Eddie Van Halen was the gunslinger of the day. Perfect Strangers was the perfect album as it rescued us from the likes of Warramt, Ratt, Poison etc. It brought the better part of the 70's in an 80's way. I wish I kept it but I remember reading an article on how Eddie Van Halen cites Page and Joe Perry as his influences yet he blatantly ripped off Blackmore. This guitar playing critic then song by song explained how EVH stole from the man in black including the "hammer on." Àgain I wish i"d kept the article. I played the album Perfect Strangers repeatedly. Here in Australia we were proud of DP as they began their tours here and the video to the single Knocking on your Back Door was filmed in Sydney. Terrible video that burst the bible for Russell Mulcahey.

This was probably the peak of DP as a live act. all still young and energetic but mature enough to deliver a blistering show.

@SaulGoodman-w2x

4 жыл бұрын

No, it was not. The peak was inarguably in 1970-1972. After that 84-85 was pretty amazing but it got alwul shortly after that. Then the late 90s live tours were also amazing and it was a natural slow downward spiral after that.

@gutsfield3504

4 күн бұрын

Amazingly, this was their peak.Unfortunately We always judge it by Gillan and how smoking and whiskey have hurt his incredible voice. It didn't hurt it much since he hit the notes and went beyond. George Harrison was on stage with them at one point they were in their mid to late 30s. HARDLY OLD.

I was saddened went I heard. Jon Lord passed away RIP we miss you brother

No LP brings back more memories of my youth than Perfect Strangers.

This album has to be one of my all time favorites!!! Every song on this album was amazing, from the lyrical and melodic standpoint, especially the RIFFS!!!!

"Mean Streak" isn't any good. Outside of that one song, this stands alongside all the Mk. II Seventies albums.

One of my absolute favorite bands, that i sadly never got to see.

I think that the best concert that I ever saw was Deep Purple when they reunited on the Perfect Strangers tour. I got to see them in Baltimore, Maryland at a small club called Hammerjacks. What made it so great is being right up against the stage close to where Jon Lord was playing but all of the band members were all close. It was good that nobody tried to get up on the stage and instead just enjoyed watching them jam. How it would be nice to relive that day.

I had the privilege of seeing this tour. Still one of the best shows Ive ever seen!

Excellent band and an awesome album !!

I was 13 years old when my sister took me to see this tour in the Tacoma Dome. It was breathtaking.

Absolutely mind blowing , I couldn’t take my eyes out of the footage , I love that era , they were at they peak wise and secure of who they were. It’s not hard to figure out that those guys are highly intelligent beings, omg how they answer the media questions and how they put them in they places when they try to manipulate the band outside the music , it’s amazingly beautiful, I love that early middle age 8O’s fashion and style , it’s an awesome time for them to be at in Rock’n’Roll history, those were great times right there Guns’n’Roses were cementing they legacy just around the corner to take further the Depp Purple legacy over to that generation, DEEP PURPLE is sublime , my very first Hard Rock band that I got into at very young age , it’s so awesome to watch this thank you so much ! All the best from Australia 🇦🇺

Ritchie's wig is a testament to true power.

I was there in Adelaide 1984, it was awesome! It happened to be Ritchie Blackmores' birthday, and we all sang "Happy Birthday" to him, unabashedly tunelessly. He almost smiled! This is by far Deep Purple's best line-up, the best songs and albums.

DP in their Prime IMO. All those years they matured as musicians. Arguably their best album I think & Perfect Strangers their best song \m/

Ritchie is foudner DP as Jon. Ritchie can`t loose his belt when Ian and Roger join band. I know Gillan mentionate Blackmoore often best guitarist, but very difficult person. After many singers, JR Dioo also told same story. Ritchie Blackmore is great musician and one of best guitarist ever, but no team player. With his sweet wife he can work, its great for all music lovers. DP continue with Ian Gillan, best voice ever.

Arguably THE BEST Deep Purple album - start to finish.

What a great tour! I miss the 80's...Steve

Deep Purple is Heavy Rock Father's Heavy rock Music history!

I saw them in '72 and '84 and was not disappointed . Mark 2 is, and always will be my all time favorite band. If you like Deep Purple God bless you. If you don't like Deep Purple God Bless you anyways. For all you trolls saying stupid things about this band please go watch Led Zepplin or Guns and Roses and leave us DP fans a lone.

DP Mk 2 was very good the first time, but by the reunion, they were a well oiled machine at the top of their game. Got to see both tours, Perfect Strangers and House of Blue Light, and their best music was done during this period, beyond a doubt, but I'm also a big fan of the early Rainbow with Dio and the late Rainbow with J. L. Turner, and without Richie's flighty diva attitude, we might not have been treated to these eras. I think Richie has fired every musician he has worked with at least once (excepting maybe his wife).

Gillan, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love Deep Purple. Ian Gillan was the man and so SEXY. Even today I wish I would have the privilege to meet him and his wife.

I was lucky enough to catch 2 shows on this tour, one in Indianapolis and the other in Chicago. They were in top form especially in Chicago. Looking back I'm really glad I went.

It can be presumed that any Musician who's reach a certain maturity (age) cannot, realistically, perform at the same level as they once had over a century ago. That being said, go to a Deep Purple show, or any show for that matter, with a realistic expectation. I am glad to see that they are still with us, and can give us a semblance of what ingenuity in music, production and performance are like.

I caught them on this tour at Merriwether Post Paviliion in Columbia, Maryland. At one point I noticed a buddy busy stuffing two broken-off cigarette butts in his ears and my other buddy standing there frozen and just kinda vibrating. We had all been in garage bands, had done local gigs and had seen many major concerts by this time, but it was so loud that I almost couldn't make out the song at times (in spite of being the huge Purple fan that I was). But the show was fantastic - no special effects, just awesome individual musicianship, super tigjht ensemble playing and great songs. During the guitar/vocal duel of "Strange Kind Of Woman" Ritchie played a lick and Ian hesitated, looked at the crowd and said "I think I know that one" then proceed to do it.
