Who do you think is the most important Rock band of all time? Over the seven decades of Deep Purple’s existence, the band has gone through many personnel changes, with a total of 15 musicians who have been or are official members. Deep Purple has released 22 studio albums, and an amazing 43 live albums.

A little story for you. In my mid teens in the early 70's I worked for Jim Marshall in his Ealing shop, & became friends with several of Deep Purple's road crew. Ron Quinten, & Colin Hart in particular. As a result I would always go & hang out with them whenever DP played in or around London. On one occasion DP flew back from a US tour to reopen the Rainbow in Finsbury Park, they played 2 consecutive nights, & at the end of first night Ritchie smashed the Machine Head sunburst maple neck Strat. At the end of the show Ron & I took his Guitars to his dressing room. Ritchie was distraught when he saw the Strat & asked if it could be fixed. I suggested that I could take it into the shop the following day & see what I could do. The shop manager wasn't too pleased, but knowing how much I loved RB he allowed me to spend most of the day effecting a repair. Much Araldite later I returned to the Rainbow that evening & gave Ron Quinten the now playable Strat. At the end of that night during Space Truckin RB completely destroyed it. I was devastated!! I later became friendly with Roger Glover after he was sacked from DP, & swapped my Gibson Thunderbird Bass for one of his sunburst maple neck P Basses, & a Marshall Major. Sold him an ARP 2600 too, which was my biggest sale while at Marshall's. Lovely man & I'll never forget his kindness.

This is the best documentary about Purple ever. Great job.

My first concert----Evansville IN, in '71. I was right on the stage. Ritchie blew a string-and instead of the roadie bringing out a different guitar-he brought Ritchie a string. Ritchie had it strung within 30 seconds, in time to play the solo! After the show I hopped up on the stage and walked over and picked up the broken string as a souvenir. Nobody bothered me-no roadies-no security! Then I sat on the edge of the stage and talked to my friends. Those were the days. : )

Long awaited and well deserved video. My father, me and my 8yr old son all consider Purple the greatest band of all time. Absolutely timeless music.

[saulevans]

Purple the very best of all and I still listen to them almost every day.

I have to admit that I enjoyed many Deep Purple songs, though I wasn't a big fan. However, this great exposition on the band has given me a new appreciation. Thank you!

In 1973 my older brother bought Machine Head, and that record completely blew my ten year old mind! Fast forward 30 years and I'm the singer in a band that has the chops and the desire to play Highway Star. Which we did. Mind blown again!... And about the most fun I've ever had with my pants on :-)

[AnthonyCianfarano]

As a fan of Deep Purple for nearly 50 years, this is one of the most infomrative documentaries I have watched. Thank you!

[BunnEFartz]

I will go to my grave insisting Deep Purple will forever be the greatest live band in the history of music. Their improvisation skills were far above anybody else and still decades later you will never hear them play a song the same way twice.

[ILoveHellas]

This was the best ever presentation of Deep Purple's history. Congratulations Mr Marvellously Well !!!❤❤❤❤❤

[rsdouglass]

DP .. and Rainbow..still in the rotation...great..marvelous.. video, Warren!!

[winofile]

One of my favorite bands for this 13 year old in 1971! "Hush" made me ask who was that? "In Rock" "Fireball" "Machine Head" "Made in Japan" "Who do we think we are" "Burn" "Stormbringer" I was at Çal Jam What a time in music for this Head Banger!! I saw them in Long Beach in 73 in L.A. And "ELF" was the opening act, then ELO, the Purple! What a Thanks Warren!!!!

I'm 56 years old now and I remember perfectly listening to 'Smoke on the Water' in my older brother's car cassette player when I was barely 5, in 1973. Of course, I didn't have the faintest idea about hard rock and stuff like that, but, man, did I like that song. Parallelly, again thanks to my brother, I could listen to the very first version of 'Jesus Christ Superstar', sung by Ian Gillan. Same as before, I didn't have a clue who that guy was, I just knew I loved it.
Fast forward to the early 1980s, when I was a teenager and had begun listening to hard rock and heavy metal much more consistently. Evidently, I came upon DP and immediately thought, 'hey, I know these guys!' The rest, as they would put it, is history: soon I would grow obsessed with them, gradually bought or recorded all their albums, and there came the moment when it was clear to me that they are the best band ever. With all due respect to other gigantic bands, mind you (Beatles, Zepp, Sabbath... you name it), DP are just a differentl kettle of fish.
Many thanks to Produce Like A Pro for this informative and entertaining piece. Most DP documentaries barely cover up to their 'Perfect Strangers' reunion at the most, many not even that far, which is a shame. All the albums recorded with Steve Morse on guitar are on average pretty good and some of them perfectly on a par with their best stuff in the '70s, which means that the disregard with which some people treat those albums just doesn't make any sense. Let's hope that now with McBride things continue in the same positive direction

Gillan is Purple's Voice. Best ever purple's Documentary. Good Job

my parents possessing the Machine Head 25th Anniversary album is the reason I started playing music, and later obsessing with the idea of going to studio. AND, obsessing about the Rolling Stones truck and realizing later it literally recorded 70% of what I grew up listening to. And, the first band I ever played seriously with took me thanks to my playing of Smoke on the Water on drums... long story between DP and me.

Thank you sooo much for that video Warren

I literally spent my childhood taking my parents CDs and listening to Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Led Zepp, Black Sabbath and Genesis again, again, again, etc... Shape my ears haha

Deep Purple's "Highway Star" was the very first song played on 92 CITI FM here in Winnipeg in 1978 and the band's music has been well loved on the station.

[peterforrest]

I was there in the 70s...and they were indeed the unholy trinity of rock...with the likes of Uriah Heep at their heels. Warren...once again you have given us a brilliant video...immensely appreciated...

[chuckcribbs]

Their live album entitled Made in Japan, is to this day still one of the greatest live albums of all time. The production value of that album is amazing for 1973.

I really enjoy these old rock reviews.

I saw Deep Purple play live in late 60's they played a small gig in Birmingham (UK). Its was to promote Marshall Amplifiers. Came out of the building, ears ringing after being blasted to bits, took over a day for the lugholes to recover! great. Around the same time saw Led Zepplin live at the Birmingham Town. Our seats where on stage with the band just a few feet away. Little did we know then what giants of rock they would become. Great memories I will take to the grave.
