You'll get the "go hear the live version" recommendation a lot, and for good reason. It is incredible. However, I'll say this: it has been a very long time since I've heard the studio version -- it was almost like hearing a new song, and I enjoyed it. Thanks!
Oh man you have to hear the live 1970 version of this song. This is the roots of heavy metal right here. Sabbath, zeppelin and purple are called the unholy trinity. A rare band where every member is amazing.
Instead of a church, picture a soldier in the jungle, tired, soaking wet and blinded by the heavy vegetation just firing into the charging NVA soldiers he cannot see with them firing back at him. In the live version he commits suicide. Powerful.
Even though the recording quality of the vocal is better on the live version, the guitar solo on this studio version, which has got to be one of the greatest electric guitar solo's in the history of recorded music, is better than the live version.
No había visto tu canal, gracias por traer a la más grande banda de todos los tiempos!! Hace 50 años (al menos) que escucho a Deep Purple, jamás me han decepcionado... aunque la banda ha tenido un par de formaciones distintas, con David Coverdale como cantante. Nadie ha podido superar a Ian Gillan!! Te lo imaginas como el jorobado de Notre Dam? 😅 Gillan es ( fué en los 70s) el hombre más hermoso 😍!!! Por favor, trata de ver los videos, hay pocos pero muy lindos. Canción favorita? En realidad amo a Deep Purple y me gusta todo de ellos 😃 Gracias, gracias!!! Me suscribo con la esperanza de volver a ver tus reacciones a ésta grandiosa banda ❤ Un abrazo cariñoso!! 💜💜💜💜💜
I've been listening the rock legends for 40 years, but never gave Purple much thought. Now I'm blown away. I've discovered 50 year old music at age 50. Thanks
To keep with this theme, are you familiar with Rainbow? Ritchie Blackmore left DP in 1975 to form Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio on vocals. "Stargazer" is a must listen if you haven't heard it. You might know them from the 80s when they were more top 40, but the Dio years are on another level, especially live. On TH-cam check out their 1977 Munich concert. It was filmed and the audio is very good. The songs "Mistreated", "Catch the Rainbow" and "16th Century Greensleeves" really stand out.
This was the song that was played when I delivered my daughter at a home birth! 100% you need to hear the live 1970 version...so much more expressive and the improvisation is mesmerizing! You can't really appreciate the power of Ian Gillan's voice in the studio version! He's a vocal rock god!
So glad you discovered this song and Deep Purple in general they are a great band with an amazing catalogue of songs. Ian Paice one of the unsung legends of the drums, John Lord the pinnacle of rock Hammond B3 playing, Roger Glover a bass suprimo, Ritchie Blackmore one of the all time great guitarists and Ian Gillan unequalled on vocals, what a line up, what a band.
DEEP PURPLE- In no particular order- 1. Hush 2. Kentucky Woman (single version) 3. Black Night 4. Speed King (U.S. album version) 5. Child in Time 6. Strange Kind of Woman 7. Fireball 8. Demon’s Eye 9. Highway Star 10. Smoke on the Water 11. Space Truckin’ 12. Woman From Tokyo 13. Burn 14. Stormbringer 15. Knocking at Your Back Door
Deep Purple is a deep rabbit hole, one tremendous track after another. You should try the live version of Highway Star off of Made in Japan, they are at their peak and it starts off one of the very best live albums ever. Try it, you will love it! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
… Rock music is explained like this: there is a lead guitar, an organ, a bass, a singer, a drummer ... and there is DEEP PURPLE !!! MASTERPIECE 💎!! There is nothing more to say! … 🎸🎹🥁🎤 Thank you
This is still my favorite hard rock song of all time. When I heard this in 1970 is was ten and I was forever a Deep Purple fan. So much so my son knows this is the ALBUM they have to play at my funeral
And for what it's worth, just Listen to Made in Japan . I still have my original copy from 74. I made it a habit to put a new stylus on my turntables every Jan 1 st til this day. Then Rainbow live in Munch followed by phenomenal Strangers in the night by overlooked UFO
Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, after leaving the band in 1975, formed Rainbow, where together with Ronnie James Dio, who later replaced Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath, he recorded probably the most epic song the rock world has ever produced: Stargazer. On drums sat Cozy Powell, and so it happened that one of the best guitarists of all time played with one of the best drummers of all time and the best singer of all time for a short time in a band. Absolutely worth listening to, also concerning the lyrics. Dio has begun here to sing about his mystical worlds. I have already seen videos on TH-cam that deal only with the interpretation of this song...
LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING TO REPEAT WHAT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE ARE ALREADY SAYING WHICH IS THE LIVE VERSION OF THIS SONG, WHICH I BELIEVE IS A ON A BBC SHOW IN 1970 OR '71, IS PHENOMENAL!! IF YOU THINK THIS STUDIO TRACK IS AWESOME WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THE LIVE VERSION!!
I wonder where the organ went after driving so many rock songs in the late 60s. Deep Purple, Steppenwolf. And then came the synth, which replaced it. I much prefer to he depth and power of the Hammond B3.
You should definitely check out more Deep Purple, they are a severely underrated band and are some of the fathers of modern hard rock/heavy metal music.
The live version is way better IMO, they are one of my favorite bands of all time. Please react to Perfect strangers when you have a chance it’s 🔥🔥🔥😤👌🏻 Gillan has one of the most iconic recognizable raw voice, and John Lord and Blackmore are just unbelievable 🤯🤯🫠🫠🔥
Humbly beg to differ... just because the guitar solos in the live versions don't even come close to the focus, precision, controlled build up and sheer melodic beauty of the solo here, in the studio original. Take care.
Glad you enjoyed it :) I agree with the other comments about the live versions, still the album is special to me, I remember a party at my home when I was like 14 or so and Deep Purple in Rock was basically the only music that played again and again :)
One of my first prog. albums.... on vinyl of course. Can't understand why its not remembered as one of the top 10 classic albums from that era. Also played it over and over.
Um - my take - this is one of rock's best songs, and this version kicks butt on the live performance, although that one is pretty good, the studio version is so much better sonically and artistically.
Humbly beg to differ... just because the guitar solos in the live versions don't even come close to the focus, precision, controlled build up and sheer melodic beauty of the solo here, in the studio original. Take care.
@@mancebo7 … I like the studio version better! Maybe because I grew up with it and still listen to it after 53 years😄! ... Organ, guitar and drums are implemented perfectly!! A MASTERPIECE 💎
You can hear part of the origins of thrash music on this album in a couple of tracks. The guitar work on Speedking and Flight of the Rat are distinctively thrashy.
I had the pleasure of seeing Black Sabbath with Ian Gillian in Toronto back in 83. He is one of a very few singers that sounds as good if not better live. Amazing!!!
I’ve never heard this called prog, but it makes absolute sense. Deep Purple is usually paired with Zeppelin and Black Sabbath as triad of proto-metal….and I’ve never agreed with that. All musicians in this band are iconic: Ian Paice, drummer; Jon Lord, keyboards; Ritchie Blackmore, lead guitar. I’m spacing on the bassist. Top tier, all of them. Blackmore doesn’t get the creds that he should. One of the best, but not as well known as many others.
Deep purple here in America are the forgotten band anywhere else outside of North America They are on the same level as Zepplin for influence and stature.
Bombay Calling is a wonderful song by the San Francisco band Its a Beautiful Day. They wrote that melody. Deep Purple also coppied a Ricky Nelson melody and turned it into a song called: Black Night. This was before everyone started suing each other over BS copywrite issues.
I forgot how good Richie Blackmore was. I heard he played exceptionally loud in concert. Maybe that's why he plays a quiet acoustic show now. That's if he's still here.
Ritchie is an awesome guitarist, he is still making music with Blackmore's Night. They are very good, check them out some time. His wife Candice is the singer. "Fires at Midnight", "Second Element", "Loreley" are great songs.
One of the best comments I've heard from someone who listens to this song for the first time. If you want more prog material, choose from the album Fireball - Fools, No One Came, No No No, Mule, etc. And the rest of the material is more hard rock, but great.
A epic track, but really needs to be one of the live versions, so you get to hear them going off on one. Deep Purple is very much a live band, and their songs tend to shine more when they get jammin. It's like the Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii recordings vs the studio album versions.
If you want to hear them really blaze, check out the song Highway Star from their iconic Machine Head album. It's a few years later than this I think. And in fact, any song on that album is pretty amazing. But what's interesting about Sweet Child In Time and you saying that it reminded you maybe of a movie, is that they used it in the third episode of the new Netflix German television show, 1899. It's the same husband and wife team that did Dark a few years ago. Dark was probably the best thing I've ever observed on television I just can't believe it. And so everybody was waiting so anxiously for their next work and it was dropped I don't know a month or so ago. Anyway they use it at the end of the third episode. This song. I will always love everything about this band. But it is always a treat to hear Jon Lord on the organ. He plays other keyboards sometimes but that's his main gig is playing a Hammond organ through a Marshall stack so it's loud and distorted and he often does unison stuff with either the bass guitar or the lead guitar. Except when he's soloing. And so he is technically part of the rythym section most of the time. And I'm glad you pointed that out about the rhythm section, to me that's the first thing I listen to. If you can get that in your head as the foundation, everything else just pops even harder. Partly that's because I have played both bass and drums, although I'm primarily a guitar player keyboard player trumpet player and singer. Ian has a great rock and roll voice. He is incredible. And what he was doing there with that scream singing is truly astounding. There wasn't really anything like it at the time although it wasn't many years later until people were attempting to replicate that in the emerging heavy metal scene. And it's still a staple of that kind of singing today. Also, he notably sang the role of Jesus Christ in the Broadway play Jesus Christ Superstar before it was made into a movie. I think in the early 70s. It's on the soundtrack for the Broadway play.
You just watch an amazing band and artist , do you feel like you are… "Inside Looking Out" ; headed "In To the Sun"; well then you might be ready to explore this band. Another good song is " I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home"
Love it! And yes agree, yet another band that's better live. Their live album Made in Japan is a beaut. On that, if you're planning on circling back to The Who at some stage, a lot of people think their best album is Live at Leeds. Also think you'd love Who's Next.
Great review SyedRewinds- great to get back to these tracks- takes us to another dimension . Themes as potent today- will humanity ever learn? Try SpeedKing next!
Good call on the King Crimson similarities. Deep Purple bridged the gap between Jazzy Prog and Heavy Metal, and were one of the founders of the latter genre. Without DP there'd be no Metallica, no Black Sabbath, no Alice in Chains, no Tool. Four amazing musicians - Jon Lord's keyboards in particular are always fantastic. As others will no doubt tell you, their "Smoke on the Water" is one of the biggest hits of all time, with the most famous riff ever.
Don’t disagree with most of your comment. But predating black sabbath doom rock already existed before even purple and sabbath. Sabbath was just the band that wholly took to that style
DEEP PURPLE is my favorite band!!! Thanks for the reaction. You must listen to the live version of "Child in time" and "I only want to say (Gethsemane)" of Jesus Christ Super Star. Ian Gillan (Deep Purple's vocalist) sang the role of Jesus. His talent can be appreciated in that piece of music as well.
Like a lot of great groups, the live version is much better than the studio version! Studio versions are controlled by producers. When doing a live version the musicians are doing exactly what they want, the way they want, with passion!
Humbly beg to differ... just because the guitar solos in the live versions don't even come close to the focus, precision, controlled build up and sheer melodic beauty of the solo here, in the studio original. Take care.
@@mancebo7 the studio versions are totally controlled by the record companies. when groups are in front of an audience it's their passion that comes out. most groups can sound good in a studio with all the electronics and computer controls but when they're live it's pure talent. You're lucky, all you have to do to enjoy it, is listen to the radio or watch a video of an album cover, Not a lot of passion there!
@@dougca7086 YOU don't find a lot of passion there - I do. Richie Blackmore VERY RARELY did better live solos than the ones he did in the studio. On stage he was tipically more worried about looking cool and being show-offish than on musicianship proper. Everyone can play with passion. I can play with passion... but since I'm not a good musician my guitar playing still sucks. I'm talking about musicianship, not passion.
Dam it took me into my 20's to get PF I'm 60 now & still can't get this 1. That's OK I recognize great musicianship when I hear it. DP always has kicked ass & always will. RB is top 10 guitarist for sure.
One of the most iconic guitar solos of all time! Did you notice that the drummer kick the bass-drum all the way through near the end? Wanna listen to some of my music? th-cam.com/video/tadiK-_5iSk/w-d-xo.html
There is often good and bad in war , ( relative ) There are the takers and the defenders,,, Those led astray by those who want to take are to a certain extent guilty with them,
What a great song about the ww2 and unfortunately as relevant today as it was back then. Thanks for sharing. I think you should listen to DP "made in japan" and comment here. This is one of the best live albums ever recorded. Best wishes @all from hamburg (germany).
The live version in 1970 approx on live FRENCH TV - is not only better, but a testament to live talent. Would strongly, strongly recommend to watch and review the live Paris tv version - one of the best live performances ever on tv and stage. It will blow any critics mind - as to the testament of Gillians voice;
Studio version is good, but it's restrained from the live. I'll wait for the live version so you can hear the way it was meant to sound instead of what the record label wanted.
I see a lot preferring the live version from 1970, and I understand that since it's is both audio and video. But there's no comparison to the lice version on Made In Japan. That's the best version, but unfortunately only audio.
THERE'S A SCHOOL OF THOUGHT THAT BELIEVES THAT THIS SONG COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN THE REASON WHY IAN GILLIAN LEFT DEEP PURPLE!! LONG STORY SHORT RITCHIE BLACKMORE WOULD AMBUSH HIM BY GOING INTO THIS SONG AFTER IAN HAD INSISTED THEY NOT DO IT ON CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS DURING LIVE TOURS!! AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THE STRAIN ON THE VOCAL CORDS NIGHT AFTER NIGHT GETTING UP TO THAT HIGH NOTE COULD BE DEVASTATING!! BLACKMORE DID THAT ONCE TOO MANY TIMES!!
It's a great song but I find it frustrating that there's no ultimate version of it. I mean, this is the studio version and it's great and all, but Gillian's vocals are MUCH more powerful live. Here, they're double tracked and sound softer, but live, he's screaming with POWER. On the other hand, the instrumental section is better than any live version, in my opinion. And to make matters even more annoying, the end section is much better on the studio version. Live, it often sounded a bit silly. So yeah, I guess the ultimate version for me would be one of the live versions from Japan for the verses and the screaming, and then the studio version for the instrumental section plus the ending.
@@SpaceCattttt It’s unfortunate that you’re not mature enough to admit you were wrong in misspelling his name, but unlike your previous ignorance, your present arrogance is now your choice.
The band let loose live, remove the studio shackles..... even the screams are louder and richer. Beware those who will advise The Made in Japan version live. The 1970 live version made by Granada tv for the BBC is the best rock performance ever.......as good as 1994 Pink Floyd “ Pulse” ( PF are not really Rock-lol ). As good as Farnham with the MSO......again, Farnham is not rock either, just musical genius.
That tv version is only popular because it's a video. It's very good, yes, but inferior to the nearly 20 minute version from Stockholm 1970. Blackmore is in better form and Lord solos too.
@@bookhouseboy280 I haven’t heard the Stockholm version.... thanks for the info. I have heard the Made in Japan a few times now and hate the tone and sound quality.
You'll get the "go hear the live version" recommendation a lot, and for good reason. It is incredible. However, I'll say this: it has been a very long time since I've heard the studio version -- it was almost like hearing a new song, and I enjoyed it. Thanks!
Oh man you have to hear the live 1970 version of this song. This is the roots of heavy metal right here. Sabbath, zeppelin and purple are called the unholy trinity. A rare band where every member is amazing.
Yes definitely it just hits so much harder live. These bands did their best work live, the album is actually very tame in comparison.
No version was ever the same live either. They just freestyled this shit sometimes
You did not hear Child in Time until you heard the 1970 Live version
@@WKhaneI think the studio version is far better.
@@beawsbiz I don't think that one is better than the other.
They have a different vibe.
Ian Paice is by far my favorite rock drummer from this era. His feel is perfect.
Instead of a church, picture a soldier in the jungle, tired, soaking wet and blinded by the heavy vegetation just firing into the charging NVA soldiers he cannot see with them firing back at him. In the live version he commits suicide. Powerful.
Please watch the live version asap also. Mind blowing. Imo better than studio
Yeah, but which one?
Apples and oranges, both are great in their own right:)
Even though the recording quality of the vocal is better on the live version, the guitar solo on this studio version, which has got to be one of the greatest electric guitar solo's in the history of recorded music, is better than the live version.
@@SpaceCattttt th-cam.com/video/OorZcOzNcgE/w-d-xo.html
Yes please - it's unbelievable - 1970 live BBC show
Easily one of the greatest pieces of music ever, super talented musicians for that time and his scream is haunting

React to Deep Purple - Child In Time - Live (1970)!!!
Yeah, i think most people would completely agree with everything you said about that song. Definitely nailed the intersubjective message of this song.
DEEP PURPLE-
In no particular order-
1. Hush
2. Kentucky Woman (single version)
3. Black Night
4. Speed King (U.S. album version)
5. Child in Time
6. Strange Kind of Woman
7. Fireball
8. Demon’s Eye
9. Highway Star
10. Smoke on the Water
11. Space Truckin’
12. Woman From Tokyo
13. Burn
14. Stormbringer
15. Knocking at Your Back Door
16. for something a little different, their version of The Beatles' track Help! is mesmerising and kicks several kinds of ass.
Prefer 4 UK album version.
One of the best anti-War songs ever written, IMO but the 1970 LIVE version is better :)
#masterpiece
Yes the live one is the best version I've seen 😉

Ian Gillan is one of the best rock vocalists of all time. Certainly in the top 5, and possibly my own very favorite.
And great as Jesus.. Garden of Gethsemane song makes me cry every time
Let's call out Jon Lord on keyboards; a musical genius and composer, he brought amazing organ textures to Deep Purple songs that were copied widely.
This is still my favorite hard rock song of all time. When I heard this in 1970 is was ten and I was forever a Deep Purple fan. So much so my son knows this is the ALBUM they have to play at my funeral

You just watch an amazing band and artist , do you feel like you are… "Inside Looking Out" ; headed "In To the Sun"; well then you might be ready to explore this band. Another good song is " I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home"
Great reaction, man.
You should do a full album reaction of machine head. Their most influential album for hard rock imo.
Deep Purple, how cool. That ending reminded me of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, his song Fire. Peace.
I SAW THEM LIVE IN BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND. (FANTASTIC)
- Did anyone mention the live version?
- Haha :D
Love it! And yes agree, yet another band that's better live. Their live album Made in Japan is a beaut.
On that, if you're planning on circling back to The Who at some stage, a lot of people think their best album is Live at Leeds. Also think you'd love Who's Next.
Great review SyedRewinds- great to get back to these tracks- takes us to another dimension . Themes as potent today- will humanity ever learn?
Try SpeedKing next!
Good call on the King Crimson similarities. Deep Purple bridged the gap between Jazzy Prog and Heavy Metal, and were one of the founders of the latter genre. Without DP there'd be no Metallica, no Black Sabbath, no Alice in Chains, no Tool. Four amazing musicians - Jon Lord's keyboards in particular are always fantastic. As others will no doubt tell you, their "Smoke on the Water" is one of the biggest hits of all time, with the most famous riff ever.
Don’t disagree with most of your comment. But predating black sabbath doom rock already existed before even purple and sabbath. Sabbath was just the band that wholly took to that style
@@doscwolny2221 Good point. Should've checked the timeline :)
DEEP PURPLE is my favorite band!!! Thanks for the reaction. You must listen to the live version of "Child in time" and "I only want to say (Gethsemane)" of Jesus Christ Super Star. Ian Gillan (Deep Purple's vocalist) sang the role of Jesus. His talent can be appreciated in that piece of music as well.
Like a lot of great groups, the live version is much better than the studio version! Studio versions are controlled by producers. When doing a live version the musicians are doing exactly what they want, the way they want, with passion!
Humbly beg to differ... just because the guitar solos in the live versions don't even come close to the focus, precision, controlled build up and sheer melodic beauty of the solo here, in the studio original. Take care.
@@mancebo7 the studio versions are totally controlled by the record companies. when groups are in front of an audience it's their passion that comes out. most groups can sound good in a studio with all the electronics and computer controls but when they're live it's pure talent. You're lucky, all you have to do to enjoy it, is listen to the radio or watch a video of an album cover, Not a lot of passion there!
@@dougca7086 YOU don't find a lot of passion there - I do. Richie Blackmore VERY RARELY did better live solos than the ones he did in the studio. On stage he was tipically more worried about looking cool and being show-offish than on musicianship proper. Everyone can play with passion. I can play with passion... but since I'm not a good musician my guitar playing still sucks. I'm talking about musicianship, not passion.
As others have said the live version from 1970 is good, but the guitar solo is not quite as good however the vocals and keyboard is so much better.
John “Jon” Lord was the absolute best keyboardist in Rock/Metal.
Dam it took me into my 20's to get PF I'm 60 now & still can't get this 1. That's OK I recognize great musicianship when I hear it. DP always has kicked ass & always will. RB is top 10 guitarist for sure.
Finally Deep Purple but live version is much better!
This song was played at the end of the new show 1899 episode 2. I thought that was pretty cool
Fever dream, nice description.
One of the most iconic guitar solos of all time!
Did you notice that the drummer kick the bass-drum all the way through near the end?
Wanna listen to some of my music? th-cam.com/video/tadiK-_5iSk/w-d-xo.html
Noone ever tried this at a karaoke bar
great reaction!
This is why I like this channel. I've heard a lot of Deep Purple, but never this song.
You've been missing out. "When a Blind Man Cries" is a great song many don't seem to know from Deep Purple. Very emotional.
Long live 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧music
You really, really should have done the live version, Ian Gillian performance will blow your mind.
Please don't miss out.
Love your reactions! Love this song- it’s been a while since I heard it. Have you always talked over the music?
There is often good and bad in war , ( relative ) There are the takers and the defenders,,, Those led astray by those who want to take are to a certain extent guilty with them,
What a great song about the ww2 and unfortunately as relevant today as it was back then. Thanks for sharing. I think you should listen to DP "made in japan" and comment here. This is one of the best live albums ever recorded. Best wishes @all from hamburg (germany).
The live version in 1970 approx on live FRENCH TV - is not only better, but a testament to live talent. Would strongly, strongly recommend to watch and review the live Paris tv version - one of the best live performances ever on tv and stage. It will blow any critics mind - as to the testament of Gillians voice;
His name's spelt "Gillan", not "Gillian". I also think you mean their performance on Granada TV in England, not Paris.
If you find the time, I'd love to see a reaction to Ten Years After, "I'm going home", Woodstock version,
I'm here for it!
Studio version is good, but it's restrained from the live. I'll wait for the live version so you can hear the way it was meant to sound instead of what the record label wanted.
Hey man you should make a channel where you react to movies, you just seem like one of those people lol
Suddenly unfortunatly the volume dropped,.
I see a lot preferring the live version from 1970, and I understand that since it's is both audio and video. But there's no comparison to the lice version on Made In Japan. That's the best version, but unfortunately only audio.
THERE'S A SCHOOL OF THOUGHT THAT BELIEVES THAT THIS SONG COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN THE REASON WHY IAN GILLIAN LEFT DEEP PURPLE!! LONG STORY SHORT RITCHIE BLACKMORE WOULD AMBUSH HIM BY GOING INTO THIS SONG AFTER IAN HAD INSISTED THEY NOT DO IT ON CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS DURING LIVE TOURS!! AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THE STRAIN ON THE VOCAL CORDS NIGHT AFTER NIGHT GETTING UP TO THAT HIGH NOTE COULD BE DEVASTATING!! BLACKMORE DID THAT ONCE TOO MANY TIMES!!
But no, it wasn't the reason. It was ultimately very very bad management that led to exhaustion and bad blood.
His name's spelt "Gillan", not "Gillian".
Lots of great songs by deep purple
Of course theres smoke on the water
Woman from tokyo
But i prefer speed king
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Deep Purple is not progressive rock.
It's just highly talented blues- classical-rock with a touch of sixteen century baroque skills.
The live version is so much better
It's a great song but I find it frustrating that there's no ultimate version of it.
I mean, this is the studio version and it's great and all, but Gillian's vocals are MUCH more powerful live. Here, they're double tracked and sound softer, but live,
he's screaming with POWER. On the other hand, the instrumental section is better than any live version, in my opinion.
And to make matters even more annoying, the end section is much better on the studio version. Live, it often sounded a bit silly.
So yeah, I guess the ultimate version for me would be one of the live versions from Japan for the verses and the screaming, and then the studio version
for the instrumental section plus the ending.
His name's spelt "Gillan", not "Gillian".
@@psbarrow He should change it, then.
@@SpaceCattttt He's not likely to listen to someone who thinks they're a feline from beyond the ionosphere.
@@psbarrow And he's certain not to listen to someone who thinks they're a dead communist, anarchist asshole.
@@SpaceCattttt It’s unfortunate that you’re not mature enough to admit you were wrong in misspelling his name, but unlike your previous ignorance, your present arrogance is now your choice.
nice
Some other zepp stuff please, it's a shame you stopped at LZ II, there's so much more... :)
live is better
The live version is much much better.
All done without computers
The band let loose live, remove the studio shackles..... even the screams are louder and richer.
Beware those who will advise The Made in Japan version live.
The 1970 live version made by Granada tv for the BBC is the best rock performance ever.......as good as 1994 Pink Floyd “ Pulse” ( PF are not really Rock-lol ).
As good as Farnham with the MSO......again, Farnham is not rock either, just musical genius.
That tv version is only popular because it's a video. It's very good, yes, but inferior to the nearly 20 minute version from Stockholm 1970. Blackmore is in better form and Lord solos too.
@@bookhouseboy280 I haven’t heard the Stockholm version.... thanks for the info.
I have heard the Made in Japan a few times now and hate the tone and sound quality.
Oh you should delete this and do the live version! This is so toned down compared to live.
Here is the version you need to hear th-cam.com/video/OorZcOzNcgE/w-d-xo.html
Here is THE version th-cam.com/video/igmFtNC3r9c/w-d-xo.html
.............he didn't say that "I wanna hear you singing" but "I wanna you got saved" 4:28
"I wanna hear you sing."
another donk channel, ui im in the album , studio, hey metal is alive so try this or goahead
The contemporary example of this is Vladimir Putin.
Far too much talking over the song. Really annoying. The pause feature is there for a reason.
🛣️ Highway Star ✨ next, vroom vroom 🤘
