    JP and Witt, you had a tough assignment, playing Roger Glover and Ian Paice isn't easy, and you made it look easy!
    Guitars: Great job, just too many of you for this song. Which is why the guitar duel. Fantastically done, but it robbed Erin of one of the shining moments in the song. She did a fantastic job with what was left of the keyboards. I say give her a B3 and let her ROCK it! (Literally, like Jon did)

    Awesome. I think you really appreciate the great songs once you see (up close) them performed live and the complexity of the songs. This song and "Carry on Wayward Son" has so many moving parts, guitar harmonization along with the keyboard. You really appreciate the talent of the original artists more along with those that can superbly cover those songs.

    HOLY CRAP!!! Outstanding all the way around. I knew it was going to kick when the first singer hit all of Gillian’s intro notes. Then was totally blown away by the solo switch. It is totally something Deep Purple would have done. The drummer hit all of Paice’s licks smoothly- it didn’t sound forced. The guitar players nailed the solo just like Satriani does with Cicken Foot. And the vocals were just butt kicking amazing. This long time Deep Purple fan can’t say enough about how great this was! BRAVO ZULU!!!

    Never cared that much for this song but this version is awesome. So much talent. The guitarists in particular are killing it, but there are o weak links here - everybody performs to pro standards.
    Just listened to some of the cool old originals that SOR Allstars cover, including this one. It’s truly amazing how much objectively better the School of Rock Allstars’ versions are, this song but so many others too. Much better vocals of course, but quite often better arrangements and tighter, cleaner instrumental work too. Major kudos to the kids but also to the instructors and the music director(s).
    Every time I listen to this I pick up more. This time I really keyed in on the keyboardist, drummer and bassist, and man are they killing it. Not a lot of new eight piece rock bands today but these kids would be huge as a band, just so much talent.
