Deep Purple in Rock
Machine Head
I saw DP at the Orlando Sports Stadium in 1971, later at the Tampa Stadium. I really liked the old stuff with Rod Evans, but overall the period with Ian Gillian is my favorite.
While I know they ripped off the melody for Sweet Child in Time from It’s a Beautiful Day (Bombay Calling), it’s still kick ass.
To be honest, I never liked Black Sabbath anyway. Even without comparing them to DP.
I currently have Highway Star and Space Truckin’ on my Playlist.
Deep Purple.....going away!
