Ian Gillan didn't have anything in his ear... they didn't have that kind of stuff back then. He was putting a finger in one ear because it helps singers do two things: (1) hear the sound of the other instruments with the "open" ear and (2) hear their own voice with the "closed" ear. Its a technique used by singers in all genres but, back in the day, was especially useful for rock singers since the instruments/amplifiers were so loud. And, since they were so loud, sometimes singers could sing AND NOT EVEN HEAR THEIR OWN VOICE (or not hear it well). And what is the result of that? The singer could start singing out of tune because, at that point, he's just singing by muscle (and vocal chord memory). Long story short, by putting a finger in his ear, the singer can "hear" the sound of his own voice by the resonance inside his own head and, in that way, sing in tune with the rest of the band. Like you said "It sounded like he was screaming, but it was a quiet scream!" That's because he was in tune with the rest of the band (and also due to the quality of his own voice). Neat, huh?
John Rogers wait... you mean no auto tune and custom in ear monitors? The Horror! 😂 Let’s not even get into being skilled at projecting and breath control and using the mic’s proximity effect to skillfully blend the voice (with the band) at the source. MAD VOCAL SKILLS!
That is very interesting thanks I never knew that learn something new everyday right?👌🇱🇷 you know I think I'm gonna try that very idea on the Memphis city bus so I can hear my Farts better over the Blabbermouths plus I can experiment on the right direction/angle or both so I can zero in on the biggest trap I may even employ a megaphone to enhance the sound quality and density 😀 oh I almost forgot maybe I can add some reverb where I can get um (is um in the Webster's dictionary?) to ricochet off the windows or the bus drivers Head kinda sorta like a bankshot shooting pool that way maybe I could land a really juicy one into somebody's side pocket 😀🇱🇷 today they stick their finger in their nose instead that's what it sounds like anyway 😁🇱🇷
@@eddieboggs8306 They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as "the globe's loudest band" for a 1972 concert at the Rainbow Theater in London, England.
I find absolutely invigorating to watch two teens saying "This is really new" about Deep Purple's 1970 song Child in Time. You two have a deep sensibilty towards music, and you are very fortunate for it.
Ian Gillan is a classically trained vocalist. He shows his stuff and this track. There are some songs where he actually mimics the guitar. See strange kind of woman.
Claire is diggin on the Hammond B3's every time she hears em! Has anybody got walker on a guitar yet? Easy answer to "how can people do that?" Practice... Passion... and more Practice... Music is like breathing, you play it because it's what you breathe, like you can't live without it... You two are so blessed to have at least 50 years of incredible music to explore.
Thanks for doing a song I suggested. I know others did too but thank you. I enjoyed watching them discover a new type of song; they definitely appreciated the composition and the talent displayed. Walker’s “Mario from Sweden” was funny, and Claire’s descriptive comments are always insightful. Also liked Walker’s “quiet scream“ description - poetic.
That look when Walker paused it "Priceless". This song is a classic, I still remember the first time I heard it. I was in an altered state of mind and when this song was over I had a whole new perspective on music. You should give Burn a listen, its a classic has well featuring David Coverdale.
Walker, take a hint from your sister - don't ever pause in the middle of a solo, guitar, drum, whatever. Just don't do it - ever. Whatever you have to say can wait until the solo is over. We can wait to hear you after.
Burn is a awesome album lay down stay down also might just take your life is another awesome track you fool no one is another especially on the Live in London album featuring a blistering guitar solo by Blackmore that'll warp your prow I have both albums on vinyl plus several others never tired of listening some say they never liked them but I know they just say it to piss me off lol 😁I like feel sorry for Bozo's like that pity them in other words I sure am glad that Richie Blackmore recommended Tommy Bolin as his replacement Steve Morse ain't no slouch either I hope Purple go on and on forever 🙏🙏🙏
Guys when you hear us older guys say our music was better here is an example. It was one masterpiece after the next back then! No auto tune, no magic, just raw talent.
I had to chuckle when you said this was so new, young people this came out way before your parents were born. I am glad you like it. I was serving in the Army at the time , kept my mind clear.
Itse meeee....Maaarrriooo...nice cap, Walker, love it...and the song...yeah, nothing more to say, an immortal classic in Rock Ballads! The loveliest greetings to you both, and to your dad, too. Hope you're all well!
When you say the keyboards are "so 70's" it's a real compliment because the song is from the 60's. This live version didn't just happen in 1970. To say Deep Purple defined a sound from the 70's is to say they created a genre!
These are interesting vocals, you say, and you like the use of the voice as an instrument. If you want to hear some really interesting vocals, I suggest listening to the live performance of "Hocus Pocus" by the Dutch band Focus that was recorded for American TV back in October of 1973. I think the kids will get a kick out of this one: ua-cam.com/video/g4ouPGGLI6Q/v-deo.html And of course probably one of the best examples of using voice as an instrument is the lamenting and soul-stirring vocal on "Great Gig in the Sky" from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album.
So wonderful to see you guys enjoy Ian' s voice and all Deep Purple. Good guys. It's impossibile not to headbanging while listening to them, it' s the power of Purples 💜💜💜
Hi, just one thing, the best version of Gethsemane is this: ua-cam.com/video/bY2eW9-mA1U/v-deo.html . Please, react to before watch it. Sry my english, greetings from Spain.
There was a time 45 or 50 years ago I was really into Deep Purple & Black Oak Arkansas. This brought back memories of driving around with the radio blasting.
scream represents the progression of pain when horrifically wounded during the vietnam war....they were completely against the war...when a friend has to watch his buddy die horrifically and the agony he witnessed ....you guys are still awesome ...much love from cali
Riitchie Blackmore, (the guitarist) and Jon Lord (the keyboardist), had a great rivalry and always tried to outdo each other in their solos. Great catch of the envelopeby Claire. Also great reaction to Walker pausing the video. lol Lovin the Mario hat!! Great reaction!!
So glad that these young people are learning to appreciate the music that I grew up with. Saw Deep Purple in concert back in the day and their music is still great today. Timeless. Please listen to more of Deep Purple they have so much more to offer. Hold on kids it's about to get really loud.
Welcome to a new dimension, kids: Deep purple was for me the same when I was a teen. The power, the intensity, the musicianship, the expressions. And your expressions are hilarious!
Sometimes you just wish UA-cam had a double like button. Great song, great rendition and loved the reactions especially of Claire to the amazing Hammond playing of the great Jon Lord!!
To answer Claire's question no he didn't have a speaker in his ear but he was putting is hand up to his ear so he could hear his voice give it a try and you will see if you place your hand over your ear like your cupping it you will hear your voice better in your head.
I remember my dad playing this when I was a kid, I used to say the singer (Ian Gillian) stood on a lego haha, the stubbed toe comment make me chuckle. Great reaction kids!
Ritchie Blackmore is the guy who inspired so many. The audience in this video had no idea what to expect. You guys will recognise their most popular song Hush but Burn is a great DP rock track.
Sad as it may sound, I think that album was better than any other they produced. I found it to be the one album when the majority of the music was fun to listen to. Sure, they're earlier stuff was maybe more musically sound, but PS to me was close to Metallica's Black album.
Child in Time...a monster of a track!! Welcome to the wonderful world of Deep Purple. You guys are lucky to be exposed to such a great band at a young age. I didn't get into DP until adulthood. Check out: Highway Star, Space Truckin', Burn, Smoke on the Water, Speed King, Mistreated, or Fireball in a future reaction!!
You two are entirely delightful! I had qualms (1st time here), but I saw you through and you shined. The holding of one ear helps the self-resonance inside the skull/ear to shut out competing pitches. You'll see that in wicked-old Bee-Gees concerts when they're performing ballads.
Just like the studio audience when Nirvana did "all apologies" on MTV unplugged, they had no idea what to do with themselves having never heard anything so different before. The music scene changed with this appearance.
If they reacted to "All the Single Ladies" (or whatever it's called) I can imagine Claire saying "repetition', but in an exasperated way. And HOW have they not reacted to "Bohemian Rhapsody" yet?! (or did they and I missed it?)
LOL you boys and girls get what Deep Purple is all about! Thanks for the REACTION, Claire and Walker should react to Deep Purple's "Space Truckin'" or Rainbow's "Stargazer".
Yeah Walker, Now you are groovin. I used to lose myself in this . Deep Purple is a unique one of a kind sound. Unmistakable . Mind blowing. Their arrangements, their music has no equal. Even now. It has gained a new generation of listeners. People starving for real meaning in music. To utter any range of emotion, any sound that is expressed from the soul is a gift to humanity. One that is to be shared.
Yer back with another rockin' reaction! Wonderful :-) I hope you guys are having a blast in summer camp. Now, my historical and contextual notes: This band was one of the truly greats, and each member was mega-talented. They are responsible for some of the all-time most memorable guitar riffs (pro tip: **Never** play Smoke on the Water in a guitar shop lol). The keyboard player was Jon Lord, who was classically trained, and is considered one of the very best ever, rather like Hendrix on guitar. His instrument is the fabled Hammond Organ, an instrument which could be used for both good and evil. Originally intended as an inexpensive and space-saving replacement for church organs, it was one of the very first truly electronic instruments and was often used by purveyors of the most tooth-rotting schmaltz. In fact in the 1950s-70s restaurants would employ players of HOs to entertain the customers, but jazz and blues and rock artists picked up on it and really exploited its nasty growl to express more than Muzak*-like tones. I can only add that this band is worth looking at further for their live performances; psych-prog-blues-rock at its finest. Oh, and I wanted to comment a bit on fashion of the era, of which you've seen a bit of by now in more than one video. You'll notice that, up until the early 70's, hair was generally simply grown out with little grooming. You'll also notice that clothes are generally quite colourful, loud and garish. This was a way of rebelling against the strict, grey conformity of the war years up through the 1950s and early 60s. So, they were simply growing it out, not thinking about styling at all, merely intending to make a statement. Then, in the mid 70's hair became subject to the dreaded perm and white afro, eventually morphing into the horrors of the aforementioned mullet. Truly scary times (although we thought it was cool at the time lol) *The term Muzak originates from the name of a company called Muzak which piped prerecorded music into public commercial spaces like shops, doctor's offices, etc. The music consisted of the most syrupy of popular tunes played by massed string orchestras, truly horrendous stuff. So the word Muzak became synonymous with uber-schmaltzy music in general. As a final footnote, I was in an elevator once in which Muzak's service was employed, and I heard a Muzak-ised version of a Pink Floyd song. I knew then that my youth was officially over **sigh**...
Don't know about Led Zeppelin, they were pretty great themselves. It is not only the singing/playing but also the writing and the arrangement. But yeah, tastes are subjective.
Purple were bigger than Sabbath in the early to mid 1970's. It was probably Ozzy's solo career, and their influence on later bands, that gave the Sabbath legend a boost, and then not until into the 1990's.
Love both. Zep were bigger, no doubt. But Purple were better in my book. A lot tighter than Zep or any other band. Their musicianship was insane. Lots of improvs and jamming while playing live. Zep were great at improvising as well and, in my opinion they had a better stage presence than Purple, that "Star aura" if you know what i mean. Great to see young kids going back to the roots. We may have some good music in the future, let's keep our fingers crossed...
Claire you are absolutely right. A lot of singers back in the day did use their voices as an instrument. You watched Roundabout by YES awhile back. The lead singer Jon Anderson is famous for his orchestral voice, then and still today. YES has been around since 1968 and happens to be my all time favorite band. THE best band on this planet. Jon Anderson THE VOICE. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!🎤🎤🎤
Seen the Kings of the smoke Deep Purple at Cleveland for 2 nights on perfect strangers reunion tour 1985 when I was 21 man it blew everyone away and they did child of course never forget it it flat out ROCKED the best of times the group even played a soccer game with the crew of WMMS rock station guess who won DP DP DP we all screamed until they did the encore which they did like 3 times seen Iron Maiden 2 years later at municipal in Kansas City and they did like 4 encores (live after death tour)1987 unforgettable both bands Bruce Dickinson has the vocal range like Ian Gillian now that I'm here in Memphis I wish they'd come here too which of course will never in eternity happy but you're never too old to dream right people ? Yeah child in time is totally cool great job kids
This is from 1970, and what you're seeing is Heavy Metal in its infancy. Deep Purple, Along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, basically invented heavy metal in the late 60's and early 70's. You may have noticed the somewhat stunned look on the faces of the audience. Many people had not heard heavy metal in 1970, and they probably weren't really sure what they were watching and hearing!
The term you are looking for with the high voice is falsetto. There's quite a bit of it in classic rock, especially from this time frame. I wasn't familiar with this Deep Purple song, but they are really good. You should give more of their stuff a try. Side note: I loved the editing by dad in this one. It added something to the video.
They are not bored. Back in the day they didn't had the technology to isolate the audience sound from the song, so they were told to stay quiet to not mess the recording
If you eventually get to Highway Star you should do the “Made in Japan” version It’s by far the best version but it would be a static video if that’s ok. (it is the way we all took in music when we were young). Studio version very good also but they kick it up several notches live.
Hiya guys the drummer ..ian paice is 1 of a few drummers who is left handed...and they are still touring today in their 70s.....jon lord on keybords ..... is no longer around he died a number of years ago....
Ritchie Blackmoore is amazing. A lot of people dont understand why he quit rock and went to play more folky music. Short answer is, he just wanted to. Oh and his gorgeous wife with the voice of an angel joined him. Check out "Locked Within The Crystal Ball" or "Under a Violet Moon" by Blackmoore's Night. I really love their stuff.
The First Vocalist of Deep Purple is David Coverdale, he left because he make his own group White Snake, then Ian Gillan come in, the new vocalist of deep purple!
Dad ,that was some hard core stuff that you let filter through those young ears .... I was sure someone's ears was gona start smoking purple ...and lyrically dark stuff dad WOW !!!!!!
The audience was a typical 70's English crowd, sitting quietly while having their minds blown then clapping politely at the end and wondering what just happened.
Ian Gillan didn't have anything in his ear... they didn't have that kind of stuff back then. He was putting a finger in one ear because it helps singers do two things: (1) hear the sound of the other instruments with the "open" ear and (2) hear their own voice with the "closed" ear.

Like you said "It sounded like he was screaming, but it was a quiet scream!" That's because he was in tune with the rest of the band (and also due to the quality of his own voice). Neat, huh?

That was back before auto-tune.
Yes, but let's be honest, thanks God we now have IEM ;-)
Claire and Walker: This song is quiet and mellow.
Ritchie Blackmore: Hold my beer. 🤣🎸
hold my strat and 300+watt marshall 😂
That's what I said! Deep Purple is quiet? Not. Really.

I think they’re ready for Hocus Pocus, by Focus (the 1973 live version from the Midnight Special). Thank me later
Absolutely, they definitely won't have heard anything like that before.
I first remember hearing this song in 1973 when I was the tender age of 10 a friend of mine had the record it left a lasting impression 😉
Ace of spades...Motorhead
I was hoping for this reconmedation, thank you. Hocus Pocus by Focus, yes please.

I’ve been able to figure out if that was deep purple or Rainbow’s version. I’m pretty sure Rainbow played it live also.

So wonderful to see you guys enjoy Ian' s voice and all Deep Purple. Good guys. It's impossibile not to headbanging while listening to them, it' s the power of Purples 💜💜💜
That new organ sound you haven't heard is the Hammond B3 organ. A classic in much of rock and blues.
I really miss the sound of a Hammond B3 played through a couple of Leslie speakers.
I just made basically the same comment...then figured someone must have said something before me. LOL
armadillotoe God’s lungs
The organ is an under-appreciated staple of rock music.
Rotkäppchen ist die Definition eines Kackblags!
Fun fact: Ian Gillan was the first “Jesus” in the first version of “Jesus Christ superstar “ his version of “Gethsemane” is by far the best.
Us kids in the early 70's use to say Jesus Christ Superstar who in the hell do you think you are lol 😁

Deep Purple is one of my favourite bands :) You're amazing Claire
loved the reaction, tnx guys
So glad you got to react to this, other awesome songs by Deep Purple worth checking out are Lazy and Hush both do good.
To answer Claire's question no he didn't have a speaker in his ear but he was putting is hand up to his ear so he could hear his voice give it a try and you will see if you place your hand over your ear like your cupping it you will hear your voice better in your head.
The vocalist is Ian Gillan, Keyboards Jon Lord, Lead Guitar Ritchie Blackmore, who later founded Rainbow, another band well worth a listen.
One of my all time favourites. Took this in when I was in labour. I don't think the nurses had heard it before.
You're gonna go far like this fellas, keep it that way.
I remember my dad playing this when I was a kid, I used to say the singer (Ian Gillian) stood on a lego haha, the stubbed toe comment make me chuckle. Great reaction kids!
Kids, check "Highway Star" of them Deep Purple is a great song
Glad you like this music kids. Those sounds he makes represent screams of agony from soldiers getting wounded and dying at war
It's cool that 51 years later a band can rock young peoples minds.
Thanks Claire, you are definitely the more sensible one 🙏 😊
Holds lighter high in the air, bows head in the presence of greatness.
Ritchie Blackmore is the guy who inspired so many. The audience in this video had no idea what to expect. You guys will recognise their most popular song Hush but Burn is a great DP rock track.
I would say, the most popular Deep Purple-track is still "Smoke on the water".
@@braudabo Yeah that's true.
Notice the distinct sound of the Hammond B-3 organ with Leslie speaker...timeless classic.

It's great to see young generations still enjoy this music after so many years

So much awesomeness. The Deepest of Purples.
Actually Deep Purple - In Rock....was the 1st album i owned.🤘
From 1970 -1975 the best live band on the planet.
7:58 - That right there, it's the face we make when someone pauses a song in the middle of a solo. HEAR THAT, WALKER?!?
You two are entirely delightful! I had qualms (1st time here), but I saw you through and you shined.
The holding of one ear helps the self-resonance inside the skull/ear to shut out competing pitches.
You'll see that in wicked-old Bee-Gees concerts when they're performing ballads.
I love the way 70's audiences sit and quietly listen!
*BEST ROCK N ROLL LINEUP EVER!!*
Walker mimicking the singing around 5:48 was hilarious
NEVER pause a Ritchie Blackmore solo.
Deep Purple are considered pioneers of heavy metal. Great band still playing today!
Just like the studio audience when Nirvana did "all apologies" on MTV unplugged, they had no idea what to do with themselves having never heard anything so different before. The music scene changed with this appearance.

Amazing vocalizing in this song. Have not been a huge fan of Black Sabbath; however, I'm always open to learning, so teach away young masters.
You should listen to Sabotage, their best album by far
Yer back with another rockin' reaction! Wonderful :-) I hope you guys are having a blast in summer camp. Now, my historical and contextual notes:
This band was one of the truly greats, and each member was mega-talented. They are responsible for some of the all-time most memorable guitar riffs (pro tip: **Never** play Smoke on the Water in a guitar shop lol).
The keyboard player was Jon Lord, who was classically trained, and is considered one of the very best ever, rather like Hendrix on guitar. His instrument is the fabled Hammond Organ, an instrument which could be used for both good and evil. Originally intended as an inexpensive and space-saving replacement for church organs, it was one of the very first truly electronic instruments and was often used by purveyors of the most tooth-rotting schmaltz. In fact in the 1950s-70s restaurants would employ players of HOs to entertain the customers, but jazz and blues and rock artists picked up on it and really exploited its nasty growl to express more than Muzak*-like tones.
I can only add that this band is worth looking at further for their live performances; psych-prog-blues-rock at its finest.
Oh, and I wanted to comment a bit on fashion of the era, of which you've seen a bit of by now in more than one video. You'll notice that, up until the early 70's, hair was generally simply grown out with little grooming. You'll also notice that clothes are generally quite colourful, loud and garish. This was a way of rebelling against the strict, grey conformity of the war years up through the 1950s and early 60s. So, they were simply growing it out, not thinking about styling at all, merely intending to make a statement. Then, in the mid 70's hair became subject to the dreaded perm and white afro, eventually morphing into the horrors of the aforementioned mullet. Truly scary times (although we thought it was cool at the time lol)
*The term Muzak originates from the name of a company called Muzak which piped prerecorded music into public commercial spaces like shops, doctor's offices, etc. The music consisted of the most syrupy of popular tunes played by massed string orchestras, truly horrendous stuff. So the word Muzak became synonymous with uber-schmaltzy music in general. As a final footnote, I was in an elevator once in which Muzak's service was employed, and I heard a Muzak-ised version of a Pink Floyd song. I knew then that my youth was officially over **sigh**...
I love this song! Thank you!😎✌❤
this song is probably is probably one of my 10 all time favorites.
you should try deep purple smoke on the water! Another really good one!
And now they are ready for Lazy (live).
If Blackmore wasn't such a difficult personality Purple would have been bigger than Zep or Sabbath.
Big claim.
Don't know about Led Zeppelin, they were pretty great themselves. It is not only the singing/playing but also the writing and the arrangement. But yeah, tastes are subjective.
Purple were bigger than Sabbath in the early to mid 1970's. It was probably Ozzy's solo career, and their influence on later bands, that gave the Sabbath legend a boost, and then not until into the 1990's.
Love both. Zep were bigger, no doubt. But Purple were better in my book. A lot tighter than Zep or any other band. Their musicianship was insane. Lots of improvs and jamming while playing live. Zep were great at improvising as well and, in my opinion they had a better stage presence than Purple, that "Star aura" if you know what i mean. Great to see young kids going back to the roots. We may have some good music in the future, let's keep our fingers crossed...
Bigger than Sabbath... maybe?? Bigger than Zeppelin... no way.
After Gillan left, the brought in David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, have a look at the Live version of Burn at the California Jam. It's epic.
Oh guys, this man had a great voice! What a band!
Claire you are absolutely right. A lot of singers back in the day did use their voices as an instrument. You watched Roundabout by YES awhile back. The lead singer Jon Anderson is famous for his orchestral voice, then and still today. YES has been around since 1968 and happens to be my all time favorite band. THE best band on this planet. Jon Anderson THE VOICE. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!🎤🎤🎤
Finally!!! My mexican sugestion has been heard xd. Great reaction guys
Walker you had no problem hurting that high note in the song
Jon Lords Hamond b3 was routed through a Marshall amp instead of the Lesley revolving speeker
50 years ago still sounds as good today as then knocks spots off modern music
my favorite band
or Led Zeppelin - Dazed And Confused (Live from 'The Song Remains The Same')
That was how your grand parents generation rocked out.
They had the best miusic
I certainly did.
Jon Lord and the Hammond organ. He was a great keyboard player! RIP, Jon!
I started chuckling when I saw you were gonna watch this. This is a bit different isn't it. Full on!

This is from 1970, and what you're seeing is Heavy Metal in its infancy. Deep Purple, Along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, basically invented heavy metal in the late 60's and early 70's. You may have noticed the somewhat stunned look on the faces of the audience. Many people had not heard heavy metal in 1970, and they probably weren't really sure what they were watching and hearing!
Hey Groovers, thanks for doing a deep purple number. Appreciate it! 🤗
(Was that Mario yawning during the song?)
7:59 me when someone pauses the song in the middle of a ripping solo
There is a solemn rule when it comes to music: never stop nor pause it during a guitar solo
Lol......Claire and Mario!.....Awesome......Deep Purple has so many classics.....glad you like them........See you later.....!
The term you are looking for with the high voice is falsetto. There's quite a bit of it in classic rock, especially from this time frame. I wasn't familiar with this Deep Purple song, but they are really good. You should give more of their stuff a try. Side note: I loved the editing by dad in this one. It added something to the video.
They (Claire and Walker) are a better audience than the bored 70's teens of the clip.
They are not bored. Back in the day they didn't had the technology to isolate the audience sound from the song, so they were told to stay quiet to not mess the recording
@@milllow1 Of course, but at least they could have moved their heads a little. To who would it disturb? Probably to the elder people in there.
Deep Purple - Highway Star. That one is also great, but different, way faster and really good to listen on the road
If you eventually get to Highway Star you should do the “Made in Japan” version It’s by far the best version but it would be a static video if that’s ok. (it is the way we all took in music when we were young). Studio version very good also but they kick it up several notches live.
Hiya guys the drummer ..ian paice is 1 of a few drummers who is left handed...and they are still touring today in their 70s.....jon lord on keybords ..... is no longer around he died a number of years ago....
Ritchie Blackmoore is amazing. A lot of people dont understand why he quit rock and went to play more folky music. Short answer is, he just wanted to. Oh and his gorgeous wife with the voice of an angel joined him. Check out "Locked Within The Crystal Ball" or "Under a Violet Moon" by Blackmoore's Night. I really love their stuff.
The First Vocalist of Deep Purple is David Coverdale, he left because he make his own group White Snake, then Ian Gillan come in, the new vocalist of deep purple!
his singing that way is symbolic of "pain"
Dad ,that was some hard core stuff that you let filter through those young ears .... I was sure someone's ears was gona start smoking purple ...and lyrically dark stuff dad WOW !!!!!!
Another mega band well worth pursuing, guys!
The audience was a typical 70's English crowd, sitting quietly while having their minds blown then clapping politely at the end and wondering what just happened.
CLASSIC!
who knew a new generation of rockers is afoot absolutely fantastic there is hope yet for our youth.
The Purple. Hell Yeah 🤘Love this track. Another awesome Purple Jan is “Lazy” serious rock on that one
