Has anyone recommended Pixies? If not, Gouge Away, Monkey Gone To Heaven and Hey are good places to start. They go from soft to hard regularly and are far more traditional rock 'n roll than Deep Purple. I really like Deep Purple but think Pixies will be another string on your bow to understanding rock.

@@ELPCOTILLION-SD1970 Are you thinking of this one .... th-cam.com/video/OorZcOzNcgE/w-d-xo.html It is wonderful, tbh I prefer it to the Made in Japan version
The only song I ever heard that was better than the studio version, and I mean ten times better, was Kraftwerk's "The Man Machine". the studio version is quite different and rather tinny, whereas the live one is quite throaty. I probably have heard one or two other lives that came out better, but that's just how terribly rare it is for me. Most lives are complete garbage, and barely resemble the studio version. Actually, if I had never heard live before, but first heard the studio version, I think I would be rather appalled at the poorness of the live. Oh, just got another which though I haven't heard the studio version, was supreme live, and that was Joan Osborne's "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted".
@@NondescriptMammal Good, good, but I don't like that song enough to check it out. Yes, there's always a few odds and ends we can find that achieves equality with studio, or surpasses it. The Man Machine one I spoke of, which probably isn't to most rockers' tastes, being electronic and all, is thus far, by far the only example I know of where the live surpassed the studio. I'm not sure what the problem was with the studio version, but while if you like electronic music at all, it don't sound bad, and you only know it's tinny when you hear the live version (even though the live is mostly in German). One thing I'm curious about, do musicians have the same live performances across the board? IOW, are they striving for the same thing every time? Naturally, some aren't going to give a damn, and it shows, but some are much more complex, and I guess they just can't recreate the studio version entirely, or just don't want to. I've now heard two different Deep Purple songs live, from different places, and both are pretty much on par with the studio versions, and I wouldn't had thought all those factors were possible together. It starts to look like to me, that Deep Purple knew what their studio version sounded like and strove very hard to sound like that live, even with some fairly complex stuff like Child in Time. I mean every aspect to those two songs, they're right up there with the studio, the organ, guitar, the lead, etc.
I think she's getting much better at not stopping it too much, and at least establishing a bit of a flow before she interrupts again. There was one interval I was really starting to wonder if she wasn't being completely swept away, and would forget to interrupt. That was a classic moment, seemingly almost forgetting her main mission. If you go over this video again, she's really seeing the benefit of less interruptions, I think this song broke her the best so far, into seeing there is a lot to be said for absorbing the music, becoming a part of it (as you would think she would doubtlessly so easily do in classical music). There's a lot of times she lowers her right hand, as though she plans to interrupt, or she's constantly making adjustments to the sound (unknown), and then her reaction when she finally comes back is if she should interrupt it or not. I'm telling you, she's starting to understand what some of us have been telling her, that there's a lot to be said for getting into the music, and not using the brain so much to analyze it. She's been gradually seeing the benefit of going with the flow, and this is the one that broke her. I'm not all that nuts about this song myself, but I can tell you, that's just what happened here - this one shook her prior outlook. She has this riff fascination, if she understands it is questionable (I don't for a start), so there's that too.
Deep Purple's organist, Jon Lord, and lead Guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore were both classically trained musicians. In September 1969 Jon Lord composed Concerto for Group and Orchestra which they performed at the Royal Albert Hall alongside the Royal Philharmonic orchestra conducted by sir Malcolm Arnold. It was filmed and can be found on You Tube. Lasts just under an hour.
That was they Y in their path, classical vs in Rock, In Rock with Child and Time won out and that was their direction. Lord wanted Orchestra route the rest of the band wanted the Rock direction.
@@JulioLeonFandinho he took guitar lessons and learned the basic of technique and theory. Nevertheless, he obviously likes classical music (especiall renaissance, baroque and medieval) and is very much influenced by it in this music and playing.
I am very happy you enjoyed this so much. It has been near the top of my list of songs I wanted you to hear. My only disappointment was that you didn't do the live 1970 British TV concert, which I think has the better performances, along with having great visual quality for you to see the musicians playing their parts. A top level production and performance, and the audience is as well behaved as a classical one. You would have seen Ritchie Blackmore, one of rock's most accomplished guitarist, doing his amazing guitar solo. It needs to be visually seen, in addition to being heard, to truly appreciate it.
Update: I was really excited to hear Amy will be looking at this live version as part of her In-Depth analysis. Even if she doesn't show any clips, I think it will still be very helpful in seeing them perform this in a live context. Seeing how they keep the basic structure and feel of the song, while at the same time improvising some parts, playing them in slightly different ways from the studio and other live performances. Particularly the organ and guitar.
I am relieved that Amy chose the studio version for her reaction. The 70’s live version whilst good is flawed. 1) The organ sounds like an inversion of the original “riff” and is not as good. 2) It misses that great vocal ad-lib Ian Gillan sings in the first verse who’s his sorely missing in the live version. 3) Ritchie Blackmore’s solo is far more meandering and less structured, he even makes a blatant musical mistake half way through which he recovers from. However it is loose and shows him being inattentive. 4) Gillan sings those inane and banal lyrics at the end that bear no context to the rest of the song. I agree there are many great live versions but for me the original is perfectly formed, composed and played.
Musically the live televised version is great, but I always feel so frustrated with the directing. The cameras seem to miss, or be late to, many of the important shots.
I've been listening to these tunes for over 50 years, today I was in tears listening to a song I've heard a gazillion times, I don't know if it nostagia, my mental health or just the beauty of this piece of music... and how it resonates today... maybe them all.
Same here, but only know this song for 30 years when I heard it in my mid teens. Seeing Amy experience it for the first time and get drawn in brought it all back. First time I heard it was at a friend's house, we were playing his dad's old records loud, had some uriah heep or led Zeppelin on, We'd started with the doors. All 4 of us were rather wasted and probably reeking of dope sitting on the floor. Well his dad came home, we were busted. He sniffed obviously, said nothing, calmly put the led Zeppelin record away. Put this album on and turned it up a bit more, sat on the couch, still silent. Blasted the whole of side A with not a word uttered, we were absorbed. Side B got put on, still not a word, he went and started barbecuing and drinking beer. One of the highlights of my life, quiet appreciation of fine art.
This song is just that amazing. I remember that when I discovered it when I was about 15 (20 years ago) I didn't like it that much, but it seems as my taste matured I can appreciate this masterpiece better...
Deep Purple has been my favorite band since 1969. So much talent. So much power. So much creativity. Unlimited technical facility and instantly identifiable sound. Ian Gillan was untouchable back in this time period! So glad you got to hear this!
Always loved this piece. My goodness the range and strength of his voice! It is like the vocals are the fifth element in the arrangement. Ian Gillan is not just a "singer". He is an instrument in an orchestration.
When you realize this is an anti-war song, it provides meaning and context to the music and why it's being played that way by the band. I love MANY Deep Purple songs, but I think this is their crowning achievement.
There Is no anti-war. War will always be, and it will be. Evil over good trying to get thru, and it will always end with a war response. Simply as it Can. Anti-war Is Strong utopia.
@@vornerbros9507 Dude, "anti-war" is just a figure of speech. There is an entire sub-genre of music labeled with the name. I wasn't making a political or philosophical statement. Just describing the song.
@Frank Pentangeli, you could class it as a Anti-war song as does Wikipedia.Having seen purple in concert back in 1969 at the Royal Albert Hall,Ian Gillian's interpretation of child in time which was in their set he describes it as a sad guy who was a loser who came third in a duel, he blew his mind out in the end.
@@simoncushing1048 The words you cite as evidence were used only once on Granada TV in 1970, and in the Albert Hall in 1969 there are not even final cries, and, moreover, there is no final text (which, by the way, changed all the time and there are no two identical final texts).
I loved your take on this classic!!! 👍😉😘 PLEASE do Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" - the studio version !!! I'm sure you will get a lot out of the way it is constructed and can shed some light to us plebs who know very little about music. We all know it's good but may not understand exactly why. Please, I'm sure others will echo my wishes in this simple request. Cheers
It is one of their absolute master pieces. Long and filled to the brim with emotion, artistry and tasteful sounds. Both parts are amazing. The whole album is. Also the sad and profound back story about Syd Barrett is so important to understand more about Pink Floyd, their music and their success. In a way, one could say, there would never have been a Pink Floyd as we know it without Syd, and neither without him leaving the band. His spirit is always present, in the background of their music, I feel. Both haunting them and inspiring them. She needs to see the interviews with Roger and David about it, and learn what incredible accident happened at a recording session for the song. Shine On!!
FYI the hammond organ is usually coupled with a special speaker called a leslie cabinet. It has a built in amplifier. Inside there's an 18 inch speaker which lays on it's back, pointing upwards into a spinning baffle which creates a slow phasing affect. In a seperate compartment at the top there's 2 horn speakers which spin in the opposite direction. The bottom speaker handles the bass and mid-range frequencies and the horns handle the higher frequencies. The keyboard player has a switch (usually a foot switch) which when pressed speeds up the spin and creates a vibrato sound. The hammond organ was originally designed for the church but got adopted by rock bands. If you listen to the track again you can hear the effect.
I sense that she's starting to develop a "Rock Ear" which is a bit of a different animal to a classical ear but the two can definitely co-exist and complement one another. One can deeply appreciate both.
European classic and psychedelic rock bands did that a lot back in the heyday of rock music. Listen to bands such as Focus, Can, Amon Düül II etc., and you'll notice quickly those bands had a classical ear, too.
A wonderful song, but your reaction, facial expressions and commentary added so much to my experience of it. Thank you so much for this video. It feels like showing something you love to a new friend 🙂
70's rock is going to blow your mind. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, Robin Trower, U.F.O. Styx, Heart, Rush, Grand Funk. Rainbow, Aerosmith, Nugent, to add the mid 70's to the list.
I haven't heard this in a long time. My brother passed away in May and this was one of his favourite songs back in the day when he listened to a steady diet of Deep Purple, King Crimson, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, to name but a few. Thanks for appearing spontaneously in my suggested videos.
I might be wrong but is this the first time We seen her headbang!!! I saw her nodding her head up and down! What a priceless reaction to someone new enjoying rock for the first time!! Just like we all experienced it when we were kids! An uncontrollable feeling!
I've been listening to this music for 50 years and I enjoy it more now then in the beginning. It is very satisfying to the ear. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I agree. It's a fabulous piece of music. I'm glad you enjoyed it. In may 1970 the last Beatles album "Let it be" was released and in june the album "Deep Purple in Rock" (with "Child in time" on it) followed and started a new era in rock music.
These videos are great. I listened to Deep Purple many years ago. Now, after catching your videos, I’m listening to them all over again. Wonderful stuff. ... Child In Time is a masterpiece. Everything about it: the voice, the keyboards, the guitar, the melody. Everything fits perfectly. I can’t imagine anyone who would not be impressed by it. A true classic.
It is worth paying attention to the drums in this piece. This is a perfect example of everything that has recently been discussed about drums on your channel. From military roots to solo (almost) performances. Everything perfectly intertwined with the rest of the music and serving it.
@@piersgooderham8674 Yes. Surprise is the right word. The malicious part of me tells me that "Neil Peart, Drum Solo" might be related to it somehow, but of course it's a matter of taste.😊
This song is such a tremendous song! Such a journey!! Glad you listened to this! Ian Gillan always stands out to me as a singer. It doesn't hurt that one of the rock albums of my parents that I listened to back then was my dad's Jesus Christ Superstar album (the concept album with Ian Gillan as Jesus) and that to this day I can always put that on and just get lost in it! And Deep Purple as a band is such a tremendous group of musicians. I saw them in the 80s and they stand out as one of my favorite groups to see live.
Amy, I loved your reaction! For some reason I was really happy when you said, “This is a fabulous piece of music.” I was going to vote for ‘Allegro Vivace’ but when I looked up the definition of ‘riff’ I realized that the three note theme in this song is indeed a riff. Live and learn. I don’t think I’ve listened to this song for 40+ years. Just a few seconds in I realized what was missing - the scratchety pop of vinyl lol. I would never have thought this as one of my favourite rock songs but I was really happy as the music progressed😅 and I actually achieved a very pleasant state of meditative absorption. So thank you and Vlad for what you do :-) p.s. I’d like to suggest the Door’s song “Light my Fire” (1967). A Bach-influenced organ intro, great vocals and melody and a wonderful keyboard solo. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998 but I haven’t seen the Doors or this song recommended yet (I haven’t read all the comments to all your vids). I think you will find the song a very interesting, informative and enjoyable side note in your exploration of the history of rock.
Deep Purple released an album before this where they played with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and it was around the same time when lead singer Ian Gillan performed vocals for Jesus Christ Superstar. Not only were they well acquainted with classical music, but they had very serious practice sessions. This song is a rock masterpiece, and if you really want to hear impressive improvisation, I refer you to their live version of this song on the album "Made in Japan". By the way, I love this channel!
I love the "Concerto for group and orchestra" (composed by John Lord), performed live by Deep Purple and the Royal Philarmonic Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall. Still have my father's LP.
I love the reaction of classically trained musicians!! They far surpass the knowledge that us mere mortals have, when it comes to music, fluttering angels of the World of Audio Wonderment!
Deep Purple... one of those rare bands where all the individual artists are just so good that no one eclipses the other. Vocals, drums, bass, lead guitar, keyboard... it doesn't matter, they are all so equally excellent and balanced that the result is jaw-dropping music. So expressive, so full. For another awesome DP track, try 'Perfect Strangers'.
This song came out in 1970. NO added enhancements just raw pure talent from all 5 of these guys. My all time favorite song by them. Ritchie Blackmore is one of the greatest ( almost unrecognized) guitarist in the world. Listen to some of his music from Rainbow and of course much more Deep Purple.
As a note of trivia Purple was playing Child in Time in 1969 and it was one of the opening tunes for Purple’s Concerto for Group and Orchestra recorded live in Sept 1969
When these five men got together they produced some of the finest music ever. Each of them are excellent at their instruments (Ian Gillian vocalist). It is too bad they could not stay together.
As an older Rocker, musician, and guitarist, I have a great deal of respect for you in taking on the Rock genre like you are. You're really digging into the meat and potatoes of where it's started. I hope you continue the journey and possibly delve into some of the heavier (Metal) areas at some point. Great work!!
It's wonderful to see someone widening their musical appreciation spectrum and really enjoying the experience. I find in most genres of music marketing dictates what most people hear and it's often good to search other avenues to see the gems that lie undiscovered beneath the tip of the iceberg.
Every time i watch a first impression video of songs and bands we just took for granted in the 70's I'm just overwhelmed at the pride i feel when a younger generation discovered the magic we knew so well...
@@WillyEckaslike i find the guitar solo better and clearer in the studio version. Don't get me wrong , the live version is great, I've watched it many times. I just feel the first impression should be the studio version . The other option is anything off of "Made in Japan "
Me too. The song begins with a Hammond organ melody that sets the mood for the song. And I think that's crucial for the whole concept of the composition. Unfortunately, the live version lacks the depth of the intro and thus greatly demotes the perception of the track IMO.
hi, I'm Tony Zecchinelli from Rome Italy. I really enjoyed the expressions on your face while you were listening to Child in Time by Deep Purple. I've been playing since I was 11 and I've never studied music or better I've only had 5 lessons from a blind music teacher who taught me all the chords, the relative reverses of the chords and all the scales and the turn of the third and fourth finger when making musical scales - I have never been able to play someone else's music but I have always composed my music by improvising and I can't even repeat my own because because with only 5 lessons and all 5 lessons only practical lessons it is therefore logical that I don't know how to read or write music but I don't miss it at all if I can't read or write it but I love composing and I really enjoyed your TH-cam channel where a true classical musician listens rock because it is beautiful for me to see your expressions on your face which means that rock music that comes directly from our soul like jazz and not from the paper of the musical pentagramma, however rock manages to create emotion even for those musicians who have a different musical culture and this is beautiful. So thank you for showing your emotions by listening to the Rock classics of the late 60s and early 70s but then after 1973 rock got contaminated with disco music and everything became mediocrity.
Very happy to see such a professional and honest analysis from someone new to the discovery of rock'roll. Emotional. Some of us our age experienced the birth of the great groups that you are analyzing and we know how much better their concerts were, freedom was breathed, an explosion of adrenaline and feeling, wild dance. Rock. I suggest that even if it is just for you that you see their performances live. You will be amazed
It's worth to mention all the great musicians, who created this masterpiece. It's rhe so called MK2 lineup of rhe band, considered by most fans as the best one. It's Ian Gillan on lead vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord on Hammond organ, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums.
Wow! Found this by accident, but it's a wee bit of an inspiration....someone going outside their norm or comfort zone. Trying new stuff .hats off I salute you .👍 .
So glad to listen to this along with you, Amy. Parts of this song make my hair stand on end, every time. Shout out to Ian Paice. Very engaging and shifting syncopations and fills that allow the repetitive aspects in the organ and bass to continue without becoming monotonous. Propulsive playing, but simultaneously leaving plenty of space.
After seeing her reaction to this classic work, I so hope that Amy will someday listen to Shine on You Crazy Diamond off of Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. It has a certain beautiful minimalism, while all the time progressing through a long series of very distinct passages.
I'm so glad you've been doing thus. I've been a huge rock music fan for decades. I helped my daughter go through and graduate the Suzuki piano method and picked up piano for myself and studied classical music.
Child In Time on the live Made in Japan Album...even more epic! Strange Kind of Woman also on Made In Japan has a call and response between the vocal and guitar that is awesome!
The version of "Lazy" found in the Made in Japan album is much more awesome than the studio one. Especially the intro, which plays pinball music for some bars.
This is my all time favourite song EVER and from one of the four best bands in the world. You do not need to understand it - simply close your eyes and feel it and let it fill your mind and body and soul.
The singer, Ian Gillan, is usually regarded as one of the greats, when it comes to rock singers, especially hard rock singers. People like him, along with others regarded as greats are, Robert Plant,[Led Zeppelin] Paul Rogers,[Free, Bad Company] Freddie Mercury, [Queen.]
I was ten years old,I found' a drumset in the warehouse of the barracks where my father worked (he was a career soldier,there in Italy), I started 'to beat this old drumset'..... I heard '"Chid in time",and I took out' the drums parts ,and I recorded it !!!!. I would pay millions to listen to that tape now!
Jon Lord (RIP) was a classically trained master musician and innovator. He loved JS Bach, Medieval, Elgar, Blues and Jazz. His approach to using the Hammond C3 organ in a Hard Rock context was two fold: 1) where his contemporaries would play an organ using the same technique as playing piano, Jon used a legato technique; 2) Jon sent the audio output of the organ into a Marshall guitar amp then the output of the guitar amp to the Leslie Speakers. Jon use of the Marshall guitar amp matched up with the Marshall amps that Ritchie Blackmore was using to get the oomph and distortion of Hard Rock. Jon also used an Electric Piano and Harpsicord within the Deep Purple context. 🎸😎
You are sooo loveful! symphatic! You send so much positive energie out! from You, i thank You so much!!! You are Beautyful, someone special! thank You so much! for this reaction
The power comes from the simplicity of the riff. It makes it versatile and work at every level of intensity. The dynamics take it from there and you're left with a great framework for the solos. Some of my ealiest childhood memories, are if Ian Gillan singing. 🤘🧙♂️🤘 Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
You as a young, talented and musical person can be grateful for being able to dig into the masterpieces of yesterday, not many masterpieces being created today...I am also surprised that you said this was the first time you had heard an organ in a rock song. Tells something about the sonic poverty of the past decades of pop and rock music. But with all respect to you.
Deep Purple, grande entre los grandes. Ahi quedó su gran legado. Me gustan las expresiones de esta mujer , a medida que va escuchando el tema, lo siente.
I've been listening for this song for 36 years, since I was 8. Still getting goose skin and carried along by it... So happy it's been with me all these years.
It's wonderful to see your musical heart and mind grow before our very eyes, through your refreshing immersion into musical styles outside your usual "box." Your analyses are fantastic and always instructive. I started classical guitar studies 8 months ago after 50+ years of playing folk, rock, and blues. So I identify with the same sort of excitement but in the context of immersion into classical guitar and classical music. Keep up the great work, Amy! And best regards from Detroit.
This brilliant song means so much to me. I was 17 years old when I really listened to it and at 18 I was an infantry soldier fighting in the Rhodesian war. That was in 1974. This was the next big was after the Vietnam war. When you've experienced 'flying lead' and 'ricochets' these words send a chill..... Actually that's what blinded me in my right eye. A ricochet. Going to the
Amy, you have now heard all 3 of the " Unholy Trinity ", Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. From these 3 acorns the hard / heavy rock tree bloomed. You mentioned the Galloping Bass, remember this as you will undoubtely do an Iron Maiden song and hear the God of the Gallop ( Steve Harris ), The Trooper shows this best. You also heard Ian Gillan perform one of the first "Screamer" songs, a whole sub-genre of heavy metal will appear 40ish years after this recording using this singing method.
CHILD IN TIME-You betcha! I heard of em when I was attending Mount Saint Michael Academy High School Bronx New York Sophomore year 1972. Song released 1970. Today song is as FRESH and NEW when I first listened to and heard it back then!!!!!!!!!! Today's music......Don't even try to compare compete with 70's ROCK!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but another Deep Purple song, Smoke On The water, has, in the first ten or twenty seconds, the riff that, in a way, started it all. That's the riff that the guitar teacher told you about. It's so simple in execution and yet so iconic and recognizable that any guitar player since, as soon as they learned to play a chord, tried to copy. Think of it this way: most of the time when you're humming a rock tune under your breath, you're actually humming the riff.
I don't know how I missed this one, dear lady :) Better late to the party than never I suppose :D Lovely to see you 'get' this one and give us some little insights into the technical glue to ties it all together. Oh and as a complete aside, sartorially speaking, that blue dress really suits you :) I would never have guessed that blue was your colour ... guess that's why my opinions on fashion are not often listened to :chuckles:
Many of the rock musicians of this era did have some formal training and classic knowledge. I saw an old interview with David Gilmour from Pink Floyd when he was asked where he got his inspiration from and he named some old classical composers.
Ever since I heard this piece in school, back in the mid 70's in a film about drugs, I have loved it for the way Ian is screaming his heart out. Back then I didn't know who they were, though.
I'm surprised you didn't do the live version in1970. I think that's the best version of the song personally but regardless I love your take on the song. Very glad you enjoyed it.
@@quinto34 ... No way, form my humble point of view the guitar solo on "Live in Japan" is by far not as good and also the voice is not so estatic as in the 1970 version....
After having seen a couple of dozen "reactions" to this gem of a song, yours was quite interesting, with more theory in your approach than most. I am glad I watched this and am eager to watch your second part with an in-depth analysis.
Amy, joined your Ko-fi as I couldn't wait to hear your reaction - I was not disappointed! Sooooo pleased you liked it. Along with other early groups, like Sabbath and Zeppelin, all the members of DP are masters at their craft, and highly influential and inspirational to future bands. I think the highlight for me was you being caught up in the music...this is how it should be, and why rock/metal has such devoted fans! Lastly, I'm glad you waited to listen to this; I feel you were able to accept the musical style more, having experienced the genre already. As with more demanding classical pieces, it sometimes takes a fair bit of listening to rock music before you learn to like/appreciate it (I thought Metallica was nothing but noise when I first heard them...now one of my favourite bands) Can't wait for the next one...I soooo hope it's Bohemian Rhapsody, you are in for an iconic, sonic treat!
This immediately takes me back (or forward) to 31 December at around 23:00. Each year one of our radio stations plays a top 2000 (from the 25th to New Year), and this song is usually in the top 10 or 20, so it will be played in the last hour of the top 2000. It’s one of those songs I would never ever listen to myself, but it’s an integral part of New Year’s eve :)
Another great reaction which i enjoyed very much. To get an even deeper in the "symphonical" feeling in rock music, i would suggest to listen also Deep Purple but this time to the song "April" which is at least in my point of view totally underrated. I think you will love it 🙂
Leave your questions ONLY here, please!
Hi! I am enjoying your channel! Are you staring to develop a fondness for rock music?
Have you seen iron maiden hallowed be thy name live 1982
Has anyone recommended Pixies?
If not, Gouge Away, Monkey Gone To Heaven and Hey are good places to start.
They go from soft to hard regularly and are far more traditional rock 'n roll than Deep Purple.
I really like Deep Purple but think Pixies will be another string on your bow to understanding rock.
Are you going to continue with the "Amy Answers Your Question" series? It has been a while since we had one. While they may not have the highest number of views, relative to the other videos, they are very much enjoyed and appreciated by the more devoted fans of your channel.
If you ever get the chance to watch the live version of this song from 1970 it's well worth it even if you don't do a reaction.
The 1972 Live Version on Made in Japan is one of the most amazing performances ever

Widely recognised as one of the greatest live performances, by any band, ever.

I've now heard two different Deep Purple songs live, from different places, and both are pretty much on par with the studio versions, and I wouldn't had thought all those factors were possible together. It starts to look like to me, that Deep Purple knew what their studio version sounded like and strove very hard to sound like that live, even with some fairly complex stuff like Child in Time. I mean every aspect to those two songs, they're right up there with the studio, the organ, guitar, the lead, etc.
Would also suggest their song 'Lazy' I think from the same performance.
This is what happens when 5 people who are masters of their craft get together to do something special.
Please don't worry about stopping the music whenever you want to say something. We are here because we want to know your thoughts.
Agreed, and if you feel like it was a unfortunate time to stop, go back in the track when resuming like you did in this clip.
unless its in the middle of a jimmy page solo, then please dont stop it there lol
Yes, that's the point! 👍👍
she is a retard... was she hidden on a Island?
I think she's getting much better at not stopping it too much, and at least establishing a bit of a flow before she interrupts again. There was one interval I was really starting to wonder if she wasn't being completely swept away, and would forget to interrupt. That was a classic moment, seemingly almost forgetting her main mission. If you go over this video again, she's really seeing the benefit of less interruptions, I think this song broke her the best so far, into seeing there is a lot to be said for absorbing the music, becoming a part of it (as you would think she would doubtlessly so easily do in classical music). There's a lot of times she lowers her right hand, as though she plans to interrupt, or she's constantly making adjustments to the sound (unknown), and then her reaction when she finally comes back is if she should interrupt it or not. I'm telling you, she's starting to understand what some of us have been telling her, that there's a lot to be said for getting into the music, and not using the brain so much to analyze it. She's been gradually seeing the benefit of going with the flow, and this is the one that broke her. I'm not all that nuts about this song myself, but I can tell you, that's just what happened here - this one shook her prior outlook. She has this riff fascination, if she understands it is questionable (I don't for a start), so there's that too.
Deep Purple's organist, Jon Lord, and lead Guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore were both classically trained musicians. In September 1969 Jon Lord composed Concerto for Group and Orchestra which they performed at the Royal Albert Hall alongside the Royal Philharmonic orchestra conducted by sir Malcolm Arnold. It was filmed and can be found on You Tube. Lasts just under an hour.
That was they Y in their path, classical vs in Rock, In Rock with Child and Time won out and that was their direction. Lord wanted Orchestra route the rest of the band wanted the Rock direction.
Blackmore wasn't classically trained
@@JulioLeonFandinho He took lessons for a few months.
One correction, Blackmore is not classically trained (formally), but he experiments with classical music.
@@JulioLeonFandinho he took guitar lessons and learned the basic of technique and theory. Nevertheless, he obviously likes classical music (especiall renaissance, baroque and medieval) and is very much influenced by it in this music and playing.
The organ staccato like guns, the guitars like chaos, the singing like pain, great protest song.😊
I am very happy you enjoyed this so much. It has been near the top of my list of songs I wanted you to hear. My only disappointment was that you didn't do the live 1970 British TV concert, which I think has the better performances, along with having great visual quality for you to see the musicians playing their parts. A top level production and performance, and the audience is as well behaved as a classical one. You would have seen Ritchie Blackmore, one of rock's most accomplished guitarist, doing his amazing guitar solo. It needs to be visually seen, in addition to being heard, to truly appreciate it.
Update: I was really excited to hear Amy will be looking at this live version as part of her In-Depth analysis. Even if she doesn't show any clips, I think it will still be very helpful in seeing them perform this in a live context. Seeing how they keep the basic structure and feel of the song, while at the same time improvising some parts, playing them in slightly different ways from the studio and other live performances. Particularly the organ and guitar.
Yes, the live version is.... brilliant.
The live version referenced, for those who haven't seen it:
th-cam.com/video/OorZcOzNcgE/w-d-xo.html
I am relieved that Amy chose the studio version for her reaction. The 70’s live version whilst good is flawed. 1) The organ sounds like an inversion of the original “riff” and is not as good. 2) It misses that great vocal ad-lib Ian Gillan sings in the first verse who’s his sorely missing in the live version. 3) Ritchie Blackmore’s solo is far more meandering and less structured, he even makes a blatant musical mistake half way through which he recovers from. However it is loose and shows him being inattentive. 4) Gillan sings those inane and banal
lyrics at the end that bear no context to the rest of the song. I agree there are many great live versions but for me the original is perfectly formed, composed and played.
Musically the live televised version is great, but I always feel so frustrated with the directing. The cameras seem to miss, or be late to, many of the important shots.
This is the only Deep Purple song i cannot live without. Another commenter called it their crowning achievement and i heartily agree.
I've been listening to these tunes for over 50 years, today I was in tears listening to a song I've heard a gazillion times, I don't know if it nostagia, my mental health or just the beauty of this piece of music... and how it resonates today... maybe them all.
Same here, but only know this song for 30 years when I heard it in my mid teens. Seeing Amy experience it for the first time and get drawn in brought it all back. First time I heard it was at a friend's house, we were playing his dad's old records loud, had some uriah heep or led Zeppelin on, We'd started with the doors. All 4 of us were rather wasted and probably reeking of dope sitting on the floor. Well his dad came home, we were busted. He sniffed obviously, said nothing, calmly put the led Zeppelin record away. Put this album on and turned it up a bit more, sat on the couch, still silent. Blasted the whole of side A with not a word uttered, we were absorbed. Side B got put on, still not a word, he went and started barbecuing and drinking beer. One of the highlights of my life, quiet appreciation of fine art.
Hang in there brother! Don't forget to reach out and talk to someone.
Yup, it's a combination of factors. I am an old man too!😫
This song is just that amazing. I remember that when I discovered it when I was about 15 (20 years ago) I didn't like it that much, but it seems as my taste matured I can appreciate this masterpiece better...
It got me too, maybe its an age thing...i am 66...this was the sou nd of my youth, it was nice to see someone feel like i did first time i heard it.
Deep Purple has been my favorite band since 1969. So much talent. So much power. So much creativity. Unlimited technical facility and instantly identifiable sound. Ian Gillan was untouchable back in this time period! So glad you got to hear this!
Always loved this piece. My goodness the range and strength of his voice! It is like the vocals are the fifth element in the arrangement. Ian Gillan is not just a "singer". He is an instrument in an orchestration.
When you realize this is an anti-war song, it provides meaning and context to the music and why it's being played that way by the band. I love MANY Deep Purple songs, but I think this is their crowning achievement.
There Is no anti-war. War will always be, and it will be. Evil over good trying to get thru, and it will always end with a war response. Simply as it Can. Anti-war Is Strong utopia.
@@vornerbros9507 Dude, "anti-war" is just a figure of speech. There is an entire sub-genre of music labeled with the name. I wasn't making a political or philosophical statement. Just describing the song.
@Frank Pentangeli, you could class it as a Anti-war song as does Wikipedia.Having seen purple in concert back in 1969 at the Royal Albert Hall,Ian Gillian's interpretation of child in time which was in their set he describes it as a sad guy who was a loser who came third in a duel, he blew his mind out in the end.
@@simoncushing1048 The words you cite as evidence were used only once on Granada TV in 1970, and in the Albert Hall in 1969 there are not even final cries, and, moreover, there is no final text (which, by the way, changed all the time and there are no two identical final texts).
So true
Old rock and roll. They understood the great music that came before. Real musicians playing real instruments.
I loved your take on this classic!!! 👍😉😘
PLEASE do Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" - the studio version !!! I'm sure you will get a lot out of the way it is constructed and can shed some light to us plebs who know very little about music. We all know it's good but may not understand exactly why. Please, I'm sure others will echo my wishes in this simple request. Cheers
YES !!!!!
@@ivanbrousse6805 Thank you
It is one of their absolute master pieces. Long and filled to the brim with emotion, artistry and tasteful sounds. Both parts are amazing. The whole album is. Also the sad and profound back story about Syd Barrett is so important to understand more about Pink Floyd, their music and their success. In a way, one could say, there would never have been a Pink Floyd as we know it without Syd, and neither without him leaving the band. His spirit is always present, in the background of their music, I feel. Both haunting them and inspiring them. She needs to see the interviews with Roger and David about it, and learn what incredible accident happened at a recording session for the song. Shine On!!
Dynamics are the key with this piece. In one part you could hear a pin drop and in another it's like a bomb going off. Amazing musicians.
FYI the hammond organ is usually coupled with a special speaker called a leslie cabinet. It has a built in amplifier. Inside there's an 18 inch speaker which lays on it's back, pointing upwards into a spinning baffle which creates a slow phasing affect. In a seperate compartment at the top there's 2 horn speakers which spin in the opposite direction. The bottom speaker handles the bass and mid-range frequencies and the horns handle the higher frequencies. The keyboard player has a switch (usually a foot switch) which when pressed speeds up the spin and creates a vibrato sound. The hammond organ was originally designed for the church but got adopted by rock bands. If you listen to the track again you can hear the effect.
I sense that she's starting to develop a "Rock Ear" which is a bit of a different animal to a classical ear but the two can definitely co-exist and complement one another. One can deeply appreciate both.
Yngwie Malmsteen might be a good example of this.
Certainly can, I sing opera and light opera, classical, but grew up,listening to,rock
Ya , the raw bear versus the sophisticated colibri !
European classic and psychedelic rock bands did that a lot back in the heyday of rock music. Listen to bands such as Focus, Can, Amon Düül II etc., and you'll notice quickly those bands had a classical ear, too.
Nicely stated.
During the guitar solo, Amy nearly head banged! Did you see it? Amy, learn to head bang!
weve captured another one.....lol
A wonderful song, but your reaction, facial expressions and commentary added so much to my experience of it. Thank you so much for this video. It feels like showing something you love to a new friend 🙂
70's rock is going to blow your mind. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, Robin Trower, U.F.O. Styx, Heart, Rush, Grand Funk. Rainbow, Aerosmith, Nugent, to add the mid 70's to the list.
Yes indeed says the rocker in his mid sixties lol. Rock and roll man!
UFO, oh man they are great - I still listen to them and they were so under-rated.
I'd like to add Rainbow to that very nice list, if you please.
@@iDEATH And early Whitesnake. Bernie Marsden is my guitar hero. His playing got me to learn guitar.
Watch her Sabbath reaction , she blows🤯
One of the greatest songs ever written in my humble opinion. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I haven't heard this in a long time. My brother passed away in May and this was one of his favourite songs back in the day when he listened to a steady diet of Deep Purple, King Crimson, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, to name but a few. Thanks for appearing spontaneously in my suggested videos.
I might be wrong but is this the first time We seen her headbang!!! I saw her nodding her head up and down! What a priceless reaction to someone new enjoying rock for the first time!! Just like we all experienced it when we were kids! An uncontrollable feeling!
Ian's vocals still send shivers up my spine... a band at it's best., they knew what they had to do., and they did it..
Ian also recorded this song with The Ian Gillan Band.
th-cam.com/video/pwkJo9_c3fM/w-d-xo.html
One of the best songs in all music history.
Yes, Sir
@@sandrof71 💪
No, its not, sorry.....
@@ari1234a yes, it is, sorry
@@ari1234ayou know nothing. Literally nothing.
I've been listening to this music for 50 years and I enjoy it more now then in the beginning. It is very satisfying to the ear. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I agree. It's a fabulous piece of music. I'm glad you enjoyed it. In may 1970 the last Beatles album "Let it be" was released and in june the album "Deep Purple in Rock" (with "Child in time" on it) followed and started a new era in rock music.
Jon Lord was genius, he brought Rock and classic together.
Lord, Wakeman and Emerson…throw in argent too
These videos are great. I listened to Deep Purple many years ago. Now, after catching your videos, I’m listening to them all over again. Wonderful stuff. ... Child In Time is a masterpiece. Everything about it: the voice, the keyboards, the guitar, the melody. Everything fits perfectly. I can’t imagine anyone who would not be impressed by it. A true classic.
It is worth paying attention to the drums in this piece. This is a perfect example of everything that has recently been discussed about drums on your channel. From military roots to solo (almost) performances. Everything perfectly intertwined with the rest of the music and serving it.
Agreed! Surprised the drums don't even get a mention. I love the way they build throughout the piece.
Agreed. Ian paice is a fantastic drummer!!
@@piersgooderham8674 Yes. Surprise is the right word.
The malicious part of me tells me that "Neil Peart, Drum Solo" might be related to it somehow, but of course it's a matter of taste.😊
This song is such a tremendous song! Such a journey!! Glad you listened to this! Ian Gillan always stands out to me as a singer. It doesn't hurt that one of the rock albums of my parents that I listened to back then was my dad's Jesus Christ Superstar album (the concept album with Ian Gillan as Jesus) and that to this day I can always put that on and just get lost in it! And Deep Purple as a band is such a tremendous group of musicians. I saw them in the 80s and they stand out as one of my favorite groups to see live.
The incredible Ritchie Blackmore on guitar.... one of my very favorite rock bands of all-time....
Amy, I loved your reaction! For some reason I was really happy when you said, “This is a fabulous piece of music.” I was going to vote for ‘Allegro Vivace’ but when I looked up the definition of ‘riff’ I realized that the three note theme in this song is indeed a riff. Live and learn.
I don’t think I’ve listened to this song for 40+ years. Just a few seconds in I realized what was missing - the scratchety pop of vinyl lol. I would never have thought this as one of my favourite rock songs but I was really happy as the music progressed😅 and I actually achieved a very pleasant state of meditative absorption. So thank you and Vlad for what you do :-)
p.s. I’d like to suggest the Door’s song “Light my Fire” (1967). A Bach-influenced organ intro, great vocals and melody and a wonderful keyboard solo. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998 but I haven’t seen the Doors or this song recommended yet (I haven’t read all the comments to all your vids). I think you will find the song a very interesting, informative and enjoyable side note in your exploration of the history of rock.
This song is one of the most deeply spiritual songs ever created and made real.
Deep Purple released an album before this where they played with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and it was around the same time when lead singer Ian Gillan performed vocals for Jesus Christ Superstar. Not only were they well acquainted with classical music, but they had very serious practice sessions. This song is a rock masterpiece, and if you really want to hear impressive improvisation, I refer you to their live version of this song on the album "Made in Japan". By the way, I love this channel!
I love the "Concerto for group and orchestra" (composed by John Lord), performed live by Deep Purple and the Royal Philarmonic Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall.
Still have my father's LP.
There is another live version recorded in a TV studio in 1970 that is amazing
That Deep Purple lineup was amazing for the whole 2 years when they kinda got along.
This song is an absolute masterpiece. End of story!❤️😊
Here's the begining of the story: th-cam.com/video/UyeTxuXmrWU/w-d-xo.html
I love the reaction of classically trained musicians!! They far surpass the knowledge that us mere mortals have, when it comes to music, fluttering angels of the World of Audio Wonderment!
Deep Purple... one of those rare bands where all the individual artists are just so good that no one eclipses the other. Vocals, drums, bass, lead guitar, keyboard... it doesn't matter, they are all so equally excellent and balanced that the result is jaw-dropping music. So expressive, so full. For another awesome DP track, try 'Perfect Strangers'.
This song came out in 1970. NO added enhancements just raw pure talent from all 5 of these guys. My all time favorite song by them. Ritchie Blackmore is one of the greatest ( almost unrecognized) guitarist in the world. Listen to some of his music from Rainbow and of course much more Deep Purple.
As a note of trivia Purple was playing Child in Time in 1969 and it was one of the opening tunes for Purple’s Concerto for Group and Orchestra recorded live in Sept 1969
When these five men got together they produced some of the finest music ever. Each of them are excellent at their instruments (Ian Gillian vocalist). It is too bad they could not stay together.
First time I heard this song I nearly cried. The first guitar solo hits so hard. Classic track
As an older Rocker, musician, and guitarist, I have a great deal of respect for you in taking on the Rock genre like you are. You're really digging into the meat and potatoes of where it's started. I hope you continue the journey and possibly delve into some of the heavier (Metal) areas at some point. Great work!!
I could see by your body language and small smiles that you were enjoying this performance. Great reaction to a great song!
It's wonderful to see someone widening their musical appreciation spectrum and really enjoying the experience. I find in most genres of music marketing dictates what most people hear and it's often good to search other avenues to see the gems that lie undiscovered beneath the tip of the iceberg.
Thanks!
Yes, not all guitar solos are equal. A truly great guitar solo is an integral part of the song and is a composition within the song too.
Every time i watch a first impression video of songs and bands we just took for granted in the 70's I'm just overwhelmed at the pride i feel when a younger generation discovered the magic we knew so well...
We were lucky to have been teenagers in this era...
That song is a masterpiece!
Great choice, this is easily one of the best rock songs of all time, it was very influential and it's a great example of how to do dynamics
I'm still getting goosebumps and shivers down my spine, listening to that song.
So glad to see you did the studio version
why when the 1970 live version is far superior
@@WillyEckaslike i find the guitar solo better and clearer in the studio version. Don't get me wrong , the live version is great, I've watched it many times. I just feel the first impression should be the studio version . The other option is anything off of "Made in Japan "
Me too. The song begins with a Hammond organ melody that sets the mood for the song. And I think that's crucial for the whole concept of the composition. Unfortunately, the live version lacks the depth of the intro and thus greatly demotes the perception of the track IMO.
hi, I'm Tony Zecchinelli from Rome Italy.
I really enjoyed the expressions on your face while you were listening to Child in Time by Deep Purple. I've been playing since I was 11 and I've never studied music or better I've only had 5 lessons from a blind music teacher who taught me all the chords, the relative reverses of the chords and all the scales and the turn of the third and fourth finger when making musical scales - I have never been able to play someone else's music but I have always composed my music by improvising and I can't even repeat my own because because with only 5 lessons and all 5 lessons only practical lessons it is therefore logical that I don't know how to read or write music but I don't miss it at all if I can't read or write it but I love composing and I really enjoyed your TH-cam channel where a true classical musician listens rock because it is beautiful for me to see your expressions on your face which means that rock music that comes directly from our soul like jazz and not from the paper of the musical pentagramma, however rock manages to create emotion even for those musicians who have a different musical culture and this is beautiful. So thank you for showing your emotions by listening to the Rock classics of the late 60s and early 70s but then after 1973 rock got contaminated with disco music and everything became mediocrity.
Best version is live on 'Made in Japan' album. My favorite live album of all times.
Very happy to see such a professional and honest analysis from someone new to the discovery of rock'roll. Emotional. Some of us our age experienced the birth of the great groups that you are analyzing and we know how much better their concerts were, freedom was breathed, an explosion of adrenaline and feeling, wild dance. Rock. I suggest that even if it is just for you that you see their performances live. You will be amazed
It's worth to mention all the great musicians, who created this masterpiece. It's rhe so called MK2 lineup of rhe band, considered by most fans as the best one. It's Ian Gillan on lead vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord on Hammond organ, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums.
It's also worth to mention Bombay Calling by It's a Beautiful Day th-cam.com/video/UyeTxuXmrWU/w-d-xo.html
Wow! Found this by accident, but it's a wee bit of an inspiration....someone going outside their norm or comfort zone. Trying new stuff .hats off I salute you .👍 .
Ian Paice is a seriously underrated participant in the song. His drumming adds so much to the chaotic nature and feeling of this song.
Loving this song since 50 years I had tears in my eyes watching her experiencing it 🥰
Another captive of Ian Gillian's fantastic voice and lung capacity. So jealous of you having the first meet with him in front of you
So glad to listen to this along with you, Amy. Parts of this song make my hair stand on end, every time. Shout out to Ian Paice. Very engaging and shifting syncopations and fills that allow the repetitive aspects in the organ and bass to continue without becoming monotonous. Propulsive playing, but simultaneously leaving plenty of space.
I can see I’m gonna love this channel!
Sometimes when I read "First Listen and Reaction" I can't believe someone listen to such songs really the first time😊
After seeing her reaction to this classic work, I so hope that Amy will someday listen to Shine on You Crazy Diamond off of Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. It has a certain beautiful minimalism, while all the time progressing through a long series of very distinct passages.
I'm so glad you've been doing thus. I've been a huge rock music fan for decades. I helped my daughter go through and graduate the Suzuki piano method and picked up piano for myself and studied classical music.
Child In Time on the live Made in Japan Album...even more epic!
Strange Kind of Woman also on Made In Japan has a call and response between the vocal and guitar that is awesome!
The version of "Lazy" found in the Made in Japan album is much more awesome than the studio one. Especially the intro, which plays pinball music for some bars.
Agreed 🙂 I feel the Made in Japan album has the best versions of all the songs on it. The quality, clarity and power of the sound is fabulous .
@@Simpleburger1968 100% Agree! To this day one of the best live recordings I've heard.
This is my all time favourite song EVER and from one of the four best bands in the world. You do not need to understand it - simply close your eyes and feel it and let it fill your mind and body and soul.
The singer, Ian Gillan, is usually regarded as one of the greats, when it comes to rock singers, especially hard rock singers. People like him, along with others regarded as greats are, Robert Plant,[Led Zeppelin] Paul Rogers,[Free, Bad Company] Freddie Mercury, [Queen.]
Don't forget Bruce Dickinson and, obviously, Ronnie James Dio, by far the most technically accomplished of them all!
I was ten years old,I found' a drumset in the warehouse of the barracks where my father worked (he was a career soldier,there in Italy), I started 'to beat this old drumset'..... I heard '"Chid in time",and I took out' the drums parts ,and I recorded it !!!!. I would pay millions to listen to that tape now!
Jon Lord (RIP) was a classically trained master musician and innovator. He loved JS Bach, Medieval, Elgar, Blues and Jazz. His approach to using the Hammond C3 organ in a Hard Rock context was two fold: 1) where his contemporaries would play an organ using the same technique as playing piano, Jon used a legato technique; 2) Jon sent the audio output of the organ into a Marshall guitar amp then the output of the guitar amp to the Leslie Speakers. Jon use of the Marshall guitar amp matched up with the Marshall amps that Ritchie Blackmore was using to get the oomph and distortion of Hard Rock. Jon also used an Electric Piano and Harpsicord within the Deep Purple context.
🎸😎
I remember a demonstration by Jon showing what happens when you plug an organ into a Marshall amp !!!!
You are sooo loveful! symphatic! You send so much positive energie out! from You, i thank You so much!!! You are Beautyful, someone special! thank You so much! for this reaction
The power comes from the simplicity of the riff. It makes it versatile and work at every level of intensity. The dynamics take it from there and you're left with a great framework for the solos.
Some of my ealiest childhood memories, are if Ian Gillan singing.
🤘🧙♂️🤘
Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
You as a young, talented and musical person can be grateful for being able to dig into the masterpieces of yesterday, not many masterpieces being created today...I am also surprised that you said this was the first time you had heard an organ in a rock song. Tells something about the sonic poverty of the past decades of pop and rock music. But with all respect to you.
Deep Purple, grande entre los grandes. Ahi quedó su gran legado. Me gustan las expresiones de esta mujer , a medida que va escuchando el tema, lo siente.
I've been listening for this song for 36 years, since I was 8. Still getting goose skin and carried along by it... So happy it's been with me all these years.
Gillan's got the greatest voice in rock.
I have been enjoying all your reviews. Thank you for taking us on your journey.
Thank you for this. Deep purple were simply wonderful musicians
It's wonderful to see your musical heart and mind grow before our very eyes, through your refreshing immersion into musical styles outside your usual "box." Your analyses are fantastic and always instructive. I started classical guitar studies 8 months ago after 50+ years of playing folk, rock, and blues. So I identify with the same sort of excitement but in the context of immersion into classical guitar and classical music. Keep up the great work, Amy! And best regards from Detroit.
important to note that Jon Lord (the organ player) has also composed orchestral music
The two worlds are a lot closer than many believe them to be.
His Sarabande album is a masterpiece
This brilliant song means so much to me. I was 17 years old when I really listened to it and at 18 I was an infantry soldier fighting in the Rhodesian war. That was in 1974.
This was the next big was after the Vietnam war.
When you've experienced 'flying lead' and 'ricochets' these words send a chill..... Actually that's what blinded me in my right eye. A ricochet.
Going to the
Amy, you have now heard all 3 of the " Unholy Trinity ", Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. From these 3 acorns the hard / heavy rock tree bloomed.
You mentioned the Galloping Bass, remember this as you will undoubtely do an Iron Maiden song and hear the God of the Gallop ( Steve Harris ), The Trooper shows this best.
You also heard Ian Gillan perform one of the first "Screamer" songs, a whole sub-genre of heavy metal will appear 40ish years after this recording using this singing method.
You forgot Queensrysche ‘Take hold of the flame’ live in Tokyo. A vocal & musical masterpiece.
CHILD IN TIME-You betcha! I heard of em when I was attending Mount Saint Michael Academy High School Bronx New York Sophomore year 1972. Song released 1970. Today song is as FRESH and NEW when I first listened to and heard it back then!!!!!!!!!! Today's music......Don't even try to compare compete with 70's ROCK!
This was my late father's favorite song ever.
I really like how she dresses. She is very attractive. I love his curiosity. She is a splendid woman.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but another Deep Purple song, Smoke On The water, has, in the first ten or twenty seconds, the riff that, in a way, started it all. That's the riff that the guitar teacher told you about. It's so simple in execution and yet so iconic and recognizable that any guitar player since, as soon as they learned to play a chord, tried to copy.
Think of it this way: most of the time when you're humming a rock tune under your breath, you're actually humming the riff.
That riff is basically Beethovens 5’th backwards.
Ritchie Blackmore “stole” it.
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 Plus he varied the order of the notes from the maestro's version.
Wonderful reaction. I’m jumping straight over to the deeper look video.
You need to listen to the "Concerto for group and orchestra", by Deep Purple. It´s beautiful.
I don't know how I missed this one, dear lady :) Better late to the party than never I suppose :D
Lovely to see you 'get' this one and give us some little insights into the technical glue to ties it all together.
Oh and as a complete aside, sartorially speaking, that blue dress really suits you :) I would never have guessed that blue was your colour ... guess that's why my opinions on fashion are not often listened to :chuckles:
Many of the rock musicians of this era did have some formal training and classic knowledge. I saw an old interview with David Gilmour from Pink Floyd when he was asked where he got his inspiration from and he named some old classical composers.
Ever since I heard this piece in school, back in the mid 70's in a film about drugs, I have loved it for the way Ian is screaming his heart out. Back then I didn't know who they were, though.
I'm surprised you didn't do the live version in1970. I think that's the best version of the song personally but regardless I love your take on the song. Very glad you enjoyed it.
For me Live in Japan version is even better
@@quinto34 ... No way, form my humble point of view the guitar solo on "Live in Japan" is by far not as good and also the voice is not so estatic as in the 1970 version....
After having seen a couple of dozen "reactions" to this gem of a song, yours was quite interesting, with more theory in your approach than most. I am glad I watched this and am eager to watch your second part with an in-depth analysis.
Amy, joined your Ko-fi as I couldn't wait to hear your reaction - I was not disappointed! Sooooo pleased you liked it. Along with other early groups, like Sabbath and Zeppelin, all the members of DP are masters at their craft, and highly influential and inspirational to future bands. I think the highlight for me was you being caught up in the music...this is how it should be, and why rock/metal has such devoted fans! Lastly, I'm glad you waited to listen to this; I feel you were able to accept the musical style more, having experienced the genre already. As with more demanding classical pieces, it sometimes takes a fair bit of listening to rock music before you learn to like/appreciate it (I thought Metallica was nothing but noise when I first heard them...now one of my favourite bands) Can't wait for the next one...I soooo hope it's Bohemian Rhapsody, you are in for an iconic, sonic treat!
Your first opinion about Metallica was correct- they are terrible
@jonncockrell3606 you forgot to add "in my opinion", artistry being subjective, and all that.
This immediately takes me back (or forward) to 31 December at around 23:00. Each year one of our radio stations plays a top 2000 (from the 25th to New Year), and this song is usually in the top 10 or 20, so it will be played in the last hour of the top 2000. It’s one of those songs I would never ever listen to myself, but it’s an integral part of New Year’s eve :)
Love you and love how you speak and apreciate music (sorry for my english) greatings forma 🇦🇷 argentina ❤
Amy, it was great to hear your reaction to this song as I really look forward to your detailed analysis.
Самый мощный самый красивый голос Спасибо Ричи за этот Бриллиант - песня аранжировка Ис😊полнение,!!!!
Another great reaction which i enjoyed very much. To get an even deeper in the "symphonical" feeling in rock music, i would suggest to listen also Deep Purple but this time to the song "April" which is at least in my point of view totally underrated. I think you will love it 🙂
