R.i.p. Jon Lord, the king of the organ. You are missed, but your music lives on. I was lucky enough to see Deep Purple in concert. It was great to see live.
Made In Japan is the GOAT live album. Technique has gotten so insane for guitarists these days that it seems they've forgotten how to have a unique style. What I mean by that is there are incredible players out there that could shred anyone but they all sound the same. Back in the day guitarists like Blackmore, Iommi, Page, Beck, McLaughlin, Santana, Hendrix,.... They all had unique individual styles that could be recognized right away after a note or two. These days these UA-cam elite shredders for example pretty much sound all the same imo.
50 something years of listening to this and it never gets old.Made in Japan the best versions of those respective songs.Paice and glover what a rhythm section!
Notice how Jon Lord drops out for a full minute 6:45 to 7:45 good musicians know how important silence is (and its also good for a beer break or a pee break...artistic AND practical!)
Hi Nick, Hi Alexia..Thank you so much for reacting to Child in Time from Made in Japan. I was 13 in 1970 when the In Rock album was released...and I was blown away by all the tracks ...but this track topped the lot. The guitar solo by Ritchie on the studio version was brilliant...but when I heard this version in 1972. my ears literally fell off 😂 ... absolutely stunning. What a song, what a message., what a band . I was fortunate to be in my teens when I heard all this great music from many brilliant bands . I have so many favourites...Cream. Led Zeppelin, Sabbath. Uriah Heep. King Crimson. Yes . Genesis...to name a few but Deep Purple...is right at the top table. Looking forward to your next reaction. Take care, stay safe. Peace and love from Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️
Best vocal performance ever imo. Nobody can sing the way Ian Gillian did back then. He's always been my favorite vocalist & Ritchie Blackmore is my favorite guitarist. The rest of the band are all in top ten at their given instruments. It's also my favorite album by Deep Purple. As you said Nick, a masterpiece. You can see them performing this, not the Made In Japan version but another live performance from 1970 I think it is. I've seen a lot of reactors do this video & never even heard of the song & are just blown away by it. I loved it guys
You are absolutely correct about seeing these people in the 70's, and I imagine even more so, the handfull of players around the time Clapton, Beck and Hendrix were getting started in the 60's. I played in a local band, and the solo to Since I've Been Loving You was just so challening to us, let alone this Child in Time solo. But.......there was one guy at the school who was so talented that he could play those solos, he knew by ear after one or two listens how to play them, and had the technique to do so. As you mentioned with respect to UA-cam players, he could play them, but not write those iconic parts. In the end, despite prodigous ability, he did not get into any successful band, he became a music teacher. The first guitar hero I saw live was Rory Gallagher, at a small venue. He set the standard for me, it was absolutely tremendous. Van Halen was technically better. But I am not interested in what he has to say with the guitar. Rory has much more genuine heart in his playing. So does Gary Moore for that matter. Perhaps, today, Unfortunately, never got to see Purple or Rainbow.
Mi dispiace che non sei mai riuscito a vederli... fortunatamente si sono riuniti e nell 85 e 87 ho visto la mitica mark ll....band unica, nessuno come loro, nonostante non fossero così sugli scudi come nel 72. Richtie era semplicemente magnetico.
Love Deep Purple. Started listening when "In rock" came out. Back in 1969 this concert came on TV one night and it blew my mind. Back then it was so amazing when rock groups started using philharmonic orchestras like Procol Harum for example. This was a beauty and still is- Deep Purple and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in Royal Albert Hall, London. It`s a pearl - don`t miss it.
I'm not convinced about the argument that there are thousands of guitarists around today who could play what Blackmore was playing in 1972, if they were given the same technology Blackmore was using here, with a Srat using very little distortion or sustain, and only a treble-booster on his signal chain into nearly 300 watts of amplification. I think you would find out very quickly who could really play cleanly, or not. And even if it's possible to replicate it now, it's surely a lot harder to improvise something like that at that tempo with all the changes in phrasing Blackmore includes.
100 % agree. I think that people saying those things are only talking about the actual playing and disregarding everything about the equipment being used. I think you're spot on.
and let's not forget that the difference between copying or imitating what somebody does versus coming up with it on the spot live. I mean, I guess many guitarist today could replicate what Blackmore does here but could they come up with it on the spot? Maybe, maybe not?
As someone whose first album was Fireball and then I bought In Rock, Made in Japan is probably the best live album ever made. Am I biased, yup, but I love it. Everyone is on fire. I'm one of those who was never keen on Ritchie (even though I saw him in Rainbow) but he powers through this. But every other member of the band is brilliant: Jon Lord on his Hammond, Ian Paice's drums are so on point together with Roger's bass. Then Ian Gillan's vocals soar over the top. He (Gillan) and Roger Glover usually wrote the lyrics for all Deep Purple MkII even though the songs were credited to all the band.
Hi guys, I was still at school when this came out and I remember buying it and getting home to play for the first time. It was the first live rock album I ever heard and it was stunning. I played both vinyl records in one sitting. I must have been high for weeks. It was on the small Dansette record player we had, that everyone in our house used . It wasn't in stereo. When I did get a stereo I was blown away ..again ! by this incredible album. Then getting my proper hi-fi system with huge speakers 2 & 1/2 foot tall ...and this is still the 70's. I was in Heaven. The sound quality ...and ....a headphone socket !!! Woohoo I got my first headphones and Made in Japan took on another level. This live album still packs a punch today. It is so tight with every musician at the top of their game. I still have the vinyl and later I bought the cd ...and then the remastered cd with extra tracks [ The black cover instead of gold ] Ian Gillan's vocals and those screams are amazing. When I listened to "Strange Kind of Woman" on the small record player, ...in mono... I could not tell the difference between Gillan's voice and Blackmore's guitar. In the 70's it was never Designer clothes that got you noticed...it was what album you carried under your arm on your way to friends houses....This was like a beacon ! Strangers saying hi and oh wow Made in Japan !!! .... The last time I got that noticed was when I was carrying, T.Rex "The Slider" ...That was 'the' album to own !!! .....Now today it's a case of showing the top part of Calvin Klein underwear with jeans halfway down your behind ! Oh how times have changed. Lol Byee Jim X
This MK II version of Deep Purple was incredible and they are still influencing bands today. The drummer of Band-Maid, Akane Hirose, credits Deep Purple's drummer, Ian Paice, as one of her main influences and the band as one of her favorites. The organ that Jon Lord is playing is a Hammond. The B3 and C3 models were a staple of hard rock bands from that era and the Hammond sound is still used today but usually in a synthesized form rather than having to pack around a heavy Hammond and keep all of the glass vacuum tubes, complex components, moving parts, and wiring in working order. There is no reason that you have to imagine seeing this. You should check out the live video of this song from 1972. There is another version from 1970 that is also good.
Many a weekend back in 70-71 my friends and I would venture from Long Island to Greenwood Lake NY about a 2 hour drive to a club called Mother's. Either going or coming we always played the Deep Purple in Rock 8 track. Great album and Child in Time an all time favorite. I finally got to see them in Bridgeport CT in1972. Ian Gillan has to be one of the great vocalists in rock history. I would like to suggest that you listen to another great and underappreciated band in this same time frame. Uriah Heep, a band I saw twice that year. A lot of similarities between the two. I guarantee David Byron's vocals will impress you especially on two songs (July Morning & Salisbury).
I'm sure everyday some 14 year olds are totally amazed by this album and play it at full volume on their headphones like I did in the early 80s. BTW: Did you notice, how awesome this more than 50 year old album sounds? It could have been recorded yesterday.
Hola! Recuerdo tener 12 ó 13 años y tomar prestado éste álbum de mis hermanos mayores y escucharlo (con auriculares, como correponde) más de una vez antes ir a la escuela. Hoy a mis hermanos no los tengo físicamente, pero me dejaron la pasión por disfrutar de la buena música. Aguante la música, aguante Deep Purple.
Very interesting to hear your thoughts about the perception of this kind of music back in 72- you were SPOT ON: I was 12 and bored with the soft pop on the singles chart and I asked some of my cooler friends cause it seemed they listened to a different newer kind of music. “Try the album charts” was the answer. So I randomly picked two titles: Paranoid with Black Sabbath and Made in Japan by Deep Purple. Without any prelistening I put them on my xmas wish list. Got them both aaaand- as you so rightfully imagine “Got blown away!!!” I just couldnt believe what I was hearing. This was something never heard before. Made in Japan was played constantly for months. And to this day remains the album I still listen to on a regular basis. And I still get mesmerized-every time! What a classic 🫠
When I was in HS in the mid-70's, this album Deep Purple Made in Japan was one of the best to have come out of that era. Highway Star, Smoke on the Water, Crazy... all amazing. Queen, Deep Purple, Kiss and others...all iconic bands from that time.
YES! YES! YES! As an oldie who tends to not stray away to other sites (so as not to get confused too much) I thought this wasn't going to happen - but thank you so much for taking the time to listen to and share your 3rd version! Bought this "vinyl" the day it came out! Recorded it onto cassette for the car, then recorded another one several months later - for obvious reasons! Having lived through the music of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, etc, those early 70s were the absolute pinnacle for music - and such wonderful times too. I really feel blessed and so lucky with having experienced all of this, just hope similar times reappear soon for the next generations! Fantastic reaction and amazed to see Lex leading the way! Can see your relationships getting stronger each time! Waiting in anticipation for those Rainbow live tracks to really "finish the deal"! Keep 'em coming!
Gillan is quoted as saying that the song was created "using the Cold War as the theme", adding "the words came easily because we were all aware of the nuclear threat looming over us at what was probably the height of the Cold War." Interesting point about what it was like listening to this in context at the time. Yes, our minds were blown, they still are. Modern guitarists have basically techniqued all the life out of what they do. It can leave you a bit cold.
No one else reacts to MIJ. That is the peak, the BBC concert has great footage but they were still rocketing skyward. Richie was still using his Gibbo there and Paice was not yet on his beautiful white Ludwig.
There were multiple wars in the US, most notably the War of 1812, in which the British captured Washing DC abd burned the White House and Capitol Buildings. The War of 1812 was fought by the United States and its allies against the United Kingdom and its allies in North America. It began when the United States declared war on Britain on 18 June 1812. Although peace terms were agreed upon in the December 1814 Treaty of Ghent, the war did not officially end until the peace treaty was ratified by the United States Congress on 17 February 1815.
Awesome react to an awesome tune! Live 1972 Highway Star is well worth the listen And 1970 Hard Lovin Man And maybe check out the 1970 live version of Child In Time 🤯
"If you're only about 4 foot six, don't worry about it. There's always somebody smaller than you". I heard that at the end of this song in 1973 and it has stayed with me to this day.
Technically, there are still not many, if any, who could do the range that Blackmore did on the main solo, especially given the technology and, let's remember, despite being mostly jammed, not a lost note.
Hola Chicos, les escribo desde Argentina, cuando tenia 12 años, allá lejos y hace tiempo, un día llego del colegio y mi papa estaba escuchando mi disco, y me mira y me dice "escucha como toca el baterista", desde ese día empecé a tocar la batería hasta hoy y es un disco muy importante para mi. Abrazo desde la tierra de Gustavo Cerati!!! y gracias!!!!!
Yes, It was a battle with my parents! Absolutely as you say - regarding the age difference. My parents were very good, but when it came to music they had problems coming to terms with the Beatles and the Stones! Let alone the more noisy and outrageous later bands. They were into Bing Crosby, Sinatra, and some god awful cheesy orchistrated music. Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdink, Shirley Bassey, were viewed as ok modern entertainment. The main pop music program was Top of the Pops, so I did get to watch it, but they complained frequently, about who was on - what they looked and sounded like. The band that really got them was Jethro Tull, with the mad act of Ian Anderson. Fortunately, the best music program - The Old Grey Whistle Test, which had a lot of the more album oriented bands on it, was on later when they had gone to bed, and I could watch it in peace. One of the few rock songs of the 70's they got onboard with was Bohemian Rhapsody. I had a tape recorder, and a record player, both had speakers, no headphones, I had an after school job, so had money to buy records, so they were treated to a lot of the finest rock if they came near my room!
2:08 NicknLex, great video. Led Zep never did a live album anywhere near to this standard. Deep Purple were massively underrated and Ritchie Blackmore was a guitar genius. Have you reviewed the Burn album or Rainbow's On Stage live album.
By the way, this song is - erm - “heavily influenced” by a song called “Bombay Calling” by the band “It’s a Beautiful Day” (ua-cam.com/video/UyeTxuXmrWU/v-deo.html).
You’re only about 4 foot six don’t worry about it. There’s always somebody smaller than you. That’s what Gillan was saying after the second verse.. also the middle jam session is supposed to represent the chaotic nature of War.
Hay una versión de 1970 en un programa de televisión que para mí es la mejor...no tiene madre!!! ojalá y puedan reaccionar a esa versión, saludos desde GDL 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
DATA IMPORTANTE. A propósito de Deep Purple en la Argentina se los escuchaba en los boliches bailables, o boites, mucho antes que se editaran los discos comerciales. Los dueños o los disc jockeys viajaban a Inglaterra para traer los nuevos temas musicales de Londres. Es así que por ejemplo Smoke on the water fue muy popular casi dos años antes que las compañías disqueras lo editaran en América. Los boliches más famosos de la región del Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires, Rosario, La Plata y sus zonas conurbanas competian en quién traía de Inglaterra la música más elaborada del mundo rockanrolero. Esto era en los años 69..., 72, etc. De ahí que se afinaban los oídos y si un grupo de rock local no sonaba como los monstruos de la movida mundial no eran aceptados por el público. Obvio que los grupos que fueron seguidos de manera constante por un público fanático del rock, lo era porque sonaban igual o mejor a la vez que originales y no simple copia de las bandas europeas y americanas.
I can' t believe! I really can' t believe! Finally someone who react to child in time from Made in Japan?? And not from that awful love 70?? Uh? Are you serious? Can' t believe my eyes. Please wake up, if i' m dreaming. Having said this, I just want to tell you that you are great!!! and give you a big applause.
You apparently belong to the b&w human species, everything has to be classified; are you American? What does better mean? Go to the archives; For you, N&L seems to have to choose the studio version every other year. DP was primarily a live band that broke up because of egos. Gillian is still on the move; great respect for his performance.
This song came from the group A Beautiful Day the song Bombay Callin listen you will both groups exchange music picked up added lyrics and expanded the music
Nobody can paint another Mona Lisa- nobody can compose another 9th -there is no second KInd of Blue. So I honestly can not understand your whole talk about other guitarists. Blackmore was blessed that Night and nobody will or can play another solo like this, becaus it is not shredding. He takes you on a journey. Each line has a melody, is played impeccably . LIVE ON THE SPOT. There are many recordings of him playing CIT, but he never played it the same way. Aou failed to recognize that and started rubbish talk about younger guiter players which is completely beside the point.
I know a guitarist who can play stuff like this (albeit more recent because he is much younger than me) all day long but he could never invent it, he cannot innovate much around. Like most great bands even now, the live performances are often different on each occasion. No idea how much of Deep Purple music was written down, and how often they played to a score. Watching Jon Lord play live there seem to be way too many notes to ever have been written down. All those internet 10 year olds playing note perfect copies of some work of genius and crushing the soul out of it. It ain't art.
R.i.p. Jon Lord, the king of the organ. You are missed, but your music lives on. I was lucky enough to see Deep Purple in concert. It was great to see live.
"Made in Japan" is the best damn live album in music history!! 🎸🎹🥁🎤 Thank You
One of the best live albums ever. Recorded on an 8-track with no overdubs. The concert atmosphere is amazing.
Made In Japan is the GOAT live album. Technique has gotten so insane for guitarists these days that it seems they've forgotten how to have a unique style. What I mean by that is there are incredible players out there that could shred anyone but they all sound the same. Back in the day guitarists like Blackmore, Iommi, Page, Beck, McLaughlin, Santana, Hendrix,.... They all had unique individual styles that could be recognized right away after a note or two. These days these UA-cam elite shredders for example pretty much sound all the same imo.
SI SEÑOR ASÍ ES 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Two words: Ian Paice
Made in Japan almost never came off my turntable for two or three years back in the mid seventies. This music was my drug, it blew me away.
Pretty much the same for me as well, im on my 3rd album wore the first 2 out, plus the cd, plus the deluxe edition of the 3cd set
50 something years of listening to this and it never gets old.Made in Japan the best versions of those respective songs.Paice and glover what a rhythm section!
MIJ Greatest live album ever. No overdubs, no click rubbish, just 5 young humans creating!
Notice how Jon Lord drops out for a full minute 6:45 to 7:45 good musicians know how important silence is (and its also good for a beer break or a pee break...artistic AND practical!)
Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple the holy triad of rock music🤘
Saw DP last week. Gillan doesn't scream much anymore, but they still ROCK. See them if you haven't yet!
One of the greatest live guitar solos ever.
Hi Nick, Hi Alexia..Thank you so much for reacting to Child in Time from Made in Japan.
I was 13 in 1970 when the In Rock album was released...and I was blown away by all the tracks ...but this track topped the lot. The guitar solo by Ritchie on the studio version was brilliant...but when I heard this version in 1972. my ears literally fell off 😂 ... absolutely stunning.

Peace and love from Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️
No one destroys a Fender Stratocaster like Ritchie! Warwick, England 🏴.
Just love that Made in Japan album. Timeless.
Gillan is god like on this album, they all are.
Best vocal performance ever imo. Nobody can sing the way Ian Gillian did back then. He's always been my favorite vocalist & Ritchie Blackmore is my favorite guitarist.
The rest of the band are all in top ten at their given instruments.
It's also my favorite album by Deep Purple.

You can see them performing this, not the Made In Japan version but another live performance from 1970 I think it is. I've seen a lot of reactors do this video & never even heard of the song & are just blown away by it.

“ Strange Kind Of Woman “ from this album is also quite incredible.

Blackmore was insane in the early 70's. Seen Purple 2 times and Rainbow 2 times.
Ritchie blackmore the goat!!!🔥🔥❤
@@ejohnson3837 Deep Purple 3 times, Rainbow 2 times and Blackmore's Night once, but not in the 1970's.

There is no reason that you have to imagine seeing this. You should check out the live video of this song from 1972. There is another version from 1970 that is also good.
Spot on regarding Blackmore and modern guitarists. Sure lots of technically great guitarists about but they have no soul. Check out Lazy on same LP
Many a weekend back in 70-71 my friends and I would venture from Long Island to Greenwood Lake NY about a 2 hour drive to a club called Mother's.

This beautiful and powerfull song was writing on a historic context of Vietnam War.
Wrong war. Try the cold war
Yes, music those days were very much appreciated...
When I was in HS in the mid-70's, this album Deep Purple Made in Japan was one of the best to have come out of that era. Highway Star, Smoke on the Water, Crazy... all amazing. Queen, Deep Purple, Kiss and others...all iconic bands from that time.
YES! YES! YES!

Live 1972 Highway Star is well worth the listen
And 1970 Hard Lovin Man
And maybe check out the 1970 live version of Child In Time 🤯
This is a great version.
PIENSEN UM POÇO MADE IN JAPAN FUE EN 1972 SIN LOS RECURSOS TECNOLÓGICOS DE HOY AMO DEEP PURPLE Y MIJ ES EL MEJOR LIVE DE LA HISTORIA 💜💜🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Those days back in 70s my dad says the music I listen is the same as the printing machine factory noise😅
"If you're only about 4 foot six, don't worry about it. There's always somebody smaller than you". I heard that at the end of this song in 1973 and it has stayed with me to this day.
Technically, there are still not many, if any, who could do the range that Blackmore did on the main solo, especially given the technology and, let's remember, despite being mostly jammed, not a lost note.
Nice to see the reaction separate from the Patreon album. Always worth a 2nd take. Dig it❤️❤️
Hola Chicos, les escribo desde Argentina, cuando tenia 12 años, allá lejos y hace tiempo, un día llego del colegio y mi papa estaba escuchando mi disco, y me mira y me dice "escucha como toca el baterista", desde ese día empecé a tocar la batería hasta hoy y es un disco muy importante para mi. Abrazo desde la tierra de Gustavo Cerati!!! y gracias!!!!!
It doesn’t get any better than this! Rock at its very best! 🤘
Yes, It was a battle with my parents! Absolutely as you say - regarding the age difference. My parents were very good, but when it came to music they had problems coming to terms with the Beatles and the Stones! Let alone the more noisy and outrageous later bands. They were into Bing Crosby, Sinatra, and some god awful cheesy orchistrated music. Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdink, Shirley Bassey, were viewed as ok modern entertainment. The main pop music program was Top of the Pops, so I did get to watch it, but they complained frequently, about who was on - what they looked and sounded like. The band that really got them was Jethro Tull, with the mad act of Ian Anderson. Fortunately, the best music program - The Old Grey Whistle Test, which had a lot of the more album oriented bands on it, was on later when they had gone to bed, and I could watch it in peace. One of the few rock songs of the 70's they got onboard with was Bohemian Rhapsody. I had a tape recorder, and a record player, both had speakers, no headphones, I had an after school job, so had money to buy records, so they were treated to a lot of the finest rock if they came near my room!
There is also a live studio concert video of this and their song 'Lazy' wellworth catching also.
2:08 NicknLex, great video. Led Zep never did a live album anywhere near to this standard. Deep Purple were massively underrated and Ritchie Blackmore was a guitar genius. Have you reviewed the Burn album or Rainbow's On Stage live album.
By the way, this song is - erm - “heavily influenced” by a song called “Bombay Calling” by the band “It’s a Beautiful Day” (ua-cam.com/video/UyeTxuXmrWU/v-deo.html).
Brilliant live track guys cheers
My parents were born in 1917 and 1919 and I played this in my bedroom in the 60s/70s. Yes, they wondered what they had produced!
You’re only about 4 foot six don’t worry about it. There’s always somebody smaller than you. That’s what Gillan was saying after the second verse.. also the middle jam session is supposed to represent the chaotic nature of War.
Para mí es el mejor tema de deep pourple.
Hay una versión de 1970 en un programa de televisión que para mí es la mejor...no tiene madre!!! ojalá y puedan reaccionar a esa versión, saludos desde GDL 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ritchie Blackmore !!
Géant 🎤🎤🎸🎸🎸🎸💥💥💥👏👏👏👏
DATA IMPORTANTE.
A propósito de Deep Purple en la Argentina se los escuchaba en los boliches bailables, o boites, mucho antes que se editaran los discos comerciales. Los dueños o los disc jockeys viajaban a Inglaterra para traer los nuevos temas musicales de Londres. Es así que por ejemplo Smoke on the water fue muy popular casi dos años antes que las compañías disqueras lo editaran en América.
Los boliches más famosos de la región del Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires, Rosario, La Plata y sus zonas conurbanas competian en quién traía de Inglaterra la música más elaborada del mundo rockanrolero. Esto era en los años 69..., 72, etc. De ahí que se afinaban los oídos y si un grupo de rock local no sonaba como los monstruos de la movida mundial no eran aceptados por el público. Obvio que los grupos que fueron seguidos de manera constante por un público fanático del rock, lo era porque sonaban igual o mejor a la vez que originales y no simple copia de las bandas europeas y americanas.
A great live album, but for Sweet Child In Time you cant beat the live video from the BBC studios in 1970......or might be 1971.
This song was written in the time of the Vietnam War. That conflict and the political division it sowed was the topic of many rock songs back then.
It's about the Cold War
6:26 Stop the stop is a new frontier! 😄Love you guys! 😍😍😍
Can you imagine how sore and tight this guy's vocal chords were after each 3 hr or so live concert ?...... LOL
super genial👍👍
Ian Paice on the drums ,Yeah !!!
Gillan, una bestia
BBC live version from 1970 is imo much better. It's played live but sound and precision looks like studio
Always loved deep purple since 1968 when I had a record called Hush at age 10
I can' t believe! I really can' t believe! Finally someone who react to child in time from Made in Japan?? And not from that awful love 70?? Uh? Are you serious? Can' t believe my eyes. Please wake up, if i' m dreaming. Having said this, I just want to tell you that you are great!!! and give you a big applause.
L assolo di Richtie è sbalorditivo, è un po' che non me lo mangiavo, tutto il resto ( dei chitarristi) è noia💜
You apparently belong to the b&w human species, everything has to be classified; are you American? What does better mean? Go to the archives; For you, N&L seems to have to choose the studio version every other year.
DP was primarily a live band that broke up because of egos. Gillian is still on the move; great respect for his performance.
It’s about the Vietnam war I think.
It's about vietnan war
Not Vietnam specifically but the Cold War in general
Erster! Ich wünsche euch allen einen wunderschönen Abend. 😉👍
This song came from the group A Beautiful Day the song Bombay Callin listen you will both groups exchange music picked up added lyrics and expanded the music
Nobody can paint another Mona Lisa- nobody can compose another 9th -there is no second KInd of Blue. So I honestly can not understand your whole talk about other guitarists. Blackmore was blessed that Night and nobody will or can play another solo like this, becaus it is not shredding. He takes you on a journey. Each line has a melody, is played impeccably . LIVE ON THE SPOT. There are many recordings of him playing CIT, but he never played it the same way. Aou failed to recognize that and started rubbish talk about younger guiter players which is completely beside the point.
I know a guitarist who can play stuff like this (albeit more recent because he is much younger than me) all day long but he could never invent it, he cannot innovate much around. Like most great bands even now, the live performances are often different on each occasion. No idea how much of Deep Purple music was written down, and how often they played to a score. Watching Jon Lord play live there seem to be way too many notes to ever have been written down. All those internet 10 year olds playing note perfect copies of some work of genius and crushing the soul out of it. It ain't art.
👍🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷💪
You have watched the live and studio versions but still not the best live version of this song lol
Vietnam
Studio version is still better. Just saying.✌️❤
Nope, much better live, stellar performance from the whole band. DP were always better live, a sign of truly great musicians. My opinion....🙂🙂
