Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord on the organ, Ian Gillan on vocals, Ian Paice on drums and Roger Glover on bass. This was 1970!!! Unbelievable! Sometime after this era, Blackmore started playing a Stratocaster almost exclusively, but until now he mainly played the Gibson ES-335. This was a made for TV studio concert by the BBC, so they probably instructed the audience to stay quiet and not move or clap too much so as to allow the focus to be on the artists and to ensure the sound quality was pristine. Also, I'm pretty sure none of those people knew what the hell was going to hit them, as most of them had probably never witnessed anything so hard and explosive, and many of them were probably shocked into complete silence. This was 1970 after all, and hard rock was only just beginning to develop and blossom. The BBC didn't fuck around with their live shows back then. They were SERIOUS about getting it right. There's a great Cat Stevens BBC session from around the same time which is another incredibly worthwhile experience.
The crowd was told to be quiet as it was being recorded/broadcast but the broke out when the song ended. Plus European audiences were more sedate. Oh, it was Ritchie Blackmore.
Sedated? They looked like "children frozen in time". TOUCHE!. Seems the producers gathered up a bunch of junior high school girls for the audience.They were either in shock,in love or bored.
At the age of 6 I heard the record "Deep Purple - In Rock" when I was going to sleep! My Mom put the vinyl on daily at night-righty-right-bed-time ... THANKS, MOM! Changed my life ... I am like 30 years into music now and still love it! ^^+gg
I saw Ian Gillan sing this with the Ian Gillan band about ten years later. Great musicians who were at the height of their success, they played this for about 15 minutes near the end and you could hear nothing but awe from us working-class heavy metal and punk kids. Ian Gillan's showstopper and he still had the range then. Segued into Woman from Tokyo and then Smoke on the Water. And we'd come for the Gillan band. 😅
This was a fabulous performance from a talented bunch of musicians & lead vocalist. I also noticed that the audience were so excited about Deep purple performing!! At some stage you will love watching Deep Purple playing Highway Star live Made in Japan.
Unfortunately there is no such footage. There are videos of the Made In Japan audio version being superimposed over visual footage of the band playing the song, but the audio and video are not from the same concert.
This lineup had five artists at the top of their game and their mix of hard rock and progressive composition was truly groundbreaking. This original lineup was fantastic!
This is/was the Mark II version, out of IV, of Deep Purple, the best version in most people's eyes. From the left, Keyboards - Jon Lord, Bass - Roger Glover, Lead Singer-Ian Gillan, Drums-Ian Paice and Guitar Richie Blackmore. This is the same crew that did Smoke On The Water, on the Machine Head album, and most of the other really great Deep Purple material.Jon Lord recently passed, but everyone else is still active. Among the best musicians to ever tour the planet. Saw them three times, and it was amazing each time.
The mighty Mark II Deep Purple. Line up is different today but still going strong. Their career might actually have more years than your 2 ages combined!
In my youth, many decades ago, there was this competition between Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. Today, it’s clear that Deep Purple won because they are simply the nicer guys.
Listen to the Jam in the 1972 or 73 live version of Space Trukin'. That is a wild ride indeed. Blackmore and keybordist Jon Lord had a lot of Bach-ish inspiration and they could be quite jazzy too. Ian Paice, the drummer is indeed jazzy, not just groovy. He is on the few drummers that Buddy Rich gave a shoutout to, actually.
As for the crowd reaction, they would have been coached beforehand to stay in place, and they would have been mind-blown by the band, the song and by being on TV. It was all like magic back then.
I'm from '61. I've lived through this era. Witnessed it. Bought the album as a kid. Deep Purple In Rock was THE pivotal album that changed everyting. The end of flower power and the beginning of understanding about war. Korea, Vietnam. No more going to San Fransisco with bleedin flowers in yer hair. Reality baby. People, real people dodging bullets and dying. Right in front of us. With flowers in their hair. Children in time. Okay? JFK, Malcolm X, Robert Kennedy; Martin Luther king, Child In Time. Are you with me?
That was the "MKII" version of Deep Purple, and their most famous lineup, responsible for most of their original hits/fame. Yes, the same lineup as for "Smoke On The Water". This song, "Child In Time", is originally from the "In Rock" album, the first studio album and second album overall for the MK II lineup. It's also obvious this is an early version of the song, as it is a bit different from the studio version, as well as later live versions. The original lineup was formed in the late 60's and did the first three albums. Most notable hit from that era is their original cover of "Hush". That lineup had Rod Evans on vocals and Nicky Simper on bass. They were replaced by Roger Glover on bass and Ian Gillan on vocals, as seen here. Side note: Ian G. sang the part of Jesus in the recording of "Jesus Christ Superstar". The MK II lineup: Jon Lord - keyboards Ritchie Blackmore - guitar Ian Paice - drums Roger Glover - bass Ian Gillan - vocals Their first album is a live performance with an orchestra (a first, at the time, I believe). "In Rock", the source of "Child In Time" is their first actual studio album. Followed by "Fireball" ('Strange Kind of Woman'), "Machine Head" ('Smoke On The Water', 'Highway Star', 'Space Truckin'), and "Who Do We Think We Are" ('Woman From Tokyo'). That's when the band started going through a number of changes. Ian G. left and was replaced by David Coverdale. After a few more albums, they broke up. During this period of turmoil, during a period when Blackmore was out of the band, is when the band Rainbow was formed. The MK II lineup reunited when the band regrouped in the mid-80's. Since then, Blackmore has been permanently removed from the band and replaced by Steve Morse. Jon Lord is sadly no longer with us. Which makes Paice the only remaining original member.
Absolutely world class, there are levels to this shit people and you've just witnessed 5 of the greatest artists to ever grace the stage! Another tune ya gotta hear live is "Lazy". Jon Lord kills them keys like no other... cheers
The big Ian G on vocals...unsurpassed vocally. The best incarnation of Deep Purple this mark 2 version. At the top of the rock alphas up there with Zep 🤘
there are two things, that impress me: first that the guys didn't give a shit that the crowd was so lame (btw a classic tv-show-audience who maybe weren't into rock'n'roll or didn't even know the deep purple...) and second, imagine a todays, or even an eighties-TV-show with a musical live-performance of as long as 10 min... ah, the seventies!
Ritchie Blackmore had a notoriously difficult relationship with cameramen. Deep Purple's performance of Space Truckin' at the California Jam in 1974 is legendary for just that reason. Ian Gillan at this time had possibly the best voice of any rock singer. In the space of a few months he recorded this, the original recording of Jesus Christ Superstar, and Deep Purple's Concerto for Group and Orchestra. Worth a look - th-cam.com/video/dt-CX3k0PYw/w-d-xo.html
What a great voice saw them in Montreal about that time boy so bad I cannot remember anything they played that's how it was at time we started to get ready for the show early in the morning!
Actually I think the Crowd did a Safrina reaction 😂 because, man back in the 70s this was not out of the ordinary for any of the bands we saw back then… no …actually, You’re probably right, they got instructions in the TV studio to behave themselves. I saw them in 1974 and trust me the crowd was wild! And that band was ….LOUD ! I couldn’t hear for three days after that concert which was good because I was in high school and didn’t wanna hear anything anyway
The drummer Ian Paice has a baby face, lol. I was thinking the same. Great band. Jon Lord on keyboards, Ian Gillan is the singer, Roger Glover on bass and yes that's the legendary guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore.
This line up is known as the classic Deep Purple Mark II Line up 1970-1973 which produced the Albums DP in Rock (with studio version of Child in Time on it), Fireball, Machine Head (with Smoke on the Water, Highway Star, Lazy and Space Truckin'), Made in Japan (Live DLP) and Who Do We Think We Are. There was a reunion phase of this line up with the albums Perfect Strangers and the House of Blue Light. Vocalist Ian Gillan (also performing as Jesus on Jesus Christ Superstar orig. version) once said, that "we (DP) were the loudest jazz band in the world".
I saw them at the Chicago Auditorium right after Machine Head came out. Incredible show. I didn’t move or yell at all, because I was so high. The audience did not move either. I think we were all so blown away by the show that couldn’t get it together. One of my best concerts ever (beside FZ that is). Blackmore killed it as only he can can.
I saw them in Milwaukee in 74 for the machine head album who has the opening act for you? We had a new band I never heard of opening for them call ZZ Top. Correction, actually it was 72 I saw them it was my first concert I was a sophomore in high school
@@ninoorjon Yes you’re right it was actually 72 I saw them, it was my first concert I was a sophomore in high school I actually graduated in 74. Got my years mixed up 😩
Ritchie kills it with the guitar ... highly recommend seeing Ritchie when he was in Rainbow. The live 1977 Munich concert has tons of guitar solos. "Catch the Rainbow" and "Mistreated" have great solos.
Ian Gillan, one of the absolute best rock lead singers of all time IMO. This is my favorite track of theirs, and this is my favorite clip of that song. Awesome.
There was always a strong pull in Deep Purple away from blues-based rock and toward classical based as is very evident here. DP has a huge discography. Worth exploring.
About the Purple and AC/DC incident. It was the the Purple crew, the guys in the band wasn't aware of anything. The festival in Austdalia was running late and Deep Purple was headlining so the Purple crew just maked sure that they would be given the time to set things up. But there was a brawl. AC/DC didn't play that night due to the late schedule.
Things like this would happen....bands would fight to be last on the schedule..Then other bands would play over to screw the other band...Notorious it was...
Hi Guys I remember when I became a sub and patreon it said that I could get a song reacted to ..... If so, take your pick, this is the song I would love your opinion on "th-cam.com/video/Ndpryp2OlUQ/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1 / th-cam.com/video/J2pWOD1nk7g/w-d-xo.html Thanks
In my view Made In Japan is the greatest live album ever made, and perhaps Purple's greatest album all around, as they were at their best in a live setting. That version of Child In Time is indeed better than this one, mainly because of the lead solo and the fact they didn't have time constraints. Also, Made In Japan was recorded in 1972, and by then they had had 2 more years to perfect the song and hone their craft. Nevertheless, there is something to be said for actually seeing the band perform the song so beautifully here. This performance is absolutely astounding, regardless of any others.
While Made in Japan is the gold standard for official live albums you should also check out the bootleg releases Live in Stockholm 1970 & Live in London 1974. Both are epic too
They must have recorded the audience and the musicians at different times ;). I did not know that video technique was this far at this time ^^. Besides of that weird aspect of this video deep purple is a great field to explore for you, every song from "Made in Japan" please :).
I love how you've both described aspects of Blackmore's personality to the tee while not knowing if it was him or not. Perfect. He's a pensive, moody bloke to put it mildly; brilliant though, my fav growing up until Michael Schenker's arrival.
All other vocalists - Time to quit now!! Gillan was brought to us by Zeta reticulans. MY first hearing of deep purple, was in 1972, Smoke on the water ,played countless times on the radio, with Ian mentioning a guy and his group, who's equipment burned down in Montreaux switzerland. His name is Zappa. The audience looked like "children frozen "in time". Seems the producers gathered up a bunch of junior high school girls, for the audience.They were either in shock,in love or bored. Hey, perhaps we can get you guys to put together a Deep Purple only channel and a Zappa only channel?
Isn't it better to see the audience sitting there enjoying the music and the show rather than having cameras or phones in front of their faces trying to get it on video when they are see you in real time and probably seeing the group for the first time remember there were no smartphones and video cameras were verboten in those days
You guys crack me T F up!! Much appreciated, lmdao. I first became aware of vocalist Ian Gillan via his "star turn" on the original 'Jesus Christ Superstar' album, tho' I'd prob'ly heard at least 'Hush' from Purple previously. They became key in the evolution of my musical awareness. As much as I worshipped guitarists, and an acquaintance eventually became known to me as a fan of Blackmore - he was also a much better guitarist than me - it was Jon Lord's organ and Ian Paice's drumming that captivated me without fail. Love too, Glover seeming to punch out bass chords early on, yeah, Richie's schooled vibe, fluidity and phrasing. wotsnot to love? life? it's ok.
ian Gillan the vocalist is of the best ever.. Bruce Dickinson named him as the main influence.to became a singer and admired Deep purple..the guitarist is the man in black Mr Ritchie Blackmore him and iommi are the godfathers of hard and heavy music..also check Deep purple anything from made in Japan and rainbow stargazer..
Amazing video, with the original lineup of Deep Purple! This performance must have been around 1970, when the original Jesus Christ Superstar was released. I can really see how Ian Gillan, in the role of Jesus, almost effortlessly delivered those passionate shrieks.
Not quite the original line up - this is generally referred to as Deep Purple Mark 2! Jones and Simper were the original vocalist and bass player, replaced by Ian Gillan and Roger Glover after the first album was recorded.
So, this is Mk II (Mark II) Deep Purple (Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Lord, Paice), which is the same lineup that recorded "Smoke on the Water". "Child in Time" originally appeared on "In Rock", DP's 4th studio album and 5th overall. The opening lines of the song "borrow" from the beginning of It's a Beautiful Day's "Bombay Calling". IADB had in turn "borrowed" it from jazz saxophonist Vince Wallace's instrumental of the same name. DP first heard the as yet unreleased "Bombay Calling" when they opened for IADB at the Fillmore West for a series of shows in late 1968. IADB returned the favor by "borrowing" the riffs from Mk I DP's instrumental "Wring That Neck" for their instrumental "Don and Dewey". Now, Don and Dewey were an influential blues/R&B/Rock duo from the late 1950s to early 1960s. While they never charted very high, many of their songs were big hits for others. The Don half of the duo was multi-instrumentalist Don "Sugarcane" Harris, who went on to play electric violin for artists like Johnny Otis, John Mayall, and Frank Zappa. And of course, Sight After Dark reacted to Don on "Willie the Pimp" and the Little Richard cover "Directly From My Heart to You". Another good showcase of his talents is the "Burnt Weenie Sandwich" version of "Little House I Used to Live In".
Guys: do yourselves a BIG favour: listen instead to the studio version of this song (from the album "Deep Purple in Rock"): the guitar solo is 100 times better. I mean it - seriously. Take care.
This was the ORIGINAL Line-Up . Ritchie Blackmore , Guitar : Jon Lord , on the Mighty Hammond Organ : Ian Gillan , Vocals : Ian Paice , Drums : Roger Glover , Bass . And personally , I Think ACDC would touch these guys up . ACDC are Small yes . Also Scotsmen , all . This was a Live Studio performance BTW , so the Audience was " Under Orders " .
Mate do you honestly think this was the first time some of these folks had seen Purple. The muted reaction was entirely down to the tv producer asking them to stay quiet while the band performed
@@SightAfterDark and what's written in my comment is likewise my honest opinion. You gave the impression you thought the audience would never have seen a performance of this kind before even though artists like Little Richard & Jerry Lee Lewis in the 1950s and Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Doors & Cream in the 1960s were doing basically the same thing. If my comment seemed judgmental then my apologies but your comments seemed judgmental too...but hey ho! 😉😊🥰.
That MKII line up is THE dream team. If you’ve only heard a few DP tracks,are you in for a treat or what. Far too many great songs to mention,so I’ll recommend the one that gripped me……Fireball. First time I heard it,I rushed out and got the album (Fireball) and within a year,had their whole discography,Machine ahead being the perfect album,but really,their whole catalogue never drops below good.
Quick question. I see Sifa is wearing a Pink Floyd shirt however I see no Pink Floyd reactions on your channel. Is it possible because you both already know their great catalog of music? Just curious. Thanks and like your channel...!! Jesse from the SF Bay Ca.
Very perceptive of you! While we are very aware of Pink Floyd’s amazing music, we do have a reaction for a song we were less familiar with coming up :) If you want to hear us talk about Floyd, check out our recently released podcast on them! th-cam.com/video/vBtCUx4TruM/w-d-xo.html
@@SightAfterDark Thank you for the kind reply. Looking forward to visiting New York for the first time in the next month or two, and all the culture....!! Peace and God Bless.
For great vocals turn to the British band Van der Graaf Generator and their singer Peter Hammill. Robert Fripp, the guitar player of King Crimson, said in his autobiography: "What Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar, Peter Hammill did for the vocals". Their 1971 album "Pawn Hearts", an album that was extremely experimental, went ballistic in Italy where it held the number one position in the charts for 12 weeks. For starters I recommend "The Sleepwalkers" from their 1975 album "Godbluff": th-cam.com/video/pSkhTrQ6Pz4/w-d-xo.html You can actually hear the sleepwalkers dance a cha-cha-cha somewhere in the song, by the way.
Yeah true, Audience control, Authority a tad scared, here´s a free ticket, but do as you are told, but they never filmed the back of the audience, a totally different story.....Hehe!
Not to throw water on the fire, but the weird thing about this DP track is that the intro sounds like they're trying to pick out the melody (and bassline) to It's a Beautiful Day's "Bombay Calling": th-cam.com/video/zANOhnrdTZg/w-d-xo.html I don't know the background on this though - was there a legal issue?
@ An Cat Dubh This is what I posted on the subject elsewhere in this thread: The opening lines of the song "borrow" from the beginning of It's a Beautiful Day's "Bombay Calling". IADB had in turn "borrowed" it from jazz saxophonist Vince Wallace's instrumental of the same name. DP first heard the as yet unreleased "Bombay Calling" when they opened for IADB at the Fillmore West for a series of shows in late 1968. IADB returned the favor by "borrowing" the riffs from Mk I DP's instrumental "Wring That Neck" for their instrumental "Don and Dewey".
This band was very popular in early 70's when rock become king...Known for long instrumental runs in their songs with not just the guitar dominance but the organ and keys..particulary that organ sound which the keyboard player did well. Differing lead vocals and guitarist did front this band and in those days guitar and a good guitarist was champion....The crazy finish had Zappa influence which many groups took lead from..Remember Zappa showed you could record what you liked with songs specific to ''your'' world and you could do onstage what you wanted and stagecraft was allowed and theatre was cool...before bands would play a song and then say TY and have a monologue about the next song and repeat...bands had matching suits... People were not liberated in those days and people did not bop out from cultural restraint. I'm telling you Dan Men did not dance and people did not roll their head to musical form...These days every body accepts you can do your own thing...even though they were the left overs of flower power conformity was king. I'm telling you if you rocked out in the chasms of your mind with your head bopping like a pigeon eating seed then people would think you are nutty...Time changes things but time never changes.
Liked Purple at this time but quickly grew out of them and into better things. Quite rightly they deserve a place in rock history as one of the grandaddies of Heavy Rock, a bit like a Model T Ford in a car museum. Dated and not much use these days but nice to remember how better things came into being. Personally, think Blackmore is the complete asshole, as a person and as a guitarist. He wasn't even the best guitarisat Purple had. Morse and Bolin piss all over him with better talent.
DP are so much heavy prog than anyone could be - with some very odd tunes and encouraged music trying to be the one..., they always have good intentions, but they often failed, sorry to say this. In their best songs, they are nearly the shape of things to heavy prog rock to come - but their are so much other bands that accept this challenge and they win about DP - sure ian paice is a great drummer, Blackmore is a great guitarist, Lord is a perfect keyboard player, glover a so good bassist - in this combination they would be maybe greatest band of all times, but i can never get so much deep into DP, they don't get me, so sorry - so sad!
I didn’t understand the meaning of your post - there is no such group that everyone loves, on the contrary, if the group has a billion fans, there will still be 7 billion that this group will be indifferent to, but why write about it. Also, please name the bands that did better hard rock (Deep Purple hard rock band, not heavy prog) than Deep Purple.
Roger Glover and Ian Pace, One of the GREATEST Rhythm sections in Rock and Roll history!
The line - up here is the classic Deep Purple of Ian Price drums, Richie Blackmore guitar, Jon Lord keys, Roger Glover bass and Ian Gillan vocals
This song is EVERYTHING!!!!!!! Art-Poem and Music
This might be in the top 25 live performances of all time
Ian Gillan vocals, Ian Paice drums, Roger Glover bass, Jon Lord keyboards, Ritchie Blackmore guitar.
Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord on the organ, Ian Gillan on vocals, Ian Paice on drums and Roger Glover on bass. This was 1970!!! Unbelievable! Sometime after this era, Blackmore started playing a Stratocaster almost exclusively, but until now he mainly played the Gibson ES-335.

Best Rock song ever written. Performed by 5 Masters of their craft.
The crowd was told to be quiet as it was being recorded/broadcast but the broke out when the song ended. Plus European audiences were more sedate. Oh, it was Ritchie Blackmore.
Sedated? They looked like "children frozen in time". TOUCHE!.
Seems the producers gathered up a bunch of junior high school girls for the audience.They were either in shock,in love or bored.
I'd rather perform in front of this crowd than the whooping and hollerin' yanks. God, they don't ever shut up!
At the age of 6 I heard the record "Deep Purple - In Rock" when I was going to sleep! My Mom put the vinyl on daily at night-righty-right-bed-time ... THANKS, MOM!
Changed my life ... I am like 30 years into music now and still love it! ^^+gg
Shout out to your mom! Thanks for sharing with us John!
I saw Ian Gillan sing this with the Ian Gillan band about ten years later. Great musicians who were at the height of their success, they played this for about 15 minutes near the end and you could hear nothing but awe from us working-class heavy metal and punk kids. Ian Gillan's showstopper and he still had the range then. Segued into Woman from Tokyo and then Smoke on the Water. And we'd come for the Gillan band. 😅
One of my all time faves. Will always have my dad to thank for introducing me to legends such as these.
The best line up of many great Deep Purple line ups imo ..
This was a fabulous performance from a talented bunch of musicians & lead vocalist. I also noticed that the audience were so excited about Deep purple performing!! At some stage you will love watching Deep Purple playing Highway Star live Made in Japan.

This was the "classic" line up and yes, Richie Blackmore of 'Smoke on the Water' was the guitarist here.
yep that was Blackmore and as far as the classical influence, he was the guy Yngwie Malmsteen modeled himself after.
Jon Lord was the most influenced by the classical although Ritchie too was.
this was recorded in 1970. They are considered pioneers of heavy metal. All masterpieces DP recorded with Ritchie Blackmore
Love it! Thanks Victor!

I second that emotion.
So good. That was Ritchie Blackmore. And Ian Gillian on vocals
Ian Gillan!
The big Ian G on vocals...unsurpassed vocally. The best incarnation of Deep Purple this mark 2 version. At the top of the rock alphas up there with Zep 🤘
The audience was so animated. I think I even caught one of them taping his foot!

Thanks Kris!
OG Deep Purple! At their prime. Sabbath, Zep, Deep Purple, Heep were the second English Invasion.
:) great reaction guys... yep, crowd told to "be chill - you're not on a dance floor today". Can't help re lineup stuff tho...
This line up is known as the classic Deep Purple Mark II Line up 1970-1973 which produced the Albums DP in Rock (with studio version of Child in Time on it), Fireball, Machine Head (with Smoke on the Water, Highway Star, Lazy and Space Truckin'), Made in Japan (Live DLP) and Who Do We Think We Are. There was a reunion phase of this line up with the albums Perfect Strangers and the House of Blue Light. Vocalist Ian Gillan (also performing as Jesus on Jesus Christ Superstar orig. version) once said, that "we (DP) were the loudest jazz band in the world".
😆nice. Thanks for the info Joachim!
..моя юность... Mark 2... deep purple... удачи..
I saw them at the Chicago Auditorium right after Machine Head came out. Incredible show. I didn’t move or yell at all, because I was so
high. The audience did not move either. I think we were all so blown away by the show that couldn’t get it together. One of my best concerts ever (beside FZ that is). Blackmore killed it as only he can can.
I saw them in Milwaukee in 74 for the machine head album who has the opening act for you? We had a new band I never heard of opening for them call ZZ Top. Correction, actually it was 72 I saw them it was my first concert I was a sophomore in high school
Sounds about right! Thanks for sharing David!
🥰
@@billraufmann8918 Machine Head in 1974?
@@ninoorjon Yes you’re right it was actually 72 I saw them, it was my first concert I was a sophomore in high school I actually graduated in 74. Got my years mixed up 😩
Ritchie kills it with the guitar ... highly recommend seeing Ritchie when he was in Rainbow. The live 1977 Munich concert has tons of guitar solos. "Catch the Rainbow" and "Mistreated" have great solos.
we love that year for rock n roll, so well definitely watch! Thanks Jalkabre!
Ian Gillan, one of the absolute best rock lead singers of all time IMO. This is my favorite track of theirs, and this is my favorite clip of that song. Awesome.
I think Gillan is the best rock singer of all time, bar none.
He s good especially in this song but Paul Roger's of Bad Company better
Agree completely 👍
There was always a strong pull in Deep Purple away from blues-based rock and toward classical based as is very evident here. DP has a huge discography. Worth exploring.
Genios!!!
The fathers of Power Metal.
These 5 guys are out to excel each other.
No mention of THOSE high notes? That's not a falsetto he's doing. He's belting it out! Not too many who can do that.
Mentioned the falsettos AND the high notes. He did em all🔥
@@SightAfterDark Didn't notice that.
And now I have to burn... 😥
@@SpaceCattttt 🤣nooooo🥰🥰🥰
About the Purple and AC/DC incident. It was the the Purple crew, the guys in the band wasn't aware of anything. The festival in Austdalia was running late and Deep Purple was headlining so the Purple crew just maked sure that they would be given the time to set things up. But there was a brawl. AC/DC didn't play that night due to the late schedule.
Thanks for the clarification Lars! and thanks for watching!
Things like this would happen....bands would fight to be last on the schedule..Then other bands would play over to screw the other band...Notorious it was...
You Guys are the BEST
You are too Jscarp15!
Hi Guys I remember when I became a sub and patreon it said that I could get a song reacted to ..... If so, take your pick, this is the song I would love your opinion on "th-cam.com/video/Ndpryp2OlUQ/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1 / th-cam.com/video/J2pWOD1nk7g/w-d-xo.html Thanks
MADE IN JAPAN (live) should be the only source of music you use for Deep Purple. Especially this song...! 3x better live in Japan version...!
Thanks All Day Adventures!
Absolutely. This is great, but the Made In Japan version blows it off the stage.
In my view Made In Japan is the greatest live album ever made, and perhaps Purple's greatest album all around, as they were at their best in a live setting. That version of Child In Time is indeed better than this one, mainly because of the lead solo and the fact they didn't have time constraints. Also, Made In Japan was recorded in 1972, and by then they had had 2 more years to perfect the song and hone their craft. Nevertheless, there is something to be said for actually seeing the band perform the song so beautifully here. This performance is absolutely astounding, regardless of any others.
While Made in Japan is the gold standard for official live albums you should also check out the bootleg releases Live in Stockholm 1970 & Live in London 1974. Both are epic too
They must have recorded the audience and the musicians at different times ;). I did not know that video technique was this far at this time ^^. Besides of that weird aspect of this video deep purple is a great field to explore for you, every song from "Made in Japan" please :).
This is the Smoke on the Water version of the band. Great reaction, especially when compared to the studio audience.
Thanks so much Hartlor!
I love how you've both described aspects of Blackmore's personality to the tee while not knowing if it was him or not. Perfect. He's a pensive, moody bloke to put it mildly; brilliant though, my fav growing up until Michael Schenker's arrival.
Great review, although I thought the keyboardist merited a mention. Great song, excellent performance. A lot of talent on the stage!
You're absolutely right about that! That's what pulled us in!
All other vocalists - Time to quit now!! Gillan was brought to us by Zeta reticulans.
MY first hearing of deep purple, was in 1972, Smoke on the water ,played countless times on the radio, with Ian mentioning a guy and his group, who's equipment burned down in Montreaux switzerland. His name is Zappa.
The audience looked like "children frozen "in time".
Seems the producers gathered up a bunch of junior high school girls, for the audience.They were either in shock,in love or bored.
Hey, perhaps we can get you guys to put together a Deep Purple only channel and a Zappa only channel?
Isn't it better to see the audience sitting there enjoying the music and the show rather than having cameras or phones in front of their faces trying to get it on video when they are see you in real time and probably seeing the group for the first time remember there were no smartphones and video cameras were verboten in those days
Absolutely!
Most people make this mistake because they look for video, the best live version is on Made In Japan, audio only.
check the Live Made in Japan version of Lazy.......musicianship times 100!
Thanks for the suggestion!
You guys crack me T F up!! Much appreciated, lmdao.
I first became aware of vocalist Ian Gillan via his "star turn" on the original 'Jesus Christ Superstar' album, tho' I'd prob'ly heard at least 'Hush' from Purple previously. They became key in the evolution of my musical awareness. As much as I worshipped guitarists, and an acquaintance eventually became known to me as a fan of Blackmore - he was also a much better guitarist than me - it was Jon Lord's organ and Ian Paice's drumming that captivated me without fail. Love too, Glover seeming to punch out bass chords early on, yeah, Richie's schooled vibe, fluidity and phrasing.
wotsnot to love? life? it's ok.
Glad you enjoyed Damon!
ian Gillan the vocalist is of the best ever.. Bruce Dickinson named him as the main influence.to became a singer and admired Deep purple..the guitarist is the man in black Mr Ritchie Blackmore him and iommi are the godfathers of hard and heavy music..also check Deep purple anything from made in Japan and rainbow stargazer..
Thanks Stelios!
Of course that was Blackmore!
🎸 🔥!
React to Highway Star
I suggest you do something from legendary live-album "Made in Japan" next. Great reaction by the way 🙂
Thanks so much Tom!
Amazing video, with the original lineup of Deep Purple! This performance must have been around 1970, when the original Jesus Christ Superstar was released. I can really see how Ian Gillan, in the role of Jesus, almost effortlessly delivered those passionate shrieks.
Not quite the original line up - this is generally referred to as Deep Purple Mark 2!
Jones and Simper were the original vocalist and bass player, replaced by Ian Gillan and Roger Glover after the first album was recorded.
@@michaelfoster5577 Actually, the Mark I lineup put out three albums.
@@michaelfoster5577 Thanks - I forgot that their earlier Book of Taliesyn album had a different singer, who oddly sounded like Neil Diamond.
So, this is Mk II (Mark II) Deep Purple (Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Lord, Paice), which is the same lineup that recorded "Smoke on the Water". "Child in Time" originally appeared on "In Rock", DP's 4th studio album and 5th overall.
The opening lines of the song "borrow" from the beginning of It's a Beautiful Day's "Bombay Calling". IADB had in turn "borrowed" it from jazz saxophonist Vince Wallace's instrumental of the same name. DP first heard the as yet unreleased "Bombay Calling" when they opened for IADB at the Fillmore West for a series of shows in late 1968.
IADB returned the favor by "borrowing" the riffs from Mk I DP's instrumental "Wring That Neck" for their instrumental "Don and Dewey".
Now, Don and Dewey were an influential blues/R&B/Rock duo from the late 1950s to early 1960s. While they never charted very high, many of their songs were big hits for others. The Don half of the duo was multi-instrumentalist Don "Sugarcane" Harris, who went on to play electric violin for artists like Johnny Otis, John Mayall, and Frank Zappa. And of course, Sight After Dark reacted to Don on "Willie the Pimp" and the Little Richard cover "Directly From My Heart to You". Another good showcase of his talents is the "Burnt Weenie Sandwich" version of "Little House I Used to Live In".
Awesome history lesson. Thanks HisbolRoi!
The version of Child in time on the Made in Japan album is much better
The crowd yes, they were restricted probably
Guys: do yourselves a BIG favour: listen instead to the studio version of this song (from the album "Deep Purple in Rock"): the guitar solo is 100 times better. I mean it - seriously. Take care.
Thanks for the tip!
This was the ORIGINAL Line-Up .
Ritchie Blackmore , Guitar : Jon Lord , on the Mighty Hammond Organ : Ian Gillan , Vocals : Ian Paice , Drums : Roger Glover , Bass .
And personally , I Think ACDC would touch these guys up . ACDC are Small yes . Also Scotsmen , all .
This was a Live Studio performance BTW , so the Audience was " Under Orders " .
progression of pain during war when horrifically wounded
Blackmore on guitar. This was just before he changed permanently to Stratocaster.
I liked the joke about yourself not reacting much… Great, you are great. Love from France.
☺️thanks Chris, love to you too!
Mate do you honestly think this was the first time some of these folks had seen Purple. The muted reaction was entirely down to the tv producer asking them to stay quiet while the band performed
☺️this is us seeing the video for the first time. What comes out of our mouths are our honest thoughts and reactions.
@@SightAfterDark and what's written in my comment is likewise my honest opinion. You gave the impression you thought the audience would never have seen a performance of this kind before even though artists like Little Richard & Jerry Lee Lewis in the 1950s and Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Doors & Cream in the 1960s were doing basically the same thing. If my comment seemed judgmental then my apologies but your comments seemed judgmental too...but hey ho! 😉😊🥰.
That MKII line up is THE dream team.
If you’ve only heard a few DP tracks,are you in for a treat or what.
Far too many great songs to mention,so I’ll recommend the one that gripped me……Fireball.
First time I heard it,I rushed out and got the album (Fireball) and within a year,had their whole discography,Machine ahead being the perfect album,but really,their whole catalogue never drops below good.
Thanks so much Cockney Red!
*Machine Head.
Bloody autocorrect!
Quick question. I see Sifa is wearing a Pink Floyd shirt however I see no Pink Floyd reactions on your channel. Is it possible because you both already know their great catalog of music? Just curious. Thanks and like your channel...!! Jesse from the SF Bay Ca.
Very perceptive of you! While we are very aware of Pink Floyd’s amazing music, we do have a reaction for a song we were less familiar with coming up :)
If you want to hear us talk about Floyd, check out our recently released podcast on them!

@@SightAfterDark Thank you for the kind reply. Looking forward to visiting New York for the first time in the next month or two, and all the culture....!! Peace and God Bless.
Gotta hear Neil Young live or doing Ragged Glory in terms of guitar solos
Thanks for the suggestion!
For great vocals turn to the British band Van der Graaf Generator and their singer Peter Hammill. Robert Fripp, the guitar player of King Crimson, said in his autobiography: "What Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar, Peter Hammill did for the vocals". Their 1971 album "Pawn Hearts", an album that was extremely experimental, went ballistic in Italy where it held the number one position in the charts for 12 weeks. For starters I recommend "The Sleepwalkers" from their 1975 album "Godbluff":
th-cam.com/video/pSkhTrQ6Pz4/w-d-xo.html
You can actually hear the sleepwalkers dance a cha-cha-cha somewhere in the song, by the way.
Thanks for the tip Jeanine and Friederike!
Yeah true, Audience control, Authority a tad scared, here´s a free ticket, but do as you are told, but they never filmed the back of the audience, a totally different story.....Hehe!
☺️
Not to throw water on the fire, but the weird thing about this DP track is that the intro sounds like they're trying to pick out the melody (and bassline) to It's a Beautiful Day's "Bombay Calling": th-cam.com/video/zANOhnrdTZg/w-d-xo.html I don't know the background on this though - was there a legal issue?
So many bands borrowed from each other without thinking about it.
Ian Gullan admitted this track was based on Bombay Calling!
Gillan not Gullan!!!
@ An Cat Dubh This is what I posted on the subject elsewhere in this thread:
The opening lines of the song "borrow" from the beginning of It's a Beautiful Day's "Bombay Calling". IADB had in turn "borrowed" it from jazz saxophonist Vince Wallace's instrumental of the same name. DP first heard the as yet unreleased "Bombay Calling" when they opened for IADB at the Fillmore West for a series of shows in late 1968.
IADB returned the favor by "borrowing" the riffs from Mk I DP's instrumental "Wring That Neck" for their instrumental "Don and Dewey".
No legal issue. Jon Lord dated a girl from a Beatiful Day. And then they stole Wring That Neck from Purple so 1 - 1 :-)
This band was very popular in early 70's when rock become king...Known for long instrumental runs in their songs with not just the guitar dominance but the organ and keys..particulary that organ sound which the keyboard player did well. Differing lead vocals and guitarist did front this band and in those days guitar and a good guitarist was champion....The crazy finish had Zappa influence which many groups took lead from..Remember Zappa showed you could record what you liked with songs specific to ''your'' world and you could do onstage what you wanted and stagecraft was allowed and theatre was cool...before bands would play a song and then say TY and have a monologue about the next song and repeat...bands had matching suits...
People were not liberated in those days and people did not bop out from cultural restraint. I'm telling you Dan Men did not dance and people did not roll their head to musical form...These days every body accepts you can do your own thing...even though they were the left overs of flower power conformity was king.
I'm telling you if you rocked out in the chasms of your mind with your head bopping like a pigeon eating seed then people would think you are nutty...Time changes things but time never changes.
Kinda the beginning of metal as opposed to hard rock
React to Grand Funk Railroad inside looking out live
Liked Purple at this time but quickly grew out of them and into better things. Quite rightly they deserve a place in rock history as one of the grandaddies of Heavy Rock, a bit like a Model T Ford in a car museum. Dated and not much use these days but nice to remember how better things came into being.
Personally, think Blackmore is the complete asshole, as a person and as a guitarist. He wasn't even the best guitarisat Purple had. Morse and Bolin piss all over him with better talent.
We respect your opinion Paul!
Awesome band
Hope you hv a chance to watch Led Zeppelin
The goats of rock
We are very familiar with the Zep:

DP are so much heavy prog than anyone could be - with some very odd tunes and encouraged music trying to be the one..., they always have good intentions, but they often failed, sorry to say this. In their best songs, they are nearly the shape of things to heavy prog rock to come - but their are so much other bands that accept this challenge and they win about DP - sure ian paice is a great drummer, Blackmore is a great guitarist, Lord is a perfect keyboard player, glover a so good bassist - in this combination they would be maybe greatest band of all times, but i can never get so much deep into DP, they don't get me, so sorry - so sad!
We respect your opinion Michaosanna!
I didn’t understand the meaning of your post - there is no such group that everyone loves, on the contrary, if the group has a billion fans, there will still be 7 billion that this group will be indifferent to, but why write about it. Also, please name the bands that did better hard rock (Deep Purple hard rock band, not heavy prog) than Deep Purple.
