Top 10 Deep Purple and Rainbow Songs with the Best Videos

Deep Purple and Rainbow have several musicians who played for both bands and that was the reason to make a common list. The other reason was that these 2 bands don't have many video clips - these bands focused on music and not on videos. Half of the video clips just show the band playing but if you are interested in who played it and how he played it, you will like those vids as well.

Musicians who were in both bands:
Ritchie Blackmore (guitars)
Joe Lynn Turner (vocals)
Roger Glover (bass)
Don Airey (keyboards)

1 Smoke on the Water - Rock Aid Armenia

This cover song and its video were recorded in 1989 for charity, following the Armenian earthquake in 1988. The video shows how legendary rock and metal musicians play this legendary song - members of Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Queen, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Yes, Rush, and more.

Vox - Ian Gillan, Bruce Dickinson, Paul Rogers, Bryan Adams
Keyboards - Keith Emerson, Geoff Downes

2 Death Alley Driver - Rainbow

I like the racing in the video - it is a suitable idea for this pretty fast song (I'd say speed metal song, 1982). But nothing beats the speed of the solos.

Vox: Joe Lynn Turner

3 Ariel - Rainbow

A great power ballad from Rainbow's final album released in 1995.
Vox: Doogie White

4 Knocking at Your Back Door - Deep Purple

The song is also very good, the intro is unique, mimicking a knocking sound on the instruments

5 The Surprising - Deep Purple
6 Perfect Strangers - Deep Purple

You can't often see Ritchie Blackmore smiling so it's your chance, haha

7 Can't Let You Go - Rainbow
