BassBus Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Black Night or maybe Sweet Child of mine or maybe Highway Star. I don't know. There's only one way to find out... 1 Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Fireball, mainly for the drum intro. Quote

Paul S Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1484508432' post='3215977'] Black Night or maybe [u][b]Sweet Child of mine[/b][/u] or maybe Highway Star. I don't know. There's only one way to find out... [/quote] I think that was Guns and Roses.... I guess Child in Time? Anyway, I can't just have one. Highway Star, from made in Japan. The Gold one. http://youtu.be/h_eSq56zXEU Burn. First time I saw them was on the 'Burn' tour. Nice live version here, before Coverdale had his 'makeover': http://youtu.be/t4fDCwDiWJQ Ted The Mechanic, my favourite from the Morse years. http://youtu.be/E3Dr9ZCBclk Quote
tony_m Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 The whole of the "Made In Europe" album, with honourable mentions for Highway Star and Lazy from earlier days. Quote
mikel Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Favorite means 1 as far as I am concerned , it would have to be Black night. Sweet Child in Time was good though. Quote
pete.young Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Smoke on the Water from Made In Japan. Iconic in so many ways. Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I have a soft spot for Perfect Strangers myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ_kez7WVUU Quote
3below Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Lazy Made in Japan - the jazziness, timing, dynamic etc etc. Just like the rest of Made in Japan. Quote

ead Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 So many good ones. How about Pictures Of Home from the earlier catalogue or Anya for a few years later. Quote

[/quote] Just lightheartedly noting that it hasn't quite got everything we might associate with Purple whilst cheekily suggesting that IG (and for that matter GH) are better vocalists than Coverdale.

Bbiigg Kev Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 How about This time around / owed to G from the Funktastic and very underrated Bolin, Coverdale, Covernote as he was known, Hughes, Lord, Paice line up album Come taste the band ? Quote
grumpyoldfart Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Space Trucking from Machine Head https://youtu.be/VmB1b087qVQ Quote
TrevorR Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Three spring to mind for me... Highway Star, Black Night and Space Truckin' for that crushing riff! http://youtu.be/hHOrpFeXUao Edited January 15, 2017 by TrevorR Quote
leroydiamond Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Highway Star from 'Made in Japan'. What an Album!. Quote

[/quote] Do you have any empirical data to prove this? 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
Count Bassy Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I've always ha d a soft spot for Lazy. Used to cover it in a long gone band. Quote

[/quote] Different of course. All three had a lot to offer. Hughes impresses me most. Quote
