50 years of inexhaustible energy

The cult group became famous for its hits back in 1968. Many people say that so much musical groups They don’t live, but Deep Purple has been delighting with new songs for several decades. And this year the kings of rock celebrate their 50th anniversary with a driving performance.

Those who come will be treated to the performance of famous hits, as well as new songs from the twentieth (!) album “InFinite”. This one new collection became a reason to travel around the world and remind of the power of heavy metal. The masterly performance of each composition will give everyone true pleasure.

Is it possible to say unambiguously about the quantity musical works on modern stage development of this industry, and is it even necessary? One thing is certain: despite their a huge number, there is a number of worldwide famous songs, which not only find their fans all over the world, but also firmly hold their positions decades later. It is difficult to imagine at least one person in the vast expanses of at least our vast country who would not have heard or could not sing famous song Deep Purple Smoke On The Water" Even if he doesn’t know the name of this legendary composition, or even the name of the group (which is possible, although difficult to imagine), it is impossible to avoid tapping his fingers or toes to this historical melody. And what is the “live” energy of this Deep Purple song - at the concert in Moscow we will find out everything personally!

At the same time, this song Deep Purple has become the most recognizable embodiment of the double-stop technique and an indicator of truly professional play. “ SmokeOnTheWater” can rightfully be considered a record holder in the field of cover versions. As you know, the original single was recorded in heavy metal style, but it’s difficult to list everything musical genres many reworkings: from country to black metal. And at the Deep Purple concert in Moscow we will hear Smoke On The Water as it was, is and will be a classic from the golden fund of rock music. Live!

Rotation of the squadDeepPurple in the 70s

Further, as a result internal conflicts Gillan and Glover are replaced by David Coverdell and Glen Hughes. Under the auspices of the third team in 1974 there were 2 less successful, but still very high quality albums Deep Purple: Burn and Stormbringer. It’s hard not to notice the shift towards the blues, but the basic concept of the band’s already beloved style was preserved. At the same time, there were some problems in the atmosphere of the team, which affected the mixture of styles. Among all the quality Deep songs Purple here includes such compositions as “The Soldier Of Fortune” and “Lady Double Dealer”.

You don’t need to have hypertrophied insight to understand what happened next. In 1975, the composition of the team changed again, because it was necessary to replace the departed Blackmore. This is how Tommy Bolin appeared in the group. Let's pay attention to the places in the charts of the new album Come Taste the Band - 19 and 43 in Britain and America respectively. It would seem, what is the problem? The album was played simply perfectly, and there is nothing to complain about. Obviously, the audience who loved the songs of Deep Purple, who perceived all previous experiments in a state of ecstasy, was not ready for a powerful shift from the group’s line towards a more danceable product, which happened thanks to the direction of the new guitarist. This stage can rightfully be considered the most difficult in the history of the group, because it led to the disintegration of the group. And to be more precise, it’s not a breakup, but a “creative pause.” Without a doubt, all Russian fans of the group are happy that this page was not the last in the history of the legend, and we can attend the Deep Purple 2013 concert at the Olimpiysky! And you have a choice of what to wave during the show - a burning lighter, or the pride of any rocker - long hair. Or maybe you prefer?

New albumsDeepPurple. Mid 80's

The revival of Deep Purple took place only in 1984 thanks to Ian Gillan, which is clearly confirmed by the members of the next line-up - Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice. Obviously, a very risky moment was approaching: the group had not performed for a long time and its popularity rested on its previous hits. For the revival, a high-quality and perfectly executed product was needed. And the group coped with this task brilliantly: 2 excellent Deep Purple albums were released - TheHouseofBlue Light And PerfectStrangers, which received platinum and gold respectively. We expect to listen to some compositions from these two releases at the Deep Purple concert in Moscow. When will such a chance arise again?

DeepPurple - from 1989 to performance at the 2013 Olympics

By the standards of the group, the revived lineup lasted a decent amount of time - until 1989, when Gillan left the group and was replaced by Joe Lynn Turner. Came out new album Slaves and Masters, which threw the usual places of Deep Purple songs to far from the first lines. It is not surprising that he did not stay in the group any longer, and the record company persistently demanded the return of Ian Gillan, which, of course, happened in the album TheBattleRageson. The album did not receive significant recognition, again, despite its good quality. Then Ritchie Blackmore left the group under very scandalous circumstances. Since then, two members of the band have changed: Blackmore was replaced by Steve Morse, Jon Lord was replaced by Don Airey on keyboards. Latest album Now What?! We will not comment in any way - it would be better for you to do this after the Deep Purple concert in Moscow.

It is obvious that all the musicians who participated in the recordings of Deep Purple albums clearly did not suffer from a lack of professionalism, quite the contrary. Of course, you can single out a few gentlemen and say that “here they are the true titans of hard and heavy,” but is this advisable? Everyone gave to the group what they could, albeit from their own ideas of what music should be.

On a windy May day, the surroundings of Prospekt Mira were filled with informal people of different generations.

Ian Gillan

There were also rockers of the old formation, already gray-haired, there were also middle-aged people, some with haircuts, some without, and there were young people. Some of whom drank from glasses and paper bags something similar to doping. Those who often visit those parts must have realized (in case they didn’t know for sure) that one of the “old-time” rockers was performing. And, obviously, they were not mistaken: Deep Purple came to Moscow once again.

Deep Purple- 50, that’s what the posters said. For some, this figure could cause something like horror, because it turns out that if the group is 50 years old, then we ourselves are no longer young. Some people probably admired it - wow, 50 years, that's a must! And some, perhaps, have disdain - they say, old people, where should they perform.

Ian Pace

One way or another, the veterans of hard rock are celebrating their half-century anniversary this year and, according to the name of the tour, set off on this occasion (“ The Long Goodbye», « Long goodbye") on his last tour. However, judging by the same name, farewell, if there is one, will be really long - after all, the example of the Scorpions group is still before everyone’s eyes, how many times they came to Russia alone with “farewell” concerts, but nothing, they still perform to this day.

Don Airey

The situation with Deep Purple is generally similar. From the very beginning, I didn’t really believe that this would really be a farewell concert. That's when they arrived Black Sabbath, then it was immediately clear that this was their last tour. And here - not a word, not a half-hint - nothing.

Roger Glover

And the concert program did not at all resemble a summing up. It was a “regular” Deep Purple concert, consisting entirely of familiar and beloved material. Latest album" Infinite"was represented by only two songs -" Time for Bedlam" And " Birds of Prey" - they sounded in a row, one after another, somewhere in the middle of the concert, and even then, rather, as a formality - it was probably impossible not to present the new album at all.

Roger Glover and Ian Paice

The rest is all hits. Starting right away with " Highway Star", taking a break on " Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" and finishing, of course, " Smoke on the Water", Deep Purple showed that they are still oldies. Each of those who filled the "Olympic" could be convinced of this - all the musicians of the group performed a solo. It was especially successful for the keyboard player Don Airey- he intertwined traditional improvisations with music Rachmaninov and even with " Evenings near Moscow".

Ian Gillan

The only reminder that the group has been around for many years and that maybe it’s really time to retire was the voice Ian Gillan. No, he's fine now, but pulling his own vocal parts It’s becoming more and more difficult for him. Although, at a minimum, it will definitely be enough for one more “farewell” tour.

Steve Morse

There were only two negative moments in the generally good, strong, but, alas, not excellent concert. The first is sound. He was so bad that sometimes all the parts, including the vocal part, were mixed into one musical mess. The second is the warm-up team. There is an unspoken rule that the opening act must perform in the same genre as the main artist.

Deep Purple

In this case, the choice was more than strange. Perhaps, on a more intimate stage and at a concert of a different format, the Israelis Gunned Down Horses, playing something like stringy alternative metal, would have big success, but in in this case they raised one question in the audience - “why?” Many found the answer outside the hall, in the buffets.

Ian Gillan

Otherwise, it was nice to hear one of the most beloved bands in the country once again. We can only hope that the farewell, as it should have been from the posters, will be really long. In any case, when leaving the stage, neither Gillan nor the others began to make pretentious speeches - they just confessed their love. You could say we said goodbye in Russian.

The legendary rock band, formed back in 1968 in the UK, initially had a completely different name - “Roundabout”. The appearance of the group was timely, harmoniously joining the world of rock music of the 70s, the debutants quickly gained popularity and loyal fans.

According to music critics, the Deep Purple group made an invaluable contribution to the formation and development hard rock, and also became one of the founders of heavy metal.

The virtuoso instrumentalists who were part of the “classic” lineup of Deep Purple formed the golden backbone of the group, which included guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, keyboardist Jon Lord, bassist Roger Glover, vocalist Ian Gillan, and drummer Ian Paice. Legendary albums that have become the epitome of hard rock classics were released by this particular lineup of participants. The musicians split up and reunited more than once due to the ambition of the kings of rock music. But as a result of their efforts, seven masterpiece albums out of 18 were born, released under the group’s logo. The most colorful records include the records “Fireball”, “Machine Head” and “In Rock”. In general, the number of albums sold exceeded one hundred million copies.

Since the composition of Deep Purple has changed several times throughout the history of the band, the total number of its members is 14 musicians. For some, participation in the team was a successful start musical career, for some it became a valuable experience working with the masters of rock. The only person, who has not changed the group since its formation, was the talented drummer Ian Paice.

In the period from 1976 to 1984, the group experienced its longest creative break. Despite the 8-year “vacation”, the musicians picked up their instruments and went back onto the stage, where an innumerable army of devoted, fanatically loving fans awaited them.

By forces former members Deep Purple was created a large number of side projects. The list of the most significant bands included Black Sabbath Rainbow, Ashton & Lord, Blackmores Night, Ian Gillan Band, Whitesnake, Paice, and Warhorse
