Burn was a sensational album.
You Fool No One and Sail Away are 2 of my all time favourite Deep Purple songs!
For me Burn was the final classic Purple album. I'd say Blackmore and Paice were at their studio peak, their playing was sensational. Lord as always was epic and the new boys were an enviable tag team on vocals. One of the best Purple album artwork as well.
Aww no debate I just love Deep Purple and don’t care what anyone thinks! Their music I still listen to every other week! Rock On! I so wish to be back in the 70s again! Cheers to everyone checking out Deep Purple after all these years ❤
Burn is an absolutely fantastic album. But I wander why everyone keeps forgetting about the Sail Away track? To me that was one of the best tracks on the record.
Sail Away always get attention from Me.
Влад Борисыч No kidding eh? That is indeed a fine track. I think it has a standout characteristicto it. Cool riff, cool melody, nice harmonies...!
Sail Away is one of my favorites, although I often think my iPod has shuffled to a Soundgarden track when it come up.
Влад Борисыч They should've forgotten the last track
Влад Борисыч On the 30th remaster album the extra material is remixes of "Burn", "Mistreated", "You Fool No One" and indeed "Sail Away". Remixes of the four greatest tracks that is.
I love the pure aggression of 'I might just take your life' . Burn and Stormbringer are two of my favourite DP albums
dealer is another great song
I also adore Stormbringer, but find myself as something of an outlier with that opinion.
That one critic who said (10:34) that Gillan buggered off to sing the lead in Jesus Christ Superstar (towards the end of Mark II DP) doesn't know what he's talking about. Gillan did JCS back in 1970, at the BEGINNING of his time in DP.
Very true...i picked up on that aswell
@Chris Manzi I HAVE THE DEEP PURPLE MADE IN JAPAN ALBUM, CD and 8 Track.. .. When you look at the total sales and its says 47,387,293... Im the 3..
@Chris Manzi Also, Glover didn't decide to leave, he was fired.
and roger glover didn't leave..he was sacked
@@mnbv990 Not sure about that. Who is supposed to have sacked him ? Not Blackmore, why else would he pick him up again later for Rainbow ? What's your source ?
Loved this song when it came out in 74. I love it now, despite DP not doing the song live in concert. Happily, it seems that Whitesnake & Glenn Hughes still perform this wonderful song live. Richard
Stormbringer? Lackluster? Bollocks. It's a brilliant album.
Meh.
Yeah, some of the people in this video think their own opinions are gospel
@@daisychain8622 meh indeed
It's not bad, but IMHO the worst of the Mk. 2 and 3 albums. If they had replaced the funky songs with heavier songs, it would have been much better.
I agree. I love Stormbringer. The title track is Mark 3’s peak I think....
made in japan is the best deep purple live ever made..great!
I don't personally agree with the critic who said: "there were two geniuses in Deep Purple: one was (of course) Ritchie and the other being Glenn Hughes" that's not entirely true cause he forgot to mention the pillars of the Purple sound, who made it distinctive and unique through the ages which have been Jon Lord & Ian Paice, both excelled on their instruments beyond standard
Burn is a fantastic Purple album. Each song is a classic in its own right - from 'Mistreated' to 'You Fool No-one' both great live tracks. It's a much under-rated album and the title track is an all time classic rock song. The number of cover versions are a testimony to this - second only to 'Highway Star' as one of the many outstanding Purple live tracks.
I disagree with the pundit who reckons they should've split after releasing Burn. No Gypsy, Stormbringer, You Keep On Moving? Amazing tracks that have enriched my life.
I agree with you swordghoti and you forgot the brilliant Soldier of Fortune.
If Blackmore put 50% in. Stormbringer would have been a classic like Burn. To this day, I wonder what riffs and solos ended up on the first Rainbow album.
i agree, dealer from come taste the band is awesome as well.
A masterpiece album! No other comment, opinion or critique needed. Thank you!
Deep Purple is my number one favourite band ever and ever..i love black night song..
Space Truckin' ruined a lot.
Mr. Tauber makes a great point here. No band making a record ever intentionally puts "filler" on an album. Maybe critics and fans would call a song "filler", but never the band themselves. If they didn't have a good feeling about a song, they would never have put it on the album in the first place
I'm with Paul, these guys really didn't know what happened with the band and made a video with high producion values where they told everyone they didn't know, and their opinion that doesn't mean much! Burn was and is an awesome album and for a teen Ian Gillan fan that I was I didn't mind and really liked Hughes and Coverdale as the voice of the band, at the time and now. These guys often bag on my favorite songs Deep Purple did, so there you go.
Burn is my favorite Deep Purple album from the 1970s! I think it's solid top to bottom. Coverdale and Hughes were great additions to the band and Ritchie Blackmore reached new heights with his guitar playing. Highlighted tracks are You Fool No One, Mistreated, Burn (title track), and Lay Down, Stay Down. My close 2nd favorite is In Rock. I just think Burn has more depth and the solos were more layered.
Don't get me wrong, most of this review is admirable, however, since it advertises itself as 'independent' having John Mccoy who played in Gillan saying nothing but slander against non-Gillan Deep Purple is not appreciated.
Burn is brilliant and Stormbringer most definitely isn’t lackluster!! Both are among my top five Purple records.
Best Purple album. Period, end of story, exclamation point. There, i've said it!
Cool! Glen Hughes seems an honest, level-headed person. I like that.
This was part of the soundtrack to my misspent youth. Still love it.
I am an "In Rock" record absolute fan, but "Burn" is a very good record indeed!
still to this day one of the best albums they ever did what a lineup I love it andi love the live albums of this line up too you just can't beat them
It would be nice if the people being interviewed knew what they were talking about, Gillan left to sing on Jesus Christ Superstar? He sang that in early 1970 before In Rock was released.
Good point there ! We bought JC Superstar before Deep Purple in Rock - 1970 and 1971'
Ian did that in the late 60s wtf
I agree. There's this guy at the beginning who calls DP Mk1 a "popish-rockish thing". Right, the band that made "Anthem" and "April" wasn't a progressive rock band, apparently.
@@MinorCirrus That band no, but that's the same band that covered Kentucky Woman, River Deep Mountain High, Hush, Help, and Lalena. But yeah, the original material they recorded was closer to prog rock than pop, Mandrake Root, Anthem, Listen Learn Read On, Didn't Rosemary, Chasing Shadows, and of course April.
Yea they got that wrong. Ian didn't sing in public again after 1973 until 1975 on Butterfly Ball TV version of Sitting In A Dream before recording Child In Time solo album, then Clear Air Turbulence, then Scarabus.
10:20 Misinformation. Gillan did not quit Deep Purple to sing Jesus Christ Superstar. That album came out in 1970, the same year as In Rock. Eejit.
Gregory Jewell was going to post this myself, but it's all taken care of 👍🏻
That's right! And he also said; virtually in the same sentence; that Glover left because Gillan left. That's not the case either. Glover was actually pushed out of the band. Blackmore was half contenplating the formation of an all new band allready back then, and made an ultimatum that he'd only stay on in Purple if Glover left as well. This is readily available info (Glover has mentioned this in several interviews over the years, and it's also accounted in Chris Charlesworth's biography of the band that came out in the early eighties), at least for several of the guys participating in this video. The casual fan may not know every tidbit, but these guys should at least research the facts, being "journalists" etc...
Possibly the best album they made
Due to my age (born in 64) I came into contact with DP in the late 70s already after their termination. Therefore I never had problems with the "new" MkII lineup vs. the "classic" MkII and honestly, for me "Burn" and "Stormbringer" were always my favorites along with "Machine Head". Especially the bluesy and funky style which they mixed into the hard rock lifted them off from their "direct competitors" Sabbath and LedZep. Even "Come Taste The Band" (MkIV) was a cool album, still a bit funkier, although Ritchie's exit left a huge gap (no question). It's a pity that Tommy's and Glenn's addiction finally destroyed the band. Could have been still some amazing pieces of music if the project were continued with the MkIV lineup.
What’s Going on Here is a killer song. The back and forth vocals are excellent. It’s no more a filler track than Maybe I’m a Leo, (which I love too).
Can they sensor Malcolm Dome's teeth with a black filter over the film.
How is it no one notices that Who Do We Think We Are is a fantastic record? How can that record get slammed? It is awesome. And it rocks. Go back and listen again.
Stormbringer was a "lackluster" album? Oh, please; it was in the same league as any Mach 3 album. In fact, it quickly became my favorite in '75. .
There were only two Mark 3 studio albums...
It was a letdown the critic was right. No GILLAM no stand out tracks it was " bye bye" deep purple.
@@markr.devereux3385 Stormbringer is a great album. Especially the 35th anniversary edition. The original album sounded thin. The remix really brings the album alive.
@@TheSteveSteele I'll agree it definitely was a deep purple album. Cheers
I liked it at the time, but not in it's entirety, and I wasn't in love with it like with the others.
When I look at it in retrospect, I still hold the trilogy albums as the ultimate Deep Purple music.
I like Glenn Hughes on Trapeze way better than with Purple. I had no love lost for Coverdale, and never will. I will always see him more or less as an imposter.
Come Taste The Band was the continuation of the Purple decline and slide into some incomprehensible attempt to mix hard rock with some stupid pop
Structuraly.
Stormbringer was basically album that's remembered only for the title track, and then it all fell apart.
All the talking heads can say whatever they want but the DP peak was those 3 albums, everything else simply doesn't come close.
I still play In Rock, Fireball and Machine Head quite often to be remind myself how the raw, but sophisticated hard rock should sound.
I hardly ever play any of their other albums, although I have them all.
Having said all this, my ultimate hard rock that I still can't get enough of even to this day, is Jericho -Jericho, recorded in the same era (1972). Although not recorded with best sound quality, it is masterfully performed and with phenomenal use of power elements that make great hard rock what it is.
Fantastic video!!
splendid review dude
Does anyone else get the feeling when listening to Glenn Hughes speaking that he actually feels that he thought that he had become leader of the band? He talks in terms of ' what I lead the band into' and 'what I gave the band' when in fact he still had to do what Blackmore wanted. Much as I admired Jon Lord I feel that he was one for not upsetting anybody, he didn't stick his opinions in hard enough which led to Blackmore being in charge.
Like it or not, Hughes never rose beyond being a hired hand. Blackmore, Lord and Paice decided what’s going to happen with the band, and after Blackmore left it was Lord and Paice who made the decisions.
After that dreadfull last concert with Bolin where a furious Coverdale stormed into Lord and Paices dressing room and claimed that “I’m leaving the band” they could tell him that he was too late. They had finished the band five minutes earlier.
Terrible review. Half of it is filler talking about other albums and the other half is a bunch of unknowns prattling on about how "bluesy funky soulful" coverdale/hughes were. I came here looking for a critical review of each song from a musicians point of view. . discussing things like composition and musicianship. Not just a bunch of aged rockers saying they either like the album or don't. Ultimate critical review my arse.
I agree! The album is solid top to bottom. No filler. Each track deserves discussion and appraisal.
Ritchie didn't like the vocals of Evans. Then he didn't like the vocals of Gillan. Then he got what he wanted with 2 guys, and he got bored and left. He's fussy and hard to please, but that's probably what always gave him the edge he needed to play like he did. At least he always wanted to make sure the fans were happy, so that's cool.
Burn on Made in Europe is as good as it gets. Hear Glenn howl like a wolf in the second break... true genius.
The thing that impressed me about Purple is that all of their replacements were radically different: Evans/Gillan/Coverdale/Turner.
Simper/Glover/Hughes.
Blackmore/Bolin/Morse and Lord/Airey.
There were never any impressionists in the band, everyone made their statements regardless of how popular/resented they were.
People often mention Tommy Bolin in the UK and how bad it sounded: I've heard bootlegs and it wasn't Tommy who was the problem, it was Glenn. He was half out of his mind with cocaine addiction and wasn't looking after himself.
Had people seen and heard MK4 in Australia they wouldn't have missed Ritchie at all. According to Jon Tommy was playing like a god and the crowds loved him.
It started to go wrong in Jakarta, they never really recovered from that.
It was a treat growing up through these times. When I first heard Burn at the Cal Jam which was televised here in Canada it was so awesome. I was already a Deep Purple fan in fact back then they were my favourite and I had DP In Rock and Machine Head albums. After Burn I think they sort of faded away for me.
You Fool No One - vocals kick ass more than most any other Deep Purple song.
This lineup was the first real rock concert I ever saw. Stunning. Immediately purchased the album, and loved it. Years later, I revisited it, and found new things that stunned me. IMO it's one of the unique albums of rock; there's really nothing else like it.
The Burn tour was my first concert too. Where did you see the show? I saw it in Houston at the Astrodome. It was awesome! So loud, so epic. I have several cool memories about the show. Blackmore and Hughes both had natural wood finished Fenders (which looked cool). And there was a lot of pot smoke floating about in the Astrodome.
very cool to both-I too saw this incarnation as my first-Brilliant stage show! Vancouver Canada
That opening live performance. They're on it !!
Long ago, in 2001 I collected what is, on my opinion,
100 best songs of 20th century. My collection includes
6 Beatles songs, 5 Queens songs, 4 Pink Floyd, many more.
Crucial point was, which song starts my collection...
I decided, the BURN must be the first. It tells all.
A 200 is magic, I love this tune and it simply great instrumental.
I wouldn't go as far as calling it "magic", but it certainly has its merits, no doubt about that.
Lay down Stay down has always been a favorite. Oh my that guitar solo!!!
Burn is definitly one of the Greatest Albums in Rock History, one can only imagine what Deep Purple MK3 would've achieved without drug addiction by a couple of members. D.P MK1 MK2 Crew were drug free, they were happy wit beer whiskey n ciggarets, the results speak 4themselves, In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, including the Greatest Live Album in Rock History, the insane, Made in Japan
My favorite studio record.
Rock Critics Are The Pimples On The Arse of Rock
Glenn Hughes is a Great singer yesterday and today.
Who do we think we are ... was a very good/great album by most other bands standards. It’s just that it followed Machine Head, possible one of the best rock albums ever.
The guitarist Steve Vai (no slouch) loves the WDWTWA album as so I . For one it’s beautifully recorded/produced. It doesn’t have the edge/ innovation/ ideas that the prior albums had. This was for perhaps a sole reason .... Ian Gillan had handed his notice in a year before they started recording it. Give it a listen there are many great moments and passages to enjoy.
I love the band dynamics of DP, the different sounds of the various line ups. Listen to Machine Head (MKII), Burn (MKIII), CTTB (MKIV), Pefect Strangers (older mature MKII), Battle Rages On (even older mature MKII), Abandon (MKV gels), Bananas (MKVI Don Airey's first DP record). I hope they invite a surviving members to RHOF!
02:03 john McCoy "Burn isn't really my favorite." What a twat. Everything that Deep Purple ever did was of considerable musical importance. What with one of the greatest rock drummers of all time in the band. Enough said.
Ian Paice is terribly under appreciated. Every bit as great as Bonham, Mitchell, Moon, & Baker. The only other drummers that are as overlooked are; Dino Danelli and Mick Tucker.
JDS you forgot Clive bunker.
True! He deserves more respect. Why did he part ways with Jethro Tull?
Mick Tucker epitome of the wave of 70s drummers. A real star & perfectionist on the kit. Love that guy
Don’t forget that McCoy played in “Gillan”.
It might have coloured his objectivity.
Absolutely brilliant album, but for the next album, it was always going to be difficult to reproduce the standard of Burn, and that's how it turned out. Having said that, Stormbringer did have a few really good numbers on it.
I'm with one of the journalists/critics on the video. Although Glenn Hughes is a fantastic musician and vocalist, I didn't think he was quite the right fit for the band, and that aspect, started to show through on Stormbringer, where he had a lot more influence on the musical content than he did on Burn. This was one of the reasons why Ritchie left of course....
Glenn says that he doesn't like to sing the old stuff (MK II)... but then again, I remeber the version of Glenn singing 'Highway Star' with Steve Vai and Chad Smith, where he nails it pretty f*** hard...
Great film. Much more insightful than so many DP biographies. For what it’s worth I think both MK 2 & MK 3 were great. MK2 was DP & defined the band. MK 3 made a classic album &but essentially were a different band. I wonder what would have happened if they’d dropped the DP name & relaunched as a new band. I guess commercial realities stopped it as well as the divergence between Ritchie obsessions with kings, witches & goblins and Coverdale’s bluesier leanings.
Yes, the breakup when Gillan left the band was actually the end of Deep Purple as a masterpiece band. They were all at their peak at the time, and damage was done. Not saying the new members/line-ups/records were bad, or anything like that, but the entire thing just could no longer rise to the level of pre-1973 Mark II.
Hey man, The mark 3 and 4 are very good, don't be a closed mind
+Anki Hansen No, no, I am not saying they were not very good, but they were not as good as pre-1973 Mark II.
+Milan Suvajac I agree. They're good but Mark 2 was phenomenal.
Burn the tune has nice chord harmony and heavy at the same time. Classic tune, love it.
I have this LP and only listened to it once. I always reach for In Rock, BoT, Shades of, and self-titled. Really wanna get my hands on Fireball.
It's a Great Album and with Coverdale...it's Really Fucking Good!!!
Please tell me somewhere there's a recording of Glen Hughes doing a soulful live version of Child in Time, and kind of hating it
I bought the album when it was released and saw Purple on the Burn tour. The 2nd best studio album after Machine Head, but nothing betters Made in Japan!
Incredible album.
Deep Purple MK3 is by far THE BEST lineup and Burn is THE BEST album!
IMHO, best lineup of Deep Purple..
Lonely Rocker loves this album!
Great!
As everything Ritchie Blackmore did... and does
One of my favorites
DP will always be my No.1 Band. 🤘
28:06 I love that section the symphony of destruction ( the real because Ritchie on that era pick the guitars and amp making the destruction process).
A maior banda de hard rock que já existiu.
Sim
My favourite Hard Rock album.
No Fireball? To Hell with these bloody blokes!!
These people talking love the word "genius". bla bla. The "Genius" was the MIX of the band. And anyway, how can you talk about "Genius" in the band and not mention "Jon Lord". And what made DP was ALWAYS the blend of the organ and the guitar with explosive and imaginative drums. Ian Paice and Jon Lord explain the dynamic very well how a good band works: Five great musicians listening to each other and "firing off" each other. And a bit of rivalry and Sparring obviously can't hurt, but it one guy dominates the excitement goes out of the window. At least this is true for bands like Deep Purple
I wonder why Glenn Hughes’s is not credited in the publishing.?
But the credit goes John Lord who introduced David Coverdale in this album burn turned the tables
Yes!!! :))
KNeelandpray2: Did you bother leveling the volume? Doesn't sound like it.
O Deep Purple foi brilhante nos anos 70, todos os discos são bons ou extraordinários.
The People Laughed - Till She Said BURN !
when Blackmore Lord & Paice playing Deep Purple are playing . Mark 3 are my! Deep Purple
Machine Head was everywhere in 1972. I was in the army during the Vietnam war. This was the era of triumvirate of hard rock Sabbath Zeppelin deep purple 🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
The holy trinity of old school British heavy metal.
@@stantonvalberg9814 THE HOLIEST OF THE HOLY incredible talent when talent counted for something. NO X-FACTOR b.s. producers necessary
Glenn saying he'll never do Smoke again. He's done it since, tho I understand if it annoys him doing it.
is malcom dome going to fix his teeth someday?
20:25 "Mistreated is Mark 3's Child in time" Not even close ;)
Best vocal duo in history. Glenn & David. No need to worry about covering Ian à la Mach 2. Glenn and David were Deep Purple at its very best.
I agree!
The best hard rock band ever.
what a load of nonsense is being said by several so called experts in this DVD.
One of the best DP albums also fireball
Burn and Stormbringer are excelllent albums. And Made in Europe is brilliant live album.Mark 3 is as good as mark 2. For me, of course.
live in london ?
Just tell everyone to listen to the album. It speaks for itself
Stormbringer is my favourite Purple album.
Organizations take on the personality of the leader. Here it caused legendary music to be made at times with the rest being sheer throwaway. I will listen to Made In Japan, Burn and some of Perfect Strangers until I'm gone. I have everything else, but it'll never get listened to again.
If Coverdale doesn't sound right singing "Space Truckin", there ain't no way he'd be singing "Hush"! That was TWO singers ago!😅😅
Deep Purple Mk 1 was hardly a poppish-rockish band. They had intricate arrangements influenced by classical music. I would call it progressive/psychedelic rock at its best.
Ok
I wish Glenn Hughes had been hired as the singer. Love his voice and not a big fan of Coverdale bluesy voice.Always loved the fact that Deep Purple was not a sludgy, bluesy band in Mark 2. Then if they would have hired a bassist, Hughes couldn’t have ruined the music with his funk! LOL can’t rewrite history...
Funny isn't it they talk about A200 as the only possibly 'filler track' yet one of Blackmore's most sublime solo's...
💥 💨🔥 "Burn" the last worthwile Purple release.......
