BEST GUITAR SOLOS of the 70’s! Pt 9 #shorts
“Highway Star“ is a song by the English rock band Deep Purple. It is the opening track on the band’s sixth studio album Machine Head (1972) and is the fastest tempo song on the album. It is characterised by long, classically-inspired guitar and organ solos.[6]
History
This song was born on a tour bus going to Portsmouth in 1971 when a reporter asked the band how they wrote songs. To demonstrate, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed an acoustic guitar and began playing a riff consisting of a single “G“ repeated over and over, while vocalist Ian Gillan improvised lyrics over the top. The song was refined and was performed that same night.[7] The song first appeared on the 1972 LP Machine Head and remained one of the band’s live concert staples, being the set opener even before it was released on any album.
Record World said of the U.S. single release that “This mover has a Led Zeppelin tint to it, and that could bring group back to the top of the pops.“[8]
The very first live version released, recorded live for German TV program Beat-Club in September 1971, is featured on the History, Hits & Highlights ’68–’76 DVD. It is the opening track on the live albums Nobody’s Perfect (1988), Come Hell or High Water (1994), and From the Setting Sun… (In Wacken) (2015).[9] The most famous live version is featured on the 1972 live album Made in Japan. The Guardian said, “Blackmore’s playing is like a force of nature on the Made in Japan version; those slashing chords in the intro, and that amazing solo featuring the distinctive neo-classical descending runs, combining the spirits of Bach and Jimi Hendrix.“
