    The story behind this song is the song. They were in Switzerland to record an album. The studio was located in a casino where Frank Zappa and the mothers of Inventions were playing a show. Someone in the crowd fired a flair gun causing a fire that destroyed the building. (luckily no one died) using borrowed equipment from the Rolling Stones they set up a studio in a hotel and finished the album. But they still needed one more song and this song was born. The smoke on the water refers to the smoke going over lake Geniva.

      The 1970 TV performance gets a lot of reactions because it's a video but is disappointing for those who know what Purple is capable of on this song. Gillan is great in that video, but Blackmore's solo is not up to his usual high standards. Even more disappointing is the lack of a duel between the guitarist and Lord on the organ.
      Fans who know point to Child in Time (Live In Stockholm 1970) as the definitive live version. Link: ua-cam.com/video/GzWKB_dfoLA/v-deo.html song begins at 1:28:29

      ​@@user-cf6kt7ed4o I've always felt, and I thought that I read somewhere once that this song was a pretty significant factor in the reason why Ian Gillan left Deep Purple!! Something along the lines of Blackmore going against Gillan's wishes to not do the song so often when they were on tour! Reason being it was pretty stressful on Ian's vocal cords and doing it too often probably gave him distress!! Do you have any information on that??

    Great story telling song.
    It's about when they were going to record at Montreux Casino (by Lake Geneva), but the night before that Frank Zappa played there and some idiot in the audience fired a flare gun and burned the place down. From their hotel, Deep Purple could watch the smoke from the fire drift over the lake, knowing their recording wasn't going to happen. :(
    They had a mobile recording studio but needed somewhere to set it up. After a week they rented a whole hotel to do it.

    Love that song, great people raise from the ashes and always make something awesome, wonderful and beautiful, 70s was the funkin golden age of rock and roll, yes, during the 70s for the most part you could be yourself, you had more freedom to be you and for the most part all were equal, didn't matter if you were rich or poor, you were treat the same, but that wasn't everywhere, the hippie movement almost got people to believe in flowerism(treating all with respect and love) instead of what came after in the 80s materialism 🙏🙏🙏

    Yep, "some stupid with a flair gun, burnt the place to the ground" hence the film in the background. Silly fact I was 11 yrs old and on holiday in Scotland and bought my very first LP,...... Deep Purple Made in Japan. LOVE THEM, definitely listen to Child in Time one of my favourite songs... listen to it live.

    You’re so correct about 70’s fashion…I was in my teens and young adult years during that decade.
    Bell bottoms/flared pants, wide lapel jackets, scarves…young guys looked at how Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Robert Plant dressed and tried to copy the swag…👍🏼😎

    I remember watching an interview with Richie Blackmore, where he explains that the main riff to Smoke on the water was basically just Beethoven’s fifth played backwards in fourths as he was heavily influenced by classical music at the time.

      Similarly, the famous piano riff that opens "Tubular Bells" (1973) was Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor," with the notes upside down.

    You noted that the singer "took us to church" on that one vocal ornament, so here's a bit of trivia for you, Britt. Ian Gillan, the vocalist for Deep Purple, is the voice of Jesus on the original recording of Jesus Christ Superstar, the rock opera concept album by Andrew LLoyd Webber and Tim Rice. If you are not familiar with that work, I highly recommend it. Gillan is spectacular, as are all the vocalists on that recording, now over 50 years old. And by the way, I still have the 45 RPM single for Smoke on the Water I bought when the song came out (also 50 years ago!)

    I agree about fashion in the 70s. It was different than the 60s...much less conformity. When I was in high school denim was the thing for sure. Much of the basic style is still worn today too.

    I was 17 when this was new in 1973. Every kid, for deacdes afterward, who went to the music store, would grab a guitar and play this simple opening guitar riff....and the constant repetition of this would drive the employees out of their minds! HAHAHAHA. ANYBODY, I mean ANYBODY, could play that riff on the guitar, even if they did NOT know how to play! Even other kids started rolling their eyes when they heard their friends playing this...I swear to God, kids are STILL playing this riff in the music stores...I wouldn't want to be working in Guitar Center...😂

    Great reaction - keep in mind something about the 1970s - most people were middle class / working class - and could only afford basic clothing - so clothing itself hadn't taken on any "status symbol" importance yet. This is why the clothing of the 1970s is what - today - is referred to as "vintage clothing" - because it's a style of clothing that predates mass commercialism / marketing. I still dress in very simple clothing - some of it - old jackets for example - have stayed in my family - handed down from my dad to me. I'm 54 - and i kept some of his things because i still like the style - even today. I wish we had a time machine - we could go back to the 70's - i think you would have liked it - but i also think you would start to miss your cell phone / computer. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. But yes - i have fond memories of the '70's - great decade of music / art. Thanks for your reaction.

    I've never heard that before! He said, "Break your leg, Frank". It's an obvious reference to when Frank was rushed and attacked by an angry audience member in London. Frank suffered many injuries, including a fractured leg, which laid him up for almost a year.

    when I was about 12-13 years old (early-mid 1980's) I was at a guitar shop looking to buy a new guitar and I was playing this song and out of no where Richie Blackmore cam around a stack of amps and showed me the correct way to play the guitar intro!! Man I was so lucky! Also I am loving the love you have for the music I grew up on!
