I now understand why Vai said that he was "stopped dead in his tracks" by Glenn's vocal the first time he listened to the final of this track. SWEET HONEY MUSTARD... what a vocal!!!! So glad to have finally learned of Glenn Hughes.
OMG!!!!!! Mr Hughes !!!! Tears are running down my eyes listening to your MONSTROUS voice.. Im never gonna be able to sing it your way SIR ... Damn it, i wish i could
man , oh man .... never in a thousand years thought i'd say this : but this is one of the few remakes , that do justice ... What a voice , Lord have mercy...!!
See the interview with Steve Vai in a separate video - he so humbly trumpets Hughes's performance on this piece and yet I think his own contribution is so skilfully and measuredly delivered. Great stuff from all involved.
Willie it’s impossible to improve on the original, this does the original full justice. Splendid rendition. It gave me chills. Steve’s rendition of the masterpiece Blackmore solo captured the original with all of the right notes yet made it his while keeping the original greatness intact.
Steve is the only one to approach Ritchie’s solo and even when I saw Purple on the first two reunion tours in 84 and 85 I believe I never heard Gillan approach Glenn’s vocals here❤️
The original trax was one my fav's from DP but this rendition is something special. I have both of my all time heroes on this trax Vai is a friggin beast on Guitar and Glenn's Vocals are on another planet! What range, power and control he sings with so much emotion they hit it out of the Park💯
I'm a huge DP fan & upon first listen I didn't care for it, however, I'm a fan of all involved so I gave it a second more concentrated listen. I have to say I'm digging it now. Kicks ass!!!
Chickenfoot have a very good version, but this is best version ever...period Glenn´s overwhelming voice, and spectacular solos by Lachy Doley and Vai are killing any doubt here...
For me both Chickenfoot and this one are pretty equal. Both are on the Re- Machined C.D. Joe Satriani and Steve Vai are equal in talent and style. Same with Hagar and Hughes.
The Re- Machined C.D. is tremendous, except the Flaming Lips doing Smoke on the Water. All the artists from Santana to Glenn Hughes to Satriani and Steve Vai are kicking ass.
This is great. I guess its true when they say that some things get better with age because imo Glenn Hughes sings this song better now than what he did when he was a member of Deep Purple back in the 70's.
Very few covers sound better than the originals. This is especially so when the original is a classic. However, this has to be the best version of Highway Star, sublime, exciting, powerful... and everything...
This is absolutely the best version ever! Second only to Purple themselves! Glenn, anyway you look at it is the greatest rock vocalist of all time! Plant, Ian Gillian, Cornell come close but all fall short when compared to the force of nature that is Glenn Hughes!!
What Cd is this off of? Did they do a whole cd or is this a one off?I have NEVER heard anyone come close to the original like this! Glenn nails the vocals and Vai is the only one I have EVER heard approach Ritchie’s solo😍😍😍😍❤️
Pure Greatness!!! Glenn Hughes is releasing a solo record this fall and some of the tracks will feature RHCP Percussionist Chad Smith. Steve Vai is incredible on this track.
Ofcourse never a cover will be the same as an origional, but sometimes a cover is giving me more goose bumps than the origional. like this one for example.. Probably because there is no better rock singer than Glenn..Or Dio..Or some others..
The original was recorded over 46 years ago! A time when musicians recorded LIVE in the SAME ROOM on analog tape decks with NO overdubbing and no digital effects or editing. If someone made a mistake you had to start over. If you're not a recording musician this may not make any sense to you, but you could compare the difference to an old dial phone and a smart phone. For Deep Purple to write and record such a great tune so long ago is amazing and that is why these guys did this. To honor them. I really like this new version, but it makes no sense to compare. They're both great for different reasons.
chizmo7 you need to google recording history of overdubs, multi track recording, etc...many artists didn't do live in the studio on tape records fifty years ago. See Beach Boys "Pet Sounds", Beatles "Sgt. Pepper"..and before.
Wow! Glenn Hughes is like having Ian Gillan and David Coverdale combined but more! I suppose it would be asking too much if he could weave some Ronnie James Dio in there...?
Glenn Hughs is a freak of nature to be able to hit those high notes at his age! What an incredible tribute to a true classic!
I now understand why Vai said that he was "stopped dead in his tracks" by Glenn's vocal the first time he listened to the final of this track. SWEET HONEY MUSTARD... what a vocal!!!! So glad to have finally learned of Glenn Hughes.
I get goose bumps when I listen to Glenn singing here. Him and David Coverdale were such a good combination in Deep Purple.
Ya think???
Stellar performance by Glenn as always.. .wow... just amazing!
Glenn Hughes is THE unsung vocal hero of hard rock.
CERTAINLY A VERY UNDERRATED ROCK VOCALIST
He is absolutely awesome.
@@georgetexstel5837 Maybe not underrated, but not as much of a household name as he should be. So badass.
@@rogerwilliams2629 the original Jesus Christ Superstar was Ian Gillan who sang for Jesus who was one of the singers for Deep Purple
Amazing

Hughes and Vai are not taking prisoners here !
Bass, drums and guitar are kick arse perfect! The vocals are superfuckingnatural!!!
The God of Voice!!!! Like a chainsaw made of diamonds!
Glen Hughes.... you're the man!
My favourite singer for over forty years. And shit he's getting better as the year's go by.....

These guys are great. I have a great respect for them all. Ive been a glenn hughes fan since trapeze.
Steve Vais /Jon lord intro is fantastic! Superb.
Glenn is the absolutely amazing Rock singer of all time. Steve Vai is Rock pure....
Best vocal in rock history forking off this planet.....wow
I'm a huge DP fan & upon first listen I didn't care for it, however, I'm a fan of all involved so I gave it a second more concentrated listen. I have to say I'm digging it now. Kicks ass!!!

@@edlococo4106 same with Hagar and Hughes?? I love Sammy but Glenn moped the floor with him on this.

@@hellfoot1 Sammy's a pro, but Hughes laid down the law.
This is great. I guess its true when they say that some things get better with age because imo Glenn Hughes sings this song better now than what he did when he was a member of Deep Purple back in the 70's.
Glenn Hughes is the Voice of the voices.
This happens when the song is played by excellent musicians. Mindblowing!
This is the most stunning track I have recently heard . How did I miss this! You really get old when it comes to it. Hello fellows.
Vai Hughes n Smith doing MKII proud. Super Deep in Purple, Superb.
Killer killer killer and no filler! This is one badass track! I am in love with this, I don't think you can get any better than this! Totally awesome!
Музыка всех времён!!!
Very cool version of this song! Glen Hughes absolutely is killing it on this song!
Very few covers sound better than the originals. This is especially so when the original is a classic. However, this has to be the best version of Highway Star, sublime, exciting, powerful... and everything...
You're sooo amazing Glenn Hughes...like it better than anyone else.
Glenn Hughes is as good if not better than Ian Gillian ever was. Amazingly brilliant voice
Both different and both brilliant.
Glenn and Ronnie James Dio! Top notch.
Glenn Hughes' vocal is insane!
vai is just a fucking magician. a genuian fucking magician that is fucking awsome
One of the greatest rock songs of all time re-done by some of the greatest rock musicians of all time!!
I like covers made by true fans. Such as this. And Glen delivers uncharacteristically good vocals! Old school stuff...
+Jan-Kjetil Jess Glen consistently delivers great vocals. He isn't known as the voice of rock for nothing.
This what happens when you dedicate your life to your craft, todays " artists" aint got a clue.
Awesome, to say the least. Hughes is shining brightly on this one. Wish they had 15 more just like it!!!
beast...both of them
All I can say is WOW
The voice of rock!!!
best version I've heard.
суппер🤔👍👍👍👏👏👏😊👋
FANTASTICA!
what a killer cover
Check out the Chickenfoot live version. Made my hair stand up...
AMEN BROTHER......THE HARD TRUTH.
Donald Mousseau chickenfood‘s version is godfather‘s version. Satriani‘s covers keyboards and guitar - amazing
RIDICULOUS!!!! Hughes sounds like he did when he sang and played for Trapeze, Vai,well nuff said and who cant Smith play with, AWESOME!!!
GH is James Brown of Rock scene. His voice over the age!
Glenn is awesome!!! The voice of rock!!!
Just amazing
Gienn Hughes ,perfect.

Nice to see Glenn Hughes slowing down and taking it easy in his golden years. 😏
"With an engine crank, a rumble seat, and everything!"
😅
This is pure Badass Hard Rock Performance!!! 😍
Hughes amazing and Vai sounding like a boss as usual.
+Tony Powell Brilliant track, Glenns pretty useful on Bass too !
Wow! Nice track! Glen!!!

Where are the pictures of Lachy Doley?
This is absolutely the best version ever! Second only to Purple themselves! Glenn, anyway you look at it is the greatest rock vocalist of all time! Plant, Ian Gillian, Cornell come close but all fall short when compared to the force of nature that is Glenn Hughes!!
Amazing. Bring rock gods together
Very BEST
WoW! This is just wicked!
Sweet! Think I'll go dust off a couple Vai CDs today.
Versão bombástica 👏👏
Wow! What a hell of a cover that is!
Amazing!
Crazy good..!
mr Hughes deserves immense respect,but all the musicians in the track are excellent
Glennhughes 100% pure undistilled voice of rock
Nicely done...Never try to run over the Tire Tracks you see before you, and try to make them your own. They're not!! All said, and all great!!
Hughes is simply fantastic. Blackmore when chose Glenn seen so far away.
I wasnt sure id like this...........gid damn this is good😎
this is fuckin badass
What Cd is this off of? Did they do a whole cd or is this a one off?I have NEVER heard anyone come close to the original like this! Glenn nails the vocals and Vai is the only one I have EVER heard approach Ritchie’s solo😍😍😍😍❤️

Wow
Glenn great vocal!
Gillan!
Carai doido kk. Muito massa.
Ofcourse never a cover will be the same as an origional, but sometimes a cover is giving me more goose bumps than the origional. like this one for example.. Probably because there is no better rock singer than Glenn..Or Dio..Or some others..
Were Chad Smith and Will Ferrell separated at birth?
probably
Hahaha !
Chad Smith is Will's secret super hero identity
You and your mum were separated at birth
well, chad smith is awesome at his profession and will ferrel has consistently sucked at his.
Every time I listen to Glenn Hughes' Highway Star I think I like it even better than Ian Gillan's
I do too and I have been a Deep Purple MKII. since "Machine Head" was released back in the early 1970's.
The good old days, how I miss them.
Nope
