Jon Lord: I think I played it a bit better than that!
‘It isn’t me – so it isn’t the others.’
Jon Lord confirms that the socalled channel mixes of Hush recently uploaded to Youtube are fakes and do not feature Deep Purple.
Jon Lord writes:
‘Just thought you’d like to know that it isn’t me – so it isn’t the others – on those Hush separate channel things on The Highway Star.’
Unimpressed with the perpetrator’s work, he adds:
‘I think I played it a bit better than that!’
Deep Purple fans have discussed the origin of the three clips purporting to be Deep Purple performing Hush in 1968.
Thanks to Jon Lord for reading The Highway Star and for setting the record straight.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Anybody checked if it is the Funky Junction version.
August 12th, 2009 at 21:28Is it a tribute, then?

August 13th, 2009 at 11:13I don’t know if Jon Lord REALLY reads this site but if so, thanks for everything, DP’s keyboards are in safe hands with Don Airey, he would be the first person to cite you as an influence and nobody could pay you a bigger compliment.
August 13th, 2009 at 15:06Don’t forget they recorded a demo of this song one month before the definitive version.The demo was send to record companies in US and UK.
August 13th, 2009 at 15:36very funny moreblack!!!!
August 13th, 2009 at 16:32be happy with what you got man, after 40 years what you expect.
still dreaming to see ritchie jon ian roger and ian together?
forget man !
long live DP 2009!
These different sound channels from Hush comes from the videogame Guitar Hero II (which is a cover), probably ripped to play these songs on the PC. The Highway Star one is real though, which comes from the videogame Rockband, but features the original recording, with the same purpose as the one mentioned above.
Mystery solved!
August 13th, 2009 at 17:03Ah, thanks. As you say, mystery solved. I just found the vocal of Smoke… and that was pretty convincing.
Cheers
August 13th, 2009 at 19:42I knew it all along……a fake!
I think its JLT recruiting members for his next tribute act……..Deep Purple MK1
HEY JLT…….
You can fool the Rainbow fans……..But you dont stand a chance with the Deep Purple Fans
August 13th, 2009 at 21:39If Mr. Lord says it isn’t him I think he should know, if the Lord says so it’s “gospel”!
August 13th, 2009 at 21:40To elprupdeep
August 13th, 2009 at 21:43Smile!!lol
But someone wants to see markIII? series and we would see the shadow fué.duraria q d as a news program being Blackmore, and may even harm the Purple q current, I emphatically do not. q can about all the concerts mk, but nothing moore.un saludo
August 13th, 2009 at 22:08That explains the vocals in particular, as a pitch tone device must have been surely used, the kareoke type thingumy. The vocals sound close and the rest do resemble at least good musicianship but you can tell it’s not them on first listen.
August 14th, 2009 at 18:50Hello …
I’m posting “highway star (13 channels)” in mp3 on http://todopurple.blogspot.com

August 14th, 2009 at 23:21Hey Rascal
Do not speak for me , please…..
August 15th, 2009 at 10:19And I guess for lots of others….
Yeah, speak only for yourself, rascal!
Old punks don’t learn new tricks, they just
August 17th, 2009 at 14:45get more boring 😉
Well, now WE know that I m not alone in supporting Joe Lynn Turner in his endeavours……
What about a campaign to change the SET LIST of Over The Rainbow?!
I hate POWER, I always did, on Straight Between The Eyes there are tracks that are begging to be played
Tearing Out My Heart
Eyes Of Fire
I can do without Since You ve been gone as well…..
Its not their own and on Down To Earth I prefer Loves No Friend for example.
Btw, if Don Airey can give us a splendid rendition of Bad Girl I think JLT can too.
And where are Stranded and Firedance?
Please more suggestions…..
And Joe, NO PUN INTENDED, but…….
See ya around in The Netherlands on the 24th of October!!!!
August 18th, 2009 at 11:42What we do know is that the ‘moderators’ select which retorts are exceptable………
Priest @25……when you use the ‘WE’……………
August 19th, 2009 at 18:38‘Do not speak for me , please…..
And I guess for lots of others’
This is almost funny.
August 21st, 2009 at 13:35Ofcourse I was not referring to you.
Very obvious…..
‘Retorts’!?!…you need to get a life, dude, and fast!!!
August 21st, 2009 at 18:09Maybe you need to clarify any future comments that include ‘WE’.
Obviously
August 21st, 2009 at 20:56I will use the word WE whenever suitable, be sure of that.
September 16th, 2009 at 11:24The D.P. line up 2009 is an very good line up. And the fans has their chois to like it or not. The line up from 1972 or 1975 will never be the same as they once was, the same rule goes for Pele’ and Maradonna as well
