Deep Purple
are an English rock band formed in Hertford, Hertfordshire in 1968. [1] Along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, they are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, although some band members have tried not to categorise themselves as any one genre. [2] The band also incorporated classical music, blues-rock, pop and progressive rock elements. [3] They were once listed by the Guinness Book of World Records
as the world's loudest band, [4] [5] and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide. [6] [7] [8] [9] Deep Purple were ranked #22 on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock
programme. [10]
The band have gone through many line-up changes and an eight-year hiatus (1976-84). The 1968-76 line-ups are commonly labeled Mark I, II, III and IV. [11] [12] Their second and most commercially successful line-up featured Ian Gillan (vocals), Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Jon Lord (keyboards), Roger Glover (bass guitar) and Ian Paice (drums). This line-up was active 1969-73 and was revived from 1984-89 and again in 1993 before the rift between Blackmore and other members became unbridgeable. The current line-up including guitarist Steve Morse has been much more stable, though Lord's retirement in 2002 has left Paice as the only original member.

History
Pre-Deep Purple years (1967–1968)
In 1967, former
Searchers drummer
Chris Curtis contacted London businessman Tony Edwards in the hope that he would manage a new group he was putting together, to be called
Roundabout
: so-called because the members would get on and off the band, like a musical roundabout. Impressed with the plan, Edwards agreed to finance the venture with two business partners: John Coletta and Ron Hire (Hire-Edwards-Coletta – HEC Enterprises).
The first recruit was the classically-trained
Hammond organ player
Jon Lord, who had most notably played with The Artwoods (led by
Art Wood, brother of future Rolling Stones guitarist
Ronnie Wood, and featuring
Keef Hartley). He was followed by session guitarist
Ritchie Blackmore, who was persuaded to return from
Hamburg to audition for the new group. Curtis soon dropped out, but HEC Enterprises, as well as Lord and Blackmore, were keen to carry on.
For the bass guitar, Lord suggested his old friend
Nick Simper, with whom he had played in a band called
The Flower Pot Men and their Garden (formerly known as
The Ivy League) back in 1967. Simper's claims to fame (apart from Deep Purple) were that he had been in
Johnny Kidd and The Pirates and had been in the car crash that killed Kidd. He was also in
Screaming Lord Sutch's
The Savages
, where he played with Blackmore.
The line-up was completed by vocalist
Rod Evans and drummer
Ian Paice from
The Maze
. After a brief tour of Denmark in the spring of 1968, Blackmore suggested a new name:
Deep Purple, which was his grandmother's favourite song.
Breakthrough (1968–1970)
In October 1968, the group had success with a cover of
Joe South's "
Hush", which reached #4 on the US Billboard chart and #2 on the Canadian
RPM charts. The song was taken from their debut album
Shades of Deep Purple
, and they were booked to support
Cream on their
Goodbye
tour.
The band's second album,
The Book of Taliesyn
(including a cover of
Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman"), was released in the United States to coincide with this tour, reaching #38 on the billboard chart and #21 on the
RPM charts, although it would not be released in their home country until the following year. 1969 saw the release of their third album,
Deep Purple
, which contained strings and woodwind on one track ("April"). Several influences were in evidence, notably
Vanilla Fudge and Lord's classical antecedents such as
Bach and
Rimsky-Korsakov.
After these three albums and extensive touring in the United States, their American record company, Tetragrammaton, went out of business, leaving the band with no money and an uncertain future. (Tetragrammaton's assets were assumed by
Warner Bros. Records, who would release Deep Purple's records in the US throughout the 1970s.) Returning to England in early 1969, they recorded a single called "Emmaretta", named for
Emmaretta Marks, then a cast member of the musical
Hair
, whom Evans was trying to seduce, before Evans and Simper were fired.
In search of a replacement vocalist, Blackmore set his sights on 19 year old singer
Terry Reid, who only a year earlier declined a similar opportunity to front the newly forming
Led Zeppelin. Though he found the offer "flattering" Reid was still bound by the exclusive recording contract with his producer
Mickie Most and more interested in his solo career.
[13] Blackmore had no other choice but to look elsewhere.
The band hunted down singer
Ian Gillan from
Episode Six, a band that had released several singles in the UK without achieving their big break for commercial success. Six's drummer Mick Underwood—an old comrade of Blackmore's from his Savages days—made the introductions, and bassist
Roger Glover tagged along for the initial sessions. Deep Purple persuaded Glover to join full-time, an act that effectively killed Episode Six and gave Underwood a guilt complex that lasted nearly a decade—until Gillan recruited him for his new post-Purple band in the late 1970s.
This created the quintessential Deep Purple Mark II line-up, whose first, inauspicious release was a
Greenaway-
Cook tune titled "Hallelujah", which flopped.
The band gained some much-needed publicity with the
Concerto for Group and Orchestra
, a three-movement epic composed by Lord as a solo project and performed by the band at the
Royal Albert Hall with the
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by
Malcolm Arnold. Together with
Five Bridges
by
The Nice, it was one of the first collaborations between a rock band and an orchestra, although at the time, certain members of Deep Purple (Blackmore and Gillan especially) were less than happy at the group being tagged as "a group who played with orchestras" when actually what they had in mind was to develop the band into a much tighter, hard-rocking style. Despite this, Lord wrote and the band recorded the
Gemini Suite
, another orchestra/group collaboration in the same vein, in late 1970.
Popularity and breakup (1970–1976)
Shortly after the orchestral release, the band began a hectic touring and recording schedule that was to see little respite for the next three years. Their first studio album of this period, released in mid-1970, was
In Rock
(a name deliberately chosen to distance the rock album from the concerto) and contained the then-concert staples "
Speed King", "Into The Fire" and "
Child in Time". The band also issued the UK Top Ten single "
Black Night". The interplay between Blackmore's guitar and Lord's distorted organ, coupled with Gillan's howling vocals and the rhythm section of Glover and Paice, now started to take on a unique identity and become instantly recognisable to rock fans throughout Europe.
A second album, the more mellow and creatively progressive
Fireball
(a favourite of Gillan but not of the rest of the band), was issued in the summer of 1971. The title track "
Fireball" was released as a single, as was "
Strange Kind of Woman" - not from the album but recorded during the same sessions (although it was included on the US version of the album instead of the UK version's song "Demon's Eye".)
Within weeks of ''Fireball
s release, the band were already performing songs planned for the next album. One song (which later became "Highway Star") was performed at the first gig of the
Fireball
tour, having been written on the bus to a show in Portsmouth, in answer to a journalist's question: "How do you go about writing songs?" Three months later, in December 1971, the band traveled to Switzerland to record
Machine Head''. The album was due to be recorded at a casino in
Montreux, using the
Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, but a fire during a
Frank Zappa and the
Mothers of Invention gig burned down the casino. The album was actually recorded at the nearby empty Grand Hotel. This incident famously inspired the song "
Smoke on the Water". Gillan believes that he witnessed a man fire a flare gun into the ceiling during the concert, prompting
Mark Volman of the
Mothers to comment: "
Arthur Brown in person!"
Continuing from where both previous albums left off,
Machine Head
has since become one of the band's most famous albums, including tracks that became live classics such as "
Highway Star", "
Space Truckin'", "
Lazy" and "
Smoke on the Water". Deep Purple continued to tour and record at a rate that would be rare thirty years on: when
Machine Head
was recorded, the group had only been together three and a half years, yet it was their seventh LP. Meanwhile the band undertook four North America tours in 1972 and the August tour of Japan that led to a double-vinyl live release,
Made in Japan
. Originally intended as a Japan-only record, its worldwide release saw the double LP become an instant hit. It remains one of rock music's most popular and highest selling live-concert recordings (although at the time it was perhaps seen as less important, as only Glover and Paice turned up to mix it).
The classic Deep Purple Mark II line-up continued to work and released the album
Who Do We Think We Are
(1973), featuring the hit single "Woman from Tokyo", but internal tensions and exhaustion were more noticeable than ever. The bad feelings culminated in Gillan quitting the band after their second tour of Japan in the summer of 1973 over tensions between Gillan and Blackmore, and Glover being pushed out with him. Auditions were held. Two primary candidates surfaced: a Scotsman Angus Cameron McKinlay and
David Coverdale. Angus, not having a high enough voice, was eliminated.. They settled on Coverdale, an unknown singer from
Saltburn in Northeast England, and Midlands bassist/vocalist
Glenn Hughes, formerly of
Trapeze. After first acquiring Hughes, they debated continuing as a four piece with Hughes as both bassist and vocalist
[14]. This new line-up continued into 1974 with the heavier blues-rock album
Burn
, another highly successful release and world tour. Hughes and Coverdale added both vocal harmonies and a more funky element to the band's music, a sound that was even more apparent on the late 1974 release
Stormbringer
. Besides the title track, the album had a number of songs that received much radio play, such as "Lady Double Dealer", "The Gypsy" and "Soldier Of Fortune". Yet Blackmore voiced unhappiness with the album and the direction Deep Purple had taken. As a result, he left the band in the spring of 1975 to form his own band with
Ronnie James Dio of
Elf, called Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, later shortened after one album to
Rainbow.
With Blackmore's departure, Deep Purple was left to fill one of the biggest bandmember vacancies in rock music. In spite of this, the rest of the band refused to stop, and to the surprise of many long-time fans, actually announced a replacement for the "irreplaceable" Man in Black; American
Tommy Bolin.
There are at least two versions about the recruitment of Bolin: Coverdale claims to have been the one who suggested auditioning Bolin.
[15] "He walked in, thin as a rake, his hair coloured green, yellow and blue with feathers in it. Slinking along beside him was this stunning
Hawaiian girl in a crochet dress with nothing on underneath. He plugged into four
Marshall 100-watt stacks and...the job was his". But in an interview originally published by Melody Maker in June 1975, Bolin himself claimed that he came to the audition following a recommendation from Blackmore.
[16] Bolin had been a member of many now-forgotten late-1960s bands - Denny & The Triumphs, American Standard, and
Zephyr, which released three albums from 1969-72. Before Deep Purple, Bolin's best-known recordings were made as a session musician on
Billy Cobham's 1973
jazz fusion album
Spectrum
, and as
Joe Walsh's replacement on two
James Gang albums:
Bang
(1973) and
Miami
(1974). He had also jammed with such luminaries as Dr. John, Albert King,
The Good Rats and
Alphonse Mouzon, and was busy working on his first solo album,
Teaser
when he accepted the invitation to join Deep Purple.
The resulting album,
Come Taste the Band
, was released in October 1975. Despite mixed reviews, the collection revitalised the band once again, bringing a new, extreme funk edge to their
hard rock sound. Bolin's influence was crucial, and with encouragement from Hughes and Coverdale, the guitarist developed much of the material. Later, Bolin's personal problems with drugs began to manifest themselves, and after cancelled shows and below-par concert performances, the band was in danger.
Band split, side projects (1976–1984)
The end came on tour in Britain in March 1976 at the Liverpool Empire Theatre. Coverdale reportedly walked off in tears and handed in his resignation, to which he was allegedly told there was no band left to quit. The decision to disband Deep Purple had been made some time before the last show by Lord and Paice (the last remaining original members), who hadn't told anyone else. The break-up was finally made public in July 1976.
Later, Bolin had just finished recording his second solo album,
Private Eyes
, when, on December 4, 1976, tragedy struck. In
Miami, during a tour supporting
Jeff Beck, Bolin was found unconscious by his girlfriend. Unable to wake him, she hurriedly called paramedics, but it was too late. The official cause of death: multiple-drug intoxication. He was 25 years old.
After the break-up most of the past and present members of Deep Purple went on to have considerable success in a number of other bands, including
Rainbow,
Whitesnake,
Black Sabbath and
Gillan. There were, however, a number of promoter-led attempts to get the band to reform, especially with the revival of the hard rock market in the late 1970s/early 1980s. By 1980, an unauthorised version of the band surfaced with Evans as the only member who had ever been in Deep Purple, eventually ending in successful legal action from the legitimate Deep Purple camp over unauthorised use of the name. Evans was ordered to pay damages of $672,000 (US) for using the band name without permission.
[17]
Reunions and breakups (1984–1994)
In April 1984, eight years after the demise of Deep Purple, a full-scale (and legal) reunion took place with the "classic" early 1970s line-up of Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Lord and Paice. The album
Perfect Strangers
was released in October 1984. A solid release, it sold extremely well (reaching #5 in the
UK and #6 on the
Billboard 200 in the
US [18]) and included the singles and concert staples "Knockin' At Your Back Door" and "
Perfect Strangers". The reunion tour followed, starting in Australia and winding its way across the world to North America, then into Europe by the following summer. Financially, the tour was also a tremendous success. The UK homecoming proved limited, as they elected to play just a single festival show at
Knebworth (with main support from the
Scorpions; also on the bill were UFO, Bernie Marsden's Alaska, Mama's Boys, Blackfoot, Mountain and Meat Loaf). The weather was bad (torrential rain and 6" of mud), but 80,000 fans turned up anyway. The gig was called the "Return Of The Knebworth Fayre".
The line-up then released
The House of Blue Light
in 1987, which was followed by a world tour (interrupted after Blackmore broke a finger on stage) and another live album
Nobody's Perfect
(1988) which was culled from several shows on this tour, but still largely based around the by-now familiar
Made in Japan
set-list. In the UK a new version of "Hush" (with Gillan on lead vocals) was released to mark 20 years of the band. In 1989, Gillan was fired as his relations with Blackmore had again soured and their musical differences had widened too far. His replacement was former Rainbow vocalist
Joe Lynn Turner. This line-up recorded just one album,
Slaves & Masters
(1990) and toured in support. It is one of Blackmore's favourite Deep Purple albums, though some fans derided it as little more than a so-called "Deep Rainbow" album.
With the tour complete, Turner was forced out, as Lord, Paice and Glover (and the record company) wanted Gillan back in the fold for the 25th anniversary. Blackmore grudgingly relented, after requesting and eventually receiving 250,000 dollars in his bank account
[19] and the classic line-up recorded
The Battle Rages On
, but tensions between Gillan and Blackmore came to a head yet again during an otherwise stunningly successful European tour. Blackmore walked out in November 1993, never to return.
Joe Satriani was drafted in to complete the Japanese dates in December and stayed on for a European Summer tour in 1994. He was asked to join permanently, but his record contract commitments prevented this. The band unanimously chose
Dixie Dregs/
Kansas guitarist
Steve Morse to become Blackmore's permanent successor.
Revival with Steve Morse (1994–present)
Morse's arrival revitalised the band creatively, and in 1996 a new album titled
Purpendicular
was released, showing a wide variety of musical styles. With a revamped set list to tour, Deep Purple enjoyed success throughout the rest of the 1990s, releasing the harder-sounding
Abandon
in 1998, and touring with renewed enthusiasm. In 1999, Lord, with the help of a fan who was also a musicologist and composer, painstakingly recreated the
Concerto for Group and Orchestra; the original score having been lost. It was once again performed at the
Royal Albert Hall in September 1999, this time with the
London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Paul Mann. The concert also featured songs from each member's solo careers, as well as a short Deep Purple set, and the occasion was commemorated on the 2000 album
Live at the Royal Albert Hall
. In early 2001, two similar concerts were performed in Tokyo and released as part of the
box set The Soundboard Series
.
Much of the next few years was spent on the road touring. The group continued forward until 2002, when founding member Lord (who, along with Paice, was the only member to be in all incarnations of the band) announced his amicable retirement from the band to pursue personal projects (especially orchestral work). Lord left his Hammond Organ to his replacement. Rock keyboard veteran
Don Airey (Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Whitesnake), who had helped Deep Purple out when Lord's knee was injured in 2001, joined the band. In 2003, Deep Purple released their first studio album in five years, working with new producer Michael Bradford, the highly praised (but controversially titled)
Bananas
, and began touring in support of the album immediately. In July 2005, the band played at the
Live 8 concert in
Park Place (
Barrie, Ontario) and, in October of the same year, released their next album
Rapture of the Deep
. It was followed by the
Rapture of the Deep tour
.
In February 2007, Gillan asked fans not to buy a live album being released by
Sony BMG. This was a recording of their 1993 appearance at the
NEC in
Birmingham. Recordings of this show have previously been released without resistance from Gillan or any other members of the band, but he said: "It was one of the lowest points of my life - all of our lives, actually".
[20]
World Tours
Deep Purple are considered to be one of the hardest touring bands in the world.
[21] [22] [23] From 1968 until today (with the exception of their 1976-1983 split) they continue to tour around the world. In 2007 they received special award for selling more than 150,000 tickets in France with 40 dates in the country in 2007 alone.
[24]
In 2007, Deep Purple's
Rapture of the Deep Tour was voted #6 concert tour of the year (in all music genres) by
Planet Rock listeners.
[25] Rolling Stones's
A Bigger Bang Tour was voted #5 and beat Purple's tour with only 1%. Deep Purple released a new live compilation DVD box, Around the World Live, in May 2008. In February 2008, the band made their first ever appearance in Moscow Kremlin
[26] at the personal request of Dmitry Medvedev who at the time was considered a shoo-in for the seat of the Presidency of Russia. The band is part of the entertainment for the
FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2009 in
Liberec, Czech Republic.

Band members
There have been eight different line-ups of Deep Purple. The original Mark I line-up of guitarist
Ritchie Blackmore, keyboardist
Jon Lord, drummer
Ian Paice, singer
Rod Evans and bassist
Nick Simper released three albums, before Evans and Simper were replaced by
Ian Gillan and
Roger Glover respectively to create Mark II.
[28] The second line-up is regarded as the "classic" Deep Purple,
[29] [30] recording
In Rock
,
Fireball
,
Machine Head
and
Who Do We Think We Are
; this line-up lasted until 1973, when Gillan (followed by Glover) left the band.
David Coverdale and
Glenn Hughes joined to create Deep Purple Mark III,
[31] though co-founding member and guitarist Blackmore left in 1975 to be replaced by
Tommy Bolin. Mark IV lasted only a year and disbanded for what would become eight years after a concert at the
Empire, Liverpool, on 15 March 1976.
[32]
While on hiatus, members concentrated on other projects, including
Rainbow (Blackmore and Glover),
Whitesnake (Coverdale, Lord and Paice),
Black Sabbath (Gillan and Hughes, at different times) and
Gillan (Gillan).
Deep Purple reunited in 1984 with the Mark II line-up of Gillan, Blackmore, Glover, Paice and Lord.
[33] Gillan and Blackmore had a disagreement and the vocalist was fired from the band and replaced by Blackmore's former bandmate in Rainbow,
Joe Lynn Turner. Turner remained until 1992, when the Mark II line-up came together for the third time. Due to continuing conflicting interests between Gillan and Blackmore, the guitarist left the band for good in the middle of 1993's
The Battle Rages On
tour. He was replaced with
Joe Satriani for the remainder of the shows. Satriani could not join the band permanently due to contractual issues.
Steve Morse was chosen to be Blackmore's full-time replacement in 1994,
[34] and he remains the guitarist to this day. In 2002 the most recent line-up change took place when Lord, who had been in every incarnation of the band to this point, left to pursue personal interests. He was replaced by
Don Airey, formerly of Rainbow and Ozzy Osbourne's band, to create the current Mark VIII line-up. Drummer Paice is now the only member left who has been present in every line-up of Deep Purple since the band's formation in 1968.
