One of the most talented bands of all time-masterclass in musicianship. Ian Gillan is the singer and, in my opinion, the greatest rock singer of all time.
Great reaction! How dull does 'Smoke on the water' sound after this! Such an iconic performance, superbly played and sung live absolutely incredible, it feels like the stars aligned for this to happen! So glad we can re-live it through YT. Cheers.
This early lineup is the best in my opinion and includes Ian Gillian on vocals, Jon Lord on the keys, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Roger Glover on bass, and Ian Paice on drums. All of them are excellent at their craft. Thank you for the reaction!!
I saw Deep Purple in concert back in the 70s, and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to! I believe Jon Lord is probably the greatest keyboardist of all time! He is unmatched! Thanks for another great reaction and analysis MD! ✌💙✌
The person playing the organ was Jon Lord who was classically trained ,so no wonder he was brilliant,i often think that he could play his instrument doing a solo just as Blackmore did on guitar. All the band were masters on what they did. The dynamic shifts in this is what makes the song so good. If you were wondering why the audience didn't go wild, it was a tv programme, and they were told strictly not to. The3 notes that predominate in the song, are present in a track called Bombay Calling by a band called "It's A Beautiful Day". They were contemporaries of Deep Purple.
@@larteonceagain Offhand, the only two I can think of (directly portraying the conflict) was Jimi Hendrix "Machine Gun" and Kate Bush "Pull Out The Pin" with Dave Gilmour on backing vocals. I'm sure there were many others.
That is the legendary Jon Lord (R I P) on the organ. Ian Gillan was the studio for Jesus Christ Superstar. He opted to stay with Deep Purple which he had a commitment with rather than play Jesus in the Broadway show. ❤️Ian Gillan! ✌️❤️ Edit: Ian PAICE is the drummer. I think he’s awesome and way underrated.
Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin all are considered the grandfathers of heavy metal "The Unholy Trinity" is their nickname. These three bands were hard rock bands that influenced young musicians to create heavy metal. Deep purple and Sabbath contributed to heavy metal with hard heavy blues and bass. The screaming of Ian Gillan, Robert Plant, James DIO and Ozzy with the hard heavy blues started younger artist in creating music that was faster and dropping heavy Blues finally creating "Heavy Metal". Ozzy, Dio, David Coverdale also performed in the 80's as heavy Metal solo performers when that Genre was established.
First time I heard Deep Purple, me and some buddies were skipping school, listening to the radio, and a song came on called HUSH by Deep Purple. Every-time I hear that song I remember the day my buddies and skipped school.
Dude, the studio version of this song is so %@#$ good, you have to listen to it. Ian's performance is my number one rock male vocalist performance of all-time!
Ian Gillen with his five octave range making easy work of the high notes. And as said the piano is a Hammond organ. My mother had one similar with synthesizer in the mid-70s. Hers was capable of reproducing most any instrument and had per programmed Rhythms and styles. You could choose one or all instruments to playat once. And you could use the pre-programmed rhythm with any instrument and Style as accompaniment. It was a blast to play. And for those unaware, if you kept your hands and 25 foot pedals really busy they thought you were playing at all. Lol ✌️ 🤠🏞️🐂
Jon Lord (R.I.P.) is the one playing the Hammond Organ (not piano). He had it routed through a Marshall amplifier to give it a more guitar-like sound. The Ian on drums is the great Ian Paice (pronounced Pace). Finally, you are correct. This is an anti-Vietnam War song!
The original band in this video consisted of Ian Gillan Vocals , Ian Pace on drums Roger Glover on bass John Lord on Keys and Ritchie Blackmore on guitars. David Coverdale didn't come in until much later to replace the vocalist The 60's and 70's the era when it was about the music and not the money when talent ruled with no auto tune just plug your equipment in a see what happens and it usually ended up in a great song.
Saw them back in 75 right after David Coverdale joined the band. ELO opened for them and it was a terrific concert! A few years ago, my wife and I saw them together and Ian Gillan was once again singing Ian Paice was still on the drums and Roger Glover, the bassist, had rejoined. Sadly Jon Lord had already passed and I really don't remember who was on guitar! But it was great and Alice Cooper was one of the opening acts! So it was a win,win!!
I got to see Deep Purple in 1977 at a rock festival in KC. The whole thing was amazing!! Ending up with Ted Nugent. There were noise complaints from miles away 😂😂😂🌻👵🏼💜✌🏼
I would add “Highway Star” and "Hush". But of course, there are many more that could be added. These are just a couple I think should be on the list - of course, I like them so I would add them - lmao.
No he did the original record soundtrack of Jesus Christ Superstar but did not perform the shows as was too busy with his DP commitments. His contribution to the soundtrack as the 'original Jesus ' is of course incredible and he definitely had the look haha.
Nice reaction bro. It is a pity you were guided to this version because the live version from "Made In Japan" is much much better believe it or not. In this period of the early 70s, the line up was: Ian Gillan, vocals. Roger Glover, bass. Jon Lord, keyboards (usually a Hammond organ as seen here). Ian Paice, drums. Ritchie Blackmore, electric guitar. They are my favourite rock band in this period. "Pictures of Home" is a great track to hear each member of the band doing their thing.
Believe it or not, there are no videos of the “Made in Japan”, so I enjoy this live version much more. Seeing each band member’s skillful contributions and perfect timing reveals their great musicianship.
One of the funniest things is if you watch this video a bunch of times you notice the people in the background who look so unimpressed! They are sitting there like nothing is happening. I would have been losing my shoots if I had seen this live!
There are even better performances of this, especially Stockholm 1970 (ua-cam.com/video/G54KUqOsf34/v-deo.html at an hour and a half in). That's how crazy accomplished these guys were!
Ian Gillan played Jesus in the Rock Opera 'Jesus Christ Superstar" - 70's. You've got to check out his version of "Gethsemane"..... You'll never be the same
I will never be able to understand why you reacters and you suggesters have this obsessive mania to react and suggest this version of child in time and not the one from MADE IN JAPAN! ..either because they are too young, or perhaps because you have zero knowledge.
Gracias precioso joven!! Deep Purple es con Led Zeppelin y Black Sabbath la " Trinidad Sagrada" del Rock. Pioneros y padres del Metal. Para mí, Deep Purple 💜 los mejores!! Adoro la voz de Ian Gillan 😍. 💜💜💜💜💜. MK II , la mejor formación de 5 genios unidos!!
Because this version is the best live version WITH original footage by far! We "obsessive" fans (I bought IN ROCK album in 1970) LOVE to watch and SEE our heroes at "work". What's so hard to understand? We all know how good the MADE IN JAPAN album is, nearly as good as URIAH HEEP LIVE January 1973 ;)
@@josefhorndl3469 man, it doesn't matter to me that there necessarily is video. what interests me is the quality and level of the version. and if the made in Japan one is the biggest in history (because it is, the biggest in history) if you are someone who understands a bit of music or wants to know the band as best as possible, do the reaction on that! even if there is only the cover image. and then to see what, Ritchie doing a bad and inconsistent solo and Gillan not even coming close to the Made in Japan version and an horrible sound? ..if anything, you could do one thing: present it to reactors simply as the only video version; but don't say, in the comments, that the live 70 is the most incredible, the greatest, ..the goat! because that's what people say.
This is perfection!
Close to it. Welcome to the club!
I was 14 when I first heard this in 1970. Still loving it today! Thank you!

Before there was heavy metal, there was Deep Purple. They influenced everyone who created metal.
Deep Purple Led Zeppelin the 2 best bands of the era with the greatest musicians and 2 greatest singers imo.

Unexplainable Excellance!!!!
Dude. I've seen alot of reactions to this, one of my all time favorite, performances. You nailed it. 👍

Omg It’s a Beautiful Day - White Bird ! Thanks I forgot all about them!
It isnt a piano being played, its a Hammond Organ - the precourser to the synthesizer. This came out during the Vietnam War.
Got it thanks alot
But it's not about the Vietnam war, it's about the Cold war.
@@larteonceagain Offhand, the only two I can think of (directly portraying the conflict) was Jimi Hendrix "Machine Gun" and Kate Bush "Pull Out The Pin" with Dave Gilmour on backing vocals. I'm sure there were many others.
@@warrenbridges1891 I think you misunderstood what I wrote. I wrote that Child In Time is about the Cold War not the Vietnam war.

🤠🏞️🐂
This live performance far surpasses the studio version, Magnifica!
No auto correct and no click tracks!

Had nowt do with Vietnam. It was about the cold war that affected us in the UK. Vietnam didn't affect us.
Try Deep purple - Highway Star, Live/made in japan. High energy/ you will love it! Also, space truckin and burn
The original band in this video consisted of Ian Gillan Vocals , Ian Pace on drums Roger Glover on bass John Lord on Keys and Ritchie Blackmore on guitars.

Spacetruckin is a banger by them
Saw them back in 75 right after David Coverdale joined the band. ELO opened for them and it was a terrific concert!

Probably Steve Morse on guitar.
Ian Paice on drums. David Coverdale joined as singer after Ian Gillan left.
Thank you
Masterpiece

No Voice altering devices or crotch grabbing back in the good old days.
I will recommend that you listen also from them to:
- Space trucking.
- Stormbringer.
- Woman from Tokyo.
I would add “Highway Star” and "Hush". But of course, there are many more that could be added. These are just a couple I think should be on the list - of course, I like them so I would add them - lmao.
Ian Gillian played the part of Jesus on Broadway in Jesus Christ Superstar - what a voice!!!!!
No he did the original record soundtrack of Jesus Christ Superstar but did not perform the shows as was too busy with his DP commitments. His contribution to the soundtrack as the 'original Jesus ' is of course incredible and he definitely had the look haha.
@@yozaseig3870 thanks I was befuddled
Just wait until you check out Highway Star, or Fireball !
Have you heard highway star that's cool
Numbers 1
Rat Bat Blue is a good one to hear Lord tare up the keyboard. Yeah. Peace
I would love to see you react to "Firth of Fifth" by Genesis. Cheers, mate!

I'll check it out thank you!
Wow, I didn't think it could get better than this! I'll check it out. Cheers.
Believe it or not, there are no videos of the “Made in Japan”, so I enjoy this live version much more. Seeing each band member’s skillful contributions and perfect timing reveals their great musicianship.
You should listen to "Hush" from their first album in 1968 with the original band lineup
One of the funniest things is if you watch this video a bunch of times you notice the people in the background who look so unimpressed! They are sitting there like nothing is happening. I would have been losing my shoots if I had seen this live!
Sometime it’s painful watching Gillan nail those high screams.
👍👍👊
The days before auto tune
