I would absolutely love you see your reaction to pink floyd "the great gig in the sky" although I would suggest so that you get the full context of the song you should first listen to the song "time" because it comes first on the album. Love your reactions.
You need to remember this was live in 1970. There was no UA-cam or internet to seek and source vocal techniques. No vocal teachers had even heard metal vocals back then. In fact metal never even existed. These guys pretty much had no one to copy which demonstrated the uniqueness and originality of music during this time. To put it simply this song is pure brilliance.
no offence intended ,, but you cant learn to do this, the lyrics written by Ian are core to the emotion he puts in this song. hitting a note can be taught, singing from your guts cant
Deep Purple is one of the best bands of all times. Contrary to now all the members of the bands were virtuosos on their instruments and apart of the technical prodigy have a vast sense of musicality.
@@emjem99 theres only a few that could be considered the “right stuff” sadly. people who play real music are laughed at and get no recognition. if it aint rap, it aint anything in the eyes of most 20 year olds (my age) and high schoolers.
@@bjaded1 There are many, many bands and artists performing and recording these days that are every bit as good and musically exciting as the old virtuosos but, as you intimate, you're not going to find them inside mainstream media outlets. Fortunately those of us who want to hear today's great music don't have to work too hard to find them.
No synthesizers no auto tune. The organ was essentially a church variety. These guys were the true masters of rock. Ian Gillian has an outstanding voice. Together with Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin he owned the vocal titles in the seventies Great reaction
Ian Gillan was unreal, most women cannot hit those top A notes with that consistency. He had everything, beauty, technique, power, phrasing and of course ridiculous range.
What really blows my mind in this performance is the perfectly synchronised ending of the (chaotic sounding) crescendos. As if there was an invisible director signalling them (especially since it's not quite the same as on the studio version, it doesn't sound rehearsed at all). Pure musicianship.
“Child in Time” is the vocal elite. .Few and few can bring something so big to the surface. With "Child in Time" a star was placed in the sky of rock and there, on top, it continues to shine. We will not go back to it, we simply have to continue contemplating that milky way in which Deep Purple entered, It is more… they have several stars.
Dear Maggie, you need to react to Ian Gillan singing Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar. Ian is singing it in the released concept album. That was before the musical was created and he didn't follow up on that because of a conflicting schedule with Deep purple. But he nailed *no pun intended* the song better than anyone else after him. (ps he also did the and like I said nailed the whole album in just three hours and then he went on stage with Deep Purple the same day)
I love Gillan's voice, Pavarotti said it best when he called it a "force of nature". The crescendos are reinforced falsetto and the slow vibrato is intended to give it a haunting quality and contrast with HHD uptempo changes the rest of the song is iirc his regular voice. I'm not certain who said he's a baritone but Ian is actually a tenor. Another tenor I think you might enjoy is Midnight from Crimson Glory. He was an E2-B5 tenor with fabulous phrasing and a rare talent for emotional inflection. Check out Eternal World or In Dark Places from the Transcendence album.
I was a kid when I discovered Deep Purple, today I have a great respect for these pioneeers. And the keyboard wizzard, Mr Jon Lord is absolutely fantastic. I saw them live-84 and that was my first big consert
The technique at 12:14 in your video is called a trill. It uses a combination of hammer-ons and pull-offs played together rapidly. (Instructional videos on youtube.) "Finger-style" generally refers to the picking hand and is a form of what classical guitarists typically play. You use your fingers to pick the notes instead of a plectrum. Nice auto mechanic analogy!
Ian Gillan is one of my favourite singers, because he carries emotions so gorgeously well. Isn‘t it like weeping when he does the Uuuhs and isnt it like screaming his heart out when he does the aaaahs? And this man can scream! And he‘s got rhythm in his blood! Still today as an aged musician he‘s one of the best singers when it comes to emotions.
That's exactly what I heard too. The initial "ooo" is a gentle weeping, the first scream is a more desperate wailing, and the second scream is a scream of loss and terror. Even the choice of vibratto seems tweaked to create the effects. Considering the song is about people around the world being shot by a blind man, and all the sinners ("if you've been bad and not been hit by flying lead... wait for the ricochet") dying, then there's plenty to be weeping, wailing and screaming about. Seems like a song about war, or judgment.
I have been listening to DP for over 45 years. This song and this version of it is truly amazing. What I want to know, how can the audience just sit there while they jam, just motionless without emotion? I would be going nuts. Great review Maggie. RIP Jon Lord, you are missed!
I think Ian's best vocal range and abilities are on display on the original Jesus Christ Superstar Album. Jon Lord had some solo work and concerts that are amazing.
Absolutely agree. Love his Gethsemane but did you realise that Judas had the harder vocals. I know because I've done it twice. JC has one huge moment in Gethsemane, Judas has several shockers. To be honest my voice didn't make it through all the shows.
this is the best video recording the best live band in history. Deep Purple with Made In Japan and Live In Stockholm 1970 did what no other band did. But Deep Purple is not only a live band but one of the most productive and best composing bands in history, at least in their first three formations.
I have a feeling she didn't really feel the song, got it. She just made gestures and movements that didn't go with the song at all, like it was any mediocre song.
I've seen many reprises & "Reaction to" this video... Most of time they don't get the sadness behind, but everyone is humble seeing this greatness. Not only she cannot, but olso... Here, her "status" makes her think she can sing anythig he sang... You need to practice an hundred more years to reach this level, at least half a century not to hurt my ears on this song...
All phenomenal performers, no autotune nonsense, all live instruments. The guitarist was doing hammer ons and pull offs with his left hand. The audience were so static, I would have been rocking out.
Funny when you mention how loud they would be, a great line by Ian Gillan on their classic "Made in Japan" album, "can we have everything louder than everything else"
This to me is the greatest heavy metal song ever recorded in my time. Richie Blackmore's amazing guitar contrasted Jon Lord (rip)'s incredible keyboards. Ian Gillan, pronounced with a hard G as in a fish's gill. Ian was by far the best heavy metal singer of that era but the band went through some changes. Gillan also appeared on one of the original JC Superstar recording.
They went through 2 lead singers throughout the yrs. Ian Gillan & David Coverdale . Their album " Live In Japan " is pretty good. They recently had a farewell tour with Ian on vocals .
The band had 4 main vocalists (Evans, Gillan, Coverdale and Turner) and 1 backing vocalist who performed solo parts (Hughes). The main and best of course is Gillan, although fans of the other 4 vocalists can dispute this, but the fact remains.
Using the fingers for fast playing are called "hammer ons" and "pull offs" it allows for fast playing without having to pick the string with your dominant hand.
When Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice heard this song, they had Ian Gillan play the part a Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar", in the original soundtrack.
Deep Purple have just released a new album , Ian Gillan (pronounced with a Guh as opposed to the Ji sound ) is 76 now and he's still got a great voice , yer man was blessed by the music gods . He also did some solo stuff in a band called Gillan , oddly enough :) .. Highly recommend one of Purples newer tracks "Perfect Strangers" it's only nearly 40 years old lol
Such a brilliant masterpiece and to think that there is another version of this that is just as good is pretty mind boggling. Another fantastic Purp piece is Soldier of Fortune.
Jon Lord, the keyboord player, was classically trained and he made a solo album which he considered one of his proudest achievements. Maggie, you probably know what a sarabande is, so you should listen to Jon Lord's epic album "Sarabande". And then you should watch the live recordings here on UA-cam, esppecially "Gigue".
Well I just had to say this chick is amazing! She knows what she's doing, and why she's doing it. It's so fun to watch her totally get into the music. Her facial expressions and body language says it all. Yet, that's not enough! She also uses these great little emojis and emoticons to further communicate how she's feeling while listening to the music. Maggie Renee is my favorite reactor yet!
Ian Gillan was also the lead in jesus christ superstar. He also performed with luciano pavarotti in an opera rendition. He is one of the most accomplished rock vocalist in rock.
What you were asking about "fingerstyle" was him doing a quick progression of hammer on and pull offs A hammer on is using the fret hand to tap.the string .producing a note A pull off is releasing the string sometimes with or without a slight bend pressure.
Deep Purple has been in my record collection since 68. If u listen to Unleash The Archers’ Awakening you’ll notice the similarities to the guitar riffs to Deep Purple’s Space Truckin from their Machine Head album.
THey are one of my all time favorite bands from the 70's thanks to my mom. Machine Head is my all time fave of their records because I love "Space Truckin". I have said that if I even go into space that song will be playing as I go up. 🕓
my generation, my music, our parents thought we were crazy and screamed when we played these songs, our music was exceptional and these bands not only had messages to convey but their music and the musicians were at a level of perfection that few bands after them have matched, an era blessed by the gods, we are pleased that your generation appreciates our musical era 60s/70s, an italo-french fan
The "fingerstyle" technique you're asking about it just legato. I believe it's a wider, musical term, not only considered on guitar. The lick he's playing in that one place is very easy to do, comparing to some other licks from Blackmore.
Sweet analogy Maggie I am a mechanic and I have told people the exact explanation to justify my rates Everybody's time and effort is precious that is why you are special to me
RIP Jon Lord the master of the Hammond organ, the bored looking audience always make me laugh (I would have been happy to be there). I've been a fan for years and I would certainly consider them one of the early British heavy rock bands.
Not bored, mesmerizes! They are hearing greatness for the very first time and also they are on a TV show and were told to be still and quiet for a very deep song.
Ian Gilliam actually decided to stop performing this song as the highest notes were such a strain on his vocal chords. This video is from 1970. I saw them in concert in 72, The Smoke On the Water album. Needless to say they were JUST this amazing live 🥰 I sure would have LOVED to see this song performed live 👏💜
Loved this. Thank you! I was maybe 10 years old when they were creating their legend. My neighbor friend, at least 4 years older than me and who used me as his punching bag (sports wise), borrowed my new Bell & Howell cassette recorder. He did not take my Bobby Sherman cassettes, but did record a lot of his LPs for a road trip to his sister in another state. He recorded a ton of his albums. He returned home, gave me back my recorder, and told me to keep the cassettes for myself. UhOh. Three Dog Night (relatively light), Deep Purple, Steppenwolfe, Jimmy Paige (you know who!), Black Oak Arkansas, on & on. It changed my life, literally. I was adopted, so my parents (very old even then) did not understand the music, and allowed me to keep it. Wow. I got into singing as well. Not as epic as those guys, but I had a lot of fun with it, and travelled. So yeah, Maggie, I was happy to find you review this.
This was a great era for English bands. Deep Purple, Yes, Zeppellin were at the forefront and they each were very different but really pushed song writing and musical technique as far as they could. This was a great era. i always wished i had been around for it.
I've seen comments on other reaction sites questioning why the audience are sitting so quietly... It's because they were told to sit still so as not to interfere with the sound of the broadcast. This is back in the days before stereo TV and sound mixing a loud rock band for a tiny TV speaker was in its infancy. The audiences back then weren't stiff and unappreciative of their own volition. Just sorta an FYI...
Just for fun, have a listen to Ian Gillan in his time with Black Sabbath. The album was Born Again. My personal favourite track is Disturbing the Priest, closely followed by Trashed and Zero the Hero. A very important time in the life of the band as this was the last time Bill Ward toured with them and Geezer Butler took a long time-out from it as well after this album. I think you will really enjoy Disturbing the Priest.
This is the greatset bands of all times and right now they are out on the roads again. I´m seeing them in october when they come to Sweden. If you want to hear something really different to this but just as amazing check out a live version of "Sometimes I feel like screaming". It´s from the 90´s.
For a man to belt out an A5 is amazing…..Gillian is a beast. I’ve been a multi instrumentalist for 5 decades. I can learn to play just about anything on guitar or keys, but to able to sing like that amazes me. And no ma’am, that’s hammer on and pull offs. Very easy. Finger style is using fingers on the right hand instead of a pick. Mark knopfler is a good example of finger style…or Derek Trucks
Worth mentioning: the vibrato may seem slow...but it's on time. The vibrations are the 16th notes within that particular time signature at that particular bpm. This is where understanding ones place within an ensemble vs singing over music comes in. Every single one of them is perfectly on time with the other, down to the speed of the vibrato, which gives the piece that much more power.
Jovens (de hoje) devem nos dar parabéns por termos apoiado, curtido e incentivado os maiores músicos e bandas de todos os tempos. Graças a nós vcs estão curtindo isso hoje. "Agradeçam-nos"! Nós soubemos dar valor no momento certo! Hoje vcs curtem o que "NÓS" curtimos e valorizamos. (De nada!).
Holy cr*p. I already know how you like to sing along and do it well. I couldn't wait to hear your rendition of it! Incredible! Like you said: He makes it sound easy and so do you. But it has taken you both a lifetime to learn how to something like that. But these old rock gods aren't called gods for no reason!
Ritchie Blackmore was also in Rainbow and more reacently is doing a rock/renascence band that is incredable called Blackmore's Nights.he is married to the lead singer who is a fantastic singer. I saw them live several years ago in Westbury where they blew the place apart -his guitar work is amazing...his famous rift in Smoke on the water is Beethoven 5th backwards !
Thank you for your comment and THANK YOU again for being my Channel Member AND my Patron! Your support means a LOT to me!! I always want you to know how grateful I am and if you can make it, I am looking forward to singing for you tomorrow! 🥰💖🌹
12:08 I would have expected someone to answer this, but I didn't see it in a quick scan of the comments. Fingerstyle techniques refer to right-hand strumming or plucking techniques. He was using what are called hammer-ons and pull-offs, which are typically used for a legato feel, or to simplify what the right hand is doing. Or you can use them like he does here for a tremolo effect. On electric guitar the string can be kept vibrating indefinitely this way. Stevie Ray Vaughan would often perform extended phrases this way in his solos.
Great one Maggie! I've studied Ian's voice for a long time, exposed to his style from the Jesus Christ Superstar Rock Opera soundtrack, then Deep Purple. I'd recommend checking out the album version of this too. He double tracked the high parts, one with his signature vibrato and the other with a straight note. Found the straight note very hard to do when recording this in the studio. Take care! 😊🤘
When you listen to music live it hard to do what they do because there’s not to many good music we’re it comes. Together there not to many singers can do it Don’t many of they have far better
Who should I listen to and react to next?

Not Christian, but Ian Gillan as Jesus is awesome as is the whole album.

So true. His singing ranges from weeping of sadness to screaming of anger up to despair. At least that's how I feel it.
His vibrato is keeping time to the tempo with 16th notes.
16th or 8th?
That solo Vibrato is very characteristic of 70/80's metal singers, such as Dio and also Bruce Dickinson.
The vibrato here is basically synced to triplets of the underlying beat.

my generation, my music, our parents thought we were crazy and screamed when we played these songs, our music was exceptional and these bands not only had messages to convey but their music and the musicians were at a level of perfection that few bands after them have matched, an era blessed by the gods, we are pleased that your generation appreciates our musical era 60s/70s, an italo-french fan
Saw them last week. And they still got it!🤘
Did you miss "The flight of the bumblebee " in that second organ solo? Sheer genius
The "fingerstyle" technique you're asking about it just legato. I believe it's a wider, musical term, not only considered on guitar. The lick he's playing in that one place is very easy to do, comparing to some other licks from Blackmore.
Sweet analogy Maggie I am a mechanic and I have told people the exact explanation to justify my rates Everybody's time and effort is precious that is why you are special to me
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 🥰
The great Ian Gillan singing one of the best songs of all-time (in my humble opinion).
RIP Jon Lord the master of the Hammond organ, the bored looking audience always make me laugh (I would have been happy to be there). I've been a fan for years and I would certainly consider them one of the early British heavy rock bands.
Not bored, mesmerizes! They are hearing greatness for the very first time and also they are on a TV show and were told to be still and quiet for a very deep song.
iconic band
One of the most important songs ever writen
If you look at the crowd they just sit there. Wild
Ian Gilliam actually decided to stop performing this song as the highest notes were such a strain on his vocal chords. This video is from 1970. I saw them in concert in 72, The Smoke On the Water album. Needless to say they were JUST this amazing live 🥰 I sure would have LOVED to see this song performed live 👏💜
Loved this. Thank you! I was maybe 10 years old when they were creating their legend. My neighbor friend, at least 4 years older than me and who used me as his punching bag (sports wise), borrowed my new Bell & Howell cassette recorder. He did not take my Bobby Sherman cassettes, but did record a lot of his LPs for a road trip to his sister in another state. He recorded a ton of his albums. He returned home, gave me back my recorder, and told me to keep the cassettes for myself. UhOh. Three Dog Night (relatively light), Deep Purple, Steppenwolfe, Jimmy Paige (you know who!), Black Oak Arkansas, on & on. It changed my life, literally. I was adopted, so my parents (very old even then) did not understand the music, and allowed me to keep it. Wow. I got into singing as well. Not as epic as those guys, but I had a lot of fun with it, and travelled. So yeah, Maggie, I was happy to find you review this.
Thank you so much! 😊
Notice that Ian´s vibrato in the falsetto is in beat with the music so it´s no coincidence
I give her much credit for her giving it a real listen to and not being pre judgmental.
Its live. And from the heart.
😄
This was a great era for English bands. Deep Purple, Yes, Zeppellin were at the forefront and they each were very different but really pushed song writing and musical technique as far as they could. This was a great era. i always wished i had been around for it.
I should point out the slow vibrato is mostly in the same tempo as the tune, it's a nice effect.
I've seen comments on other reaction sites questioning why the audience are sitting so quietly...
It's because they were told to sit still so as not to interfere with the sound of the broadcast. This is back in the days before stereo TV and sound mixing a loud rock band for a tiny TV speaker was in its infancy.
The audiences back then weren't stiff and unappreciative of their own volition.
Just sorta an FYI...
Living proof that feeling the music cannot be taught.
Just for fun, have a listen to Ian Gillan in his time with Black Sabbath. The album was Born Again. My personal favourite track is Disturbing the Priest, closely followed by Trashed and Zero the Hero.
A very important time in the life of the band as this was the last time Bill Ward toured with them and Geezer Butler took a long time-out from it as well after this album.
I think you will really enjoy Disturbing the Priest.
Thanks for your comment. Did you like the new Black Sabbath reaction video I just posted?
@@maggiereneemusic I caught up with the War Pigs reaction just now but have not seen the Heaven and Hell one as I am not on Twitch
Geezer Butler went over to Ozzy...And Ian went to the reformed Deep Purple Mark 2....
This is my favorite deep purple song. Just for the creativity and it showcased all the members. And Ian's vocal range is incredible.
This is the greatset bands of all times and right now they are out on the roads again. I´m seeing them in october when they come to Sweden. If you want to hear something really different to this but just as amazing check out a live version of "Sometimes I feel like screaming". It´s from the 90´s.
I get so much joy from watching people new to this... Super lucky to have had this in my life since day dot.
Yes, play more "Deep Purple," Maggie 🕓
Already know it’s gonna be amazing
Just propose to her already JFC.
For a man to belt out an A5 is amazing…..Gillian is a beast.
I’ve been a multi instrumentalist for 5 decades. I can learn to play just about anything on guitar or keys, but to able to sing like that amazes me.
And no ma’am, that’s hammer on and pull offs. Very easy. Finger style is using fingers on the right hand instead of a pick. Mark knopfler is a good example of finger style…or Derek Trucks
Deep Purple, Perfect Strangers! You won't be sorry!
I remember hearing this as a teenager it brought me close to tears and made me want to play guitar.Ritchie Blackmore is another great from this era.
Worth mentioning: the vibrato may seem slow...but it's on time. The vibrations are the 16th notes within that particular time signature at that particular bpm.
This is where understanding ones place within an ensemble vs singing over music comes in. Every single one of them is perfectly on time with the other, down to the speed of the vibrato, which gives the piece that much more power.
Nice to hear the opinion of a classically trained singer,love her!
Thank you so much! 😊
Dude could just belt out the screams and no lyrics and would be a masterpiece
he kind of did that
Jovens (de hoje) devem nos dar parabéns por termos apoiado, curtido e incentivado os maiores músicos e bandas de todos os tempos. Graças a nós vcs estão curtindo isso hoje. "Agradeçam-nos"! Nós soubemos dar valor no momento certo! Hoje vcs curtem o que "NÓS" curtimos e valorizamos. (De nada!).
Holy cr*p. I already know how you like to sing along and do it well. I couldn't wait to hear your rendition of it! Incredible! Like you said: He makes it sound easy and so do you. But it has taken you both a lifetime to learn how to something like that. But these old rock gods aren't called gods for no reason!
that guitar part wouldn't be called fingerstyle, it's called hammering on/off, where he isn't picking at all, just using the left hand only
The fact that the crowd is just sitting there like nothing special is happening blows my mind.
Les dijeron que estuvieran en silencio porque era en directo para la televisión.
Deep Purple is my jam!
THANK YOUTO JERRY!
Ritchie Blackmore was also in Rainbow and more reacently is doing a rock/renascence band that is incredable called Blackmore's Nights.he is married to the lead singer who is a fantastic singer. I saw them live several years ago in Westbury where they blew the place apart -his guitar work is amazing...his famous rift in Smoke on the water is Beethoven 5th backwards !
Thank you for your comment and THANK YOU again for being my Channel Member AND my Patron! Your support means a LOT to me!! I always want you to know how grateful I am and if you can make it, I am looking forward to singing for you tomorrow! 🥰💖🌹
Thank You,Jerry.
Deep purple ..nada más q agregar ...descomunal banda y un Ian Guillan maravilloso ...junto con Robert plant ..las voces del rock and roll x siempre
12:08 I would have expected someone to answer this, but I didn't see it in a quick scan of the comments.
Fingerstyle techniques refer to right-hand strumming or plucking techniques.
He was using what are called hammer-ons and pull-offs, which are typically used for a legato feel, or to simplify what the right hand is doing.
Or you can use them like he does here for a tremolo effect. On electric guitar the string can be kept vibrating indefinitely this way. Stevie Ray Vaughan would often perform extended phrases this way in his solos.
The most entertaing 'Reaction' if have ever seen. Thank you so much.
So glad you enjoyed. Thank you for your lovely comment. 🤗
Great one Maggie! I've studied Ian's voice for a long time, exposed to his style from the Jesus Christ Superstar Rock Opera soundtrack, then Deep Purple. I'd recommend checking out the album version of this too. He double tracked the high parts, one with his signature vibrato and the other with a straight note. Found the straight note very hard to do when recording this in the studio. Take care! 😊🤘
Beautiful classic
When you listen to music live it hard to do what they do because there’s not to many good music we’re it comes. Together there not to many singers can do it Don’t many of they have far better
