Hot Tub Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Maybe I'm A Leo is a definite contender for me too, and Lazy from the same album has some wonderful bass work. But if I had to pick just one, probably Place In Line from Who Do We Think We Are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Thats the first time i have listened to Demons eye in over 40 years, but i can now hear how and why I found and got into Led Zep after that, that sort of incidental rambling vocal commentary at the end that runs under the band, not sure its supposed to feature as a main lyric really, it seems to be a very British Prog Rock style other bands adopted too.

spectoremg Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1484510787' post='3216002'] Sooooo many good songs, but I do have a soft spot for this one....

spectoremg Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Really tough one but it's got to be Highway Star from Made in Japan. Blistering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Got to be Burn for me. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Burn is a classic. I'd personally go for Lay Down, Stay Down or Dealer. But TBH, it would be everything Mark 3 and 4. That's Purple for me. Much prefer that time to Mark 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el borracho Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Might Just Take Your Life for me. Love that keyboard. On another day it might be a different one though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoRhino Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 [quote name='deepbass5' timestamp='1484558723' post='3216229'] Demon's eye was always mine - it was a B side of Fireball so was accessible on the pub juke boxes and i think my most selected song ever. If you were ever in White's Bar Oxford in about 72 [/quote] Demon's Eye for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass Culture Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 'Into the Fire' from In Rock. Always loved 'When A Blind Man Cries' too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Another fave for me, but not best and favourite, is 'No One Came' - love that pulsing rhythm. Sums up some of my gigs. http://youtu.be/luVXf9UpCiM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I used to like jamming along with Bloodsucker from Deep Purple in Rock but I still go back to Burn occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the MkIII version may get some stick, I don't think you can ignore the groove of Mistreated and I doubt Glen Hughes on his own could give it the same soul. Better or different? [/quote] Different of course. All three had a lot to offer. Hughes impresses me most. Burn and Mistreated were the best Deep Purple tracks for me, and Burn the best overall album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
