Jon Lord Doubles The Guitar Part On A Hammond B3 Organ Played Through A Distorted Marshall Amp Creating A Tone Very Similar To That Of The Guitar. Blackmore Uses Two Fingers To Pluck 2 So The Pairs Of Notes Can Be Played Exactly Simultaneously To Match The Organ's Timing More Closely.

The First Solo Is Performed On Guitar By Ritchie Blackmore And The Second And Final Solo Is Performed On An Organ By Jon Lord Until The Song Fades Out.

The Resulting Fire Destroyed The Entire Casino Complex Along With All The Mothers' Equipment.
