I heard this after Burn and it blew my mind. The versatility and textural canvas was something new demanding attention. I stood up and listened. Still listening to it to this day.
Its a phenomenal album in every way. A groundbreaking rock album opening the floodgates for rock to come. Among the most important albums of its era. It’s relentless in its power and virtuosity. It’s as phenomenal today as it was then.
In Rock is a Genre of it's own. Proto Metal, trash, Jazz and Classical elements. It was different than Zeppelin's and Sabbath's first. In Rock will always be my favorite studio Album.
I was 15, a drummer when in rock came out. Still my favourite of all time. The last track, Hard lovin man, is the ultimate in their talent. Maybe some progrock/ fusion/ jazz bands in 2023 are as good.. but that was 50 years ago! No comparison!!
I was 12 in 1970 when I first heard "In Rock" from my older brothers collection. I still remember where I was and what I was doing. There was never an album that had more influence on me.
Never judge a book by its cover. I did, and happy I did!!!!! The Who live at Leeds, was the competition. Purple won out, thank God!! I knew a lot of Who singles, but, only one DP song, Strange Kind of Woman!!!! BIG turning point in my life. I was 13. Raging hormones and Deep Purple, what a combination!!!
Child in time live them playing it on tv was fn absolutely amazing I never really got into them but seeing that and watching them do their thing sucked me in like a vacuum
Love all the tracks 'Hard lovin man' and 'flight or the rat' are my top two songs off the album. Most of my favourite songs by bands are not always the most well known .
The American record label edited the live sonic mayhem that is the intro to Speed King, out of the US release. They obviously thought it was too extreme, when it is exactly what made this band so great. No one sounds like Deep Purple, live and at full tilt. That’s why Made in Japan is the best live hard rock album ever made … For me In Rock is up there with the very best rock albums.
Deep purple 'in rock ' is a pioneering album (screaming vocals, blistering guitar from Blackmore, furious drumming, Hammond plugged-in marshall amps) it blew zeppelin and sabbath away in my opinion.
The rhythm, pace, vocals, blistering guitar solo and (not to mention) GONG of Hard Lovin' Man make is the best song on the album. What a way to finish.
This was a life altering album that I discovered my junior year in high school. This, along with Humble Pie Rock On, were both mainstays for me along with Yes Close to the Edge and Jo Jo Gunne. What a fantastic time in music.
When "in rock" appeared I'd been 14 years young, and it let me forget all music I listened before! It had been like a steamhammer, and I'm a hardrock freak until today.
Mark2 created their own genre with the monumental In Rock album. It was a genre of which only they ever played. They were quite simply the greatest group of rock musicians of all-time.
There was a double-header show in Cape Town in 1996, with Deep Purple and Uriah Heap. I not only got high on their incredible music, but also from the fumes of weed everybody around me were smoking.😅
I can remember seing Deep Purple with Uriah Heep as support back in 2002 or 2003 in Aarhus Congres Center in Denmark. One of the finest concerts ever in my life. They were both on the top.
Deep Purple - Deep Purple In Rock. In Rock foi lançado em Junho de 1970. Quarto disco de uma banda em crescente evolução e, o álbum derradeiro, que veio a consolidar-lhes a fama atribuída de precursores do Hard-Heavy e Rock-Metal. Extremamente pesado e virtuoso, marca a entrada de Ian Gillan e Roger Glover nos vocais e contra-baixos, respectivamente. A banda, em mais de 40 minutos extrapola os limites até então estabelecidos da música e desfila sua magistral exuberância agressiva. Ian Gillan prova ao mundo seu poder e domínio lírico atingindo tons e notas inimagináveis - uma criança açoitada, torturada, fugindo em desespero e angústia do inferno. Ritchie Blackmore incorpora o espírito incendiário de Hendrix executando solos e riff´s matadores. John Lord, impõe-se como mestre dos teclados, cunhando distorções em seu Hammond tão sujas e destrutivas quanto uma chuva de meteoros. A "cozinha" baixo-bateria (Ian Paice e Roger Glover) revigorou sua competência desafiadora ressaltando exímias musicalidades. Deep Purple In Rock é tudo o que sua própria e altiva capa representa: um marco, um clássico absoluto. Nota 10.
One of my most cherished items I have is the entire band signing in rock album. I picked it up from a collector and I'm gonna hang on that until the day I die. Then it's going. To auction for charity.
Purple's best, in my opinion, but this is not a great documentary on the album. The interviews are fine - especially the older clips of the band - but they only mention two songs from the album, and gloss over side 2 completely. Why? Those are four brilliant, genre-defining songs. Flight Of The Rat has it all - pace, agression, technique, solos for everyone (almost). Also didn't even mention Black Night, released as the single at the time and got to #2 in the charts, and surely a major factor in driivng the success of the album. Overall, some nice touches, and some great footage, but poorly written and put together.
My prefer in studio album of Deep Purple. well... it's at 1st position in my top-list. I love its groove , I love how they mix and jammed music there and all the heavy in sounds, but more in musical notes. When I listen Child in time or Speed king... I dreamed, I have been abducted from those songs. Later in listening DP I loved also other tracks. One of my favourite is Living Wreck. Maybe the only flaw in this album is that there are masterpieces that detract from other masterpieces. Future generations will listen to this album (like Led Zeppelin II and Black Sabbath too) as we listen now to Mozart or Beethoven, because is music that enters your soul and heart and shakes them. in my opinion Deep Purple Mark II is the best rock band ever. No one could reach what they made in the best live albums ever: Made in Japan and Live in Stockholm 1970.
In Rock is definitely one of the greatest rock albums of all time and it really helped settle the blueprint for the heavy metal that would come later. from Motörhead to Van Halen to Diamond Head to Iron Maiden to Metallica to Megadeth to Dream Theater, you can hear its influence. were it not for the craziness and the progressiveness of In Rock, metal would be really different today.
The opening songs may be the most obvious, epic ones, but coming back to this album it's a song like Flight of the Rat that appeals to me more. Typically, this is partly because that song lacks the over-the-top screaming that I once found impressive. Now I prefer a more down-to-earth, hard-hitting song with a good groove, the necessary virtuosity and suprises.
in rock was the real pre metal album, in case of virtuosity far beyound led zep 1 and the first black sabbath albums (and i like all that stuff). Ritchie was the first shredder.
It was from Mk I before Gillan and Glover joined the band. But, yes, it was great. Another one is the solo in "River Deep, Mountains High"! Pure genius.
33:45 I really don’t get what’s so hard to understand. Child in time is about Karma. ‘You better close your eyes, you better bow your head . . wait for the ricochet’. Karma - what you put out, comes back.
Nick Stemper really got screwed. I don’t want to be misunderstood…Roger Glover was/is one of the finest bassists in rock history and was a perfect “fit” for DP. But the way that Stemper was replaced could have been done much better.
Raised on classical music and hijacked by rock guitar in my teens. The guitar solo to “Kentucky Woman” is a hall-of-fame half-minute. Still, I came to the DP discography late. The Concerto is a hoot! Why waste time slagging it? How many other musicians did that? Mr Lord himself evidently said that at the end of the Concerto one could have put the smiles of the band end to end and “spanned the Thames.”
Every time I see that live footage I'm amazed how the audience seem like cardboard cut-outs... until they clap at the end. Never seen an audience so totally immobile!
It all came together with that line-up; brilliant but as unstable as ever. Of course, a year or two later, it all happened again. Being a key operator in the rock firmament must have been like walking on shifting sand.
Purple were a great band in the '70's but after that like Sabbath their decline began . Now they are old men still touring and still trading on their past glories and reputations . Glad l saw them when they were at their peak .
After the peak, everyone begins to decline - this is the law of life and physics, and they earned fame by their own labor and can use it as they want, only they are not content with this and create without stopping. What inspires them I understand, but what inspires you and people like you is a mystery to me.
@@ninoorjon They don't create . They trade on past glories , play old material from the '70's when they were at their peak of creativity and are now a greatest hits band . To me that's futile , greedy and pointless. Sorry Nino . They should retire .
@@clouddog2393 Wow, radically. And these albums that they record are actually real or the products of the fantasy of crazy fans? Do they take you to their concerts by force? If not, then it's none of your business whether they stop performing or not.
@@ninoorjon Not saying that Nino . Just stating that l would'nt want to see them today . My opinion only . l'm not singling out just Purple but to my mind any old band with members in their '70's are well past their sell by date although obviously people still want to see them . Not for me however . Later material is very rarely as good as the classic stuff but l prefer to remember them as young men when the creative juices were flowing . Let's agree to disagree .
Rod Evans was not right for Deep Purple but really came to shine in his own band Captain Beyond. The 1972 self-titled debut album is one of the best debut albums in rock; innovative and progressive. Sadly, it didn't get the promotion it needed by the record company at the time.
One of the greatest hard rock albums of all time, in my opinion.
Definitely one of the greatest rock album of the era and of rock history.
I heard this after Burn and it blew my mind. The versatility and textural canvas was something new demanding attention. I stood up and listened. Still listening to it to this day.
Its a phenomenal album in every way. A groundbreaking rock album opening the floodgates for rock to come. Among the most important albums of its era. It’s relentless in its power and virtuosity. It’s as phenomenal today as it was then.
Best album of complete hard and heavy music ever!
This is the icon of heaven metal. Deep Purple in Rock will go down down in history as a masterpiece 💜
It is the world needs to catch one more.
In Rock is a Genre of it's own. Proto Metal, trash, Jazz and Classical elements. It was different than Zeppelin's and Sabbath's first. In Rock will always be my favorite studio Album.
I was 15, a drummer when in rock came out. Still my favourite of all time. The last track, Hard lovin man, is the ultimate in their talent. Maybe some progrock/ fusion/ jazz bands in 2023 are as good.. but that was 50 years ago! No comparison!!
The best Paice's drum track is You fool no one.
I have been waiting for this for decades! Thanks for uploading!✌
Our pleasure!
I remember hearing “Hush” in 1968, when I was 6 years old. My favourite is still the third self-titled album, followed by “In Rock”.
For me this album is an absolute classic album, together with Fireball. I was 12 when I bought it, it had just been released!!
The Concerto was a brilliant piece of writing and performance. All the guys are top musos, and they pulled it off.
"The greatest rock band of all time" Amen!!!!
I was 12 in 1970 when I first heard "In Rock" from my older brothers collection. I still remember where I was and what I was doing. There was never an album that had more influence on me.

Dome is talking nonsense when he calls the Concerto "pretentious". It was a great piece of work, no 'pretentions' anywhere to be seen.
He talks nonsense about a lot of bands. 😃
@@macm3081: He's died, sadly.
@@AlexAlexon3897 RIP Malcolm.
I like it.
I’ve always felt that DP was as much a phenomenon as a band.
RIP Jon Lord…..rock on Paicey…
DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK ME CAMBIO LA VIDA BANDA PREFERIDA DE MI VIDA Y QUE ESCUCHO HASTA HOY CON 64 AÑOS !!!
In Rock is Deep Purple's best album!!
By far my friend
I agree better than machine head. Only one tie is made in japan the very best live lp of any rock band ever.
Deep purple 'in rock ' is a pioneering album (screaming vocals, blistering guitar from Blackmore, furious drumming, Hammond plugged-in marshall amps) it blew zeppelin and sabbath away in my opinion.
It was great. Nothing 'blew away' Black Sabbath.
Purple found their footprint with this album , will always be my favorite Purple album .
The rhythm, pace, vocals, blistering guitar solo and (not to mention) GONG of Hard Lovin' Man make is the best song on the album. What a way to finish.
This was a life altering album that I discovered my junior year in high school. This, along with Humble Pie Rock On, were both mainstays for me along with Yes Close to the Edge and Jo Jo Gunne. What a fantastic time in music.
Really one of the best bands in the world and live they were the greatest band ever. Always improvising.
Doogie seems like one of the nicest and genuine guy. Would love to have a beer with the guy and talk music.
All of Deep Purple members and songs I Love! Blackmore ,Gillan , Glover ,Paice , Lord my favorite though. Best band of all time hands down!
When "in rock" appeared I'd been 14 years young, and it let me forget all music I listened before! It had been like a steamhammer, and I'm a hardrock freak until today.

There was a double-header show in Cape Town in 1996, with Deep Purple and Uriah Heap. I not only got high on their incredible music, but also from the fumes of weed everybody around me were smoking.😅
Uriah Heep never got near the credit they deserved; a very good rock band too, early on.
I can remember seing Deep Purple with Uriah Heep as support back in 2002 or 2003 in Aarhus Congres Center in Denmark. One of the finest concerts ever in my life. They were both on the top.
One of my desert island albums. And def always in my top 5 albums.
“…I luv em,….I need em!” Long Live Blackmore and friends!
Gillan actually never sang Child in Time better than at the end of his first term, in Japan in 1972.
Unless you have been to every concert that IG sang at your opinion is very flawed / ridiculous
@@SJKWHU Well, I should have qualified: ON RECORD!
The greatest hard rock album of all time!! Prove me wrong!!
Greatest Rockband of all Time!!!!
I wish that side 2 wasn't ignored. I adore it!
Deep Purple Forever 🖤 💜
Really great band.

1973. Age 14. Tampa Stadium. Headliner, Deep Purple. Opening acts included Savoy Brown and Blue Oyster Cult.:)
The best album ever in history of rock and blues music,pioneers of heavy metal 🤘
Fantastic album!
I am A rare fan in that I enjoy all of deep purples line ups :
Always my favourite Mark II album.
The end of flight of the rat is the best ending of any deep purple song.
Their best LP.
One of my most cherished items I have is the entire band signing in rock album. I picked it up from a collector and I'm gonna hang on that until the day I die. Then it's going.

Deep Purple today in 2023 are a sad shadow of their glory days in the early 1970's. They should call it a day.
Meu disco preferido do Deep Purple é mais pesado parece está em fúria arrastando tudo como se fosse um furação Deep Purple IN Rock

That was a jammin happenin at that playboy after dark gig doin hush i must say
maior banda de rock do mundo
my favorite Dp album
Machine Head was my first LP from them, and still my favorite. This was my second LP from them, ergo my second favorite.😆
I loveee deep purpleee❤❤❤❤
Hard Lovein’ Man was and is a great hard drivin’ song on In Rock🎸

Deep Purple fan forever Child in time song best!
Deep Purple Mk1's second and third albums are awesome.
Not a bad documentary, but I wish they'd have included more than two songs off the album.
Deep Purple was great but Emerson Lake & Palmer was great too for me the best prog rock band that ever was
33:45 I really don’t get what’s so hard to understand. Child in time is about Karma. ‘You better close your eyes, you better bow your head . . wait for the ricochet’. Karma - what you put out, comes back.
Child in time guitar solo is like a finger exercise, nothing melodic but it perfectly fits to that song.
Love Deep purple
Nick Stemper really got screwed. I don’t want to be misunderstood…Roger Glover was/is one of the finest bassists in rock history and was a perfect “fit” for DP. But the way that Stemper was replaced could have been done much better.
Flight Of The Rat is so underrated.
This is true punk rock....brash, snotty and delivered.
Singapore, Jon's last concert, i was there
Its a shame that there not a lot of information about Rod Evans Deep Purples original singer

You can actually hear Ian Gillan playing congas on some recordings, when the band played soft :D
Under rated band
Huh what?
A quote from Janick Gers to me in a pub in Hartlepool - "Oh sorry, have you not met Ian before?"
Elliot's wrong - Uriah Heep are very different to Purple. Both great bands in their own right.
Very true
This was the classic DP with the founding fathers of the band lord and blackmore. ...unlike the today IG TRIBUTE COVER BAND
It all came together with that line-up; brilliant but as unstable as ever.
Of course, a year or two later, it all happened again.
Being a key operator in the rock firmament must have been like walking on shifting sand.
so thats it side 2 did not get a mention , what about Flight of the rat , hard loving man .
Sooooo, In Rock is LP with two songs, 1st side "Speed King" and on the 2nd "Child In Time".
What are you talking about?
The whole episode they talk only about those two songs from "In rock"?

Buenísimo! Para los hispanohablantes tengo un video en mi canal sobre este álbum y su contexto histórico :)
It started something which is not yet finished... Jon Lord
Oranges and apples. One original member in band Ian Paice.
I love unofficual documentorys. Where randown dudies are talking and making general statmenrs about deep purple
Blackmore's vision for In Rock was for it to be a 'party album.'
Dome says the Concerto was a "one off" - ever heard of Gemini Suite, Malcolm?
Love
Interesting that in the videos, with all the excitement on stage, most of the audience look half dead!
And I wonder what, with all the excitement on the stage, people notice half dead audience. ☺
The audience was told to be still and quiet as the concert was being recorded.
