Yes also they didn't have digital audio workstations, everything was captured on tape from live takes. These folks had to be good musicians as studios were expensive, so you had to get it right first time and not take all day.
@@svenlima vocoder’s and auto tune are different things dude. Auto-Tune (or autotune) is an audio processor introduced in 1997 by Antares Audio Technologies. Auto-Tune uses a proprietary device to measure and alter pitch in vocal and instrumental music recording and performances. In its role distorting vocals, Auto-Tune operates on different principles from the vocoder or talk box and produces different results.
@@svenlima You are both wrong. There are many types of pitch controls used in recording vocals other than autotune. The Beatles used it. But this was recorded live. No pitch control here.
I get so tired of old farts saying this same tired, lame thing under reaction videos. I am 66, and don't feel any need to be defensive about the music I like. Get over it, old man.
Yep, it was a TV show. The audience was told by the TV people not to react until after the song was over because they didn't want any audience noise on the recording.
The version on 'Made in Japan' is the greatest live version, in the opinion of most, myself included. The guitar work in particular is just phenomenal, whilst in this version Ritchie's just messing about.
One of the other 'Few Times' when the 'Live Version' was better than to original was Led Zeppelin's live version of 'Since I've Been Lovin' You'. Peace
Take into consideration that this was probably filmed somewhere around 1969. Now, I was born in 1970, and I was able to come to understand over years and years that 'studio audiences' back in the day were instructed on how or how "not" to act......this is why everyone seems not into it... They actually are....they just weren't allowed to show it......it's fucking sad to be honest. We're going back to this age now, where we are told how we can and cannot act.....it sucks! But, thanks for this reaction!!! This is such an awesome song and vocal performance..... "PERHAPS" this is why artists were so good "back in the day" we had restrictions and boundaries that "HAD" to be broken..... There was a lot of frustration and PASSION......
Great choice! They recorded this in Manchester, England in 1970 and from what I can remember the place they were at just wanted the audience to be quiet while they got it all. That's why they were silent during it.
A friend of mine is a producer and he played around a lot with auto-tune. He told me that the weird thing about it is, that the better the singer actually sings, the worse auto-tune sounds. Auto-tune corrects pitch and if the singer is already perfect it does virtually nothing. When you hear some heavy auto-tune it's always because the singer didn't hit a single note xD Since I've heard that story, I always have to smile when I hear auto-tune.
@@liquidminds The majority of the time you wont even hear it because its so sophisticated these days, all albums literally are post processed now. The most common kind of autotune is the one used for style currently
Deep Purple "Highway Star" Live. They wrote the song while traveling to their concert. Rehearsed it once the same day before the concert, then included it in that concert that day.
Ian Gillan was a truly amazing vocalist, who, in addition to being in Deep Purple, sang on the original concept album for Andrew Lloyd Weber's Jesus Christ Superstar, as Jesus, which ran for years on Broadway and London's West End.
Believe me, all audiences knew how to rock out to these performances back then. But some TV shows restricted dancing and other audience participation because it could interfere with audio levels or visual shots. And autotune wasn't introduced until 1997.
The guys they used to have running those studios tended to be ex Britsh army non coms as well. So when they told you to sit down and stay quiet, that's what you did.
Auto-Tune is a software for automatic pitch correction of music recordings. It was introduced in 1996 by the U.S. company Antares and was considered for some years as a standard tool of music studios for the correction of vocal passages. The highly exaggerated pitch correction deliberately used as a sound effect became famous through the song Believe by Cher from 1998 and is therefore often referred to as the Cher effect. In the 70s it is real handmade music and singing talent.
Deep Purple are part of the Unholy Trinity of British Rock with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. The audience were told not to react to Deep Purple so the cameras could just focus on the band. Other tracks you should check out are Space Truckin, Smoke on the Water, Mistreated, Lazy amongst many others. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yes, back in the day when live meant ‘live’, no autotune, no miming to a pre recorded tape just musicians with talent who were exceptionally good at their craft.
It was a TV show the band were appearing on - this was 1970 - they were told not to "emote". The bands at this had no autotune - no drum machine - recording was analogue (SO NO CLICK TRACKS FOR STRICT TIME KEEPING) - It was a time when the instrumental virtuoso was king (as it had been in jazz beforehand) so it was all new - the album this came from and this track (particularly Ian Gillan's singing) was a shock to a lot of ears. at the time - ears more attuned to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. The record this came from along with Black Sabbath were the nascent beginnings of what was to become Heavy Metal.
The only auto-tune technique in 1970: holding your hand against your ear to properly monitor your own pitch. Hard rock was still new and uncannily dangerous back in 1970. You can sense that some audiences with their kids felt uncomfortable....
Ian Gillan is one of the greatest (maybe the greatest) vocalists in heavy rock . For me it's a close call between Gillan, Roger Daltrey (The Who) and Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin)
Lot of bands appeared on TV show where teenagers were only wanted bands that you could dance to. This was was a protest song about war (Vietnam) and not the audience scene.
No autotune back then, just pure talent. I'm so glad you picked this 1970 live version. It's my favourite, way above the album version (though that's also great). I've heard that back in the day, TV audiences were instructed not to react much until the end of the songs when on camera. Though here I suppose they were all moved to stunned silence and tears, as I was when I first heard it. In 1970 there was not only the Vietnam War (which Gillan composed this in protest against) but among many other sad things the Kent State Massacre, where the Ohio National Guard fired into a group of unarmed students in a peaceful anti-war demonstration, tragically wounding dozens and killing four: three demonstrators and one passerby who was just walking to class when a stray bullet hit. 😢 This song also makes me think of that. It's a timeless classic that is sadly relevant to every war or crazed shooting incident ever. The album version may not have been released as a single, or it didn't get much air play due to it's length. Slow buildups and beat changes/ progressions were very common at the time. They felt like chapters in a narrative. Songs had time to breath and take listeners along on the journey. I miss that in today's Pop/Rock music! I've heard that Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were considered the founders of Heavy Metal, but maybe you knew that already. Thanks for a great review! 👏😁 I've liked and subbed! PS: Fun fact: Ian Gillan sang the role of Jesus in the original "Jesus Christ, Superstar".
Back in early days of rock no autotune, very few effects or fancy smancy light shows. They played loud as crap and jammed. Leaving concerts with your ears ringing, trying to go to sleep later. Still ringing the next morning or bit of hearing loss. Deep Purple was one of those bands. Do I regret.. Hell No! I’d do it again.✌️
What a tune and is pure talent the people in the crowd probably don't realise what they have just witness and also no auto tune them days just pure talent 🇬🇧
Oh that famous Gillian scream. What cracks me up is the audience are all sitting down perfectly still. One even looked bored. Wasn't like that when I saw them back in the 70s. It was crazy. ✌
Deep Purple is one of the British 'Big 3' (w/ Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath) that pioneered the hard rock/ heavy metal genre. They went thru so many members since being formed in 1968... Ian Paice (drums) is the only original member today! 😂 But this was 1970, and this line-up of Deep Purple (Mark II) had just got together in 1969 and did an orchestra record... Then, they heard the music of Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, and wanted to make that brand of 'heavy' rock music... this album 'In rock' was their 5th album overall, and took off in the UK and Europe... Ian Gillan (vocals) is considered the voice of Deep Purple (despite not being the original singer) and brought his love of Little Richard's singing high to the band. This line-up was the most significant of their career - Ian Gillan (vocals), Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Jon Lord (keyboards), Roger Glover (bass) & Ian Paice (drums) Today, Gillan, Glover & Paice are still carrying on w/ Deep Purple w/ Steve Morse (guitar) & Don Airey (keyboards)... Jon Lord passed away in 2012... Ritchie Blackmore quit in 1993... Ian Gillan is 76 yrs old ( he can't do the high screams today at his age) & is still performing on stage.
In his prime, no one could touch him. Pity he destroyed his vocal chords and after the surgery he was never the same. Still great, but lost a bit of his range and power.
The First time I saw Deep Purple was on 1994, here in Monterrey, México...the Last Tour that they played this song Live! .....the new album is Awesome!
I saw these guys live 2 times back in the early 70's. They were amazing live. Trust me, people weren't just sitting there watching. Ian Gillan's vocals were chilling. With Jon Lord at the organ and Ritchie Blackmore on lead they were considered pioneers of heavy metal. Another stellar reaction. Rock on. 🤘 Peace. ✌
You can see it in their faces...The absolute musicality brushes over their faces and becomes something amazing. Ian Gillians' third intro into the third chorus actually startled these two. Much as it should be.
Okay kiddies this was a BBC live broadcast. Can you imagine a band coming in and fuckin rocking out this hard for maybe 75 people nowadays. Ian Gillan was the voice of Jesus in FLW Jesus Christsuperstar before joining Deep Purple. Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord on KEYS, Roger Glover on bass and last but not least was Ian Paice on drums. They on their first album together had IN ROCK album with their faces on Mt Rushmore. I still play this album today and it was a true hard rock classic Speed king, Flight of the rat are also ultimate choices off this classic line up.
The lead singer Ian Gillan was the lead in Jesus Christ Superstar before joining Deep Purple. Remarkable voice! The Keyboardist is Jon Lord, one of the best in the business. Lead guitarist is Richie Blackmore and leader of the band. He also has another band called Rainbow. Ian Paice on Drums. Excellence. Highway Star is a good one as well as Lazy!
I may comment again but I am not through the entire video yet but I just wanted to pause it and get on here and say since you mentioned Auto-Tune that there was no such thing as anything like auto-tune in 1970 when this was done!!! What you hear is raw unedited vocal Talent!! Auto-tune not even needed!
This was a BBC TV audience mostly comprising of of BBC workers wives and young children if you noticed. So No rhis was just a normal section of people just taking the show in!
I barely remember when I was a kid I had a deep purple album I believe it might have been Machine Head, I had a little turntable and 2 speakers. Don't remember the name of the song but it was a hard rocker and it stopped all at once I felt like I was sucked into the speakers it was wonderful, By the way I'm 70 years old. Peace out
Deep Purple was a Heavy Metal founder. They took the ‘60’s hard rock, art rock, and recording advances to the next level with their musicianship, and jam based freestyle jamming. Totally HEAVIED UP the music with that guitar-bass-drum-organ-voice combo.🤘🖖✌️🥁🎤🎹🎸🥇👌👍
More Deep Purple: "Lazy", "Highway Star", "Perfect Strangers (this one is from their reunion in the 80s so they are older). This lineup was their 2nd and classic lineup called their MK II lineup. This lineup includes Ian Gillan on vocals, Ian Paice on drums, Roger Glover on bass, the late Jon Lord on keyboard and Ritchie Blackmore on guitar.
"Legendary!" indeed. You picked the correct version to react to and it was great to see your smiles throughout as you appreciated 5 legends at work. Sadly Jon Lord, the keyboard player is no longer with us (RIP) but Ian Gillan, the vocalist, Ian Paice, the drummer and Roger Glover (the bassist) are still together and still playing as Deep Purple, still producing fantastic new material. The guitarist Ritchie Blackmore is still going too, in his own band (I think). So many songs for you to catch up on. One of my favourite albums is Perfect Strangers - not a bad song on it
Totally agree with you on Perfect Strangers, has one of my all time favorite tracks the title song, that and Burn off the Burn album cant beat either of them.
Visually it's the best choice, as it's the full live performance, rather than bits of different concert footage cobbled together. Deep Purple were always best at proper live concerts though. The version from 'Made in Japan' is viewed as the best live version by most. The guitar is out of this World on that version. On this version Ritchie's just messing about and the rest of the band are somewhat subdued. Understandable considering the setting. :)
His autotne was sticking his finger in his ear so he could hear himself better. It appears Ian was having trouble with the monitors and couldn't hear himself in the mix properly, hence, plugging one ear.
He incredible talent in this ban. Ritchie Blackmore one of the very greatest guitar players. Jon Lord a virtuoso on organ. Ian Paice and Roger Glover keeping the back beat on drums and bass and the range of Ian Gillian. My favorite band and maybe my favorite Deep Purple song.
80’s bangers were jst carrying on from all the “GOATS” from the 70’s...so much raw n pure talent tht is sadly leaving us more n more these days...LEGENDS nvr DIE
@@joenorris5648 theres always one argumentative asshole, check your facts, purple, sabbath, and zeppelin are credited with being the founders of heavy metal
You have to do Deep Purple's "Highway Star" next another mind blowing performance. I also think a lot of the audience was in shock in 1970 as we were are now in our decade.
Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s, Deep Purple was one of my all time favorite bands. You should give a listen to the live performance of When a Blind Man Cries, incredible vocals and music. Highway Star is another great song along with many others.
This was NOT mainstream music. In 1970, this was the musical equivalent of the gates of hell opening to “normies”. The kids in this audience were probably there to see Bobby Sherman or The Carpenters. I guarantee you the majority of them not only were wondering what the hell was going on but also HATED it.
You dont find much talent like this these days. Now singers in the charts are very limited in talent. They use technology/cgi, auto tune, miming, etc to create their songs. The level of the some of these great musicians in the past was on different level. They were truly ARTISTS The true test is put any of them against these guys on LIVE set format, and see how they fare. Chalk and cheese. The gap in talent would be stark
If the audience is sitting on their hands because this was a new experience for them and they didn't know what else to do to do besides what was done in the past. sit there and listen
Back in the day tv audiences were told to behave. This is obviously filmed for some tv show. There were many very good ones that came after the staunch moral values portrayed on Ed Sullivan and similar shows of the time. Rockpalast, Old Grey Whistle Test are only a couple of great shows that filmed many great bands of that era without so many restrictions. Look at the Zeppelin video for How Many More Times recorded for tv on a Danish soundstage. They knock it out if the park and people just sit there. There were many bands that said they hated doing TV appearances because the audiences were non participators.
Did you notice the audience, all sitting, stone faced. NO one moving, showing the slightest emotion. You just noticed what I mentioned as I was typing.. You were correct, the producers told the audience "If anyone moves they're OUT" I would have HATED being in that audience because I wouldn't have been able to sit still.. ROCK ON. 🤟🤘🤙👌👍😍 Yea, do more PURPLE & ZEPPELIN..
This band is one of the forerunners of heavy metal. In my opinion, they are up there with Zeppelin, although Zeppelin is the top. I suggest "Fireball" from Deep Purple.
Like here, shows in Britian, audience were not allowed to participate during live event because shows were being broadcast on its network. Today, shows like Tonight Show still have those rules. But during live concerts, audience can get down.
Blackmore arguably the greatest rock guitarist ever , later on went to start his own band called rainbow in 1975 with Ronnie James dio that was considered the greatest rock line up ever ! I suggest if you want to continue to listen to this amazing band start with .. highway star made in Japan live , burn , misstreated , Woman from Tokyo, stormbringer , sail away , perfect strangers, Battle rages on and many more.
Thanks for this reaction, I really enjoyed it. For more Deep Purple I suggest, "Burn", which actually has 2 different singers; then back to this singer -- "Smoke on the Water", "Highway Star", "Space Truckin"; "Woman from Tokyo", "Lazy", "Perfect Strangers", "Knocking on Your Back Door", "Sail Away". Personally I would probably go with the original studio versions of these first, with the exception of "Highway Star" and for that you could do a live version -- either the "Made in Japan" version or the live version you see with the most views.
good observation on the audience .. they had to sedate them before they came on .. you have to remember this was the 70s ... Deep Purple was one of those bands that were 20 years ahead of their time .. the audience they were playing for .. had not heard anything like this .. this was not your 'bringing in the sheaves' kind of song .. they were shock during the whole thing ..
Everyone says something about the audience being so calm and quiet. You must understand they were strictly instructed to chill for this recording. Obviously, it was perfect.
I liked your video. It went from 666 likes to 667 likes, thanks to me. This video you're reacting to, may be one of my favorite I've found on the you Tube.
They didn't have Autotune 50 years ago!!! This is pure talent- not like 90% of today's "singers"
Yes also they didn't have digital audio workstations, everything was captured on tape from live takes. These folks had to be good musicians as studios were expensive, so you had to get it right first time and not take all day.

When Pavarotti says that Ian Gillian's voice was a force to be reckoned with.....you know that's something special.
The studio audience was told not to move or react, as this was being recorded for album sales.
Welcome to the 70s and real music
As Michael J Fox said in Back to the Future, they weren't ready for this yet
Yep, it was a TV show. The audience was told by the TV people not to react until after the song was over because they didn't want any audience noise on the recording.
Pure talent. One of the few times where the live version is better than the original - which is also great.
Amen.

With Purple you could say this almost anytime - that the live version is better than studio one. They were the best live band ever.
One of the other 'Few Times' when the 'Live Version' was better than to original was Led Zeppelin's live version of 'Since I've Been Lovin' You'. Peace
I think Rush’s Lakeside Park is way better live. The studio version is bland, to me at least.

I went to a Deep Purple concert in the 80s they were brilliant well worth it.
The lead singer Ian Gillan was the lead in Jesus Christ Superstar before joining Deep Purple. Remarkable voice! The Keyboardist is Jon Lord, one of the best in the business. Lead guitarist is Richie Blackmore and leader of the band. He also has another band called Rainbow. Ian Paice on Drums. Excellence. Highway Star is a good one as well as Lazy!
He was in Purple before he was approached to do Superstar.
The leader of the band from the beginning was Jon Lord.
I may comment again but I am not through the entire video yet but I just wanted to pause it and get on here and say since you mentioned Auto-Tune that there was no such thing as anything like auto-tune in 1970 when this was done!!! What you hear is raw unedited vocal Talent!! Auto-tune not even needed!
Someone mentioned it earlier - yes, this is the dude, that sings the Original Jesus Christ Superstar back in 1970 …. him being Jesus, of course
Garden of Gethsemane song gets to me every time
Was the lead singer in the play Jesus Christ Superstar - one of the best vocalists in rock history.
Yep, Ian Gillan sang as Jesus on the original recording.
Gethsemane is a recommendable song to listen to :-)
Yes indeed. A most divine voice
Lots of hair, great heavy rock music, it was a great time to be young.
Ian said he grew his hair and found an animal and wild spirit. He then unleashed his voice.
It was the early 70's , I bet the audience was really stoned, and Deep Purple was really groovy.
This was a BBC TV audience mostly comprising of of BBC workers wives and young children if you noticed. So No rhis was just a normal section of people just taking the show in!
@@johnkayak5488 I'm sorry I hurt your feelings with my joke. You must be great fun at parties.
back then, it was about listening and honoring performances by attention. cheering came afterwards.
I barely remember when I was a kid I had a deep purple album I believe it might have been Machine Head, I had a little turntable and 2 speakers.
Don't remember the name of the song but it was a hard rocker and it stopped all at once I felt like I was sucked into the speakers it was wonderful, By the way I'm 70 years old. Peace out
Deep Purple was a Heavy Metal founder. They took the ‘60’s hard rock, art rock, and recording advances to the next level with their musicianship, and jam based freestyle jamming. Totally HEAVIED UP the music with that guitar-bass-drum-organ-voice combo.🤘🖖✌️🥁🎤🎹🎸🥇👌👍
Cant beat a Hammond Organ with a Lesile Speaker such a stunning sound combo
More Deep Purple: "Lazy", "Highway Star", "Perfect Strangers (this one is from their reunion in the 80s so they are older). This lineup was their 2nd and classic lineup called their MK II lineup. This lineup includes Ian Gillan on vocals, Ian Paice on drums, Roger Glover on bass, the late Jon Lord on keyboard and Ritchie Blackmore on guitar.
"Legendary!" indeed. You picked the correct version to react to and it was great to see your smiles throughout as you appreciated 5 legends at work. Sadly Jon Lord, the keyboard player is no longer with us (RIP) but Ian Gillan, the vocalist, Ian Paice, the drummer and Roger Glover (the bassist) are still together and still playing as Deep Purple, still producing fantastic new material. The guitarist Ritchie Blackmore is still going too, in his own band (I think). So many songs for you to catch up on. One of my favourite albums is Perfect Strangers - not a bad song on it
Totally agree with you on Perfect Strangers, has one of my all time favorite tracks the title song, that and Burn off the Burn album cant beat either of them.
Visually it's the best choice, as it's the full live performance, rather than bits of different concert footage cobbled together. Deep Purple were always best at proper live concerts though. The version from 'Made in Japan' is viewed as the best live version by most. The guitar is out of this World on that version. On this version Ritchie's just messing about and the rest of the band are somewhat subdued. Understandable considering the setting. :)
His autotne was sticking his finger in his ear so he could hear himself better. It appears Ian was having trouble with the monitors and couldn't hear himself in the mix properly, hence, plugging one ear.
Man I think you guys would really dig the grandfunk railroad " inside looking out" LIVE 69'
Drums, guitars, bass, a B3, mics, amps, PA system…..and not a computer in sight. Just raw talent……
He incredible talent in this ban. Ritchie Blackmore one of the very greatest guitar players. Jon Lord a virtuoso on organ. Ian Paice and Roger Glover keeping the back beat on drums and bass and the range of Ian Gillian. My favorite band and maybe my favorite Deep Purple song.
80’s bangers were jst carrying on from all the “GOATS” from the 70’s...so much raw n pure talent tht is sadly leaving us more n more these days...LEGENDS nvr DIE
Again I have to say WE HAD THE GREATEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME!!! Would love to go back and be young again and enjoy the 70s.
This is a part of their Granada TV performance which is over 20 minutes long. Talent doesnt need autotune
the birth of heavy metal, a huge influence on those that followed
Black Sabbath birthed Heavy Metal. Deep Purple is not Heavy Metal.
@@joenorris5648 theres always one argumentative asshole, check your facts, purple, sabbath, and zeppelin are credited with being the founders of heavy metal
You have to do Deep Purple's "Highway Star" next another mind blowing performance. I also think a lot of the audience was in shock in 1970 as we were are now in our decade.
Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s, Deep Purple was one of my all time favorite bands. You should give a listen to the live performance of When a Blind Man Cries, incredible vocals and music. Highway Star is another great song along with many others.
"When a Blind Man Cries" is such a great song. The studio version I swear the guitar is weeping.
This was NOT mainstream music. In 1970, this was the musical equivalent of the gates of hell opening to “normies”. The kids in this audience were probably there to see Bobby Sherman or The Carpenters. I guarantee you the majority of them not only were wondering what the hell was going on but also HATED it.
60s&70s had the best music 🎵
You dont find much talent like this these days. Now singers in the charts are very limited in talent. They use technology/cgi, auto tune, miming, etc to create their songs. The level of the some of these great musicians in the past was on different level. They were truly ARTISTS
The true test is put any of them against these guys on LIVE set format, and see how they fare. Chalk and cheese. The gap in talent would be stark
1968 Iron Butterfly, "A GADDA DA VIDA", great music solos especially the drums. The original is around 17 minutes. The radio version was shorter.
If the audience is sitting on their hands because this was a new experience for them and they didn't know what else to do to do besides what was done in the past. sit there and listen
I think the best version of Child in Time is off the Made in Japan live album , Ritchie at his very best
There were no autotune back in 1970. Autotune had not been invented back then. Ian Gillian has a pure tallent.
This song is 100% masterpiece 🤘
Yes, not a concert but a studio recording.
This is not a studio recording, it's performed live for a TV show
Back in the day tv audiences were told to behave. This is obviously filmed for some tv show. There were many very good ones that came after the staunch moral values portrayed on Ed Sullivan and similar shows of the time. Rockpalast, Old Grey Whistle Test are only a couple of great shows that filmed many great bands of that era without so many restrictions. Look at the Zeppelin video for How Many More Times recorded for tv on a Danish soundstage. They knock it out if the park and people just sit there. There were many bands that said they hated doing TV appearances because the audiences were non participators.
I love how every member of the band got highlighted in this TV-show (except the bass player, well he's a bass player after all...)
There was no autotune back then. In today's world if you want to start a band all you need is auto-tune and a drum machine. Poof! an instant rock band
I hope it is the live version from (1970) all band members is on point on the live show ): ian gillian is the singer (: (: (:
" its the wonder of nature baby! "
- Phillip Seymour hoffman
Do "Lazy" next, then "Highway Star". This was a TV show and the '70's were the best!
A "must-hear" is defintely "Lazy"......and of course newer stuff like "knocking at your back door" and "perfect stranger"
Zero Auto tune.... 😏
Stay safe

Did you notice the audience, all sitting, stone faced. NO one moving, showing the slightest emotion.
You just noticed what I mentioned as I was typing..
You were correct, the producers told the audience "If anyone moves they're OUT"
I would have HATED being in that audience because I wouldn't have been able to sit still.. ROCK ON. 🤟🤘🤙👌👍😍
Yea, do more PURPLE & ZEPPELIN..
This band is one of the forerunners of heavy metal. In my opinion, they are up there with Zeppelin, although Zeppelin is the top. I suggest "Fireball" from Deep Purple.
Rock Legend 😎🤘👍❤️
Like here, shows in Britian, audience were not allowed to participate during live event because shows were being broadcast on its network. Today, shows like Tonight Show still have those rules. But during live concerts, audience can get down.
Blackmore arguably the greatest rock guitarist ever , later on went to start his own band called rainbow in 1975 with Ronnie James dio that was considered the greatest rock line up ever ! I suggest if you want to continue to listen to this amazing band start with .. highway star made in Japan live , burn , misstreated , Woman from Tokyo, stormbringer , sail away , perfect strangers, Battle rages on and many more.
It was a recording for promoting their next LP. The audience was instructed to keep it low.
Thanks for this reaction, I really enjoyed it. For more Deep Purple I suggest, "Burn", which actually has 2 different singers; then back to this singer -- "Smoke on the Water", "Highway Star", "Space Truckin"; "Woman from Tokyo", "Lazy", "Perfect Strangers", "Knocking on Your Back Door", "Sail Away". Personally I would probably go with the original studio versions of these first, with the exception of "Highway Star" and for that you could do a live version -- either the "Made in Japan" version or the live version you see with the most views.
good observation on the audience .. they had to sedate them before they came on .. you have to remember this was the 70s ... Deep Purple was one of those bands that were 20 years ahead of their time .. the audience they were playing for .. had not heard anything like this .. this was not your 'bringing in the sheaves' kind of song .. they were shock during the whole thing ..
Everyone says something about the audience being so calm and quiet. You must understand they were strictly instructed to chill for this recording. Obviously, it was perfect.
I liked your video. It went from 666 likes to 667 likes, thanks to me. This video you're reacting to, may be one of my favorite I've found on the you Tube.
Means a lot!
I love how each time the singer says "you better close your eyes" the dude in the video does.. subscribed
It was an anti-war song. The progressively higher-pitched screaming was a stunning reflection of anger and fear from the hot lead flying all around.
Back then the audience was amazed by the art, not just the beat. Deep purple is up there with Zep. “ you know what I’m saying?”😋
@ASTROVORTEX my mailman who lazy types like me.
@ASTROVORTEX I don’t know anyone who uses Led Zeppelin’s full name. They mostly shorten it to Led Zep.
@ASTROVORTEX or yours is
