Some huge holes in his solos, but otherwise, quite adroit at IMMITATING Blackmore, although WAY out front in the mix. I saw Deep Purple perform this live right after Machine Head was released. Blackmore was THE MAN & this guy wishes he could just carry his jock. Over & out.

A brutal sound too!Simon is by far the best guitar player Purple has ever had.Of course Ritchie was great 50 years ago but was always a one trick pony.Simon can play anything.

Awesome to hear my fave band still rocking strong. Great tune, Simon has the touch to bridge the classic purple legacy and keep it current. Keys were great, the rhythm section the best as always and Gillian still knocking it out of the park.. which I was on that cruise

Great performance. Deep Purple is still alive. Congratulations boys !

Awesome Deep Purple. My most favorite band ever .

My first true and last love DEEP PURPLE lots of love to all the guys ever since I heard made in Japan and first saw them at knebworth on the perfect strangers tour...RESPECT

Man, Simon is just totally owning this gig... Fantastic to see.

This guitarist is so AMAZING, DEEP DEEP PURPLE IS ROCKING !!!!!!!

Never thought I would enjoy hearing anyone other than Ritchie play Deep Purple songs. Then I heard Simon. Wow. Just wow.

Pace and Glover always kill it. The guitarist is awesome! Keyboards awesome! What a great sounding lineup

It's great to see them all smiling and being their best Deep Purple.

Amazing to see these guys still out there and making an old classic tune still sound fresh.

I haven't seen Simon play that much but by god he's come along way his confidence has sky-rocketed he's relaxed and getting better and better he's not Morse, or Blackmore and neither he should be he's who he is but he's rockin that stage 🎸.....his giving that band a new life....

Great guitar playing and tone!!

I have huge respect and admiration for Steve Morse. Yet, this guy captures the spirit of the earlier songs for sure. Nice Ritchie attitude with his own character. Don also plays with a lot of "Lord flavor"

@maxmeister5064

Yes, it's absolutely refreshing to be treated back to some more of Ritchie attitude. And Don is simply the best in the world. It always used to be Lord, Wakeman and Emerson were the big three of RnR keyboards, wasn't it? But Airey is as good as all three put together!

what a greatful guitareplayer - WOW !!!

Love it, great Guitar work!

Simon is a super guitarist. I absolutely agree with you. he brought that flair. which was under the great Blackmore.

First heard the song on the Quadrophonic album version of Machine Head in 1972. 50 years later this song still sounds good albeit for a cell phone recording. Saw DP play Melbourne in 1984. Ian dropp ed axstick and chased it with his hand over the toms. He did not lose time as this occured. A memorable night on the Welcome Strangers tour downunder. Cheers and thanks for the upload. 🥁

In my point of view he doesn’t fit in the band. I have no sentimental reason to follow DP anymore, since Gillan lost big percent of his voice. I regret he doesn’t quit and give his place for a younger singer. About my dumb remark,just listen how Lukather plays with Ringo when they performing Beatles songs…..
