Deep Purple
πŸ“€ Machine Head
#HardRock #HeavyMetal

50 years ago Deep Purple from London #UK, released their 6th studio album Machine Head.
The album went straight to n.1 in UK charts and had an immediate success in many other countries, confirming #DeepPurple as the leading band in the contemporary Hard Rock / Heavy Metal scene.
Machine Head contains many band's standards such as "Highway Star", "Lazy", "Never Before", "Space Truckin'", but it's the presence of "Smoke On The Water" (probably the most famous and identifiable guitar riff in rock history!!!) which made this album one of the best selling Hard Rock ever!

Deep Purple here:
#RitchieBlackmore – guitar
#IanGillan – vocals, harmonica
#RogerGlover – bass
#JonLord – keyboards, Hammond organ
#IanPaice – drums, percussion

Not only #DeepPurple founder and keyboardist 🎹, but one of the greatest composers of the past century and one of the main responsible of the fusion of Classical Music with Rock! 🀟
I was lucky enough to witness this performanceπŸ‘‡

Deep Purple
πŸ“€ Made In Japan
#HardRock #HeavyMetal

50 years ago Deep Purple from London, #UK, released their 2nd live album entitled Made In Japan.

Tracks were recorded live in Osaka and Tokyo during the first #DeepPurple Japanese tour in August 1972.

Despite the final result raising controversies within the band (some members were not satisfied with their performance), Made In Japan was a worldwide success, almost incredible for a live record, and it's still today considered a milestone in their discography and one of the all time best live albums!

Deep Purple here:
#RitchieBlackmore β€“ guitar
#IanGillan β€“ vocals, harmonica, percussion
#RogerGlover β€“ bass
#JonLord β€“ organ, piano
#IanPaice β€“ drums

Made of the best material taken from Pell first 4 albums, it also features a fantastic cover of #DeepPurple "Mistreated", with vocalist Jeff Scott Soto at his best🀘
