Deep Purple are one of the so-named Unholy Trinity with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, the three bands deservedly given credit for shaping hard rock and metal as we know it today. While Smoke on the Water is their most famous song, this is arguably their best and most complex. Smoke on the Water is iconic, but I also recommend Highway Star, Speed King, Bloodsucker, Strange Kind of Woman (live for a ridiculous duel between vocalist extraordinaire Ian Gillan and guitar phenom Ritchie Blackmore), and Space Truckin'. Enjoy, good sir.
I love highway star. Its so good they used it for the opening of the 1st rockband game out of all the songs on the game.
Looks as if they brought in a school trip class of 9th graders!
They call it a trinity but it should be four.... Uriah Heep are seldom mentioned, A band with a songrwriter and keyboardist that easily can be compared with Jon Lord. Not to mention that almost all delivering fantastic vocal included their amaizing drummer Lee Kerslake....
No Storm Bringer?
That "duel" drove my dad crazy! 🤭
It was a BBC studio and the audience were not allowed to react at the time
Tv audiences back in the day were told to sit still and hold applause until the end. They are legendary.
They this was back when white anglo-saxon Christians where the norm on the show. To them, getting into music is embarrassing. So they clap at the end as if they just saw an opera.
@@MasonVeil well this was a British TV show but even the audiences at Midnight Special were quiet until the end. Watch any variety show of the time and that's how people behaved. TV studios has signs that lit up asking for silence, applause, laughter, etc. Not a racial thing.
@@SRG1966 yeah it was all part of the culture then.
@@SRG1966 German TV show
TV audiences back then were to told to act like a rock because the director didn't want distractions, typical of live recorded shows in those days, and if you see the huge cameras they had to move around the stage management had to be precise and quick. They only got one shot to deliver.
It was a TV studio, not a concert, and the audience were told to keep still and quiet as it was being filmed for a TV Show
Deep Purple are indeed "gigantically famous" (well, to us oldies). The song is about the Cold War (not Vietnam - they were a British band), and the crowd were told to remain still for the telly broadcast. The singer (Ian Gillan) also sang the role of Jesus on the original "Jesus Christ Superstar" album (but not on any of the stage/movie versions).
Ian Gillan is the one singing on the original Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack. Treat yourself to him singing Gethsemane from the soundtrack. I saw them perform in 1974. They were still very good, but Ian Gillan had been replaced by David Coverdale (White Snake) and Glenn Hughes had become their bassist.
@@rickryb4587 I avoided using "soundtrack" as many would associate that term with a film/play. So new listeners may end up hearing Jeff Fenholt, or even Ted Neeley, with titles like "original Broadway cast" or "film" soundtrack.
@@psbarrow Yes. Jesus Christ Superstar is a musical (and later a rock opera) by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice -- both legends in the genre. I still listen to that album at least a couple times a year. The album rocks and is quite funky at times, the story is familiar but told from several characters' perspectives, and Ian's voice is pure gold.
@@rickryb4587 I saw them in Hartford Ct. in 74 too. Fantastic and I will never forget it. Gethsemane I know by heart. Love that album too
@@rickryb4587 Ian is still with the band today he rejoined with a new Keyboard player after Jon Lord passed and Steve replaced Ritchie
This guys + Led Zeppelin + Black Sabbath are considered the precursors of metal music.
Yes, the Deep Purple were extremely famous! They were famous as one the very best live shows of the era. This was the exquisite lineup often referred to as Deep Purple Mk II. The lineups before and after had hits, but generally speaking this is quintessential Deep Purple.
This was a performance at a television studio. In those days, you obtained tickets for the filming or taping without knowing what guests would be there for the session, as these were done in advance of airing. Deep Purple were ahead of their time being on the cutting edge of innovation and improvisation, but even so, the audience is “dead” as they were instructed by the director to be silent during the recording session and save all applause until indicated by the director’s staff at the end of the performance. Additionally, in those days, there was an expectation of “proper” public behavior before the camera, and people were expected to carry themselves in studio with decorum and a bit of formality, similar to what one might expect if one were in the audience of an operatic performance at a concert hall or opera house.
It’s very possible that most in the audience had not heard Deep Purple, or music like it, as the popular music of the day was not rock centric as much as the Baby Boomers and Hollywood would like you to believe. Only around this time did we see the music of the previous generation begin to give way to the music of the “boomers” on Television. Nevertheless, the late 60s had hard rock pioneer exposure of this kind and set the stage for many different new genres including hard rock and blues among others to be booked for television appearances and this became quite common throughout the next decade and was the how many would see a band perform live prior to the MTV music video revolution in the 80s which early on often was comprised of PR films and live recordings arranged into the now ubiquitous music video.
For the fans of legendary acts like Purple, these pieces of film and videotape are genuine treasure and remain an extremely important part of music history.
Deep Deep Purple is primarily an instrumentally oriented group, the vocals and songwriting contributions of Ian Gillan are spectacular in their own right! The late, great Jon Lord on the Hammond organ remains one of the all-time Masters of the keyboard and composition. Ian Paice should be on the short list of the greatest drummers in rock music and with Roger Glover’s bass form the solid foundation upon which Lord and fellow legend Ritchie Blackmore exhibit their wizardry. Many consider Blackmore the archetype hard rock guitarist, and you will find him among the very best of all time.
The treasure trove of Deep Purple is vast and deep, and very much remains among the most influential bands of all time. Although not metal nor even rightly pigeon holed as hard rock either, the music of Deep Purple influences bands to this day. This legendary Mk II lineup reunited in the early 80s for the “Perfect Strangers” album and tour. It produced hits of “knocking at your back door” and the title track and is a good contrast with Mk II with legendary hits of “Smoke on the Water”, “Space Truckin’” and “Highway Star”! They did a great rendition of Mk I hits like “Hush” as well!
Another great reaction! Keep sharing your discovery of, and journey through great music! 👍🏻
The Producers of the Television Show told the audience to not get excited for the recording of the jam. Yes, they are quite well known and are a legendary Band from the late 60's and 70's. Jon Lord on Organ and Ritchie Blackmore on Guitar are also legends in their own right.
They all are. All five.
@@wolfgangwalk337 True dat!
@@wolfgangwalk337 Right on the money. All legends of their craft.
George Best is in the audience.
Ian Paice is a legendary drummer, and Gillan is widely considered one of the greatest rock vocalists in history. Basically every member of this line-up of DP were virtuoso performers. And in this song they were greater than the sum of their parts.
Ian Gillan has one of my favorite rock voices. You should listen to Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar when Ian had the lead on Broadway. He’s definitely a vocalist to be reckoned with.
✌🏼😎
They "only" have the most iconic quitar rift in the universe "Smoke on the water" :)
You think? LOL
Agreed! Likely one of the first Rifts a guitar student learns to play.
They're also known as the loudest band ever. And Ian Gillen's voice in his prime was nearly five octaves.
Got to love when classically trained musicians go Rogue.
I was in high school when Smoke On The Water came out, and every teen interested in guitar wanted to learn that riff.
Its difficult for someone of my age to understand how you don't know who Deep Purple are, as a band and as individuals.
Maybe some times in the past, people from different musical genres or perhaps the hip hop world, might look at us old guys with long hair and think 'how uncool we are' - well this is the quality of the music we were listening to.
Great to see you appreciating it 👍
Rock in the 60's and 70's was pretty much always blues based. That was the influence for early rock n roll. And personally I think rock was at its best when blues was the influence.
I couldn't agree more. The blues influence combined with the classical studies that most of musicians had ( wasn't easy to find a teacher to teach you electric guitar these days so they had to begin with classic guitar to learn) gave birth to the masterpieces we all know. Rock today for me is dead. Not because I am a boomer and I m stuck to the music of my youth but because rock lost its roots.The last big rock band for me was System of a down.
9 years old , sitting on my neighbors bed when we first heard these guys . This reminds me of why they became so big in my musical education. Great reaction my man ; a pleasure watching you experience this for the first time . As for the audience, it was 1970 . They were not ready for this . No one could be .
Great reaction! I have seen this performance so many times, and I still get goose bumps. Let's put it this way about his vocals, Luciano Pavarotti is said to have been jealous of Ian's vocal ability. I am too!💯🎵🎶🎤🎵🎶 Yes, Deep Purple is famous. Back in the day, it was Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Deep Purple is by far my favorite.
Deep Purple was definitely 'super well known' in the 70's, as I was a teenager back then, and every one I knew had Deep Purple albums in their record collection.
Love deep purple but child in time Is incredible even to this day the whole groups much talent. They will live in. Time forever
This is in my top 10 songs of all time in general. Across all music genres and vocal styles.
Deep Purple changed the game, they are one of the pillars of metal music
When the vocals start escalating, your reactions were amazing. It's like listening to it again for the first time with zero reference.
You mentioned that it sounded bluesy and that's accurate, in fact many of the early heavy metal pioneers grew up listening to blues music which is why Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, hell even early AC/DC with Bon Scott sounded bluesy at times. Eventually the genre's sound drifted away from that, so that early era of like 67ish-73ish has a very unique sound.
This is a live, tv audience who, in a studio in the late 1960's and early 1970's, really acted like this.
First guitar lick nearly everyone learns is Deep Purple Smoke on the Water . The whole band ,that line up are incredibly accomplished musicians. Jon Lord Hammond B3 , Ian Paice drums ( he plays with a swing style from his beginnings ) Roger Glover bass Solid and Ritchie Blackmore, not given nearly enough credit because he left rock music.
Ian Gillan vocals if you want more his solo "When a Blind man Cries" or From Superstar " Gethsemane" that really showcases his ability. Masterpiece.
I love it when people who react to the song actually know something about music and singing and have something to say. Glad you experienced the Deep Purple.
a classic... stays a great song after all these years
This is my all time favorite song by far ❤️
They are one of the metal pioneers and had a 50 year career with many gold and platinum albums and even more huge world tours.
Deep Purple is one of the finest bands ever. I highly recommend the live performance of When A Blind Man Cries. Excellent song with fantastic vocals. Also the video for Highway Star, a song they wrote on a tour bus and played that same night. Greatness unmatched.
This audience is what made me fall in love with this song. I think they are more stunned than they expected.
They are Rock Gods, right up there with the very best of that time zone!!!👍👍👌👌✌✌😁😁
The laid back audience is normal for tv show recordings of that era. The priority was to record the performance as perfectly as possible for the tv viewers. For the audience in the studio (if it was allowed at all), that meant don't move and don't make a sound. The viewers at home want to hear the music, not your noise. Only a polite applause after the performance was allowed.
This is music on the highest level you can reach, musically. Everything about this performance, is completely stunning and so perfect that the only thing to do is enjoy the greatest band on the planet. This is 1970 and still to this day hard to compete with, for any band. Just listen to Ian Paice, he is incredible, Gillans voice, Blackmore´s solo is amazing, Glover great and what can one say about the Great, Great Jon Lord? Here we are talking about a keyboard player, the Best of the Best. No one, no one could compete with the Great Jon Lord, high class level R.I.P. Jon Lord - miss you so much!
Agreed 👍 rip Jon Douglas Lord
My favorite deep purple track!!
Loved your smile on this, one of my favorite songs, the audience was told to hold their applause until the end by the BBC.
Deep Purple were huge!
Made in Japan was a masterpiece double live album.
🤘😁👍
✌️💖🎼
Ian's my favorite. "Pictures of Home" & "The Mule" are a few overlooked gems for vocals, but there's not a bad song on "Fireball" or "Machine Head" imo. Everything top shelf! Great reaction!
The dynamics in this song are a masterclassssss . The way they transition using all instrument to build tension. After the second"wait for the ricochet " you can see Ian pace drop his drum stick but not miss a beat. The interplay between them during solos. Blackmore on guitar points to the bassist Rodger Glover who does a sweet walking bass line. John lord just crazy and of course Ian Gillan Holy voice of the gods of rock😆.
The band now exists for 54 years, and I finally got to see them live just a few months ago. They still kick massive ass, even though most of them are 74 years or older.
What impresses me most though, is that they have still put out 4 records in the last decade, and I thoroughly enjoyed 2013's "Now What?!" album.
Smoke on the Water is their most famous song, but some of the songs I would like to recommend are:
Highway Star, When a blind Man Cries, Burn, Woman from Tokyo, All I got is You, Uncommon Man and Vincent Price.
You and me both; finally saw them live few months ago in Orlando. So awesome !! Ian can still belt ! This concert was pure happiness!
One of the best things I have ever seen live was this song on the Perfect Strangers tour. Absolute goosebumps.
Check out their studio version of "When a Blind Man Cries". Very bluesy soulful song with tons of emotion from the guitarist (Ritchie Blackmore) and Ian Gillan on vocals. I think you will like it.
👍🏼
YES
Nearly a shame to say, but the life version of the Ian Gillan Band is better, promise!
@@rayklehmann8779 I found it too much keyboard and not much feel in the guitar if I am thinking of the right video. I prefer Ritchie's soulful phrasing and sound much more. Even though I have heard he didn't like that song very much. Not sure why, I see it as one of their gems.
@@jalkabre5904 it is one of there gems! Hear that for the first time that he didn't liked it. Steve Morris the man at the guitar had a great feeling too. Not like Ritchie, but still a good feeling. Saw him 1999 in London, by 30yrs Concerto and he played Steve Morse onto the Wall... 🙊
I am SO glad you reacted to this and appreciate it properly. Been my all time favourite song since I was a kid❤️
I got to see Deep Purple during their very last tour. Loudest concert ever. Geeze that was a long time ago.
They haven't played their last tour yet. 😊
I think he mean’s last Tour of that era. Before this lineups 11 year hiatus.
@@ponytrekker8996 yep.
I like to think the audience wasn't bored, but speechless.
One of my late father's favorite bands. Made me think of him today, thank you for that
For years "machine head" album was considered by many the first heavy metal album....but, you could say black sabbath and others. Greatness and they have always been top tier, revered band,!
Deep Purple singer was the biggest influence on Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. Deep Purple has influenced bands in metal/thrash metal like Iron Maiden and Metallica, etc; guitar shredder bands like Yngwie Malmsteen and Impellitteri, etc; prog rock bands like Dream Theater, etc; The scope of their influence is vast. They've been covered by many. One of the first songs any guitarist learns is Smoke On The Water.
Yes Gillian was a monster but listen to the melancholy yet beautiful Instrumentals. Then the band goes Savage mode. Quite extraordinary how Mark ll was so talented. Ritchie and Jon Lord compliment each other while Glover keeps the band together. Ian Paice is a. Beast and the Original Energizer Bunny. When I first heard Child In Time when I bought In Rock at 9 years old I really didn't know what to think about it. As I grew older I understood the greatness and the Masterpiece the song is.
Super well known and loved in the older, UK rock community. The sounds and influences around Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jazz, Blues, Glam, Bowie, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, helped pave the way for Punk, Rock, Indie and Metal music from that point onwards. It was an interesting transition period from the early start of the Beatles and the Stones into later Dio, Rainbow etc.
Rat Bat Blue is a great song by them that is sort of a sleeper. Killer riff, and his vocals are spot on.
Yeah Rat Bat Blue and Fools are two of my favorites my DP
Yeah, a n d OUR LADY & YOU FOOL NO ONE ❤🎉😊!!! BERNIE GERMANY 😊
@@bernhardherrmann9230 Oh! You Fool No One! Yeah!
The audience were told to sit still because this was a studio recording for TV . . I can tell you from personal experience that the live concerts were always wild.
NO AUTO TUNE JUST PURE TALENT.
An extraordinary song. What I love about this sort of "First Time Hearing" video is when someone hearing a song like this for the first time who probably would not listen to this genre normally has such a wonderful review. I really like this chap reviewing the song. Every time I hear Child In Time with the classic line-up I realise that I am so grateful to have been around listening to the greatness of 1969-1975 British Rock Bands.
The audience's changed once they made it to America! They had me on my feet rocking out fully.
Deep purple is a pretty cool band. I first heard of them with the song "smoke on the water". My favorite song by the band is done by the lead singer only I believe and was a boss battle theme for a jrpg game called blue dragon on xbox 360. The song was called eternity and the game is intersting because it was developed by the same developers who did early FF games. The art design is also really cool since it was done by akira toriyama who made the anime dragonball.
Amazing voice of big Ian G. One of the best. His Gethsemane rendition on the Jesus Christ Superstar album is amazing. He was the first Jesus (after the original of course 😆) but declined the offer to do the Broadway shows of Jesus Christ Superstar due to his Deep Purple, commitments.
I always thought they were well known.
And they've been on my playlist since the beginning.
Many of their songs were hits. I could name something obvious like Smoke on the Water, but "Lazy" is a must listen.
Although I'm old, if I remember right Deep Purple is considered the "loudest band ever." In the early seventies the music was so loud it would knock people near the speakers unconscious.
Also if I remember right Ian Gillens vocal range in his prime was almost five octaves.
🤠🐂🏞️🛩️
Grew up with them in the 70's... and every teen then knew them and their many hits. You should give a listen to "Smoke on the Water" (You will recognize the riff) and "Perfect Strangers" (official video). Don't complain about the audience's lack of reaction, they were asked no to react because the band wanted to record the session without distractions and audience noise, and out of respect they complied.
The greatest song of all time. I cry of joy every time I hear it it’s so good!
Richie Blackmore, the guitarist didn't like the direction Purple was going in, and wanted to be heavier and wanted a Jim Morrison type front man. Him and Jon Lord found Gillian and recruited him. But Gillian said he and Roger Glover were a package deal. Yeah. Peace
I also was puzzled by the passive reaction from the crowd then I realized the reason why. I believe this performance took place in a TV studio in front of a token hand-picked audience who may or may not have heard of this band. So the people were on their best behavior "acting" as the audience in front of the TV cameras, probably nervous and overwhelmed.
The BBC didn't allow their audiences to react during the performance. They were supposed to sit quietly and listen.
The audience is not bored. Thats how you did in the 60ies. you sat down and listened respectfully and then you would clap after the artist had done their songs.
If you watch the old recordings of The Doors in copenhagen 1969 you will see the same, crowds sitting or standing still while watching in silence... Even if you rewatch the old woodstock 69 recordings youl realise that many people were sitting...
Personally I have gone to dozens of music festivals with prog rock. sitting or lying down on some kind of trip is the best way to listen to the psychedelic soundtracks of the 60ies...
Live, no auto tuner or in-ear. Vocally that's the selling.. Then the rest get going. 😂 Still in my Top 5 Performances.. When music was exciting. Young haven't heard this sort of music. They are all dancing to their own tune, but it meshes seamlessly. Hua Chenyu is the only one who moves me like this now. Yes.. The audience. 😲 But told to sit still.. and they did. I can tell you when this song came on in "nightclubs" of the 70s the floor was bouncing. The first record I bought was Deep Purple "Black Knight". Second was Black Sabbath's "Paranoid". Led Zeppellin, Judas Priest and even Eric Clapton said John Mayall was the one who got them into Blues and then Rock. Of course John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters were great influences on bands from The Beatles onwards.
I'm glad you like this, MrLboyd. Welcome to the world of British (specifically English) first generation heavy metal. DP were indeed massive in their day. Wikipedia estimates they sold over 100 million albums, to say nothing of the countless downloads.
My dad’s favourite band of all time👊 epic , so good to hear on a reaction channel 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I
Bro I closed my eyes at 4:30 and then opened them and you had your eyes closed. That feel, that groove.
They are gigantic and indeed kind of help giving birth to a couple of genres: heavy (classical) metal, and hard (blues) rock, and later kind of soul-funk rock, maybe?
Please do try "Highway Star" (by the same members) and "Burn", with Coverdale as singer and Hughes as bassit/singer, from 1974!!
There Gigantic! Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep purple make up the unholy trinity.
The amount of good music in the 70's is just amazing.The creativity that was so much part of this kind of a music has just unfortunately gone long time ago.Grat reaction mate,Greetings from Germany.
Deep Purple is considered one of the most influential bands that ever existed (and still does) along with for instance Black Sabbath ... sort of Flash / Grand Wizzard Theodore or Afrika Bambaata of hard rock if you wish :D Ian Gillan has incredible vocal range, hence the A/G 5 in the song, many opera singers consider him a contra tenor despite never being trained. He was the main "hero" and someone he looked up to of Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden. Deep Purple was actually founded as a jazz-rock group at first, later turned to hard rock. Ian also sang Jesus in the original of Andrew Loyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar. the TV audience was indeed ordered to sit down and shut the fuck up by this performance because they were so famous that the audience would probably break the studio down did they had the chance.
Excellent reaction as usual! Love this song and band! More Deep Purple please!
Saw them live in the eighties at the NEC Birmingham UK. Ian gillan has one of the best voices I have ever heard.
They were big. Excellent in concert even Ian Gillan at 70 years old hitting those high notes still.
I am a child of the 70’s, the best decade of rock and roll. All Bands during this decade wanted originality as the primary focus (unlike today). This band was a HUGE band of the times.
Deep purple so much talent they are often overlooked becaus they did not become a corporate band like big names of the time that had half their takent have to respect that
They filled stadiums worldwide. But were overshadowed by Zeppelin .
The performance we just watched was filmed for tv so that moght explain the audiance.
Definitely one of the goat’s when it comes rock. Would recommend “lazy” has more of the blues influence, when a blind man cries highly recommend, there’s a video of Ian Gillan introducing the song his name and song name appears at the beginning would recommend that live video of it
Trust me … they knew exactly what they were listening to … and … gigantically famous, huge influential band in the 70’s
Saw them in Glasgow the night “Black night” got to number one in the UK charts … Ian Gillan went off stage and came back on with the 1st edition of the following morning’s paper … got a great reception!
When I encountered this song the first time in the late 80s as a teenager, I had zero clues I was listening to an oldie. Sounded totally fresh to me.
Because back then we watched and listened to the band….not bored…respectful…..no phones flashing for pics…videos….selfies….we were there to see a band…not ourselves.
Well, it looks like you've started with, what some would call, the best, don't get me wrong, there's plenty more, like "Smoke on the Water", "My Woman From Tokyo", "Pictures of Home", "Perfect Strangers", "Knocking at Your Backdoor", "Highway Star" and "Maybe I"m a Leo", all of these are just so good! This was a great reaction, thanks!
The crowd was not allowed to disrupt a television recording. They were on a TV recording set..
The greatest vocalist ever
Jon Lord was not only a fantastic rock musician but also a brilliant classical composer sadly missed, Rip Jon.
A god one to listen to now would be Perfect Strangers.
From Australia, love your reactions, Peace from down under , we love Deep Purple down under , Peace.
Your comment on the crowd is hilarious, remember, that was early 70’s Vietnam era. Everyone was in something. Hahaha can’t believe you’ve never heard Deep Purple. Iconic band, and still plays today.
The audience sat there to appreciate greatness. Once you start jumping and dancing, then it becomes all about you.
The Reverse Flynn Effect is real.
You are absolutely correct I’d say eight or nine out of 10 heavy-metal hard rock guitarist love the purple and Richie Blackmore in particular way their favorite
Ian Gillan has said in several interviews that the song is about the Cold War, as that is what worried people at the time; the fear of a nuclear conflict between the USSR and NATO. I must admit though, I was around in the 70s and it never worried me once; nor anyone I knew.
The audience thing; electronics were not so precise as technology later became, and it was difficult to filter out or separate the sound of the band from audience background noise. Consequently, for live studio performances, audiences were asked to keep still and not make any noise as this could spoil the recording. You will often see this on performances from years ago, and reactors often express their puzzlement at the motionless audience. So ironically, you did know what you were watching!!!
Deep Purple were super huge and influential; their 1972 live album 'Made in Japan' is considered by many to be the best live album ever. You might well enjoy 'Highway Star' from that album, as well as the live 'Child in Time'.
I think the film footage you watched has been reversed, as I do not believe either guitarist was left handed.
Ian Paice the drummer is left handed
@@genabourassa7962 I said guitarists, which are the musicians that appear to show the film is revered.
They were stunned. We were really young and naive regarding good music and there WAS SO MUCH OF IT
This is my favorite musical performance and I've watched it many times. First heard the vinyl version of the song when I was 17 in 1995 in a pitch dark room with my two best friends.
I'm more of a Black Sabbath fan, but Deep Purple as a band is up there.
I've read(and the internet will correct me if I'm wrong) that at some point, they took a break from playing this song as it could have been damaging or tiring Ian's voice. It's an extremely difficult performance.
Funny you should say that because I went to see Black Sabbath and once Ian Gillan started to sing I was totally smitten and went to see Deep Purple a second time they are my favorite Concert ever and my favorite group
You’ve witnessed absolute genius and mastery. Their music is the most difficult I’ve ever payed (bass lines).
yes, they were famous, and yes, they were hugely influential on rock musicians that followed
Reactions to Child in Time are my favourites, I'm watching all of em
Yes Deep Purple is one of the turning points in music history.
Awesome reaction to one of the greatest vocalists ever.
Man, you've discovered the fountain of eternal youth! Giants is a bit. They are considered part of the Rock/Metal trinity along with Sabbath and Zeppelin; These gentlemen, mostly conservatory musicians-in their original formation at least-have 22 studio albums to date -the most recent of 2021-. I assure you that you will find jewels in all of them. Have a nice trip deep purple!
I love your reaction to this. I had bought there Made in Japan album when it came out and listened to it time and time again. Smoke on the Water was one of their most popular radio hits.....but they have so much more great music. My 23 year old niece now listens to their music as much as I use ....and their music lives on!
Deep Purple was the greatest collection of talent in rock. Child in time was considered the birth of heavy metal. Lemme of the band Motor Head gives Deep Purple the credit of being the first heavy metal band. Check out Lazy, very bluesy and a very unknown early song called April.
One third of the British Unholy Trinity Deep Purple along with Led Zep and Black Sabbath 🤘
At least six other reactors have listened to this song "as is," right out of the box, with no fuzzing of the video and none have been blocked.
They were huge! My High School days were especially filled with Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, Allman Brothers and Black Sabbath. Everyone will suggest Highway Star live from Japan, but do check out "Lazy" probably my favorite Deep Purple.
Other Deep Purple tracks to check out - Highway Star, Stormbringer, Speed King, and their best known song, Smoke On The Water.
