I really enjoyed the "Made IN Japan" album the best as it ws the one I listened to in my 8-track back then driving that '65 Olds 442." " " Lazy" was my favorite song on that album.
Just not the live version because David Coverdale's vocals are flat and undiscernable. Glenn Hughes sang the bridge both live and studio, and I always wonder why they didn't ditch Coverdale and let Hughes sing all of it. He's like, 70 now and his voice hasn't faltered a bit. Coverdale in his prime was less than average.
This is one of the few hard rock groups I enjoyed in the 60's-70's. "Smoke On The Water" is their most popular song. Everyone has heard that famous riff. Some of my favorites are their covers of Joe South's "Hush" & Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman". Also like "Child In Time", "Woman From Tokyo", "Lazy", "Fireball", "Speed King", "Space Truckin'" etc.
*_"Also like Child In Time"_* The live version on _"Made in Japan"_ is stupendous. But did you know, it's such a --rip off-- err... adaptation/copy of an older song, it's almost a cover? They all did in those days, not just Led Zeppelin. Gillan said that the organ riff in _"Child in Time"_ is based on _It's a Beautiful Day's_ 1969 song _"Bombay Calling"._ _It's a Beautiful Day_ then borrowed Purple's riff from _"Wring That Neck"._ {:o:O:}
Its the full range including all those mentioned that I love. Its also great when they mix it with adlibs like Noise Abatement Society, Gillan/Blackmore challenge and or throw in something like Anyone's Daughter.
DEEP PURPLE, "HIGHWAY STAR". for your enjoyment. As a 16 year old in 1973. I can say the whole DEEP PURPLE, MACHINE HEAD Album will tickle the rock and roller in you. Next would be "MAYBE I'M A LEO".
That's what made Purple so great... they are all technically proficient on their instruments, but they know how to play with feeling and just create great music that works as a whole Check out the 1970 live performance of Child In Time to see them in action
Deep Purple is another one of those iconic bands that never had a single go to #1 on Billboard. As far as I can tell this one never even made the charts. It was released in 1972, and that just goes to show that Boomers, such as myself, grew up spoiled with music.
This is what I play every April when I get my Mustang out of storage and head to the highway. Also Lazy and Space Truckin. This is also the first album I ever bought. No Speeding tickets yet, knock on wood. Polo, I had a '91 4runner which I just loved. It died 200 miles short of 250,000 miles, broke my heart!
That Deep Purple sound, lovely. Fully engaged here, I need more of this. Suggestion (if not already done): Smoke on the Water. Based on a real fire, witnessed by the band at the Lake of Geneva, Switzerland.
You have to listen to Deep Purple's "Burn"! Another banger with killer soloing, drumming and singing! (though with another singer and soulful bassist/singer). It is a must!
This song was on the very 1st album I ever bought myself. I got it at St. Bartholomew's White Elephant sale back in 1978 when I was 7 yrs old & a student for 50 cents. I liked the cover and played it on my Barbie record player with the microphone 😂. Couldn't believe what was coming out of the speakers, lol. Good times and nice review. Take care 🙂
Deep Purple first came together in 1968 from the remnants of the band Roundabout... they debuted as a pop rock band and released 3 albums by 1969 and made a name for themselves in the US. But as music got more aggressive w/ the likes of Led Zeppelin and the Jimi Hendrix Experience... Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) wanted the band to take the band in that direction. He, Jon Lord (organ/ keyboards) and Ian Paice (drums) picked Roger Glover (bass) and Ian Gillan (vocals) to replace original members Rod Evans (vocals) and Nick Simper (bass) in 1969... first recording a 'Concerto' album w/ a symphonic orchestra... then, relaunching Deep Purple in 1970 w/ the single 'Black night' and album 'In Rock'... the UK and Europe embraced them immediately, but global success came in 1972 w/ this album 'Machine head' and the live album 'Made in Japan' (which was completely live) ... Deep Purple became one of the British 'unholy trinity' of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in the 70's. Unfortunately, the internal conflicts within Deep Purple led to Gillan and Glover being out of the band by 1973 after only 4 studio albums... David Coverdale (vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass + vocals) replaced them in 1974 and released 2 major albums - 'Burn' and 'Stormbringer'... but a frustrated Ritchie Blackmore quit the band in 1975 to form his own band Rainbow w/ singer Ronnie James Dio. Tommy Bolin (guitar) joined to record 1 album 'Come taste the band' in '75, but people were not interested in a Deep Purple without Blackmore on guitar... So, after a difficult tour marred by drug abuse and death, Deep Purple broke up in 1976... Tommy Bolin died from a drug OD soon after. David Coverdale went solo and found success w/ his band Whitesnake.... In 1984, the classic Deep Purple line-up (Blackmore, Lord, Paice, Glover and Gilllan) reunited to record a comeback album 'Perfect strangers' and a world tour... But more old problems w/ Blackmore's erratic administration led to the guitarist leaving Deep Purple in 1993, just as the band was touring for their 25th anniversary... Steve Morse (guitar) joined in 1994 and Deep Purple were back on tour, recording new music and built their popularity back up. In 2002, Jon Lord (keyboards) amicably left the band to pursue classical music projects... He passed away from cancer in 2012. Don Airey (keyboards) replaced Jon Lord in '02... the band toured and recorded new music and enjoyed a career resurgence. In 2022, Steve Morse (guitar) opted to leave the band as Deep Purple were touring their final years... Simon McBride (guitar) joined the band as Deep Purple has been touring consistently.
Ian gillan is one of greatest vocal in the history, ian paice one of the greatest drummers in the history, blackmore is one of the greatest guitar in the history, jon lord one of the greatest keyboards/organ in the history, just it hahahahah roger glover i love you too
This is a great band. Most of the music that I listened to back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s was more soft rock, folk rock, and pop BUT I did love listening to Deep Purple, Bad Company, and Aerosmith.
I usually don't recommend the live version first but in this case I would def recommend Deep Purple "Live. Made in Japan". It is a classic and my favorite DP album.
Deep Purple are an awesome band from my youth Child in Time Space Trucking Lazy Also a couple more Rush songs Caravan from the Time Machine Tour Natural Science from the Molson Amphitheatre Toronto Digital Man from the Snakes and Arrows tour Also another brilliant Canadian guitarist Jeff Healey See the Light from Night Music 1988 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
The live version from Made In Japan is the killer version for me. One of my favorite bands, still recording and touring, 55 years after putting out their first album.
I remember cruising to this! Going fast in my own little muscle car, a 1968 Cougar! No tickets though. I'm so glad you found Deep Purple! Lots more to find from them!
I am sure mentioned below a 100x - need to watch their live performance in 1970s on UK TV of them doing "CHILD IN TIME" a rare showcase of live true talent. Truly exceptional vocals and playing by the band.
The most overly reacted to song thats simply terrible. Just because its suggestion is parroted across UA-cam doesn't make it a good song. Whining and screeching is not enjoyable. Better off listening to "Perfect Strangers" or "Knocking at your back door" or "Tokyo Woman" or "Hush" or so many others.
I remember listening to Made in Japan on repeat one day. Amazing. Ian Gillan's wail...Blackmore's insane guitar...John Lord on the keys...I mean damn. They were so much more than Smoke on the Water...Hush...Space Truckin'...the song I always remember is My Woman From Tokyo. So incredible. Oh, there's a damn good reason so many reactors have found Child in Time...Ian is beyond comprehension on that track, and he's hardly alone.
How wonderful for you to hear/hear of Deep Purple for the FIRST TIME! I enjoyed that experience 50+ years ago; and I've loved their music ever since. A truly GREAT BAND. Lots to recommend, especially Live in Japan. Perhaps listen next to LAZY. BTW, all of these GREAT UK bands from the 60s/70s trace their musical interest/roots to The Blues.....which makes you think........ Keep up the good work; your younger audience will benefit from your appreciation of great music, from any era. Paul (in England)
From Wikipedia: This song was born on a tour bus going to Portsmouth in 1971 when a reporter asked the band how they wrote songs. To demonstrate, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed an acoustic guitar and began playing a riff consisting of a single "G" repeated over and over, while vocalist Ian Gillan improvised lyrics over the top. The song was refined and was performed that same night.[5] The song first appears on the 1972 LP Machine Head. The track remains one of the band's staples in live concerts, and was the set opener even before it was released on any album.
There is an audio recording out there of the second time they played the song. Lyrics are not quiet there yet and you can here Gillan singing things like Mickey Mouse as a place holder for whatever the final lyric was to be.
Lazy has been my favorite from them since the 70's. Dropped about the time I was born (71). When I was a kid the teenagers were listnening to this. This album is literally (along with Twisted Sister, Ratt and the O.G. Heavy Metal soundtrack) in my home videos lol!
"Smoke on the Water" is their best song and one of my all-time favorites. If you were driving and playing today's reaction song you definitely had to watch out for your foot on the gas pedal ! This Boomer says thankyou for this song. 😍
The entire album, MACHINE HEAD, is a killer. If i have miles to travel, this helps burn the miles away. And even to this day (am 67), I can name all the MK2 bandmembers. Also, a side note; Ian Gillan, was the voice of Jesus from the 1969 rock album JESUS CHRIST, SUPERSTAR.
Insanely good rhythm section, iconic singer and Jon Lord and Richie Blackmore always trying to one up each other on keys and guitar. Monster band all the way around. Off to take a ride in my Challenger right now.
Yesssss look what I have suggested. I have suggested fire! Man I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Can't wait for more reactions and no worries about the phone call!
The live '70 version of Child In Time is a must. Also a couple of their later songs Knocking At Your Back Door and Perfect Strangers shouldn't be overlooked
Summer of 74 and I'm cruising down the costal highway north of San Francisco to Point Reyes National Park in a Volkswagen bus for a campout on the beach with my friends and this was playing on our 8-track tape player. How appropriate!
Well, the obvious starting point is "Smoke on the Water" It has the world's most recognizable guitar riff as an intro, and tells the true story of the recording of the Machine Head album. "Burn" is another one where paying careful attention to the lyrics is essential to appreciating the work. Then "Child in Time" perhaps, for a change of pace and a great sound. It's a deep rabbit hole you are jumping into, enjoy the trip!
Hey Polo. How about this band, right? The musicianship of each individual musician in this group is dope and together they are great. They made great records and they were also a great live band. Check out some more Deep Purple, you will not be disappointed! Peace.
The best opening song for a concert I've seen, caught their 2018 show twice with Judas Priest Ian and Rob still belting out those high vocals for 70 years old. Thanks.
Congratulations, you have just heard your first song by the greatest band in the world. They are still touring and still making new amazing music. You have found the gold mine!!! My suggestion is to hear something very different than Highway star. React to "Sometimes I feel like screamin´" live in Royal Albert hall
Awesome Polo, now that you made it to the 70s classic rock, progressive rock is right aound the corner. So, I will insist with King Crimson - Frame by frame. Love what you do, salute from Chile 🇨🇱!
This is the shit, man. This is what I grew up on ...!! Ian Gillan on vocals was a trip in itself..then Paicey on drums made your heart beat 10xs, but Jon Lord, their classically trained organist-- made this band-- 💜💜💜💜💜

Another kick ass underrated drummer was Jerry Edmonton of steppenwolf
Watch Deep purple child in time live from 1970
If you enjoy deep Purple and want to hear more of Richie Blackmore the guitarist he has a band called Blackmore’s Night with his wife doing vocals.
Ian Paice, hands down, one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. Brilliant.
No
Best Lefty drummer all time!
@@robtintelnot9107yes
Without a doubt .
True
This entire album is amazing, "Lazy" and "Space Truckin' " will blow your mind.
Pictures of Home is highly underrated.

Lazy. 100%

The Deep Purple song 'Lazy' is one of my favorites.
At this point 10 million deep purple fans beg you to review Child in time live
Yeah... my favourite Purple song.
Live version on Made in Japan album is great !
Ritchie Blackmore, the guitarist, always had great riffs. He's the riffmaster in my opinion.
‘Burn’ would be a good follow up to this song. Great riff and outstanding drumming.
Seconded! Especially since Polo enjoyed the drums on this one, Burn is a fantastic next step!
Just not the live version because David Coverdale's vocals are flat and undiscernable. Glenn Hughes sang the bridge both live and studio, and I always wonder why they didn't ditch Coverdale and let Hughes sing all of it. He's like, 70 now and his voice hasn't faltered a bit.

All magnificent musicians in their own right. Jon Lord on organ is the MASTER! This came out in ‘71.

One of the most iconic albums of all time.
My favorite band when growing up. Jon Lord (Keyboard) R.I.P. 😢
That's what made Purple so great... they are all technically proficient on their instruments, but they know how to play with feeling and just create great music that works as a whole
Check out the 1970 live performance of Child In Time to see them in action
Legends! I love “Hush” and “Woman from Tokyo “. Lol on your phone going off 😊
2023 marks my 50th year as a Purple fan. Glad your diggin em.😎🎸🎸🎸
I own a 2019 Maserati Ghibli and this song blares out when I go driving at midnight.

Sometimes I listen to this song just to hear that organ solo. Jon Lord was a legend!
I’m glad you waited to hear the first verse and the chorus before pausing to comment. ✌️☮️
That Deep Purple sound, lovely. Fully engaged here, I need more of this. Suggestion (if not already done): Smoke on the Water. Based on a real fire, witnessed by the band at the Lake of Geneva, Switzerland.

Probably my favorite band, seen them several times over the years can’t go wrong with DP

A true banger.
Deep Purple are an awesome band from my youth
Child in Time

The Drummer is Ian Paice. One of the greatest rock and roll drummers of all time.
Paicey ROCKS!!
Great reaction
Any track from the Deep Purple album "Made in japan" -- all is recorded live
The live version from Made In Japan is the killer version for me. One of my favorite bands, still recording and touring, 55 years after putting out their first album.
I couldn't agree more, that live performance absolutely destroys the studio version
Good call, my man. Just saw them in February in Orlando; they opened with Highway Star. The band was amazing . . . 55 years into it. Long live Rock.
Love Deep Purple
THX Bill and good job Bill
I remember cruising to this! Going fast in my own little muscle car, a 1968 Cougar! No tickets though. I'm so glad you found Deep Purple! Lots more to find from them!
Heard this song 1000 time and never picked up on how the rhythm in the beginning mimics the sound a muscle car idling till just now😅
I am sure mentioned below a 100x - need to watch their live performance in 1970s on UK TV of them doing "CHILD IN TIME" a rare showcase of live true talent. Truly exceptional vocals and playing by the band.

Just "Child In Time".
Made in Japan?

The most overly reacted to song thats simply terrible. Just because its suggestion is parroted across UA-cam doesn't make it a good song.
Whining and screeching is not enjoyable.
Better off listening to "Perfect Strangers" or "Knocking at your back door" or "Tokyo Woman" or "Hush" or so many others.
The 1970 performance of Child in Time is perfect for a reaction. One of the greatest I've ever seen, for sure.
Spine tingles.
Yeah! This entire album is well worth reacting to.
I remember listening to Made in Japan on repeat one day. Amazing. Ian Gillan's wail...Blackmore's insane guitar...John Lord on the keys...I mean damn. They were so much more than Smoke on the Water...Hush...Space Truckin'...the song I always remember is My Woman From Tokyo. So incredible.
Oh, there's a damn good reason so many reactors have found Child in Time...Ian is beyond comprehension on that track, and he's hardly alone.
My Woman From Tokyo is an awesome track. Classic under appreciated gem.
Burn too!!
When a blind man cries,you will love it!!
Space Truckin is a killer Deep Purple track, my favorite

Love the break for station identification lol
From the same landmark album (Machine Head) try out “Lazy”
It will have your jaw dropping.
The whole album is a rock powerhouse.
Some awesome live .
Man what a coincidence, just last night I sent you a message on instagram and recommended space truckin’ by deep purple. Love this song as well though
"Smoke on the Water" is their best song and one of my all-time favorites. If you were driving and playing today's reaction song you definitely had to watch out for your foot on the gas pedal ! This Boomer says thankyou for this song. 😍

Back in "the day", I grew up with these guys, we called it "hard rock" but then Purple took it a new genre we called "speed rock."
Now you need to follow up with Child in Time - Live (1970) to really experience the magic of Ian Gillan's voice.
Loved your reaction. The instrumental parts just add the feeling that you are racing down the road at high speeds😂😂
Yesssss look what I have suggested. I have suggested fire!

Highly recommend Child in Time and Hush
DP's been around 54 years now, same killer drummer the whole way through, and he still knocks it out of the park.
First heavy metal album I purchased. Maybe the first album? Been a while.
"You Fool No One" and/or "Burn" from the album Burn.
Child in Time...!!!!
This entire album is fire!
I seen Deep PURPLE and EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER in concert in 99,
AWESOME!!!!! LISTEN TO EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER SOMETIME😎👍
Try the live version from the Made in Japan album. It blows the studio version out of the water.
BRING IT👍
Thumb up for the song, I love it and feel it.
Is the music of your parents, no matter of colour.
You wreck a good clip with your face in it
This song was written and recorded in late 1971..these are some serious musicians..check out child in time live 1970 from this same band.
Now you have rounded out the unholy trinity. Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple. 😎🤘
Amen
praise them
great reaction!
Hey Polo. How about this band, right? The musicianship of each individual musician in this group is dope and together they are great. They made great records and they were also a great live band. Check out some more Deep Purple, you will not be disappointed! Peace.

The best opening song for a concert I've seen, caught their 2018 show twice with Judas Priest Ian and Rob still belting out those high vocals for 70 years old. Thanks.
Congratulations, you have just heard your first song by the greatest band in the world. They are still touring and still making new amazing music. You have found the gold mine!!!
My suggestion is to hear something very different than Highway star. React to "Sometimes I feel like screamin´" live in Royal Albert hall
Awesome Polo, now that you made it to the 70s classic rock, progressive rock is right aound the corner. So, I will insist with King Crimson - Frame by frame. Love what you do, salute from Chile 🇨🇱!
This is the shit, man. This is what I grew up on ...!! Ian Gillan on vocals was a trip in itself..then Paicey on drums made your heart beat 10xs, but Jon Lord, their classically trained organist-- made this band-- 💜💜💜💜💜
