Yes, yes yes!! That was my suggestion in my comment. Amazing song, and the guitar and keyboard solos in the middle section are to die for.

"Highway Star" or "Child in Time" should be your next Deep Purple song.

This is from their 1984 "reunion" album of the same name. After 9 years of inactivity, they came out with this great album. Check out another great song off this album titled "Knocking At Your Backdoor". By the way, I consider Ian Gillan's vocal style to be quite similar to Robert Plant's, with the improvised wails and moans.

Deep Purple .... Amazing Band , Ian Gillan - Vocals , the Great Richie Blackmore - Guitar , Jon Lord on Keyboards , Roger Glover on Bass , and Ian Paice on Drums

'Perfect strangers' came 12 years after the iconic album 'Machine head' in 1972, which delivered 'Smoke on the water' and other classics... In 1984, that Deep Purple line-up finally came back together for the first time since 1973 (Deep Purple carried on w/ new members until their breakup in 1976). All 5 members played in different projects - guitarist Ritchie Blackmore in the band Rainbow, which he later hired bassist Roger Glover... Ian Gillan played in various solo bands, including Gillan, and had just done 1 album & tour as the singer of Black Sabbath in 1983... Jon Lord (keyboards) and Ian Paice (drums) had spent a few years playing in Whitesnake w/ former Deep Purple singer David Coverdale. In the early 80's, the classic 5 members started talking about reuniting Deep Purple and that finally happened in 1984... they got together, recorded the album 'Perfect strangers' and toured worldwide into 1985, mounting a spectacular comeback. Unfortunately, the reunion would go sour by 1988, primarily because of guitarist Ritchie Blackmore's controlling tendencies and erratic demands... Ian Gillan wanted to tour actively, but Blackmore was not inclined to. Gillan later reflected that when they had 4 guys who wanted to be a band... and 1 guy who wants to run it all single-handedly, it doesn't work. He also recalled that because of missed opportunities to play live and Blackmore's erratic moods on stage, their concerts were not selling up to expectations. Gillan was fired in 1989 and the band recorded 1 album in 1990 w/ ex-Rainbow singer Joe Lynn Turner... But the rest of the band (minus Blackmore) wanted Ian Gillan back for Deep Purple's 25th anniversary in 1993... Ritchie Blackmore, frustrated w/ the musical direction, quit Deep Purple late that year... All 4 Deep Purple members were interviewed afterwards, and they all voiced their frustrations w/ the legendary guitarist... Jon Lord said that he would 'sulk like a little boy'... Ian Paice subtly said that if Blackmore went onstage w/ a problem, the whole band had a problem... Roger Glover grumbled that if he went on stage and felt like he didn't belong there cos they sounded so bad, he just wanted to run offstage and not come back... In 1994, Deep Purple hired former Kansas guitarist Steve Morse to join the band... and after a while, it proved to be the right decision. The band released the 'Purpendicular' album in 1996 and toured actively, w/ most of the issues gone. Ian Gillan revealed that once Steve Morse joined Deep Purple, they had a guy that made rehearsing and playing live enjoyable... and after a while, the fans accepted the change, crowds at their concerts got bigger and touring became a priority once again.

This was a reunion album in 84. They hadn't done an album since 75. In the meantime circa 81, a lot of these guys ended up in Whitesnake. For a couple years, Whitesnake had more Deep Purple members than Whitesnake guys lol This singer also sang for Black Sabbath for one album in 83

Some of the best parts of Deep Purple Music is how Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and Keyboard /Organist John Lord accompany each other note for note. That guitar part you talk about Jay is both a guitar and an organ matching notes .

A great example of early metal music! Deep Purple, along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, are known as the "unholy trinity" of hard rock and heavy metal. The lead singer is Ian Gillan (who later was the vocalist for Black Sabbath). Richie Blackmore wanted someone who could match the range & screams of Robert Plant, of Led Zeplin. Ian's, bone chilling, "Child in Time" is possibly more than what Plant could have delivered, UNBELEIVEABLE! "Child" is the pinnacle of Ian's vocal abilities! A must reaction! Live on the British TV show "Doing Their Thing" 1970 is the best to react to. One other unique factoid of Ian Gillan is he starred as Jesus, in Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock opera, "Jesus Christ Superstar".

Deep Purples signature distorted organ sound was achieved by plugging the output of their Hammond organ through a guitar amp to get the distortion. I agree that Highway Star should definitely be your next song by them.

" Knocking at your back Door" , "Woman from Tokyo", and " Highway Star" are all amazing songs by these guys.

Now in my “older age”, this is my favorite Deep Purple song. Sometimes I have to pinch myself over all the classic rock concerts I’ve seen. Saw this tour and saw when the same singer (Ian Gillan) was lead singer for Black Sabbath for one tour. His voice was as good as studio live both times. Absolutely primal. The staccato rhythm is in the spirit of Kashmir but with the creepy sounding keys in the background is so compelling and unique.

Deep Purple are one of the greatest bands in rock history. Their classic line-up of Ian Gillan - Lead Vocals Ritchie Blackmore - Guitars Roger Glover - Bass John Lord - Keyboards Ian Paice - Drums and Percussion Rod Evans did the Lead Vocals on their first 3 releases, the biggest hit of this era was "Hush". An absolute masterpiece with Lord's Keyboards leading the way. As I am not sure if you have reacted to, I will make suggestions based on my opinion. "Machine Head" is their perfect (every song is rippin') album. From "Highway Star" to "Smoke on the Water" to "Lazy" to Ash Williams' (Evil Dead franchise) favorite "Space Truckin", "Woman from Tokyo". When Ian Gillan and Roger Glover left the band they were replaced by Glenn Hughes on Bass and Vocals, and an at the time, unknown vocalist named David Coverdale, later of Whitesnake. The title track "Burn" is an absolute, no pun intended, burner. In 1984, the classic line-up reformed and gave us the album "Perfect Strangers". Opening with "Knocking at Your Back Door" to "Perfect Strangers". There are more great songs in their catalog, but those are some of my favorites. Deep Purple as a band are mentioned with the likes of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath as Heavy Metal pioneers. Thanks again for introducing great music to a new generation. You guys are awesome.

But this song is amazing. I saw the house they are recording in on one of the KZread videos that records abandoned mansions and this was one of them. They even talked about how there was a recording studio in the basement that Deep Purple would record in. Then I listened to Child In Time by Deep Purple and wondered if that was my favorite. There is no comparison to these guys. They are all incredible. RIP Jon Lord.

I got to see Deep Purple, with the Perfect Strangers tour, back in 1985 in Vancouver Canada as a 16 year old kid. What can I say? It was amazing, and is still my favorite concert I've seen. They are all so talented you don't know where to start, and the music just rocks. I still remember John Lord on his big Hammond organ rocking it back and forth as he played. I thought it was going to land in the front row!

Deep Purple,-(Woman from Tokyo) should be next for you guys. Keep up with the good work 😎👍

I saw Deep Purple on the tour that supported this album. They were all grown up and their musicianship during this concert was phenomenal.

“Burn” is definately a 🔥banger! (studio version please)

The voice is Ian Gillan. He's been the lead singer most of the history of Deep Purple. David Coverdale (of White Snake) took over for a few years (73-75) and Joe Lynn Turner (89-92) for a few. The lyrics were inspired from a character named Elric in a sword and sorcery series from the 70s by the author Michael Moorcock. Side note... Blue Oyster Cult has a song called "Black Blade" that comes from the same Elric character. He was known to wield a sword called Stormbringer that tends to possess the owner and cause them to do evil things.

Ritchie Blackmore came up with one of the most unique and catchy riffs ever created with this one.

This Album was their first album when they got back together after many years of being broken up. WHEN THEY GOT BACK TOGETHER THEY WERE LIKE PERFECT STRANGERS. You definitely need to review KNOCKINF AT YOUR BACK DOOR as well as MY WOMAN FROM TOKYO

If you do "Knocking At Your Back Door" make sure it is the official video! It pokes a little fun at anyone trying to recreate their music in the future. They make a similar point in this tune too. No matter how many tunes you hear from the old days, you still must remain perfect strangers to those days and in some ways to those of us who were there.

They've certainly had bigger hit songs, but this is my all time favorite song from Deep Purple. It rocks from start to finish.

I got to see them live right after they released this cd. I loved hearing all their hits, the show was great, but when they played this song it was AMAZING..! The sound was simply incredible, it was the best song of the show.

Perfect Strangers Straight Up the best comeback album from a legendary band period.There.I said it !!

Before I even start this song: LUV YOU LUV YOU. Two of my absolute favs on the same evening !! Lennon and Purple. Doesn't get ANY better. Amber, this was their comeback song after a nearly 10 year hiatus. All the lyrics reflect that they've been away, "Hope you remember my name"

This song and this band was one of the few that was ahead of their time. The way they used dischordant progressions and unexpected rythms. The smoking Guitar Riffs, and the voice that was otherworldly singing about mysterious things with mysterious rythms and a unique style. I just can't put it into worlds, but his vibe, was a thing, and still is, but this was where it came from. And a few other bands as well. They were all experimenting along these surreal lines. It was music, but it was also Epic Musical Storytelling. They brought you into the secret netherworld of magic and dragons and impossible tasks and unimaginable victories. Saga. Again, I can't find the words, but this was Album Rock that had a theme, and the theme was another world of adventure and sacrifice. Heavy Metal. And there is a movie called heavy Metal that is an animated movie with a Heavy Metal Soundtrack, and you guys should review it on your movie channel. It was a BIG DEAL back in the day. It may seem corny at first, but you will get into it and the music is great. Databyter ,

You guys were so deeply grooving during the instrumental (5/4, 4/4) part. The "intense, battle, heavy" part, as you described it. The time signature keeps the tension going.

The keys make it. Always loved this piece. It's hard. Meaty, deep, and trippy.

4:36 and what makes their heavy sound different from other bands is that they use an actual Hammond organ on and guitar amplifier turned up to where the sound gets distorted..

The most underrated band of all time. The best all time keyboardist, and top 5 drummer and guitarist. And band members that went in and out of several bands. Deep Purple, Rainbow, Ritchie Blackmores'Rainbow, Rainbow with Joe Lynn Turner, Dio, Black Sabbath with Dio, even Alcatraz. But Deep Purple's legacy is unmatched. U could call them the Godfathers of progressive rock.

Great song and comeback album by them, we saw that tour and Blackmore was on a mission to show everyone that Deep Purple was still alive and well. From the same album try Knocking at Your Back Door, another classic from a band with a boatload of them. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎹🎤🎶

Smoke on the water is the first hard rock song I remember hearing. My cousin had it on 8 track. The tour for this album I finally got to see them. It was an amazing concert.

Ian Paice tearing it up on 🥁. Deep Purple still on tour in 2022. A bit battle worn but at 73,75 years old they're still at it.

Highway Star,is a MUST DP at their best loud and heavy.best road song ever,Child In Time is also a ripper.keep up the great reviews you 2.have a good one guys.

Deep Purple Mark II rules!

This was a reunion in the 80s of the second Deep Purple lineup (Ritchie Blackmore guitar, Ian Gillian vocals, Roger Glover bass, Jon Lord keyboards, and Ian Paice on drums) which was the most commercially successful version of the band....

Perfect Strangers is the best! Thanks for covering!

Perfect Strangers is my 2nd favorite Deep Purple song. Space Truckin' is my first favorite song by Deep Purple. Knockin' on your back door is my 3rd song by Deep Purple, Highway Star is 4th on my Deep Purple list. And Smoke on the Water is my #5 favorite song from Deep Purple.

I saw them live in 84 in Adelaide , South Australia when this album was first released and they were absolutely amazing, better than the studio version.

Saw Deep Purple in concert back in the day. Phenomenal concert. I think your next DP song should be "Knocking at your backdoor." 🤘😎💜

Live version of Child In Time is a MUST. The vocal is absolutely outstanding and it’s hard to imagine anyone else even trying it.

Oh this song, brings back so many memories of when I was in the 10th grade in high school!!! GREAT song!!!!!

Highway Star has to be your next Deep Purple reaction. Don't miss it!!!

This was the first album they recorded after getting back together.. 8 years apart.. They are basically singing about how they moved through our lives with their music over the years.. "Van you remember.. Remember my name? As I flow through your life.. A thousand oceans I have flown.."..

I've been to over 200 concerts and this concert with Bad Company opening for them was one of the top 5 I've ever seen

As Beeracuda noted, the Mark IV lineup of Deep Purple reassembled and put the band back on the map. This was a dynamite album, and the next was, too. However the issues between Ritchie and the rest of the band continued until he left for good and put all his focus and energy into Rainbow and writing with Ronnie James Dio.

This was their return song after they reunited in the 1980's and it was an absolute powerhouse!!!!

Great band/Great Song! Saw them for this tour back in 1985. The original classic line up. Absolutely one of the best concerts i have ever seen and experienced. They ROCKED! Hollywood Sportatorium in South Florida.

Deep Purple comes on and my hands magically crank the sound to 11+ 🤘😎👍

Ohhhhhhh!!!! Hell yes! 🤟😝🤘 This was my young teens music!!! And it still kicks my ass!!!!

Classic mark 2 lineup, 3 albums from 1970-72, In Rock, Fireball and Machine Head, perfect trifecta, not many bands can pull that off.

This was the best Deep Purple lineup over the years. They had been estranged from each other for a very long time but buried the hatchet and came together for the Perfect Strangers album. You can see in the video they are getting along quite well. One of the all time great bands!

“Knocking at Your Back Door” will have you ready to charge through a brick wall.

Hi guys, love that u love Deep Purple keep exploring their discography! Jon Lord is smiling down on you from Rock n Roll Heaven!

One of the BEST REUNION Albums ever in Music History !!!

This was a bombshell drop in 1984. The classic Deep Purple Mark II lineup reunited after a nine year gap during which they collectively launched Rainbow, Whitesnake, and Gillan's successful solo career and then his disastrous turn with Black Sabbath. I'd argue the latter was the key to this project ever getting off the ground. That and Blackmore's Rainbow had run its course. Those two massive egos had to call a truce and come together to create something new and engaging. And that they did. The secret sauce was producer/bassist Glover (who had worked on Blackmore's Rainbow output) and the tremendous touch of Jon Lord, who was cleared bored by the bluesy stadium rock of Whitesnake.

All time classic riff. Great song, great choice guys.

"Highway Star" and "Space Truckin'" are two epic rock songs by Deep Purple that you should definitely check out! The album versions. No video necessary. They're so well recorded!

I was there live, felt the music moving through a stadium floor, while Chicago shook!!!

the 70's music the best years of deep purple with Ian Guillan the singer !!!

I loved this album. My personal favorite from the album was Knocking At Your Back Door. I highly recommend it and think that intro will just blow you away.

They are my all time favorite group and Ian Gillan is my favorite singer ever and \i saw them twice the first was cause I went to see Black Sabbath and I better enjoyed Deep Purple and saw them a second time. I was 22 when I first hear Ian and the guys and I'm now 71 and they are still y favorite group. My second favorite singer is Jimi Jamison who sang for Survivor and had a solo career and sadly died at age63. I find that most reactors do Eye Of the Tiger with Dave Bickler and I like it better by Jimi. You should listen to Man Against The World by Survivor I guarantee you will enjoy the song and many others by Survivor with Jimi singing

I always felt that this was underrated. I love it. Great to see it here.🙂🙂🙂

This was a great song. If you have not heard them yet, also check out from Deep Purple: "Maybe I'm a Leo" "Pictures of Home" "Lazy" 'Concerto for Group and Orchestra' (album, pioneered the blending of rock and classical music) "Burn" (David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes on vocals) "You Fool No One" (David Coverdale on vocals) "Mistreated" (David Coverdale on vocals...or the live Rainbow version with Ronnie James Dio on vocals) '

Y’all are so cool. You hear the best stuff! Perfect Strangers is an awesome song!

Love me some Deep Purple! Knockin' at Your Back Door is also a good tune from 80s era DP. They were consistently great from the late 60s to mid-80s or so. I think the running joke is that just about every musician has been in Deep Purple at one time or another 💜.

Omg!!! The summer of 1987 I started my first job as a dental assistant and actually bought my very first car and it was off the lot and I remember just driving all alone and as far as I could on a tank if gas listening to this CASSETTE over and over and over at fullblast!!! ❤

Deep Purple welcome to one of the greatest bands going.

Music from my senior year of High School. DP, the Cure, U2 and all the rest. The 80s were just an AMAZING time to be a teen.

The second single (released Jan 1985) from Deep Purple's 11th studio album, and the reunion of the Mark 2 line up (1970-1973) of Deep Purple after 11 years. The album reached number 17 on the Billboard Top 20 album chart. The lyrics to the song are said to be inspired by the sword and sorcery Elric books of English writer Michael Moorcock.

Child in time live from 1970 is an absolute banger that would amaze you with the vocals and musicianship
