The guitar in particular does not have the vintage sound of the old ES-335 used on the original, and the organ also lacks authenticity.

I would say this is a tutorial recording of the type you can get to learn to play guitar–the kind in which one version has the guitar in the mix and the other does not.

It’s not Deep Purple.

Your link surely directs to some more very funny ones, for example the Kiss vs Michael Jackson clip, hehehe

@41 I heard that also, didn’t know the year and date though…Thanks!!

The guitar keys are different,better to say that on this viseo does not exist: after the first key there is a short feed back,they are different at his end

The keyboards plays different mainly on the solo,
also in the beggining before Evans the “chicken” sound of keyboard are differents..

the drumming sounds different..on the original version there is more reverb,echos

this is what I think..

i agree with you..but at the same time I think that
all this make me thinking about
false production on sale for unpublished branded songs / new versions..

Am I saying a stupidity or there is a real danger of this kind music piracy?

ciao Friends

Having listened to the Highway Star “In Channels” This is getting scary! As I said earlier, it’s impossible to say that these are genuine but boy do they sound real! As i said previously, it’s not the specific performances, it’s more the remarkable attention to detail. Not just impersonantions…the tone of the Strat on Blackmores track sounds seasoned and you litterally would have to find the original Marshalls he used and then process/record them in exactly the same way. you then have to find five guys who can impersonante Purple to that degree…Stunning!

Hi PurplePriest:)

You are right…Perhaps the management should come forward under these circumstances. It would put us all out of our misery.

Musicians can be very protective when listening back to there own work “dry and Naked” especially when they were young and inexperienced. I’m sure Jon is sincere in his statements, but has he ever listened to his keyboard part in “Hush” solo’d before? If he has, it would be unusual…

Hi Jeff

I must admit, like many others, I did NOT hear it from bandmembers or being present, WISH I HAD BEEN!!!!, but read it in books and so on about the band.

I regularly voice my frustration about what and who to believe or not….
Regardless who is saying what.
I mean…..They themselves have spoken out that stories contradict, amongst other reasons that some people like to stir up things.

In the meantime, one is being influenced by all those writings and integrates it in ones idea about things…..
Sic….

@ 29 Nick Simper?! You must be joking ofcourse….

On the whole I felt from the beginning THIS was not THEM but unlike some others I cant technically explain why.
I just recognise it or not, multichanneled and so on or not…..

But ofcourse, Rods voice was close…..But not close enough, hehehe

really.I don’t know if this is a new trend,I think it is just a idea from a dj…

this is the guy that make this ironmonkey

this is just a curiosity to me,this is not my
kind of music..it is just a discovering..

Magnus…Perfect timing does not make a great musician. there are many aspects and one of the most important is fitting in with the nuances of your band mates. Musos are not machines and when under studio pressure sometimes we are not perfect! I have been mortified with my own timing when “soloing” my own work in the past, however, when you sit it in the track it works:)

I would dearly love to know if these files are real and if not I’d like to meet the impersonators…they are something else!

I mean the vocal ‘Smoke On the Water’ track. I think that must pretty much be the end of discussion ‘Machine Head track wise’. Listen to the other tracks as well. I’d say these are all original.

I’m sure, that could have been made from the (or a) four-channel-recording of the song.

But why the intro (wolves) and the last notes are missing?

Interesting for me is that you can hear some “wind-noises” on the second mix like in the original mix. So its sounds original -

but:
the singer is NOT Nick Simper, I’m pretty sure.

Nevertheless, well done and intersting. The guitar is great. But it should have bneen stated were are the recordings come from.

It would be nice to have a mix of these schannels together (mono).

A multi-channel mix of “Highway Star” from “Machine Head” exists.
Google for “Highway Star” “mogg-file”. There you can play every channel alone and it’s no fake. e.g. Big Ian is clearly singing. I wish a multichannel-DVD of each recording would surface for fans. the Highway Star mix is so interesting!!!

Purplepriest, I heard that DC’s band “The Government supported DP in 72 and Jon asked for DC’s phone number - just in case.

Read on:
http://www.thehighwaystar.com/thsblog/2009/08/12/jon-lord-i-think-i-played-it-a-bit-better-than-that/

give’s more?

But it could be a great backing track for a guitar hero !

One intriguing example of a story or history in the making or not is one by Jon Lord.

Did HE really hear David Coverdale for the first time on THAT TAPE when they were looking for a replacement for Ian Gillan?
Or is true what CG said somewhere?
That Jon perhaps would not like the REAL story becoming a legend that HE actually did hear DC years before ?

But I also feel Jerry is right.

Although it really made me scratch my head, I also dont think this is THEM.

It’s a good fake but a fake non the less.

I asked to my self the same thing you say when time ago I listended this
http://www.linearock.it/rl/linearock/musicnews.do?id=31068

I tried to start these 3 videos at the same moment,just to think to be on mixing for a short time..I failed!!! gggrrr

hey guys,

who can tell me, how I can split the simple (guitar) parts of a song.

Ritchie Blackmore is the greatest …

But DP are not very know for ‘quick’ movings, risks or choices…
