Deep Purple 1973 – The Album That Destroyed the Band

Video Description

Deep Purple’s seventh studio album, Who Do We Think We Are (1973), stands as one of the most misunderstood records in rock history. Born in chaos, recorded in exhaustion, and released at the height of fame, it became the breaking point that shattered the legendary Mark II lineup. In this documentary, I take you inside the band’s internal battles between Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, and the rest of the group. The pressures of relentless touring, clashing egos, and personal struggles shaped every note — turning what could have been another triumph into the album that ended Deep Purple’s golden era. From the hit “Woman from Tokyo” to overlooked gems, we’ll retrace the downfall of one of rock’s greatest bands and uncover how this album became the record that broke Deep Purple apart. #DeepPurple #IanGillan #RitchieBlackmore #JonLord #RogerGlover #IanPaice #ClassicRock #Documentary #RockHistory #1973 You can donate via PayPal at: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LY4SW3YMMU5QE You can support me on Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/calvomonturiol Thank you for supporting my channel, please hit the like button and subscribe!
