Your so right by saying the 60's and 70's was the best time for music. Being a teenager at this time was just wonderful. Oh, how I miss those days. I thank all the reactors who are keeping this music alive . Peace!
when I watch young people react to class bands like Deep Purple. Led Zep. Pink Floyd I have mixed feelings. I'm glad they are keeping their music alive but I am sad music is never going to be this good again. Just look at the instantly forgettable drivel we call music today
Nah, the Eighties were even better. Perhaps not for old folks though? But I understand the sentiment, we all love music from our +/- 15 y/o Still think good music are being composed though
This performance could be all the band ever did and they would go down in history. Its like zeppelin at knebsworth or msg, metallica in moscow, ac dc donnigton or hendrix at monterrey pop. Its a once in a lifetime experience and nothing can compare.
I grew up in the sixties and seventies and in my opinion; between 1964 and 1979, some of the greatest songs you could ever react to were made during this golden age of music!
Hi guys again, have a listen to Deep Purples "Perfect Stangers" film clip its around the ninetys I think you will love it, real Deep Purple sound. All the best guys Peter
Thanks for this great reaction. This is , for me, the greatest songs ever maked....it was back then in 1970 and it still are. Amazing song and an amazing band.
Deep Purple , Led Zeppelin , Black Sabbath , England musically gifted. Saw Deep purple live in 2005 , amazing . One of the greatest band of all time, The masters of Hard rock and Heavy metal . The list of their greatest songs is endless , Perfect Strangers , Knocking on your back door, Highway star , Smoke on the water , Black night , Sometimes I feel like screaming , Anthem , Love conquers All , Woman from Tokyo , Strange kind of woman , When a blind man cries, etc.
,.... Oh, bro, H O W CAN YOU NOT COMPLETE THE B I G FOUR WITH INCREDIBLY AMAZING & EXCITING U R I A H H E E P??? SUCH A SACRILEGE ~ SHAME ON YOU, MATE 😮😮😮😢!!!! ❤🎉😊 BERNIE GERMANY WHO ALSO LIKES ASTOUNDING BOLLYWOOD MUSIC 😊😊😊! STAY SAFE, DUDE 🎉
This song has a special place in my heart and especially this performance. I don't know how many times I've seen this video and just had goosebumps again. It reminds me of the time when I got to know this music. Bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, The doors etc. It was the early 90's and man we had a good time. Good friends, experience good music together, drink and smoke a little and were happy and carefree and became one in this music.
Couldn't wait for you to get to this. Many of the songs in those days had something tangible about them, something you could almost touch and feel, they were created by true musicians who sometimes seemed to be more like magicians. One of the best reactions to this masterpiece I've seen. Thank you
OH, MY - the passion in this song is AMAZING!!! His mournful vocals are just so MOVING and ENCOMPASSING!!! So hard to find words....just SO impactful!! And, still true, today, when speaking of war. The musicianship in this one is TOP-LEVEL and the vocals, as ALWAYS, with Ian Gillan, are STUNNING...and, in this case: heart-wrenching!!! I'm so glad all this music was available to me, as I grew up: a time when musicians could SO APTLY convey their thoughts and stances to the masses, whom many agreed with. Not the case, with a few exceptions, these days. LOVE YOUR REACTIONS! HUGS....from an old lady!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Great song! This is one of the few hard rock groups I enjoyed in the 60's-70's. Some of my favorites are their covers of Joe South's "Hush" & Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman", "Lazy", "Fireball", "Speed King", "Highway Star", "My Woman From Tokyo", "Space Truckin'" etc.
Welcome to Deep Purple. One of the things that you have to remember about the musicians back then, they not only performed the music, they WROTE it. The emotion behind the writing gets amplified during the performances. There were no computers to fix things back then... this was pure talent on display.
Well back in those days the point was prove yourself as a musician. Because there were crazy talent everywhere... all countries were doing amazing music. Black Americans, Brits, but Los Jaivas and so many geniuses. ❤
Its true what you say , Deep Purple were formed in 1969 same time as Led Zepplin they were all true musicians not fake like today enjoy watching your take on different music and yes its true the best music and Bands were back then i wouldnt cross the road to watch any bands today
Absolutly beautifull reaction From Andrei and Dominiq❤!!!....Guys, You Are great, keep reacting, i Can tell You some live performances that will blow your Mind!!!!❤!........love From David!!!❤
Dominica, i, understood, perfectly, what you said, about "THE SMOKE"😂( nothing to do with drugs, even if i took drugs😂), you told about, you're feeling so good, like if you were sleeping in a kind of smoke, a cloud😂Andreii, you were ready to cry😂So dont talk😂.....You said everything! The modern music, can sometimes be good, but, NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT LEVEL OF PASSION, SOUL, ETC.....You can't find that level of music today anymore!😢That's why i like your channel😂I THOUGHT IT'S ANDREII, WHO WOULD, FINALLY, CRY WITH THAT SONG, BUT IT'S DOMINICA WHO, FINALLY, CRIED😂😂😂😂😂I love you guys👍❤️Peace from France
I saw Deep Purple in 1973 during the MACHINEHEAD TOUR, possibly the most impactful concert I have been to. In a light rain at an outdoor dragstrip, it was magical. I was also tripping balls, which may have had something to do with the intensity of the experience.
tutte le volte che sento questo pezzo, e ormai lo ascolto da 54 anni, continuo ad avere brivii lungo la schiena. I Deep purple sono per me il più grande gruppo hard rock di sempre.
Ritch Blackmore,,,, uns dos melhores guitarristas da história Jon lord,,,,, o maior tecladista de todos os tempos Ian Gilan ,,, incomparável no vocal,,,, metal Roger Glover,,, contra baixo,,, excelente,,, Ian peace na drums,,,, The best
Like so many of my generation, I took for granted just how good the music was back then. Looking back, I treasure those memories of seeing so many great bands in concert. Rush, Outlaws, Bob Segar, Molly Hatchet, Pink Floyd and Tom Petty were some of the best to see live.
I Love Nightwish, Epica, Black Sabbath and other Metal Songs but THIS is/was ALWAYS my Number 1 HIT All-times. Since i heard it in 1972, i wast lost for this song. [never heard a better].
You guys can bet these five monsters already knew exatelly how great they were, at the time... Deep Purple was fundamental influence over hundred of musicians and the music...
An amazing band the first album I bought was deep purple machine head 5 minutes later I bought pink Floyd dark side of the moon and I’ve loved this era ever since I grew much older but my music still sounds of my youth ❤️
I love your guys reactions, and I've been a Deep Purple fan since I was a kid. You guys are right: Child in Time is just an overwhelming masterpiece by five unbelievable musicians each playing amazingly but somehow coming together.
Off of one of the best albums of all time,with one of the greatest album covers of all time “ Deep Purple..In Rock”.This song is powerful and chilling.Always great by you two.
Excellent reaction to an excellent deep purple performance, in 1970 I was going on 10 years old with two older brothers who were constantly buying the latest music of the day, I got to listen to all the best tunes, I soon became a Deep Purple fan, blasted this tune out many times, I never heard this version though until I started using UA-cam, it's the best live version performed by masters of the craft...
I was really fortunate to see this same lineup live. I love music but I agree, music was much different then compared to now. There are talented people but this was a special time. Wonderful reaction guys!❤
My favorite Deep Purple song... your reactions are priceless!!! I've watched so many Child in Time reactions but you guys are my favorite!!! I never get sick listening to this song!!! Speaking of "smoke..." their song "Smoke on the Water" is probably their most famous song (but most people will say it's overly played) Keep 'em coming!!! ❤
The sounds of the effects of war. 😢Great reaction ! ❤ absolutely right about the music ! Deep Purple we’re true innovator’s of early Rock….. One of my personal favorite Bands & songs. 🎸🔥❤️🤘🏼
i'm gonna be honest here .....for us who grew up in the 70s ....when the 80s rolled around ...we sometimes looked back at this stuff as being old school ...and the production old fashioned ....however , you see it now as classic and refreshingly honest !!! - its great stuff.....NEVER follow fashion....thats the lesson i learnt
Every band member is right at the top of their game here, without any doubt...But for me, John Lords keyboard playing is truly on another level! Even better when it was coupled up through a Marshall stack. Such a humble legend of the keyboard, who could compose music that even a classical composer could not fault. Listen to their live album, Concerto for Group and Orchestra from 1969 to see what I mean. Rock bands playing alongside classical instruments are quite common these days, but as far as I know, this was a first, 54 years ago!
This song was the one that launched me into loving hard rock. As a child growing up in the 60’s and 70’s I feel us here in the U.K. had the very best of what music could offer. So many classic rock bands , brilliant soft rock and pop too. We had a blast back then, so much talent.
Great rock band with some of the best musicians ever. The vocalist Ian Gillan one of the best front men ever. He sang the role of Jesus Christ on the original soundtrack of Jesus Christ Superstar, a rock opera from 1970. Unbelievable talent.
You are so right I grew up listening then gettin to concerts to see these amazing bands,, you will never get this again imo thank you guys your amazing
This has always been considered an anti-Vietnam War song. Ian Gillan, the singer, wrote the lyrics. Their "In Rock" album was the second album I bought as a teenager. I saw them live three times in 1971, 72 and 73. They were fantastic live. (I still have all my extensive collection of vinyl from the 60s and 70s.)
It's mostly Americans who think it must be about America's War Against Vietnam because everything has to be about them. But Gillan has said repeatedly it was about the Cold War. He said, for example, that “I started singing and the words came easily because we were all aware of the nuclear threat which hovered over us at this time which was probably when the ‘cold war’ was at its hottest ... So, we created this song using the Cold War as the theme.” Being British it's not surprising that they (and me) were far more concerned with any Soviet/ Warsaw Pact threat of invasion/nuclear war than the rogue, terrorist USA killing hundreds of thousands in a country half a world away that was never any threat to the them (or any other country) as they were fighting for their independence from France (and eventually US imperialism).
@@psbarrow Well said by an imperialist Brit, but a big fake. Who got involved in the Iraq war; I thought at the time that the UK would become the 51st state, moving away from the reluctance of other European countries. And even before that, with the Fakland War, Britain had rediscovered its old imperialist streak. Wars are mostly diversionary maneuvers by old machos to distract from national problems and to unite their country through nationalism. As the saying goes, everyone should take a good look at their own nose and reconsider their own behavior✌
I live in a small town in Czech Republic with only 7,000 inhabitants. But we still had in my town some concerts - Jethro Tull, Deep Purple and Sting (and Blackmoore's Night - Ritchie Blackmore, ex lead guitarist Deep Purple plus his wife Candice Night, they play renaisance music in modern folk rock arangement). The Deep Purple concert (2013) was my greatest musical experience I saw live.
There are bands out there that can convey that sort of feeling like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath could 50 years ago. They are far and in between. But they do exist. The amount of talent in the UK in the 60's and 70's was astounding and will never be matched again. Child In Time is an all time classic. Wise choice. Great reaction.
Great reaction to this. Deep Purple was such a dynamic group. I was fortunate to have been a child of the 60's and a teenager in the 70's. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I enjoy seeing your beagle pup in the background.
It was Great Growing up in the 1960's and seventies in the UK Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep purple, Pink Floyd, Dire straits, Yes, etc . I was lucky enough to see most live, but the best concert by far was Pink Floyds pulse at earls court standing under the mirror ball.
Your so right by saying the 60's and 70's was the best time for music. Being a teenager at this time was just wonderful. Oh, how I miss those days. I thank all the reactors who are keeping this music alive . Peace!
when I watch young people react to class bands like Deep Purple. Led Zep. Pink Floyd I have mixed feelings. I'm glad they are keeping their music alive but I am sad music is never going to be this good again. Just look at the instantly forgettable drivel we call music today
Nah, the Eighties were even better. Perhaps not for old folks though?
But I understand the sentiment, we all love music from our +/- 15 y/o
Still think good music are being composed though
Deep Purple the GOATS along with Led Zep. Gillan amazing singer!!!!
This performance could be all the band ever did and they would go down in history. Its like zeppelin at knebsworth or msg, metallica in moscow, ac dc donnigton or hendrix at monterrey pop. Its a once in a lifetime experience and nothing can compare.
I grew up in the sixties and seventies and in my opinion; between 1964 and 1979, some of the greatest songs you could ever react to were made during this golden age of music!
Absolutely correct.
I'm 61 and I agree.
Your wife is a wonderful lady!
This is the birth of heavy metal : Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin

Beautiful reaction to something special
Yes, 1970s UK - we didn’t know how lucky we were!
The guitarist here - Ritchie Blackmore is the same guitarist playing in Rainbow - Stargazer and all of their other songs.
I love you guys. You so completely get it.
This was before my time, I didn't see them live until 1973 ;) hehe
The loudest band in history.
...aaaaand another rabbit hole to explore 🙂
Gillan's voice is like another virtuoso instrument.
Great insight, your absolutely correct, people were expected to bring something to the table back then 🇬🇧👍
You spoke the truth about the way music was. You are 1000000000% right ! Perfect !
*One of the best classic rock songs of all time.*
One of the greatest singers ever and the band plays great
The best reaction- review I've ever seen in yrs. Great insight.

Completely understand the ‘smoke’ reference!
Hi guys this is one of the VERY VERY best isn't it. Absolutely brilliant piece of music brilliants good on ya's. Peter

May b the greatest live performance of all time. Musical geniuses.
Now compare this to modern top 40 and tell me that music has not gone downhill in the last 20 years.
Nothing like this today. Every one of these guys were amazing muscians.
I like the smoke analogy. His voice does wrap itself around you...
Merci de dpl de cette chanson ❤❤❤❤

RIP Jon Lord (keyboards). That's all. No more words can explain the emotion I feel. It's my generation. I'm 70. It's my music. My world.

you two are so adorable its a pleasure watching you guys
I agree with your insights on this music I grew up on. Warms my soul to see you appreciate it.
This never gets old, and they are all excelling at what they do. What a respectful reaction.
And there is much more ‘70 music! Find!!!
I saw deep purple quite a few times in the 70's & 80's and the smoke was going around me too 😉
Well back in those days the point was prove yourself as a musician. Because there were crazy talent everywhere... all countries were doing amazing music. Black Americans, Brits, but Los Jaivas and so many geniuses. ❤

Amei seus comentários, tive a oportunidade de ver o Depp Purple ao vivo aqui no Brasil, eles são realmente mágicos, banda fantástica ❤
Yo los ví en buenos aires y sinceramente son lo mejor,y Vi a ac DC a Maiden , megadeth, Metallica, sepultura. Y no les llegan a los talones
tutte le volte che sento questo pezzo, e ormai lo ascolto da 54 anni, continuo ad avere brivii lungo la schiena. I Deep purple sono per me il più grande gruppo hard rock di sempre.
I was born in '94 and i totally agree with everything you said there at the end! ❤ :)

Yep the bands back in the day and love and soul it makes you feel something you never have before!
Every band member is right at the top of their game here, without any doubt...But for me, John Lords keyboard playing is truly on another level!

All the In Rock album was great first DP record I bought!

Hi, I'm thinking what a good time it's been, music from the heart and right to the point
DEEP PURPLE TE LLEGA HASTA EL ALMA QUE GENIOS!!!
It was Great Growing up in the 1960's and seventies in the UK Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep purple, Pink Floyd, Dire straits, Yes, etc .
I was lucky enough to see most live, but the best concert by far was Pink Floyds pulse at earls court standing under the mirror ball.
