First song I learned on guitar @11 years old.
Tampa Stadium summer 1973...
Songs like that drove me to 80’s metal the radio never stopped playing it and now I hope to die without ever hearing it again
Switzerland became the home of most British rock stars of the 1960s and 1970s due to the confiscatory taxes of post-war British socialists
There’s a Queen museum in Montreaux
I agree..it’s one of the best constructed chord assembly as well as the drum rhythm starts nicking in
This is their best song. Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. Think he also played the cello intro.

Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai......
One of my favorite bands in the 70s…
“”If you think it’s too loud, you’re too old.””

My favorite on the radio when I was a kid. About a decade later, when I was old enough, I saw DP in concert. They were great live.
I beg to differ.
And, this is *the one riff* (except for maybe stairway to heaven) NOT to play in a guitar store.
Deep Purple can wait...Where can I find a recording of that Frank Zappa and The Mothers show?
Deep Purple and Billy Preston...first concert I ever saw...early 70s..
Epic. One of the songs I practiced often when I got my Stratocaster at 13 years old. Classic Deep Purple never gets old.
yep, burned out the 8 track on this album :)
Entire Made in Japan album… the solos on Child in Time and Strange Kind of Woman are magnifique!
I love the Leningrad Cowboys cover of Smoke on the Water.

Roger Glover’s three-note run into his bassline is one of the most badass moments in all of rock music.
