The Beatles' George Harrison on Deep Purple

George fondly recounts Deep Purple's December 13, 1984 concert in Sydney, Australia where he joined the band on stage for a delightfully raucous impromtu performance of "Lucille."

    I was there that night. Deep Purples Perfect Strangers tour in 1984. Ian Gillan introduced George on stage as their contestant winner “Arnold” from Liverpool. We all thought Liverpool out of west of Sydney and what competition was this?? Anyway George strolls on and they jam to Little Richards “Lucille.” I didn’t know it was Beatle George until I read the paper the next day. I don’t think anyone knew who he was apart from some of the lucky punters up near the front of the stage. Great night and great concert.

    Ditto. Still highly peeved I can't get Deep Purple's cover of "Ring Of Fire". That was the very first DP song I heard. I was in my car and had to pull off the road to listen to it. The only time I was affected like that was listening to Sgt. Pepper's. It was a cold night and I was breaking into a sweat by the time Fixing A Hole was playing. Bought it the day after it was in the record shops. Bought it unheard. I figured, if they put that much effort into the cover, imagine how the record would sound. I wasn't wrong.

    I saw Deep Purple in 1991, but the loudest concert I remember going to was AC/DC in 1985. I didn't find DP to be exceptionally loud, at least not compared to other bands I had seen. Maybe they had toned it down by the time I saw them.

    Grand Funk and Motörehad are the bands I've always seen mentioned among the loudest bands ever (also Slade, The Who, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin could be extremely loud, and even Pink Floyd). Besides, before the modern PA systems, the guys were fried themselves by their own stage amps/cabinets, hence most of them ended up having severe hearing problems (ask Roger Daltrey, Brian Johnson or Pete Townshend).

    Deep Purple Mk1 (1968-1969) who had Rod Evans as lead singer and Nick Simper on Bass, along with the core of Jon, Ian, and Ritchie did a great cover version of Help! off their first album Shades of Deep Purple, and "We Can Work It Out" off their 2nd album The Book of Taliesyn. Although their early sound was influenced by the largely organ driven band Vanilla Fudge the members of Deep Purple also acknowledged the Beatles as well, so George missed out on two great early DP records and a couple of Vanilla Fudge-like extended Beatles classics.

(everything is relative). By the way, in Eric, s autobio, when he remembers his friendship with George, he says something like... "once I moved to hurt wood, we saw each other quite often, because his house was only 1 hour drive from mine".... (👌)

I won’t go fully into it about Rod Evans but he was a good Vocalist too even though Ritchie Blackmore thought he was at best a Tom Jones and couldn’t do harder edge rock which was where DP was headed . This is called Mach I Deep Purple . After his firing Rod became Lead Vocalist for Captain Beyond and made two cult classic albums with them .
