It's not really distortion but listen during the last verse, at 1:55, he hits these inverted 5ths (I bet that's where Ritchie Blackmore got 'em for "Smoke"!) as punctuation and you can tell his amp was just rockin'. Must have been loud as hell. Top

That whole Live At Ciros album from which this performance is dubbed is full of that glorious live tone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4clQ7iW11o Top

Must have been loud as hell. I really sounds like Japanese Eleki doesn't it? I also really like the drums on this one and the non reverb Let's Go Trippin'. Of course to me Dale and heavy reverb is really where it's at! Top

Must have been loud as hell. I always thought this and the cut of Deltone Rock were done by one of the DelTones. The use of the vibrato and play style don't sound Dick-ish to me, but I could be wrong. Top
