Millie, you really need to listen to Mark 1 tracks. The ones worth listening to are Hush - Mandrake Root - Help! - Hey Joe - Kentucky Woman - Exposition/We Can Work It Out -
Shield - Anthem - River Deep, Mountain High - Lalena - Why Didn't Rosemary? - Bird Has Flown - April. Also, from Mk II, you must listen to Place In Line.
Try “Burn”. Different singer and bass player but an amazing keyboard solo and greatest drumming ever.
Could you Please react to Rory Gallagher?? His music and live performances are awesome.
Hi Millie, always enjoy your reactions 🙂👍, didn't you react to "Highway Star" a while back though?
You need to hear the live version on Made in Japan. Really wild!!!
This song has so many drivers getting caught for speeding.
How fortunate to be young during late 1960s thru the 1970s. I would not trade that to be young today.
Graduated from HS in NYC in 1971. Every band came through town and concerts/shows is what we did all the time.
The whole Machine Head album is a classic. Lots more to react to.
First album I bought
Agreed ...It was their best album.
Great stuff from beginning to end.
Jon Lord, the absolute ruling master of the Hammond B-3 organ.
Indeed-the power and glory by the MASTER. The Lord our God!! Continuing to blow minds here in the 21st century-Love it!
Even though I am old as dirt now, I was fortunate to see Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Vanilla Fudge on their US tour for this album in 1972. Funny thing was Vanilla Fudge, and Black Sabbath opened for Deep Purple. The keyboardist is the amazing Jon Lord, singer Ian Gillian, guitar Ritchie Blackmore, bass Roger Glover and drums Ian Paice. It was one of the most amazing concerts of my life and I have seen a lot. Basically the whole audience was doing what you are now. :)
OMG Vanilla Fudge! haven't heard that band since Moby Dick was a white sardine
@@Jack96993 Heck of a band , eh! :) I wondered what happened to Moby.
I am so happy that the 21st century youth are recognizing real music.
Jon Lord on the organ & keyboards for Deep Purple... 🤘🤘He was a classically-trained pianist and composer, and he co-founded Deep Purple around 1968 w/ Ritchie Blackmore (guitar)and Ian Paice (drums)... In 1970, Deep Purple wanted to make 'heavy rock' music like Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, so they got Ian Gillan (lead vocals) and Roger Glover (bass) and made history w/ 4 major albums - "In rock" (1970)... 'Fireball' (1971)... 'Machine head' (1972) and 'Who do we think we are' (1973)... in addition, a historic live album 'Made in Japan' (1972).
Jon Lord played his Hammond organ through a guitar amp, so he his sound was as heavy and powerful as Blackmore's guitar.
Deep Purple carried on until 1976 w/ David Coverdale (vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass & vocals) before disbanding... Jon Lord and his friend Ian Paice eventually joined Whitesnake (David Coverdale's band) until 1984, when Deep Purple reunited w/ Gillan, Blackmore, Lord, Paice and Glover... internal tensions finally lead to Ritchie Blackmore leaving Deep Purple a second time in 1993.
Jon Lord kept going w/ Deep Purple until 2002... he expressed interest in making classical music again, and left the band cordially... Don Airey (keyboards) replaced him... Sadly, Jon Lord passed away from cancer in 2012... (R.I.P. legend) He was honored by Deep Purple, Whitesnake, and even recently by Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) w/ a tribute tour for Jon Lord as 'Concerto for group and orchestra' (which was the Deep Purple concerto project that he organized way back in 1969).
U can watch Jon Lord interviews online... He was such a gentleman and a profoundly articulate in talking about his music and works.
Jon Lord, that was the master....
Thanks for uploading this video. I recommend others as well!
MILLIE,
Purple was another one of those bands from England, that rock your face off and melted your brain.. They along with several other bands liked and used a Hammond Organ. These instruments had/have a distinct sound... Purple was one of the MANY rock bands around as I was growing up. Their biggest song & one you must jam too, is "Smoke on the Water." Darn good tune! Another is "My woman from Tokyo".. You'll LOVE them... And lastly, I want to - must tell you thank you for exploring music in this time period... Take care lovely lady AND stay safe!
I have an answer to your keyboard question. His name is Jon Lord.
Deep Purple are doing some shows now. Several in South America and a few in Europe... Mean time, you rock on lady --- ROCK & ROLL...... I adore your energy!!!!
Some more Purple songs --- Hush, Burn, and Child in Time...... Get down girl!
Marvelous Millie. This was my favorite band when I graduated from High School. Giving away my age.
Applause to legendary vocalist Ian Guillan.
This is the very definition of "dance like nobody's watching" - on a UA-cam channel, no less! Loved it! 😍
Great reaction! --- When I used to play my 8 track tape of this in my 1969 Chevelle SS 396 it could at times be difficult to not press down on the skinny peddle. The song always wanted me to wind it out. It was still the same when driving my 1973 Dodge Challenger 340 after blowing up the engine in my Chevelle. No, I didn't lay off the skinny peddle enough in the Chevelle and wound her out one too many times. The 70's were so much fun in so very many ways!
This song was responsible for many a speeding ticket in my youth.
Beware from the Made In Japan version :-)
It's amazing to see a young person like you get into the acid rock the heavy rock I love your reactions thanks
I watched this reaction last year or even in 2021. One of my favorite songs as I'm a child of the 70's.
My ringtone is "Smoke on the Water". I love Deep Purple!! TRUE ROCK N ROLL!!
Smoke on the water another deep purple song i like
Millie rocking out. Fantastic!
Hi from Ukraine.All Deep Purple's songs are hits.
Agreed hi from American
Hello Ukraine, pleased you like British rock. Love from England
he was the best keyboard player of all time
I'd say a three-way freeway between Lord, Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman.
The keyboard player's name is John Lord, he passed away a few years ago. Deep Purple is One of my Big favorite Bands of all time, and this Album Machine Head released in 1972 is a Masterpiece!! Thank You for reacting this Legend Band.
Jon Douglas Lord RIP
Deep Purple is one of my favorite bands. Was actually able to play drums with Ian Gillan in Hawaii while they were practicing for a concert in Hawaii in the mid 80's.
Masterpiece for all time! Thanks for the reaction!
Great reaction! Wild and Crazy! Even in the 70's girls didn't react like you did hearing the song.
Jon Lord is the keyboardist, and he is elite!
❤ millie. Warms the ❤️ keeping the 70’s alive. Rock on millie. Rock is lagging. Please dive deep and write some rock songs so folks will remember the 2000’s
You certainly reacted to the band, it was fun to watch.
You might be interested to know they wrote this song in a day. They were in an interview when asked how they write a song and they came up with backbone of the song. Went to rehearsal showed the other guys and performed the song live that night!
I like Purple but knew some fanatics. Great reaction!
That's pretty incredible 💜
Deep Purple is right up with the elite of the rock bands.
Haaaaa... that was great ... I love seeing folks react to music from my era, and it's so fun to think back to my first listen as well. We used to jam this album. Actually, I should say 8 track in the car. Keep spreading the music around God bless❤🎉
🎹 awesome reaction to this golden oldie banger 🎸 keep rocking!!
Love seeing you getting caught up in Premier Class classic rock, Millie! That's what makes this video so much fun!
Every Deep Purple song has insane keyboards in it. John Lord is a killer on them !
I am going to be picky. It is actually spelled Jon Lord
Si sei pignolo, ma per il signore questo ed altro ❤@@tomland9293
Congratulations! You have discovered the greatest band in the world, EVER. The best thing is that they are still touring and still making new fabulous music🤩
you are absolutely right, I have seen it this year during the DP live show in Solo Indonesia, it was amazing. DP is the greatest true rock band has ever of the world.
Deep Purple this the classic line-up (is their best) and this album Machine Head are iconic in Rock history. Jon Lord (RIP) is one of my all-time favorites on keys. But two others to check out are Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson.
The early 70's were an epic time for keyboardist's! Almost every top band had a good to great one.
Deep Purple 💜 3 top bands in the world 🌎 RIP Jon Lord 🙏
Obviously this song is epic , because is one of the best song of rock ever
I started playing keyboards around 8 years old, and Jon Lord has always been my favorite ever since. That’s over 50 years ago. ✌🏼😎
Me too
Even more epic... especially if you like those keyboards and guitar solo.... Lazy (preferably from the Machine Head album) It is my favorite DP song of all.
Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Jon Lord, Roger Glover, Ian Paice. Still legends. Also later: David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, & Joe Satriani notable among others.
Jon Lord - not John.
@@Vinterfrid ok. Thanks for the correction.
'72 and 17, I was rockin' to this! Jon Lord really excels on the Hammond. At one time known as the loudest rock band to exist! "Nobody's gonna take your Jon". 🤣
Saw the Machine Head tour at the Rainbow Theatre London in 1972- loudest PA at the time. John Lord- Keyboard genius. Millie- so wild and crazy today. Carefull you do't get too over excited ****.
Masterclass
Legend has it that while travelling on their tour bus a reporter asked them how they go about writing a song. Skipping the long explanation, they wrote Highway Star right there in the bus. Later that night they played it live during their gig. Since you asked, Jon Lord is/was their keyboard player.
Tour bus to Prysmouth when they were asked by the press on the bus how they went about writing a song.
John Lord’s classical training as a pianist from the age of 5 was the foundation which he built on as he progressed and later applied his talent to the organ and electronic keyboard. Bands like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, in which every member is a virtuoso in their own right, and whose success is the product of not only talent but years of perfecting their craft, are a rarity these days. Nowadays the music industry is geared towards instant media-driven success on a plate at the expense of genuine talent and hard work. Which is why we will sadly probably never see the like of these bands again.
We hitchhiked from Austin to San Antonio on 4 way Orange Sunshine to see Deep Purple downtown somewhere in 1972. Insanity at its best. Nights like that were a weekly occurrence in those days. Greatest period in history to be young.
Hell yeah!!! You said it right. Jon Lord's distortion based keyboards are his signature. Richie Blackmore on guitar was one of the original shredders and epic guitarists. Another song similar to this is on the first Blue Oyster Cult album called Stairway to the Stars. I think you'll love it!!! Also listen to Transmaniacon MC the first cut on the album. Another epic song and album.
He is a great keyboard player along with Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer and Rick Wakeman from Yes. Those were the 3 best keyboard players from the 70's.
Loving the energy! Your reactions are a lot of fun, Millie!
"Perfect Strangers" is a another banger from this line up at this Band.
One of my all-time favorite songs. Loved your reaction.
I played in bands my whole life and I can tell that you would be fun to do that with. I love how you totally get into it and notice all of it. This is a totally different kind of music, but it was popular around the same time on the radio, and I love this whole album Machine Head that I like all kinds of music. For some reason watching you bounced around, I think you would really get off on how funky and I don't know just how incredibly cool this early Stevie Wonder song is, it's kind of different than all his rest and he's almost affecting his voice like he's slurring his words like he's drunk or something. It's just so perfect a sound. Here is a link to the album cut which is identical to the radio cut only the radio cut chops out the last maybe 30 or 40 seconds at least where he does this amazing jamming on the slow fade. It's so important to the song. And I did hear it this way on the radio some but I also heard the shorter version a lot. So this link is to the full studio cut.

I saw them twice last summer. They opened with this both times! Crowd goes wild!
Love Millie's reactions. Have just subscribed
Great reaction, crazy to think this song is over 50 years old and still rules!
Love this song and your reaction to it. Every band member kills it in this epic masterpiece. Heck yeah🤘
Jon Lord was heart of Deep Purple... Founder of the band. He was in every line-up until he wasn't able to play.
By a lot of people this song is considered to be first heavy metal song (even that than heavy metal wasn't the thing). And Machine Head is probably one of albums that mostly influenced this genre.
One possible way of hearing this song is the cover in The Expanse S03E07 (in Belter language, but the music is pretty copy of the original).
The band who made me play guitar 🎸
R.I.P. Jon Lord on keyboards.
Millie you are quickly becoming my favorite reactor. Nobody does it like you.😂🎉
Can't count how many miles I've put in with this song playing!
How many tickets is the question with those miles.
@@RobertBreedon-c3b LOL 😆!
Thanks for reacting so honestly🤘❤️ i prob went into space when this first came out 😂😂 fav until you hear the keyboards from emerson lake and palmer
Millie - You're epic! Your reaction was as sincere and spontaneous as one could appreciate. You did my heart wonders watching the joy and appreciation you expressed to one of all-time great rock tunes by one of the greatest rock bands in history. Thanks for giving me a laugh and smile.
God Bless Millie - and now try Space Truckin' from the same album ...
Did you hear the album "live in Japan" yet? Best live preformans of Deep Purple, Space trucking ...Jhon Lord you"ll love it
Machine Head is one of THE milestones of rock music absolutely no doubt.
For keys,try from the same album,Lazy.
Superb Jon Lord..
There isn't one bad track in Deep Purple's 1972 album 'Machine head'... from "Highway star" to "Space truckin' " ... Stellar 🎇heavy rock album. And also the live album "Made in Japan" recorded in Japan on the 'Machine head' tour 1972... it is a live album w/ no overdubs in the studio and cost only $3000 to record (Queen's 1975 album 'A night at the Opera' cost 40K Pounds).
They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as "the globe's loudest band" for a 1972 concert at London's
Get down young lady!! Now that's the kind of reaction I expect from listening to this song!!!
This song is just 🔥 I never get tired of it. Great Reaction
Just when I thought you couldn't outdo your other reactions---- you did!
Thanks 💜
This girl needs some Skynyrd in her life
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 My favorite song by them and version. I am amazed you have not done this one b4.
Gracias Millie preciosa, por apreciar el verdadero talento, puro y nato!!
I like deep purple in sperts. and this is My favorite deep purple song no doubt
THAT, my friends, is what pure joy looks like!
Awesome react to an awesome tune!
You make reacts fun!! 😊
I used to LOVE playing this song on ROCK BAND... lol
I used to listen to Highway Star in 1974 when I was one year old. headbanging in the stroller. Today? The same but without the stroller.🤟🤟
Hello M s. Millie, I'm glad that you were able to hear this song. Here is a video of a busking trio covering this song. I think they do an impressive job: UA-cam video: Street artists: Highway star (Deep Purple cover)
I love this ICONIC SONG
Guitarist Richie Blackmore. One of Eddie Van Halen's guitar heroes. ...that says it all.
There's no better song to crank up while cruising down the highway.
Your reactions are epic!! Yeahh
The story behind this song is interesting as well it was written in about 15 minutes on the tour bus on their way to the next show and performed that night. This song is incredibly dangerous to listen to in the car as it can result in many speeding tickets.
How fortunate to be young during the late 2020s and early 2030s and to be able to hear about the great things of the past and to be able to die a little later. I wouldn't trade it for being sixty today if I could.
Девушка!!!!!!! Вы прелесть! Как Вы... Искренны... Как Вы ощущаете ДРАЙВ этого ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЯ!!!... Девочка! (Мне можно так к Вам обратиться, чисто по дедовски, мне, почти, 66 годочков)... Девочка! Спасибо Вам, за Ваш унисон с моей молодостью! Счастья огромного, Вам!!!
Another Best on keyboard is Keith Emerson with his Band Emerson, Lake and Palmer. And another excellent gitar player you have to listen to is Jeff Beck.
Лучше Соло, вне Времени,на все Жизнь!!!
John Lord, the best keyboardist in rock history.
That whole group was a Killing Machine. Check out Deep Purple - Mandrake Root (Live, London, 1970.7.28 South Bank Queen Elizabeth Hall UK). That is one awesome song. You will not suffer from disappointment.
growing up with this music was the best!!!!!!
Ritchie Blackmore was a guitar monster
Millie siempre es alegre y muy hermosa cuando sonríe... ok, a continuación, responde a la canción de Deep Purpe titulada Mistreated
Shreding!!!!
Awe ! I wish you would have done the live version from the Made in Japan album !
Made in Japan is in my opinion the best live Album ever recorded
Absolutely!
@@UweChardon That and The Song Remains the Same by Zeppelin.
John Lord was...rest his glorious soul...was one of the three greatest keyboardist in rock history! The other two, of course, being Keith Emerson (also gone) of "ELP"/Emerson, Lake, and Palmer...and Rick Wakeman of "YES"! Each different in style, and all three classically and jazz trained before getting into Rock and Roll! You MUST try them as well! Will blow your MIND!
You simply must do the BBC live version of Child in Time. Jon Lord at his very best on his cut down Hammond P3 organ. The notes hit by Ian Gillan are out of this world. Add in Ian Paice on drums, Roger Glover on bass guitar and the legend himself, Ritchie Blackmore on lead guitar. It is from their 1970 album Deep Purple in Rock.
Grande Millie e grandi Deep Purple
What a song this is but dangerous. Back in 1987 I was a newly qualified driver having past ny driving test about 9 months earlier, I was driving my very first car a mini with this song blasting out my tape deck.As you can imagine I had spent a large amount of money on my car audio system and probably doubled the actual value of y second had first ever car, but this song was to change everything. As the song played my driving got faster and then suddenly I took a sharpish right hand bend on a small country road somewhere between Banbury and Bicester hit a patch of ice ( it was early December 1987) and the car skidded off the road hit a drainage ditch and gently flipped upside down landing on its side in a hedgerow.
I was fortunately only shaken not injured and managed to scramble out the car and stand on the roadside thanking my lucky stars and all I could hear was Highway Star still blasting their tune and Ian Gillians vocals coming from my now damaged car and their still very noisy heavy loud speakers. At the time I was feeling lucky but very stupid and annoyed with myself but now I just look back at it with a wry smile and the feeling of nostalgia about my mini that was now uneconomical to repair.Its a song that has instant memories for me now whenever I hear it. The car was scrapped but I did at least rescue my Machine Head cassette tape, my car stereo system and my expensive speakers.
What a great song and a great !!! tune to drive to ( be careful)
