Good day! My name is pierluiggi and I come from my home. Oh no, wait, let me do that again.
I am pierluiggi and I want to write about my favorite band, along with Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden, which is the superb Deep Purple. Deep Purple is one of the most important and influential rock bands, not only of the seventies but in the history of music.
Thanks to the genius and technical skill of Deep Purple, the classical approach and sounds were combined with the time and rhythm typical of Blues and Rock and Roll. It is said that during the concert that gave birth to "Made in Japan," singer Ian Gillan's voice was measured in decibels during the famous high notes of the song "Child in Time." It is even said that at the moment of the highest high note, the decibels he generated (together with amplification) were compared to those generated by a departing airplane. And indeed, I want to talk about this legendary live album that my uncle gave me for my birthday.
My favorite songs are "Child in Time," "Smoke on the Water," and "Highway Star," which are immortal, but even the rest is super cool.
I recommend everyone listen to the good old music like Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Rainbow, Dio, Dire Straits but not today's awful music like Korn, who make music just to make money.
They want to make lots lots of money and they are just noise. Listen to Deep Purple.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Black Night (06:19)
Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see dark night
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
02 Speed King (04:34)
Good Golly, said little Miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rockin' to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real
When she didn't do her daddies will
Come on baby, drive me crazy--do it, do it
I'm a speed king you go to hear me sing
I'm a speed king see me fly
Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about ain't gonna save
Some people gonna rock some people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans
Good Golly, said little Miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rockin' to the east and west
Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans
I'm a speed king you go to hear me sing
I'm a speed king see me fly
03 Lucille (07:27)
Lucille, please come back where you belong,
Lucille, please come back where you belong,
I've been good to you baby, please don't lead me along.
I woke up this mornin', Lucille was not in sight,
I asked my friends about her but all their lips was tight,
Lucille, please come back where you belong,
I've been good to you baby, please don't lead me along.
Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart,
Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart,
I played love with you baby,
And gave you such a wonderful start.

"Made In Japan is a continuous succession of pearls of absolute beauty and aggressiveness."
"Made In Japan is rock, nothing more. Period."
By Mandrocker
"'Made In Japan' portrays the mark II at the peak of its creativity, form, and synergy among the members."
"Ian reaches those high notes with terrifying power. History!"
By Sket
This album represents a milestone in live hard-rock, and it’s probably the best live recording ever made.
Gillan’s voice is aggressive and rocking, and Blackmore’s chord progressions give a sense of swagger, very rock-like.
By hellraiser
This live album is a sonic monster still unmatched today, shining for over forty years.
It is common opinion that the live recorded tracks took on a new and more powerful fascination compared to those from studio albums.
By R13569920
The masterpiece of the Purple sound, especially live, is indeed Blackmore’s instrument, and it’s not even the sound engineers’ skill; it’s Ritchie himself working superbly.
The main merit belongs to the band itself, playing at their peak while carefully separating parts and distinguishing roles, no one goes above the others.
