This was recorded for a TV special, it's not a Concert. The audience were specifically told to keep quiet and still, which is good as we can now hear the music much better
You're watching one of the greatest bands in the world. No auto tuners, no click track, no harmonizers. Everything you get is pure 100% music. Deep Purple started in 1967 look it up.
Round applause for Ian Paice but also Roger Glover who (bass guitar) who doesn't normally get a mention but he is a machine all of Deep Purples tracks - Roger - Your amazing!
… Rock music is explained like this: There's a lead guitar, an organ, a bass, a singer, a drummer... and there's DEEP PURPLE!!! A MASTERPIECE 💎 !! There is nothing more to say! ... 🎸🎹🥁🎤 Thank you
My world at 11 years old (1973) Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin Hawkwind Black Sabbath and of course, Deep Purple Listened mostly through headphones, turned up loud... With my headphones on, I'd sing along...to this song... Now, imagine what my mom heard from downstairs when I sang along...badly....THIS song😁! Glad to see the young generation hear what my generation grew up with!👍
"WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE", THAT IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT MY FRIEND!! IT WAS A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE BUT AS A 13 YEAR OLD IN 1970 I PROBABLY DIDN'T APPRECIATE IT AS MUCH AS I SHOULD HAVE!! I DEFINITELY DO NOW THOUGH! BUT THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS AND WHEN I GOT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE IN 1974 ONE OF MY GO-TO CASSETTE TAPES IN THE CAR WAS DEEP PURPLE LIVE "MADE IN JAPAN"! (YES, PRE CD ERA) I WOULD SAY THAT DEEP PURPLE AND LED ZEPPELIN PROBABLY BROKE ONTO THE SCENE AROUND THE SAME TIME!! DEEP PURPLE PERHAPS SLIGHTLY EARLIER BUT THE FIRST LP FROM LED ZEPPELIN CAME IN 1969! AND THIS BEING 1970, THIS SONG I BELIEVE WAS FROM DEEP PURPLE'S FIRST LP!! YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO GO WRONG WITH ANY SONG BY DEEP PURPLE!!!
This is truly a masterpiece for the ages. Every member was and still are the cream of the crop. I'm actually going to Stuttgart in a few months to see them again. Well, mainly going to see Ian Paice, lol. He's been my crush for decades. Scope out The Mule and enjoy the infamous drum solo.
Both Zeppelin and Purple were formed in 1968 but early Purple was more psychedelic pop rock. At the end of 69 Purple changed their lineup, to the classic 'mark2' lineup seen here. They adopted a heavier sound and ended up competing with Zeppelin for the 'title' of biggest music act in the World! It's a shame they only stuck together for a few years but Purple mark 3 were pretty impressive too! :)
Ian Gillan was able to hit a high A5 note that Robert Plant could not reach and if he did get that high he wouldn't be hitting the note without it sounding like he's squealing
Deep Purple was formed in London in 1968. This particular line-up known as Mark II was responsible for most of their chart success but they have had quite a few very talented members in different versions.
Glad to see you doing some classic rock again. I saw Deep Purple in the 80s (Perfect Strangers Tour). I probably knew 2 songs by them back then and wasn't really interested in going, but my friend wanted to. Back then, going to a concert wasn't that expensive, so I went. To this day, it is one of the best concerts I ever went to. It was like listening to a 2-hour jam. You can't really experience Deep Purple unless you see them live they are amazing musicians.
I saw them twice - best concert of all. The second time didn't have the original lead singer - big letdown. The organist was amazing - rocking the organ back and forth.
@@dwill6665 I saw them twice , the first time I was going to see Black Sabbath but I went crazy over Deep Purple and had to see them again, I absolutely loved Ian Gillan's voice. I also saw Led Zeppelin and to me Purple will always be the best. You should listen to Ian singing Jesus Christ Superstar a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber he chose Ian to sing
And yes., Ian Paice is a lefty who absolutely swings. As an old school drummer myself, Paice is the closest thing that heavy rock came to having a Buddy Rich. Check out Space Trucking from their classic live album Made in Japan. There are so many twists and turns in their improvisation and jaw dropping in their tightness.
Your usual great reaction! Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin all came around the same time (DP a couple of years earlier), and everything seemed to peak around 1971-75, which was the golden age of modern music in my opinion. Every new album from everybody was great, and being a young teenager then was incredible. My understanding is that between the three legendary bands, there was a general friendly rivalry, and that Sabbath and Zeppelin were very friendly and even jammed together on occasion. My memory is that in his book, Tony Iommi said that "Jimmy [Page] is a mate." (Iommi and Brian May from Queen are best friends for decades). It's also my old memory/understanding that Robert Plant (who was the hot singer everybody wanted) consulted Iommi about joining Zeppelin, and Iommi recommended that he should join, since he thought Page "'had a good reputation". Also, since Iommi also plays flute very well, he was even briefly in Jethro Tull. In those days, the lead guitar player was typically the boss (not counting Tull), and the bands were generally the lead guitar player's band. It was the lead guitar player who hired and fired. Sometimes, there was a tight connection between the lead guitar player and another member that was particularly great, like between Iommi and Geezer Butler, etc.
Yes Deep Purple was founded in 1968 but Ian Gillan wasn't the original singer - he joined the band in summer 69. On the other side, Led Zeppelin was founded in '68 with Robert Plant so he actually predated Gillan by a small margin. Anyway, there was other singers back then experimenting with that high-pitch kind of singing, so it's more about a general mood than about copying. Gillan was probably the best at it back then.
Mark2 created their own genre with the monumental In Rock album. It was a genre of which only they ever played. They were quite simply the greatest group of rock musicians of all time.
Made in Japan was one of the most important albums of the early 70s for the hard rock/early prog rock lunatics like myself. Our schoolmates mostly thought we were just weirdos.
Ian Gillan was Deep Purple's 2nd lead singer, when they formed they were a more pop/psychedelic band than a heavy rock one and their singer Rod Evans was quite limited and more of a pop/crooner style vocalist. In response to the first couple of Jeff Beck and Led Zeppelin LP's Blackmore wanted to go in a heavier direction and wanted a more screamy singer similar to Robert Plant. How they found Ian Gillan has always baffled me a bit as all his early stuff I have heard was quite poppy. Child in time came out of a rehearsal session when the band discovered that he could repeatedly accurately scream on pitch. At the time of recording Blackmore was just starting to switch to strats but the 355 was still his main guitar as here. This was a Granada TV show, most likely the audience would not be fans of the band just people who had applied for tickets. In those days TV audiences where given strict instructions on how to behave and would keep quiet and still during the performance. At the end of the song stage hands would hold up cards instructing them to "applaud" or "Cheer". On this show during other songs George Best can be seen sitting on the stairs in the audience, I don't know if he was another guest on the show or was a fan of the band and used his influence for access (he was still at man u at the time and Grenada studios would be local). You mentioned the swing of the groove, Ian Paice was a huge fan of Jazz drummers like Buddy Rich and, for me, it was his swing grooves that separated him from other rock drummers of the time. He was just 21 or 22 years old when this was recorded.
I think you really haven't heard much from Episode Six, mostly probably those singles that can be found on UA-cam. I would recommend you the recordings of Radio 1 of 68-69. These are terrible audio recordings, but you can hear what Blackmore found in Gillan.
Ian Pace is the Buddy Rich of Rock drumming. Continue your musical education by becoming deeply familiar with every track on MACHINE HEAD, the album that followed IN ROCK, from which this song, their second big hit, following HUSH, comes.
Deep Purple is a legendary band playing an epic masterpiece...Ian is also the lead singer performing in Jesus Christ Superstar👏👏👏Thank u again,Wave for sharing & for ur great reaction✌✌✌
Gillan did some "screams" before Purple in Episode Six and that was before Zeppelin. But I don't think either Gillan or Plant took anything from each other.
Nice reaction. FYI, in the late 60s, the five big bands were The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, The Who, and Deep Purple. Most of modern hard rock/heavy metal is founded on them.
@@allisall1309 this is why for many years all my favorite bands were British. I gravitated to the ones like Deep Purple that could incorporate piano and soft vocals and turn around on a dime and melt your face with heaviness.
In Australia we got Deep Purple before Led Zepplin...... probably their first 2 or 3 singles. We didn’t get Led Zep until 1969 in Qld......Led Zep 2. Many fans didn’t even know there was an earlier album, they thought Led Zepplin 2 was the first album. lol BUT.......The Yardbirds did come first as pioneers, and we heard about the New Yard Birds...... except we were not told that Led Zepplin was The New Yardbirds until years later. Same with the Small Faces and The Faces as well as Keith Richards and Keith Richard and then back to Richards...... we got told nothing but spin from DJ’s who didn’t know anything anyway.
Several things. The audience was asked to not make any noise during the performance since it was being recorded. Also Deep Purple's first singer was Rod Evans. But after guitarist Ritchie Blackmore heard Led Zeppelin's furst album he wanted a singer like that so they canned Evans and got Ian Gillan. I've never heard Gillan comment about Plant nir Plant comment about Gillan. Plant did make some comments about Deep Purple's singer David Coverdale, tho.
I didn't hear Plant's comments about Gillan either, but Gillan always praised Robert. Among his favorite songs, Ian names Slow Dancer, and when asked about the best singers, he listed Rodgers, Plant, Bennett, Little Richard and Lennon. Gillan has great respect for Plant and is not afraid to praise him.
@@joelombrdo Yes, Ian adored Elvis, but here is his full answer: "Dear Dr. John I'll have a shot, with the usual disclaimer. I don't see music and performers in this way. I've never subscribed to the Rock Olympics, but just for the crack I'll give you the first five greats that come to mind in each of your categories. Paul would have to be in there, he has a unique and very pleasing voice. Obviously Robert Plant and certainly Cliff Bennett, Little Richard and John Lennon, that's five already, oh dear, see the problem? Dusty Springfield was probably the greatest rock singer I ever heard. If anyone should raise an eyebrow at that, I'd like to say that I toured with Dusty in '65 and believe me.......she rocked! Suzi Quatro of course, Chrissie Hinde, Brenda Lee and Janice Joplin...Then the players, I'm leaving out Steve, Jon, Rog, Paicey, Ritchie etc. etc. (oh there's another five) so....Jimi Hendrix, your namesake Dr. John (or Mac Rebanack as he likes to be known), Keith Moon, Angus Young, Ian Anderson. Cheers, ig". 😊
Two things about the response, or lack thereof, of the crowd. First, they've been admonished to be quiet for the live in studio recording session. Second, they're British. They do understated better than most people. 😀
Nice reaction. But really, how could you get through that without commenting on the drums and the Akane connection. Ian Paice is one of the few drummers she’s mentioned by name and you can hear some elements of his style that she picked up and refined. Also, this really takes me back. I bought the lp in the early 70s when I was in JrHi and absolutely loved this song. I drove my parents crazy listening to it over and over. One of the landmark lps in the history of rock.
Such a great classic song from a band filled with masters of their craft. So many great songs from Deep Purple, but don't forget about Ritchie Blackmore's next band called Rainbow, with Ronnie James Dio on vocals. "Stargazer" is a must listen and check out their live concert footage from the 1977 Munich concert ("Mistreated", "Catch the Rainbow", and "Man on the Silver Mountain" stand out as excellent performances)
I just came across your channel. I am wondering if you have ever reacted to Chicago Live at Tanglewood and the 25 or 6 to 4 performance. Legendary Terry Kath performance that is truly a sight to behold, and quite possible the best recorded live guitar solo ever....in my opinion
Actually no, Robert Plant and Ian Gillan are not alike. Plant is more of a hard blues singer, while Gillan is a classic hard rocker. Plant never had Gillan's vocal range and stylistic diversity, although he is more popular today.
From the album Deep Purple In Rock 1970- for me their crowning glory. For me better than Machine Head 1972 although it contained Smoke On The Water. Considering the timing changes- no in ear clicks in those days. You knew your music or you didn't. Best time for this music 1967-73.
Generation's before stood next and measured themselves, Millennials and Gen Z just run away as not too be compared due too the inability too stand up...
I would say Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple were quite different. Deep Purple was a mix of proto Heavy Metal and progressive rock. Led Zeppelin was much more Blues-Rock oriented. Black Sabbath was "pure" proto Heavy Metal.
Wow, didn’t realize Wave reacted too this. Awesome Wave. As much as I love J Metal, I get so much Deep Purple influences in the bands. Like the transition , you get a taste of in Lovebites Edge of the world. Break the wall, Miyako plays an organ on back track after her solo, nod to Jon Lord.
The Made In Japan versions show the most refined performances of this band, but even the mistakes are fascinating, no dubbing, doctoring, "fixing", just talent, talent, talent. For my money, Deep Purple was always the live preference over Led Zeppelin. Studio albums? Zeppelin, hands down.
Hello from France: Between 70 and 73 the two similar groups in competition were Deep Purple and Uriah Heep. Uriah Heep, finally, when they ejected their singer David Byron, lost themselves in the bottom of the charts while Deep Purple continued their momentum... [Entre 70 et 73 les deux groupes similaires en concurrence étaient Deep Purple et Uriah Heep. Uriah Heep, finalement, quand ils éjectèrent leur chanteur David Byron, se perdirent dans les fonds des charts alors que Deep Purple continua sur sa lancée...]
Uriah Heap, is a band that I still love after all these decades. For Me, they were always right there with Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, & Led Zeppelin in the early years.
Ian Paice is the only original member left, and he was the youngest member to be a part of DP. Here's something for you, Andrew Lloyd Weber snagged Ian Gillan for the role of Jesus (original) and recorded the entire libretto in 2 days...during this tour.
@@andrewplumb6544 Yeah, but Gillan and Glover weren't in the original band. The first singer DP had was Rod Evans and their first bassist was Nick Simper. Both Gillan and Glover joined the band at the same time about a year later (the two of them playing together in a different band before joining Purple).
i dare say that uriah heep´s albums inbetween 1970 and 1972 are pillars as well. those four bands at that special time had the same level of quality and influence.
@@geraldherrmann787 I agree. Uriah Heap were one of my favorite bands back then. I've always considered them as one of the big bands from that time. So overlooked in the annuls of rock history.
Led Zeppelin, grande gruppo, ma i DP sono stati , musicalmente parlando, di uno spessore molto più elevato...le influenze nella loro musica sono chiare, lo swing di Paice, la classicità di Lord, la limpidezza di Richtie, la solidità di Glover, il carisma e la VOCE di Gillan... tutto miscelato secondo i gusti di questi straordinari musicisti.
This was recorded for a TV special, it's not a Concert. The audience were specifically told to keep quiet and still, which is good as we can now hear the music much better
. . . thank you for this clarification, I am surprised that everyone who gives reactions wonders why the public remains calm. Yet it is obvious!
You're watching one of the greatest bands in the world. No auto tuners, no click track, no harmonizers. Everything you get is pure 100% music. Deep Purple started in 1967 look it up.

As a schoolboy in the seventies this was one of the best bands we had ever heard, still a big fan almost 60 years later.
Deep Purple tearing it up in 1970 BC, Before combs 🤣. Really glad I managed to see this lineup live.
My world at 11 years old (1973)
Pink Floyd

Listened mostly through headphones, turned up loud...

Hey! I’ve watched too many reactions to this exact video and you’re the ONLY PERSON who EVER caught Ian dropping the stick 😆👏 Good eye my man !!
From Australia , The great legendary DEEP PURPLE , I need more Peace from down under.
If you weren't alive, you'll never know how good the music was! 😢
Highway Star is a serious banger too. Same for Woman in Tokyo, Burn, Space Truckin', it’s endless.
Was like Ian painted himself in a corner, when young it can be done flawlessly but with age the voice can't handle the high notes
This is truly a masterpiece for the ages. Every member was and still are the cream of the crop. I'm actually going to Stuttgart in a few months to see them again. Well, mainly going to see Ian Paice, lol. He's been my crush for decades. Scope out The Mule and enjoy the infamous drum solo.

Jon Lord playing a Hammond with Leslie cabs is just a combo that cannot go wrong...
Jon Lord playing.....
'nuff said. ✌️💗🎼
I saw them live for the first time in 1971 ;) Awesome band ;)
Paice was brought up in jazz. There's a video of him doing a solo on the song, the Mule. You get to see his technique and how good he is. Peace
Nice ! 1970 , i was 3 years , my start as a Metalhead was 1980 - 2023 still listen to the Kind of Music - the Best Music on this Planet !
I think you are the first person to mention Ian Gillan's fractionally flat note. His accuracy is amazing considering he never used monitors on stage.
He does that flat note on purpose, he must have, he's terribly precise on everything else
Glad to see you doing some classic rock again. I saw Deep Purple in the 80s (Perfect Strangers Tour).

Made in Japan Live is masterpiece.
At the Buddocan

Word that.
Made in Japan was one of the most important albums of the early 70s for the hard rock/early prog rock lunatics like myself. Our schoolmates mostly thought we were just weirdos.

Plant sings falsetto on high notes but gillan sings from diaphram
Epic Band !
You can see that most of the performance he as his finger in his ear , that is because he could not here himself
Such a great classic song from a band filled with masters of their craft. So many great songs from Deep Purple, but don't forget about Ritchie Blackmore's next band called Rainbow, with Ronnie James Dio on vocals. "Stargazer" is a must listen and check out their live concert footage from the 1977 Munich concert ("Mistreated", "Catch the Rainbow", and "Man on the Silver Mountain" stand out as excellent performances)
Hi mate, just an FYI it's GILLAN not GILLIAN 😉😊
TV show audience told be still and quiet another tibit Ian Gillian was the orignal Jesus Christ Superstar Webber
I just came across your channel. I am wondering if you have ever reacted to Chicago Live at Tanglewood and the 25 or 6 to 4 performance. Legendary Terry Kath performance that is truly a sight to behold, and quite possible the best recorded live guitar solo ever....in my opinion
Listen to "Burn" live at the California Jam!!!!! Unreal!!!!!
Actually no, Robert Plant and Ian Gillan are not alike. Plant is more of a hard blues singer, while Gillan is a classic hard rocker. Plant never had Gillan's vocal range and stylistic diversity, although he is more popular today.
From the album Deep Purple In Rock 1970- for me their crowning glory. For me better than Machine Head 1972 although it contained Smoke On The Water. Considering the timing changes- no in ear clicks in those days. You knew your music or you didn't. Best time for this music 1967-73.
Masterpiece
Generation's before stood next and measured themselves,
Millennials and Gen Z just run away as not too be compared due too the inability too stand up...
Blackmore's solo guitar so phenomenal. I am a big fans of this top 1 hardrock band in the world
Jon lord. Self proclaimed greatest organist ever. Lol
I'll tip a pint to that. Cheers 🍻
I would say Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple were quite different. Deep Purple was a mix of proto Heavy Metal and progressive rock. Led Zeppelin was much more Blues-Rock oriented. Black Sabbath was "pure" proto Heavy Metal.
Audience was asked to keep quiet. Glad they did,!
Rock musician first time hearing this song???
Audience had to be quiet due to this special recording, that was their stipulation.
Wow, didn’t realize Wave reacted too this. Awesome Wave. As much as I love J Metal, I get so much Deep Purple influences in the bands. Like the transition , you get a taste of in Lovebites Edge of the world. Break the wall, Miyako plays an organ on back track after her solo, nod to Jon Lord.
I'm pretty sure there are two versions of this, possibly filmed on different days. The other is in Black and White and is much better.
Gracias por traer a Deep Purple!! Me gusta tu reacción. Me suscribo por que has considerado a mi banda favorita 💜💜💜💜💜
The Made In Japan versions show the most refined performances of this band, but even the mistakes are fascinating, no dubbing, doctoring, "fixing", just talent, talent, talent. For my money, Deep Purple was always the live preference over Led Zeppelin. Studio albums? Zeppelin, hands down.
Hello from France:
Between 70 and 73 the two similar groups in competition were Deep Purple and Uriah Heep. Uriah Heep, finally, when they ejected their singer David Byron, lost themselves in the bottom of the charts while Deep Purple continued their momentum...

Uriah Heap, is a band that I still love after all these decades. For Me, they were always right there with Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, & Led Zeppelin in the early years.
I remember when they were new to the music world 🌎
Well rock music actually started in the 50s
Ian Paice is the only original member left, and he was the youngest member to be a part of DP. Here's something for you, Andrew Lloyd Weber snagged Ian Gillan for the role of Jesus (original) and recorded the entire libretto in 2 days...during this tour.
Do keep up now, DP have benn touring this winter with Ian Paice, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover.
@@andrewplumb6544 Yeah, but Gillan and Glover weren't in the original band. The first singer DP had was Rod Evans and their first bassist was Nick Simper. Both Gillan and Glover joined the band at the same time about a year later (the two of them playing together in a different band before joining Purple).
We all have to start somewhere. ☺ I'd love to see LOVEBITES do a cover of Rainbow's A Light in the Black.
The audience had to keep still because of the recording.
Good stuff❤
We used too call this song "Tarzan smoked what cheetah had hidden away"...
Love it if men would grow long hair again. Thanks for this!
Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, & Black Sabbath, were the pillars of rock/metal. They are known as "The Unholy Trinity Of Rock".
i dare say that uriah heep´s albums inbetween 1970 and 1972 are pillars as well. those four bands at that special time had the same level of quality and influence.
@@geraldherrmann787 I agree. Uriah Heap were one of my favorite bands back then. I've always considered them as one of the big bands from that time. So overlooked in the annuls of rock history.
@@785boats Not overlooked by Queen and much of Europe, Russia, and Japan. With Byron and Thain one of the great lineups in rock.
What gets me every time I watch this video of deep purple. How the heck is everyone in the audience just sitting there lol
You are a rock musician ?........wow!!!
You need to watch Led Zeppelin’s “ In my time of dying” Live at Earls Court 1975. Will absolutely floor you .
You ain't heard nothing yet, wait till he really gets going
Love, love, love Deep Purple. But they ripped this song off from the band “It’s a Beautiful Day” and their song Bombay Calling.😊
How can you call yourself a rock musician if you never heard this song!
Unbelievable
It's pretty obvious.. there are a lot of other rock bands out there. 😉
Led Zeppelin, grande gruppo, ma i DP sono stati , musicalmente parlando, di uno spessore molto più elevato...le influenze nella loro musica sono chiare, lo swing di Paice, la classicità di Lord, la limpidezza di Richtie, la solidità di Glover, il carisma e la VOCE di Gillan... tutto miscelato secondo i gusti di questi straordinari musicisti.
TV studio audience told to shut up BBC television
🤘🤘
been i fan since the 60s saw them a few times in the 70s would not go to see them now cant listen to their new stuff atall
👍
Ritchie Blackmore rules!!
Have you tried a group called Renaissance?
I am waiting you react to YES - how about Close to the Edge (18 minutes).
Have watched this at least 100 times, but I never picked Paicey fumbling the stick!
So, this is what Hurley is doing nowadays!
