I was 17 years old when I seen this band wasn't that familiar with them when they played this song I couldn't believe what I just witnessed saw and heard it blew me away and it still amazes me today in 2024
Being one of the old timers and living through the 60's music up till now, i have to agree with you . We kicked your butt's. Word's can't describe how it was back then. I think we took it for granted how good we had it. The reaction channels makes it clear to us old rockers that the new generation has been deprived because of technology. But at the same time have it better if that makes any sense? I just can't believe i'm still alive to tell the truth. By all standards i should have been dead a long time ago. I'm ready to break on through to the other side. I miss my friends and look forward to the day we hook up again.
@@captainmoretokin2172 ♥️🥰♥️you have plenty of time for the other side! Try to see the bright side and realize we did get to live it, and can still listen!! These young people have NO idea that some of their garbage music couldn't stand in the same room with the '60's and '70's, I miss a lot of my old friends who didn't make it too!! They'll all be waiting for us! What a jam session it will be!💕🎶💕
They’re no hippie band. This what you call Rock, kids, classic rock at that. Born in the mid-50’s and my generation grew up to this stuff. So many top tier legendary rock bands during this era. This is baby boomer music. 🤷♂️
@@motrock93b Ritchie explained in an interview that inspiration came from a classical piece of art, and the riff is the classical phrase fragment played backward from end to beginning. I think it is from Beethoven' s 5th, but I'm not sure. Anybody able to verify?
70 years old 2024 got my 10-year-old granddaughter and 4 year old granddaughter to watch this and we practice the screaming he does it makes for a great time
Deep Purple are one of the most most famous rock bands of all time and it's former members created other very famous iconic rock bands like Rainbow and Whitesnake -- incredible musicians.
The thing about Deep Purple at that time was that they had Ritchie Blackmore, one of the acknowledged best Rock guitarists of all time, Jon Lord, a classically trained pianist who made the Hammond Organ into a classic rock instrument, Ian Paice, one of the best, but most underrated drummers, all trying to play each other off the stage AND THEN Ian Gillan started singing and took the whole thing up a notch or two. Sadly, this lineup didn't last long enough, and Deep Purple has become a revolving door of singers and guitarists. They never reached these heights again, but have left us with some amazing songs (and the reputation of being Guinness World Record Holders as The World's Loudest Band!).
An epic masterpiece of pure rockmusic by 5 phantastic musicians. Sorry guys, but today there's no music like this. I'm grateful to have experienced this times and this music. Have seen them for several times - always great shows of pure rockmusic. RiPJon.
There would have been no Guns n Rose's without Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath - the unholy trinity of British heavy rock. This song, although written during the Vietnam war, actually references the threat of nuclear holocaust- so even more relevant today
@captainmoretokin2172 lifted word for word from Wikipedia: 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". You can disagree all you want, but it's not me you're disagreeing with - it's the band
@@johnstrausbaugh6718 There are a lot of songs that I remember hearing 50 years ago, I’m 66, that the Gen Z and X are just discovering. Personally, I’m getting a real kick, not just in this trip down memory lane, but watching the reaction of these “younguns” when they discover what live music, no auto tune, just pure talent sounds like. It’s especially sweet when they get blown away hearing something that a “modern Musician” sampled from an unexpected source. Case in point, Tupac’s Changes and Bruce Hornsby and The Range That’s Just The Way It Is
To say Deep Purple is 'under-rated' , simply reveals your lack of knowledge about this band. Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath were the 'Big Three' heavy rock bands of the early seventies. These were the Founding Fathers of so many genres of hard rock bands that followed and exist today.
@ well said.. the reason why people say they’re underrated it’s because of the pathetic American music press. The rock world knows how important they were…
The record Deep Purple In Rock is the only record I was ever able to fall asleep to since I love the entire record from the bottom of my heart. I tried to be a hippie throughout the 1990:s that in popular culture was very much about reliving our parents hippie experience, and I got into techno culture because of the hippi thing. I was fortunate to see many of the big bands still around, Deep Purple, Zeppelin (rejoined 1993), Velvet underground, Lou Reed, Santana, Black Sabbath and more... guys you have to start realizing how boring your life is theese tines.
The most amazing thing about this performance is, even though the musicianship is off the charts, the crowd is just sitting there, quiet, almost "Ho-Hum..." Of course, at the time, many of them had never seen or heard anything like it, so some were probably at a loss at how to react to something so stunning.
The audience was told beforehand that this was a live recording . They were told not to move or make a sound because the recording mikes would pickup the sounds and ruin the recording.
Gracias por reaccionar a la más grande banda de todos los tiempos ❤. Tengo 70 años y los he seguido desde mi adolescencia. Ellos forman parte de la llamada "Trinidad Impía", junto a Led Zeppelin y Black Sabbath...Ian Gillan, vocalista, es considerado como una de las más hermosas voces del Rock ( la voz de plata). Hasta hoy siguen vigentes, haciendo conciertos en vivo 😊 Ian Gillan ya tiene 78 años, Robert Glover, bajista, también tiene 78 ; Ian Paice, batería, tiene 76 años ( los tres son de la formación M II, la más exitosa. En el órgano, un Hammond, está el gran Jon Lord...RIP 😢. Y En guitarra Ritchi Blackmore ( uno de los mejores). Fueron reeplazados por Don Airey en teclado y ahora, Simon Mc Bride en guitarra. Siguen siendo fabulosos. Otra vez, GRACIAS 🙏. Que Dios les bendiga!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
The lead singer is Ian Gillian, go down the rabbit hole with this band! Ian also sang the part of Jesus in the Rock Opera Jesus Christ Superstar, check it out. you will be blown away. here is Ian singing "I only want to say" from the live stage show! ua-cam.com/video/gOjyGy1NR4Y/v-deo.html
& many people still think he sang in the live stage show... he didn't. Gillan sang on the original studio album but didn't (DIDN'T) play Jesus in the live show because he was on tour with Purple at that time
Grandpa was pretty cool, huh. These dudes are about 12 years older than I am. I got to hear this music for the first time as a young teen shortly after it was released. It is very startling how the lyrics apply today more than ever.
I'm sad for the generation that never had the chance to see DP perform live. I've had the privilege to see them a dozen times. Always a great fun show, audiences went wild! The first time I saw them play was the Mark 1 version (this was Mark 3) at the Hollywood Bowl in the 60s. Tickets cost a mind-boggling 50 cents each (eat your heart out).
That's what Fractional Reserve Banking and removing America from the Gold Standard will predictably do. Print baby print! (money) Oh, and this is one of my favorite performances ever. Unbelievable.
I had the midwives play this song at my daughter's home birth! I wanted her to be born first hearing virtuoso musicians like Deep Purple! They are all highly trained professional musical artists and you were right to surmise that other bands tried to emulate their progressive rock style! Ian Gillan ( the singer) also sings lead vocals in the rock album Jesus Christ Superstar...which is a rock classic! Go down the Deep Purple ( or Rainbow) musical rabbit hole and you will learn a lot about great rock music and the GOATS in their field!
When I was a nine year old (or young?) kid in 1970... There were only 3 major rock bands.. Deep Purple.. Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin... Oh and Uriah Heep so 4 then. Love them all, but Heep was, is & will always be my favourite rock band. Greetings from Germany ;)
NOTHING produced today can be compared to this! By the way, the singer was notoriously bohemic and undisciplined. He often didn´t showed up on rehearsals and other meetings. When the band planned a "reunion party" after many decades, one of the other band members refused to show up if the singer was to come. But he was still a genius!
‘“They never got heard of”? These guys were right at the top of the tree when your parents were your age 🙂. I’m glad you have discovered them though 🙂.
Deep Purple. You may not have heard the name, but believe me, you have heard the riff to their signature song ”Smoke on the water” - famously the first thing EVERY beginner electric guitarist learns to play! And the band really is one of the biggest ever, with over 100 million albums sold. They are part of the Big Four of early British pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal who forever changed the face of music as we know it, the other three being Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep. But no, Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses wasn’t really influenced by Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan: Axl’s big role model was the late great Dan McCafferty from Nazareth - another legendary British 70s hard rock band well worth investigating. Deep Purple remain to this day an immensely popular band on their home continent and in Japan in particular: their most recent album ”=1” (pronounced equals one) arrived in July 2024 and was a Number One album all over Europe. Three members from the lineup you just watched, the classic so called Mark 2 lineup, remain with the band today: singer Ian Gillan, bassist Roger Glover and drummer Ian Paice. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore is no longer part of the hard rock community, and Jon Lord, the one of a kind genius renowned as arguably the greatest keyboard player in history, sadly succumbed to pancreatic cancer in 2012.
I´m 63. I still hold Ian Gillian as a better singer than Robert Plant and Ozzy. But Ronnie James Dio is also a great rock singer. And when it comes to DP songs you must have heard smoke on the water or lazy If not do them
That's a TOUGH choice between Ian and DIO. I will say they each have their unique strengths...and I refuse to choose...like I can't pick a favorite of my children either! They are both GOATS imo. ( RIP Ronnie)
I beg to differ.....Robert Plant still hits the high notes..... Deep Purple does not perform child in time and strange kind of woman anymore because Ian cant hit the high notes anymore.....
Deep Purple are by far one of the VERY best bands even. They have nowc44 years larer just been on a 8 month world tour with a TOP Salling new album called =1. But they can play. Nothing with computers etc. The real thing only. A far cry from the death boring music these years.
What strikes me is.. I am from Norway for the record.. When good music is made and played. No one cares where you are from or skin color. Everyone respect good music. No solo banjo is just scary
Ian Gillan era stato ingaggiato per cantare nell'opera rock Jesus Christ Superstar dove ha cantato solo in un pezzo Gethsemane per altri impegni ha rinunciato. Più tardi perfino Luciano Pavarotti ha voluto cantarci insieme nella musica lirica. Negli anni settanta ci sono stati cantanti che non sono più apparsi attualmente. E non esisteva niente come autotune, computer o elettronica che poteva aiutare il cantante
As you hav no luck with the moment you paused the video (but you didn't know the song so it happens) it would be cool to go back for a few seconds before press play again, you will not loose the building of the song.
Deep Purple, to me one of the best bands of the 70's Please listen to Machine Head album in its entirety Hey how did you get a vid of me driving to the grocery store? 😅
Child In TIme was an anti-war song (Cold War or Vietnam depending on which member is telling the Tale), the lyrics pretty much tell that story. The first falsetto was supposed to display sorrow and sadness, the second set the horrors, and the third set outrage and anger. Again depending on which member of the band is telling the story. And the crescendo at the end was just the pure chaos of war. YES, they were VERY influential. Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath ushered in the rock n roll styles and sounds that are still influencing hard rock and metal bands. All were incredible musicians and the guitarist, Richie Blackmore has been called the missing link between blues influenced players and the shredders that came in the late 70's and 80's. You can hear their influences in Iron Maiden, Metallica, Sound garden and many many others. If you listen to SMoke On the Water, I'm sure you will have heard that in movies, commercials, etc. Keep up the good work!
This was a war protest song, Ian Gillan the vocaliast was concidered the best in the world, Pavarotti was a fan! One of the grandfathers of heavy rock/metal. Space truckin’ was a favourite or Lazy!
I'm wondering if it has gotten more difficult for younger people exposed to the greatness of classical rock musicians to still be able to find appreciation for some popular contemporary rap and R&B artists of today that often perform solo with a whole lot of computer-generated music backing them? The musical groups that I see performing a SNL - generally suck in comparison regardless of their genre. Although I though Shaboozy (Country Western) was very talented and had about 8 musicians backing him. He was a rare exception to generally lousy music on that iconically-cool show. There's a point in here somewhere. :)
As you can see, the audience was not appropriate for that song, since they did not even know the lyrics and you see mothers with their children. In other words, they looked like people waiting to see a priest giving the typical Sunday sermon in church.
Ian Gillan - 'the Screaming Hair'. Apt name, but could be considered by some as an insult. Not so. The most Gutsy singer. He was in the original album recording of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and sang his heart out...
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video Deep Purple and amazing talent for sure 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on UA-cam. 😀
When music was art. Give me back those fucking times!
me too
Yes
No computers, no fake drums, no fake singing etc. Just pure talent. Amazing a live performance could sound this good in 1970.
😊☝️
5 Musicians at the absolute peak of their game.
I was 17 years old when I seen this band wasn't that familiar with them when they played this song I couldn't believe what I just witnessed saw and heard it blew me away and it still amazes me today in 2024
Every human being must protect this immortal music as a work of art. The golden age of music.
Greatest rock band of all time in my opinion. Part of the original Trilogy of rock along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.
You guys came across one of the best live recordings in rock and roll ever! That vocal range is out of control!
The scary thing is that the Made in Japan version is even better than this one.
Excellent job Always live or Video 50s threw 80s 😊

Amazingly Deep Purple put out a new album this past summer.
Just a typical late Friday night's live local programme on ITV in the UK...;)..55 years later still being astonishing to the entire planet!
I saw Black Sabbath in like 82' or 83" around there when they had Ian in the band. They had just released the Born Again album

Fun fact. The guitarist is responsible for the best known guitar riff in history.
"Smoke!"

It IS crazy that you've never heard of them. They are one of the seminal hard rock bands of all time, and still touring today.

Now that was rock'n'roll!
I enjoyed your comments very well thank you for appreciating us old folks We Appreciate You Young Folks too
Ian Gillan, the singer, is the original Jesus Christ Superstar.
The ONLY one as far as I'm concerned
This is a Masterpiece!!!
Incredible vocals…Deep Purple was a great band
They are STILL touring and making great music
But no Ritchie Blackmore
They should react to Ian singing Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar
The music of my youth and this is my favorite song.
The Best?
Or The "Beast"...
Gillan!!!
We in the Soviet Union were still listening to them in the early 80s, for us they were demigods
В 70-х!!!
Saw them 2 times both in 1985. The Texas jam Dallas cotton bowl and the perfect strangers tour Dallas
I've been to two Deep Purple concerts but I will never get over seeing this audience watching this preformance
They were not allowed to move, dance or make noise. TV recordings were not that technical advanced.
The thing about Deep Purple at that time was that they had Ritchie Blackmore, one of the acknowledged best Rock guitarists of all time, Jon Lord, a classically trained pianist who made the Hammond Organ into a classic rock instrument, Ian Paice, one of the best, but most underrated drummers, all trying to play each other off the stage AND THEN Ian Gillan started singing and took the whole thing up a notch or two.

bought the album in rock in 1970 first heard this tune i was 12 years saw them live in 1972
The music was great back then, it was pure talent.
It was magic, not just talent.
Legends!!!!!!
Some members of Iron Maiden as well as Lars Ulrich of Metallica credit Deep Purple as their main inspiration.
‘“They never got heard of”? These guys were right at the top of the tree when your parents were your age 🙂. I’m glad you have discovered them though 🙂.
For me, the best hard rock song ever! I Love "Made in Japan"!
Next should be Lazy. Also Child in Time from Made in Japan album is a must, Richie's solo is one of best guitar solos ever.

If you haven’t actually heard Smoke On The Water, I guarantee your recognize the opening guitar riff. It’s inspired many a future guitarist
That's a TOUGH choice between Ian and DIO. I will say they each have their unique strengths...and I refuse to choose...like I can't pick a favorite of my children either! They are both GOATS imo. ( RIP Ronnie)
I beg to differ.....Robert Plant still hits the high notes..... Deep Purple does not perform child in time and strange kind of woman anymore because Ian cant hit the high notes anymore.....
Deep Purple are by far one of the VERY best bands even. They have nowc44 years larer just been on a 8 month world tour with a TOP Salling new album called =1.
But they can play. Nothing with computers etc. The real thing only. A far cry from the death boring music these years.
Hot Hot Hot 🔥🔥🔥
Watch the audience! SHOCKED
Original lol 5 best Bands of All time
What strikes me is.. I am from Norway for the record.. When good music is made and played. No one cares where you are from or skin color. Everyone respect good music. No solo banjo is just scary
Thats how its done !
The holy trinity
That's better going the highest roller coaster you can go on this song is better than that it takes you for a ride
Ian Gillan era stato ingaggiato per cantare nell'opera rock Jesus Christ Superstar dove ha cantato solo in un pezzo Gethsemane per altri impegni ha rinunciato. Più tardi perfino Luciano Pavarotti ha voluto cantarci insieme nella musica lirica. Negli anni settanta ci sono stati cantanti che non sono più apparsi attualmente. E non esisteva niente come autotune, computer o elettronica che poteva aiutare il cantante
Genioooos 💜💜💜💜💜💜!!!!!!!
A must listen is Strange Kind of Woman off of Made in Japan
Great song and reaction
Love these guys..but that cal jam concert ..omg
Check out, Country Joe and the Fish at Woodstock doing the Vietnam Song, one of the biggest protest songs of the 60's
I was 16 in 1970 ! Am I lucky ? Yes, I am !
As you hav no luck with the moment you paused the video (but you didn't know the song so it happens) it would be cool to go back for a few seconds before press play again, you will not loose the building of the song.
Deep Purple, to me one of the best bands of the 70's Please listen to Machine Head album in its entirety Hey how did you get a vid of me driving to the grocery store? 😅
Child In TIme was an anti-war song (Cold War or Vietnam depending on which member is telling the Tale), the lyrics pretty much tell that story. The first falsetto was supposed to display sorrow and sadness, the second set the horrors, and the third set outrage and anger. Again depending on which member of the band is telling the story. And the crescendo at the end was just the pure chaos of war.
YES, they were VERY influential. Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath ushered in the rock n roll styles and sounds that are still influencing hard rock and metal bands. All were incredible musicians and the guitarist, Richie Blackmore has been called the missing link between blues influenced players and the shredders that came in the late 70's and 80's. You can hear their influences in Iron Maiden, Metallica, Sound garden and many many others.
If you listen to SMoke On the Water, I'm sure you will have heard that in movies, commercials, etc.
Keep up the good work!
This was a war protest song, Ian Gillan the vocaliast was concidered the best in the world, Pavarotti was a fan! One of the grandfathers of heavy rock/metal. Space truckin’ was a favourite or Lazy!
phénoménal
I'm wondering if it has gotten more difficult for younger people exposed to the greatness of classical rock musicians to still be able to find appreciation for some popular contemporary rap and R&B artists of today that often perform solo with a whole lot of computer-generated music backing them? The musical groups that I see performing a SNL - generally suck in comparison regardless of their genre. Although I though Shaboozy (Country Western) was very talented and had about 8 musicians backing him. He was a rare exception to generally lousy music on that iconically-cool show. There's a point in here somewhere. :)
Exelente canción..!!!
Super..
This is what it was like to Die in the Rice patties of Vietnam...
As you can see, the audience was not appropriate for that song, since they did not even know the lyrics and you see mothers with their children. In other words, they looked like people waiting to see a priest giving the typical Sunday sermon in church.
Has there ever been a more powerful & emotional anti war song?
Ian Gillan - 'the Screaming Hair'. Apt name, but could be considered by some as an insult. Not so. The most Gutsy singer. He was in the original album recording of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and sang his heart out...
I believe this was about the Vietnam War!😢
R.I.P. Organist Jon Lord.
Love that! They sound original lmao you wait to hear whats coming
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video Deep Purple and amazing talent for sure 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on UA-cam. 😀
