They never played a live song the same way twice. Every single time they performed, they would change up the solos. They were, and are, just so good at riffing off each other. You could attend the same concert for two or three days and each show would be a brand new experience.
Ritchie Blackmore's solo is amazing. It starts insignificantly with blues and jazz and when he realizes that you have his attention, he pulls you spectacularly under his spell. Then everyone thinks he's done, but he's about to start the next trip. That is the highest art of improvisation!
This song and Black Sabbath's War Pigs are the two greatest anti war songs of the time. To me this was the best line up. V 2 Ritchie Blackmore is a guitar god. Went on to form Rainbow
By the way, this is the Made In Japan recording dubbed onto this show. I'd bet my life on it, which is strange because the real footage and sound is pretty good (although not equal to MIJ).
Deep Purple were decads ahead in time, the greatest symbiosis between musicians. Nowadays only Dream Theater make me feel the same. If you like "Roller Coster", you can listen "Dance of Eternity" from Dream Theater, one of the greatest musicians perfomance. Enjoy
This song was written and recorded in 1969..originally off their great in rock album.. you nailed it this song is about the Vietnam war and the cold war starting at the time.
They were part of what was called the Unholy Trinity of rock. Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin being the others...Early 70's. Hard to believe I "reacted " to these 3 bands 50 years ago in college. I believe this was a cover song (way better than the original).
@@JimJamFam I don't know what Gillan said about his lyrics, but this was also in the Nixon era of the Vietnam war, so I'm guessing that might also have been his mind.
Clever edit by guy who did visuals Part from german live studio,part proper live gig Studio was original in colour,so this was done balck and white to go Audio from latter gig
It’s totally about the cold war. As great as this is I prefer the studio version from In Rock. Singing is more operatic and the chaos is more controlled 😀

That's pretty dope! Keeps them fresh.
@@JimJamFam Yep. Can you imagine coming with a new way to play a song that you've played consistently for 50 years? Incredible, really....
Their live shows are just like a long jam session.
You got it; the imminent of a Nuclear War era, and the agony of realization (screams) when the warheads start flying.

Some of the footage is from the Made in Japan tour but not the same night mixed in with Denmark footage
And the Granada TV Doing Their Thing performance

I really enjoyed this song and the meaning.
Best Live Guitarsolo Ever.
They're excellent.
Great see reactions from the young folks to what we've known for decades about Deep Purple.

You are the first person I've ever heard get the meaning right. It is about the cold war. 😁👍
Yeah, that kind of just jumped out to me. I really liked it.

My knowledge of purple comes from pieces of this and that
Not always bang on!
As well as the aformentioned clips there are a few snippets from the 72 Japan tour but from the 3rd night.
I think this song is awesome. Yes it was an anti war song.
The piece was written as an anti-Vietnam War song.
