As this was a recoding for the TV, the audience was forced to stay calm, not to clap, not to make any noises, don't sing along or to move, etc. At least my mom told me so, as she was in the audience back then ... :) Thanks for your reaction!
Thanks for that explanation. I own this in a dvd set and have always wondered what was wrong with those people. But now that you explain it that way, and I think about how "the MAN" can put its foot on your neck, it makes a lot more sense.
@@larsrons7937 I don't think iit was the band so much as BBC. Who would be the ones with the rights and ownership of the recording. They wanted the recording to be as clean as possible.
@@greenbluemonkey You could very well be right. All I know are rumours which can be hard to verify. But did you notice something else about the audience? In the middle of the front row were about 4 people in quite colourful clothes. Most of the rest were dressed in black, or dark. Were they arranged like this on purpose? The first time I saw the footage I immediately thought of the cover of the _"Sgt. Pepper" album._
This is raw talent...that's what it is. No fake music, no computers, no autotune or other shit today we are used too. Those were times when, if you hadn't talent, you couldn't get up a stage. Give me back that fuckin' age.
I understand your view, this is a masterpiece, and Gillan puts this thing over the top. Many great works in the progressive rock era are better as studio recordings though it’s fun to hear the live material after the fact. Anyway, don’t close off your mind to some great shit simply because you want to wallow in the past. It doesn’t matter what instruments are used to get there. That said, fuck pop music. But that was always true.
Master musicians 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻Jon Lord on the Hammond Organ. Classically trained. Ritchie Blackmore on lead guitar, Roger Glover on Bass, Ian Paice on Drums and the incredible voice of Ian Gillan 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 The studio was recording this live and everyone was told to sit still and quiet. Not the technology we have today 😂
@@robertpetre9378it’s not his shredding that makes him stand out. It’s his perfect phrasing and composition. Everything is very carefully and thoughtfully placed.
@@langdalepaul in this performance I don't really think he did that well.. Some weird note choices, rushing, playing outside the scale and not sounding like it really fits the song. I do love his stuff and I think he's great but for some reason this performance just doesn't do it for me 😅
They don't call him Jesus Christ Superstar superstar for nothing. Andrew Loyd Weber could have had any singer he wanted in the world. He picked Ian Gillan. To Robert Plants' dismay. He wanted that gig, so the insider's say. He hated Gillan after that and called him just a screamer. Gillan laughed at him. Jealousy is a sin, Robert, lol 😂
You just witnessed one of the rock gods of music. In Ian Gillan you have one of the greatest vocalists that has ever blessed this planet. One of the best quintets ever put together.
The audience were told not to react as they would ruin the sound of the recording… Remember this was 70’s tech .. it would have been picked up.. Inside they were rocking 😀
@@Fuxerz Totally agree . This is as good as it has ever got in the "rock and roll years " I would put the Who "won't get fooled again with Keith Moon's last performance in 1975 as Number 2 , and the Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter " with Lisa Fischer live Number 3. Then it is close between Led Zep and Stairway to heaven and Fleetwood "The Green Manalishi", with Hendrix at Woodstock = The Star spangled Banner in the mix not forgetting Bowie's last ever performance of Heroes in Berlin. Where it was originally recorded.
1972,,, I was 12 listening to "Made in Japan", and I can hear my mom screaming "Will you turn that noise down!" I grew up on Deep purple and many others like them. Real music from the soul. No pre-recorded live shows. No click tracks. No backing tracks. No pitch correction. No LIVE auto-tune. A time when people were real! A time when we expected people to be real!!
Do not underestimate the work of the audio technician that set up all the mics and preset them to make sure it sounds good. back then they were scientists... today they are just employees...
@@vyshaklep6663however the comment doesn’t call Purple metal, but there wouldn’t be metal without them, at least not as we know it. So many metal bands list Purple as influences
@@vyshaklep6663 no reason why there can’t be more than one band filling that role, and many metal bands list Deep Purple as influences That takes nothing away from Sabbath Or any other band that has been an influence My comment does not say they were the sole influence or even the biggest one. So I stand by my comment, it is accurate
Not sure which was more intense - the song, or your reaction! Brilliantly done and so well interpreted! I think you were spot on with the chaos of war and then it all repeats itself, but can also be applied in so many different ways! I love the way these musicians, in particular the guitarist, tell a story with their solos - it makes the listening so much more interesting - especially if you've been doing so for over 50 years! The "Purple" rabbit hole is so vast, but you won't be disappointed with any of it! One of the finest examples of that story-telling though, comes from the guitarists next band, Rainbow - and in particular "Stargazer" which is absolutely epic! To understand everything I would strongly recommend you study the lyrics first! Keep 'em coming and well done once again!
The talent of that lineup in the band is insane. And as others have mentioned, the crowd had to be still (but I'm sure deep (purple) inside they were rocking out).
The audience was under directions to remain silent during the performance because, the studio was recording their performance and didn't want any external back noise. Things were different for live performances then.
A legendary rock band. About the audience, this wasn't a concert, it was a performance on a short-lived British TV show called "Doing Their Thing" so the studio audience couldn't behave like a concert audience even if they wanted to. I'm sure some were there just to see a TV music show not matter who was performing. Keep up the great reactions!
Always love the original 'Autotune' self pitch correction from these times. The hand cupped over the ear with their voice bouncing off their palm up into the ear, allowing the singers to self monitor their own pitch and adjust accordingly.
Brilliant reaction! Thanks. As one of my favorite bands of all time but especially from late 60s through the early 70s, I was fortunate enough to see them live in Frankfurt, Germany, in either '73 or'74. I can't remember, I saw so many great concerts back then. After all, it was 50 years ago.
I really loved the fact that you went into the lyrics and associated it with the rest of the performance; this is what every person doing a react should do, especially with a song with such complexity and a deep meaning. Congrats!
Wow thank you! I feel like it’s really 50/50… people either enjoy it or hate it, and wish I would just listen to the song and say nothing. 😂🤷🏻♀️ So thanks!!
Back in the day, the TV studio people didn't want to deal with the noise of a cheering crowd in addition to trying to balance the sound levels of each instrument of the band. So they told the audience to behave and be quiet. But still, if I were there, I would have one hell of a hard time to not allow my emotions to show during that killer performance. But this audience in particular looked as if they were all given heavy-duty tranquilizers before the show. It's almost as if they are on another planet, or plane of existence. It's comical, and yet I'm so happy that we have this remarkably high-quality live recording of this band at their peak, really firing on all cylinders here. And to you, thanks for your honest reaction. This was so much fun.
I was born in 1971, and knew the name Deep Purple, and a couple of songs like 'Smoke on the Water', but I didn't hear this masterpiece until the TH-cam reactors started to cover it. Ian Gillan is also known for his work in 'Jesus Christ, Superstar' in the title role, and guitarist Richie Blackmoore would go on to found the band Rainbow with the legendary Ronnie James Dio.
Gillan’s just sang on the original Jesus Christ superstar concept album released in 1970 anything after that was performed by different people. Ian is still the original and the best..he set the template for all that followed.
@@fredatkins5890 in the 1973 movie Ted Neely played Jesus.. Ian Gillan only performed the role on the 1970 album

Hi lovely Jenna, Now we are back to one of my first band experiences back in the early 70's. Deep Purple along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin was the first hard rock bands I came in contact with. This song was one of the greatest masterpieces written in rock during the 70's along with Led Zeppelin's "Stairways to heaven". When this lineup of Deep Purple was reunited again in 1985 and I got to see them in 1986 and Ian Gillan still pulled of this song so perfectly, I found my jaw in my knee... 😁😊😋 I just love this song and this old performance. See yaa on Twitch.....
The audience in this clip were actually stuffed people randomly placed in the studio. There is no other explanation to their lack of reaction to these two crescendos. Also, each time I watch this clip, I notice that this "live" version is quite different from the studio one.
I love your interpretation and analysis of this song. Your thoughts were very insightful and impressive. I've got to compliment you on having a very good thinking mind and say thank you for posting this worthy song on your channel.
The keyboard is a Hammond B-3 organ, played through a Leslie Tone Cabinet. Jon Lord is a master of the B-3. Fun fact, Deep Purple was listed in the 1975 Guiness Book of world Records as the loudest band on the planet!
Yes, they were listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the loudest band. However, Jon Lord, in 1974 stated that Emerson, Lake & Palmer were the loudest band. Here is Jon Lord's statement; Jon Lord (Deep Purple): "Both crews (Purple and ELP) seem to be playing the my-amp's-bigger-than-your-amp game. Don't believe what they tell you, no other band's got this amount of volume."
@@frederickpando9444 Saw ELP outside around that time as well, we were in the Yale Bowl and they had their quad PA system, it was quite loud but what you really noticed was the seperation in the mix, it was incredible, as good as the WHO's quad set up. The only PA that I rate a hair better is Pink Floyd as they had 5 channels when I saw them. All these bands are Rock Gods forever!
,... Hello, dear FREDDY! THERE WERE A LOT MORE OF BANDS, THAT PLAYED OVERLOUDLY BACK IN THE YEARS😊!! MORE EXAMPLES: MANOWAR / HAWKWIND / LED ZEPPELIN / BLACK SABBATH / URIAH HEEP / MOTÖRHEAD / IRON MAIDEN /... and so on 😊!!! BERNIE GERMANY 😊😊
Great reaction again! I love how you delve into the lyrics, most other channels don't. Lyrics are a huge part of metal in general, I think non listeners are surprised by this. Cool thoughts on the music too. Looking forward to the next one already! Carry on....
Very true, Sir. Lyrics matter. I've often heard, and pretty much believe, that the difference between metal and hard rock is lyrical content. Sex, drugs, partying as the subjects equal hard rock, Social issues, Introspection, life's meaning, etc. equal metal. Not accurate 100% of the time but it's a pretty good indicator.
I'm fascinated looking at your reactions, face expressions, comments, etc coming from not just a woman but from a far newer generation than mine, who's enjoying a piece of music and set of musicians I grew up with and was struck at least as much as you. It was a real pleasure, Koality Reactions! Cheers!
European audiences were very quiet in that time period, hence why the original British punk band, Mott the Hoople, and their teenaged hooligan fans were such a shock to club owners.
This was in the early days of bands perfoming in a studio for live broadcast, so the audiences were told to sit still and stay quiet, so as not to interfere with the sound or the broadcast. This was not like the live broadcasts we are used to today, where the band just gig and have it filmed as is. I have been fan of this band since they first came out, and still listen to them to this day. I'm so glad young people are still discovering them. Keep it up, love from England, UK x
When i see a reactor say "my first time listening to Deep Purple, not sure who they are and i will check out Child in Time" i think oh boy you are about to have an experience ...
Deep Purple were always a band comprised of phenomenal musicians... they started out as a British pop rock band in 1968 and scored hits in America like 'Hush' ... 'Kentucky woman'... In 1969, their mercurial guitarist Ritchie Blackmore wanted a change after hearing the new 'heavy rock' sound by Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin... Deep Purple replaced original singer Rod Evans w/ vocalist Ian Gillan... original bassist Nick Simper w/ Roger Glover (bass) and also were the first rock band to record a 'Concerto' album w/ a full classical orchestra. This line-up of Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Jon Lord (keyboards) and Ian Paice (drums) made history in 1970 w/ their 5th album 'In rock'... this was filmed in a TV studio as Deep Purple were promoting their first 'heavy rock' album and few had heard music that was this loud and powerful... Deep Purple pushed the limits of heavy rock in the 70's - like Led Zeppelin, they didn't want to keep 1 sound and wrote diverse songs w/ the albums 'Fireball' (1971)... 'Machine head' (1972)... 'Who do we think we are' (1973)... And it was their 1972 live album 'Made in Japan' that gave Deep Purple a huge hit and the band soon had 5 records on the US charts. Some of Deep Purple's iconic songs were recorded in this time: 'Smoke on the water'... 'Highway star' ... 'Speed king' ... 'Fireball' ... 'Woman from Tokyo'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥 However, both Ian Gillan & Roger Glover were out of Deep Purple in 1973 after guitarist Ritchie Blackmore made some demand for him to stay in the band... In 1974, Deep Purple hired Glenn Hughes (bass + vocals) and David Coverdale (lead vocals) and released 'Burn'... It made Deep Purple a massive band that year... Unfortunately, Ritchie Blackmore did not like the musical direction on the next album 'Stormbringer' that year and quit Deep Purple in 1975 to form his own band Rainbow. This line-up w/ Coverdale & Hughes scored some major singles - 'Burn'... 'Soldier of fortune'... 'Stormbringer' ...'Mistreated'... Deep Purple hired former James Gang guitarist Tommy Bolin in '75 and released 'Come taste the band'... but fans were not interested in the band without Ritchie Blackmore... After a difficult tour marred by mishaps and drug problems, Deep Purple split up in 1976. Tommy Bolin passed away that year from a drug OD... In 1984, the classic 5 members of Deep Purple (Blackmore/ Gillan/ Glover/ Lord/ Paice) reunited and released their comeback album 'Perfect strangers'... But conflicts between Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore resurfaced after the 1987 album 'House of blue light'... Ian Gillan was fired in 1989 and replaced by Joe Lynn Turner (former singer of Blackmore's band Rainbow) for 1 album 'Slaves and masters' in 1990. Deep Purple wanted Ian Gillan back on vocals for the band's 25th anniversary album & tour... Ritchie Blackmore opposed it but gave in and recorded 'The Battle rages on' in 1993 w/ Ian Gillan... Frustrated, Ritchie Blackmore quit the band in '93 in the middle of the tour. Deep Purple decided to carry on in 1994 w/ former Kansas guitarist Steve Morse joining... They enjoyed a stable recording and touring era w/ Morse in the band, releasing 'Purpendicular' in 1996 and 'Abandon' in 1998... By 2002, founding keyboardist Jon Lord amicably left the band to focus on classical music projects... He was replaced by Don Airey (keyboards)... Sadly, Jon Lord passed away from cancer in 2012. Ian Gillan had said that Deep Purple had enjoyed the years w/ Steve Morse on guitar because Ritchie Blackmore was an unpredictable character on and off stage... They also recorded and toured successfully and announced plans to close out their career after 2017. Some of their newer songs - 'Vincent Price' ... 'Sometimes I feel like screaming' ... 'Rapture of the deep' ... 'The surprising' ... 'Throw my bones' In 2022, guitarist Steve Morse left Deep Purple to care for his wife who had been afflicted w/ cancer... He was replaced by Simon McBride (guitar) on tour and Deep Purple has announced plans to record a new album.
Would love to see you do more Deep Purple, My favourite band of all time, I genuinely feel every single one of their songs is a masterpiece. Masters of rock.
Everyone who watches this mentions the audience. I can only assume they were asked to keep still because it was being recorded. The keyboard player, Jon Lord, was a classically trained master. As a drummer in the 1970s I loved Ian Paice. I always wanted his hair.
If You liked this live version of "Child in Time" with that incredible quiet audience, I strongly recommend the one on "Made in Japan“ some time later. In my personal view some of "Deep Purple‘s" best live recordings ever! Five of the best musicians in Rock History having the time of their lives, at least on stage!! Btw: very nice reaction!
They play this note for note, every time.. they are an amazing band.. natural key of a keyboard (C/Am) all white notes.. haha Not to brag but when I was 19 (Im 51) I stood backstage at a gig in a circle and sculled bourbon shots with Ian Gillan.. and he did this song that night, just like this.... he must have been in his 50s at the time haha... I was never able to see Deep Purple I wasnt old enough.. but that was a bit cool.. The keyboard is a Hammond B3.. played through Marshall amps.. 8:00 Bolero beat.. with a full rock band.. love playing this bit.. You MUST youtube "Deep Purple Live In Japan" and listen to the whole thing!!!! Interesting interpretation re: the feeling of War.. Twice.. We have had 2 World World.. So very apt..
Good reaction. Yes i was laughing when you said you did not expect this cool soft song. Always amazed to see the audience in this video. They just look very stiff. Nowadays the audience would be headbanging. My favorite song by Deep Purple, but different from the studio version. Did see them live last year but they sadly did not do this song. Thanks for this reaction.
I am not a metal fan, but DP was one of the most talented group of musicians to ever play together. Jon Lord was a classically trained keyboardist (he even works in a little piece of Flight of the Bumblebee here), Ian Paice one of the most respected drummers in rock history, Ritchie Blackmore essentially invented shredding, and of course Ian Gillans unfreakingbelieveable voice. Fantastic band.
Back then... Some Live Concerts got you Rocking and Rolling... Audience anticipation.... Classic like this just leaves you Speechless , Mouth Open , hand's by your side ..
Great reaction, Jenna! Deep Purple was popular when I was in my early 20s. I can remember driving around in my VW Beetle with their Machine Head 8 track blaring. Lots of great music from them...Smoke on the Water, Lazy. Highway Star and many more.
Deep purple especially this lineup was absolutely amazing. My stepdad saw them live three times in Chicago. Lucky dude, id give my right arm to have seen them in their prime
A great band. Saw them live in 1971. Needless to say, they were excellent! They don't make music like this these days... unfortunately! Kindest regards from England. 😊😎🎸🇬🇧🇺🇦
The first time I heard Deep Purple was on 21st april 1968. _"Roundabouts"_ played a gig at "Parkskolen" school close to our home in Taastrup, Denmark. When on stage they announced they had just decided to change their name to _"Deep Purple"._ This was the very first _"Deep Purple"_ concert. This was just before I was born, but as the band played very loud I am sure I would have heard, or sensed, the music. A few months later we (now I was born) visited my grand parents in another Danish town, "Ballerup". This evening another British band, _"the New Yardbirds",_ was playing a few houses away. Later summer, it would have been warm and windows open, so little me have heard this loud gig too. The band entered stage with a brand new name: _"Led Zeppelin"._ When I discovered these two lucky instances I stopped wondering why I am so fond of rock music.
my generation, my music, our parents thought we were crazy and screamed when we played these songs, our music was exceptional and these bands not only had messages to convey but their music and the musicians were at a level of perfection that few bands after them have matched, an era blessed by the gods, we are pleased that your generation appreciates our musical era 60s/70s, an italo-french fan
Ian Gillan (singer) sang the part of Jesus in the original London studio recording of Jesus Christ Superstar. Listen to his version of Gethsemane. He nailed it there, too. By the way he’s pushing 80 now and as far as I know he can still hit those high notes. The man is amazing.
The" double keyboard instrument" is the mighty Hammond Organ and Leslie speaker. This instrument combo was almost as important to the classic rock sound as the guitar. All this from an instrument invented in 1939.Often imitated never replicated.
Hey Jenna, what a great song to start the adventure into Deep Purple! It’s an absolute classic and anyone listening to it for the first time is blown away by it, particularly the vocals 😂 Reference the organ, that’s the classic organ used for Rock, a Hammond! The amazing guitar solo - by ‘the man in black’ as he is known by due to his choice of attire 😜 I guess you’re up for more then? 🌹
I can tell you when we went to see Deep Purple 5 times we were nothing like those statues in the audience. We were rockin' out hard the whole show. What a great band.
The Audience had to behave that way at that recording...they were told to sit still.... This Band at that time was a pack of Genius Musicians. The Bass and Drum Combo....just listen to tight foundation.... And Mr. Charisma himself on the Guitar..... And lets not forget the Man on the Organ...delicate And last but for sure not least - The guy who sang Jesus Christ Superstar before... and then compare it to the stuff that was played around them at that time.... This is peak performance. Well done Reaction - and yes...we were waiting for it to speed up after you talked about the chilled vibe 🙂 But thats ok. There are bands that surprise you....(like these..) and there are Bands that deliver exactly what you expect from them (Motörhead for example)...but thats OK and makes it so enjoyable... Keep it coming !
Really like your thoughts on this. I think even the audience is part of the performance, conveying the indifference of the masses to the specter of war.
So glad you have discovered my fave group from my early twenties. There is so much more to savour, Strange kind of woman, Space Truckin, Perfect strangers, Smoke on the Water (you may have heard the riff, it is famous), Black Night, Burn, etc etc. Lead guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, formed Rainbow after DP broke up in 1975. Their Rising album is unbelievably good, especially Stargazer and its follow up/sequel A Light in the Black. You also simply must do some Boston too! More than a Feeling is a great starter then do Foreplay/Long time. Their debut, self titled album is all good. There simply isn’t a bad song or filer on it. I’m 70 now and love my hard rock and heavy metal! LOUD!
It was for tv in Denmark if I'm correct .And it was the best Child in Time version I've ever heard . They were so focused and played so tight. And Gillan was unbelievable. So glad I've discovered this version . Got 7 or 8 dvd's with live performances of Purple , but this ...😋.
So where do we start with Deep Purple ?? So many classic Albums and tracks to choose ! From Black Night to Fireball , Smoke on the Water to Speed King ,and then you have all the line up changes along the way ! This was the Original line up when they formed ,or became famous ,Ian Gillian Vocals , Jon Lord Keyboards , Roger Glover Bass Guitar ,Ian Paice Drums and Ritchie Blackmore Guitars , in fact Brian May of Queen regarded Ritchie Blackmore one of his favourite Guitarists and an influence when he was younger :) David Coverdale was also a vocalist for a while after Gillian left the band ,but later joined again ha! Once to start listening too Deep Purple music you WILL always compare other modern bands with them ! As has been said the 3 legends of Rock Black Sabbath , Deep Purple , Led Zeppelin are in my view the bench mark of ALL rock music past and present !
Great reaction to a great performance. As others have said, I think the audience was asked to be quiet during the recording of this performance and they responded with a conformity more typical of the times - contrary to now, when you can often go to a live gig and despite amplification not hear the artist properly over everybody talking to their friends about anything other than the music 🙄
that "organ like thing" is a Hammond organ, used a lot in the 70's from some rock bands and Deep Purple was one of them, now i worth a lot (at least in Italy) and you can't easily find one.
Over a 130m lps. Biggest band in the world in 1973 in gate receipts and lps sold. RIP Jon Douglas Lord. You are watching one of the greatest rock bands from the 70s.
I love your interpretation of this song -- you said things -- that made good sense -- that I've never heard before. And I've seen probably 100 reactions to this and even I myself hadn't thought of things you said -- the fast instrumental section perhaps denoting what war is like and then how when it repeats it is how war repeats among mankind. They have A LOT of really good songs -- nothing that takes you on a trip like THIS, but a lot of great songs. I'd say the most dramatic and cool other song is from 5 years later with 2 other singers and a different guitarist. It's called "You Keep On Moving" -- I think you'd dig it. Another really cool, wild, musically interesting song of theirs is called "Burn" -- it's the song that led to me buying my first album ever. Thanks for this, I really enjoyed it. 😊
1970 i was 3 years old ,but my start as a Metalhead was 1980 , today with over 56 years and still long hair is that the same strong love to Heavy Metal Music , i want to sing like Ian , as a Singer or like Bruce from Iron Maiden
What people don't understand is back in the day bands like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, scared the crap out of the audience early on. A couple years later they were dancing in the streets to this music.
Progressive rock giants who made hard rock a fine art and unleashed some of the greatest guitar riffs known to the world, England's Deep Purple are bona fide classic rock royalty. Deep Purple's soon to be classic Mark II version made its proper debut and established the sonic blueprint that would immortalize this lineup of the band on 1970's awesome In Rock ... the subsequent non-LP single "Black Night" falling just shy of topping the U.K. pop charts. Released in 1971, Fireball was also a smash, scoring a hit with "Strange Kind of Woman." Machine Head, one of the essential hard rock albums of all time, contains the "mother of all guitar riffs" -- and one of the first learned by every beginning guitarist -- in "Smoke on the Water." The song positioned Deep Purple among rock's elite; the band consolidated its status with the 1973 studio follow-up Who Do We Think We Are and the hit "Woman from Tokyo." - Edited excerpts from AllMusic
I'm sure other people have commented already but the reason the audience were so chilled is the performance was being filmed in a tv studio and the producer of the tv show would have asked the audience to keep from reacting until the end of the band's performance. In a normal concert things would have been quite different. 😊
This was the first time, I was listening to "Child In Time" focused on Ritchie Blackmoore, and why Miyako from LOVEBITES has mentioned him as top guitar idol. Second priority for me was the similarity to "Edge Of The World" - that was definitely inspired by this song (although it was not officially composed by Miyako, she had her hands on it!). IIRC, Deep Purple was in Japan... in 1972? 18 years later, a fan was born, because her Japanese mother constantly played Deep Purple, Queen, etc.
As this was a recoding for the TV, the audience was forced to stay calm, not to clap, not to make any noises, don't sing along or to move, etc.
At least my mom told me so, as she was in the audience back then ... :) Thanks for your reaction!
That would be torture for her or any of those there. Didn't even see a head nodding.
Thanks for that explanation. I own this in a dvd set and have always wondered what was wrong with those people. But now that you explain it that way, and I think about how "the MAN" can put its foot on your neck, it makes a lot more sense.
Correct. The band didn't want sound from the audience to interfere on the recording.
@@larsrons7937 I don't think iit was the band so much as BBC. Who would be the ones with the rights and ownership of the recording. They wanted the recording to be as clean as possible.

me too - invent a time machine please, I want to go to so many concerts!
I understand your view, this is a masterpiece, and Gillan puts this thing over the top.
Many great works in the progressive rock era are better as studio recordings though it’s fun to hear the live material after the fact.
Anyway, don’t close off your mind to some great shit simply because you want to wallow in the past. It doesn’t matter what instruments are used to get there.
That said, fuck pop music. But that was always true.
Master musicians 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻Jon Lord on the Hammond Organ. Classically trained. Ritchie Blackmore on lead guitar, Roger Glover on Bass, Ian Paice on Drums and the incredible voice of Ian Gillan 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The studio was recording this live and everyone was told to sit still and quiet. Not the technology we have today 😂
This is every thing I would have said . Thanks to my older bros growing up with this type of music was special and fun .
oh yessssssssss fuck yeah deep purple.
RIP Jon Douglas Lord 😢
I would have had to be tied down and my mouth shut not to react to this song like the audience.
@@JimBikeTN11 Same here 😂
Ritchie Blackmoore = One of the greatest guitar players of all times!
Top 3 in the world in his day.
One of the creators of shredding
@@robertpetre9378it’s not his shredding that makes him stand out. It’s his perfect phrasing and composition. Everything is very carefully and thoughtfully placed.

That voice of Ian Gillans is one of the absolute standouts in Rock history.
They don't call him Jesus Christ Superstar superstar for nothing. Andrew Loyd Weber could have had any singer he wanted in the world. He picked Ian Gillan. To Robert Plants' dismay. He wanted that gig, so the insider's say. He hated Gillan after that and called him just a screamer. Gillan laughed at him. Jealousy is a sin, Robert, lol 😂
You just witnessed one of the rock gods of music. In Ian Gillan you have one of the greatest vocalists that has ever blessed this planet.
One of the best quintets ever put together.
The audience were told not to react as they would ruin the sound of the recording… Remember this was 70’s tech .. it would have been picked up.. Inside they were rocking 😀
AMEN!
Holy true!!
You hit it out of the park. This is best live performance by any rock band ever in my humble opinion 🙌
@@Fuxerz Totally agree . This is as good as it has ever got in the "rock and roll years "
I would put the Who "won't get fooled again with Keith Moon's last performance in 1975 as Number 2 , and the Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter " with Lisa Fischer live Number 3. Then it is close between Led Zep and Stairway to heaven and Fleetwood "The Green Manalishi", with Hendrix at Woodstock = The Star spangled Banner in the mix not forgetting Bowie's last ever performance of Heroes in Berlin. Where it was originally recorded.
No makeup no horrible plastic surgery no autotune or any other interference. Just raw talent.
1972,,, I was 12 listening to "Made in Japan", and I can hear my mom screaming "Will you turn that noise down!" I grew up on Deep purple and many others like them. Real music from the soul. No pre-recorded live shows. No click tracks. No backing tracks. No pitch correction. No LIVE auto-tune. A time when people were real! A time when we expected people to be real!!
They where ask to be quite because it was being recorded
And even young people had manners back then.
This live version is exactly what music should be...FLAWLESS with ZERO studio fiddling
Do not underestimate the work of the audio technician that set up all the mics and preset them to make sure it sounds good.
back then they were scientists... today they are just employees...
Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple the holy triad of rock music🤘
Old/classic Aerosmith,Pink Floyd and VH
Uriah Heep, Cactus, Zior, May Blitz, Blue Oyster Cult ect they all were heros of rock'n'roll
Judas priest
My 3 favorites
and uriah heep
This is one of the greatest masterpieces of Rock music, Gorgeous Jenna
Without Deep Purple there wouldn't be Metal music! 🤘
Next Purple song: "Smoke On The Water"
Highway star and space Truckin as well.
It's not metal it's hard rock dear
@@vyshaklep6663however the comment doesn’t call Purple metal, but there wouldn’t be metal without them, at least not as we know it.
So many metal bands list Purple as influences
@@dw7704 no metal music was basically influenced by Black Sabbath
@@vyshaklep6663 no reason why there can’t be more than one band filling that role, and many metal bands list Deep Purple as influences
That takes nothing away from Sabbath
Or any other band that has been an influence
My comment does not say they were the sole influence or even the biggest one.
So I stand by my comment, it is accurate
When a blind man cries, Another beautiful song by him
Oh yes! The live version.
Not sure which was more intense - the song, or your reaction! Brilliantly done and so well interpreted! I think you were spot on with the chaos of war and then it all repeats itself, but can also be applied in so many different ways! I love the way these musicians, in particular the guitarist, tell a story with their solos - it makes the listening so much more interesting - especially if you've been doing so for over 50 years! The "Purple" rabbit hole is so vast, but you won't be disappointed with any of it! One of the finest examples of that story-telling though, comes from the guitarists next band, Rainbow - and in particular "Stargazer" which is absolutely epic! To understand everything I would strongly recommend you study the lyrics first! Keep 'em coming and well done once again!
INCREDIBLE . Ian Gillan’s vocal dexterity at its BEST on Child In Time 👊🏼
Love your reaction of someting Ive been growing up with
That's the kind of music you have when 5 genius meet together.
The talent of that lineup in the band is insane. And as others have mentioned, the crowd had to be still (but I'm sure deep (purple) inside they were rocking out).
its far more likely that this audience had never heard anything quite like this, very early metal influence.
@@EricZ1982 The band demanded the audience to keep quiet, they didn't want them to interfere with the sound on the recording.
Without the kinks l think you mean.
Made in Japan - one of the best live albums ever. DEEP PURPLE
jon lord the best keyboard player in rock history
The audience was under directions to remain silent during the performance because, the studio was recording their performance and didn't want any external back noise. Things were different for live performances then.
Concerts were wild back then and anything goes. This was not a normal concert. This was for a TV show.
A legendary rock band. About the audience, this wasn't a concert, it was a performance on a short-lived British TV show called "Doing Their Thing" so the studio audience couldn't behave like a concert audience even if they wanted to. I'm sure some were there just to see a TV music show not matter who was performing. Keep up the great reactions!
Always love the original 'Autotune' self pitch correction from these times. The hand cupped over the ear with their voice bouncing off their palm up into the ear, allowing the singers to self monitor their own pitch and adjust accordingly.
One of the best reactions to this song I have seen. Nice job.
I'm so glad that I was a teenager starting to listen to music in the early 70's - Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc
Pour moi, le meilleur a été crée dans les années 70-80-90 !!!!!!
Brilliant reaction! Thanks. As one of my favorite bands of all time but especially from late 60s through the early 70s, I was fortunate enough to see them live in Frankfurt, Germany, in either '73 or'74. I can't remember, I saw so many great concerts back then. After all, it was 50 years ago.
I have heard this song 200+ times in my life. Each time is better than the last.
I really loved the fact that you went into the lyrics and associated it with the rest of the performance; this is what every person doing a react should do, especially with a song with such complexity and a deep meaning. Congrats!
Wow thank you! I feel like it’s really 50/50… people either enjoy it or hate it, and wish I would just listen to the song and say nothing. 😂🤷🏻♀️ So thanks!!
Back in the day, the TV studio people didn't want to deal with the noise of a cheering crowd in addition to trying to balance the sound levels of each instrument of the band. So they told the audience to behave and be quiet. But still, if I were there, I would have one hell of a hard time to not allow my emotions to show during that killer performance. But this audience in particular looked as if they were all given heavy-duty tranquilizers before the show. It's almost as if they are on another planet, or plane of existence. It's comical, and yet I'm so happy that we have this remarkably high-quality live recording of this band at their peak, really firing on all cylinders here. And to you, thanks for your honest reaction. This was so much fun.
I was born in 1971, and knew the name Deep Purple, and a couple of songs like 'Smoke on the Water', but I didn't hear this masterpiece until the TH-cam reactors started to cover it. Ian Gillan is also known for his work in 'Jesus Christ, Superstar' in the title role, and guitarist Richie Blackmoore would go on to found the band Rainbow with the legendary Ronnie James Dio.
Gillan’s just sang on the original Jesus Christ superstar concept album released in 1970 anything after that was performed by different people. Ian is still the original and the best..he set the template for all that followed.
I thought it was Ted Neeley who played Jesus.
@@fredatkins5890 in the 1973 movie Ted Neely played Jesus.. Ian Gillan only performed the role on the 1970 album
Hi lovely Jenna,
Now we are back to one of my first band experiences back in the early 70's. Deep Purple along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin was the first hard rock bands I came in contact with.
This song was one of the greatest masterpieces written in rock during the 70's along with Led Zeppelin's "Stairways to heaven". When this lineup of Deep Purple was reunited again in 1985 and I got to see them in 1986 and Ian Gillan still pulled of this song so perfectly, I found my jaw in my knee... 😁😊😋
I just love this song and this old performance.
See yaa on Twitch.....
The audience in this clip were actually stuffed people randomly placed in the studio.
There is no other explanation to their lack of reaction to these two crescendos.
Also, each time I watch this clip, I notice that this "live" version is quite different from the studio one.
The keyboard thing sounded very "organy" because it's an organ. A Hammond organ to be a little more precise.
I love your interpretation and analysis of this song. Your thoughts were very insightful and impressive. I've got to compliment you on having a very good thinking mind and say thank you for posting this worthy song on your channel.
The keyboard is a Hammond B-3 organ, played through a Leslie Tone Cabinet. Jon Lord is a master of the B-3. Fun fact, Deep Purple was listed in the 1975 Guiness Book of world Records as the loudest band on the planet!
I witnessed that tour outside in Hartford with a huge crowd and a PA you could hear in New Haven!
Yes, they were listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the loudest band. However, Jon Lord, in 1974 stated that Emerson, Lake & Palmer were the loudest band. Here is Jon Lord's statement; Jon Lord (Deep Purple):
"Both crews (Purple and ELP) seem to be playing the my-amp's-bigger-than-your-amp game. Don't believe what they tell you, no other band's got this amount of volume."
@@frederickpando9444 Saw ELP outside around that time as well, we were in the Yale Bowl and they had their quad PA system, it was quite loud but what you really noticed was the seperation in the mix, it was incredible, as good as the WHO's quad set up. The only PA that I rate a hair better is Pink Floyd as they had 5 channels when I saw them. All these bands are Rock Gods forever!
,... Hello, dear FREDDY! THERE WERE A LOT MORE OF BANDS, THAT PLAYED OVERLOUDLY BACK IN THE YEARS😊!! MORE EXAMPLES: MANOWAR / HAWKWIND / LED ZEPPELIN / BLACK SABBATH / URIAH HEEP / MOTÖRHEAD / IRON MAIDEN /... and so on 😊!!! BERNIE GERMANY 😊😊
@@bernhardherrmann9230 Motorhead was the loudest I ever saw only because it was in a bar and a confined space. Deep Purple was much louder outside.
Where is such kind of music today- I dont hear it. I know this song since 50 years, and each time I hear it, it is fascinating again.
Great reaction again! I love how you delve into the lyrics, most other channels don't. Lyrics are a huge part of metal in general, I think non listeners are surprised by this. Cool thoughts on the music too. Looking forward to the next one already! Carry on....
Very true, Sir. Lyrics matter. I've often heard, and pretty much believe, that the difference between metal and hard rock is lyrical content. Sex, drugs, partying as the subjects equal hard rock, Social issues, Introspection, life's meaning, etc. equal metal. Not accurate 100% of the time but it's a pretty good indicator.
Absolutely, killer music + killer lyrics = killer song. That's why metal is still strong as ever, thank goodness.
I'm fascinated looking at your reactions, face expressions, comments, etc coming from not just a woman but from a far newer generation than mine, who's enjoying a piece of music and set of musicians I grew up with and was struck at least as much as you. It was a real pleasure, Koality Reactions! Cheers!
Everyone misunderstands the reaction of the audience on this video.
They were in awe and I believe told to stay quiet.
Told to say stay quite, nothing more
European audiences were very quiet in that time period, hence why the original British punk band, Mott the Hoople, and their teenaged hooligan fans were such a shock to club owners.
This was a ‘for TV’ recording and, back then, audiences were asked to stay still and quiet so as not to affect the recording.
This was in the early days of bands perfoming in a studio for live broadcast, so the audiences were told to sit still and stay quiet, so as not to interfere with the sound or the broadcast. This was not like the live broadcasts we are used to today, where the band just gig and have it filmed as is. I have been fan of this band since they first came out, and still listen to them to this day. I'm so glad young people are still discovering them. Keep it up, love from England, UK x
When i see a reactor say "my first time listening to Deep Purple, not sure who they are and i will check out Child in Time" i think oh boy you are about to have an experience ...
Deep Purple were always a band comprised of phenomenal musicians... they started out as a British pop rock band in 1968 and scored hits in America like 'Hush' ... 'Kentucky woman'... In 1969, their mercurial guitarist Ritchie Blackmore wanted a change after hearing the new 'heavy rock' sound by Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin... Deep Purple replaced original singer Rod Evans w/ vocalist Ian Gillan... original bassist Nick Simper w/ Roger Glover (bass) and also were the first rock band to record a 'Concerto' album w/ a full classical orchestra.
This line-up of Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Jon Lord (keyboards) and Ian Paice (drums) made history in 1970 w/ their 5th album 'In rock'... this was filmed in a TV studio as Deep Purple were promoting their first 'heavy rock' album and few had heard music that was this loud and powerful... Deep Purple pushed the limits of heavy rock in the 70's - like Led Zeppelin, they didn't want to keep 1 sound and wrote diverse songs w/ the albums 'Fireball' (1971)... 'Machine head' (1972)... 'Who do we think we are' (1973)... And it was their 1972 live album 'Made in Japan' that gave Deep Purple a huge hit and the band soon had 5 records on the US charts.
Some of Deep Purple's iconic songs were recorded in this time: 'Smoke on the water'... 'Highway star' ... 'Speed king' ... 'Fireball' ... 'Woman from Tokyo'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
However, both Ian Gillan & Roger Glover were out of Deep Purple in 1973 after guitarist Ritchie Blackmore made some demand for him to stay in the band... In 1974, Deep Purple hired Glenn Hughes (bass + vocals) and David Coverdale (lead vocals) and released 'Burn'... It made Deep Purple a massive band that year... Unfortunately, Ritchie Blackmore did not like the musical direction on the next album 'Stormbringer' that year and quit Deep Purple in 1975 to form his own band Rainbow.
This line-up w/ Coverdale & Hughes scored some major singles - 'Burn'... 'Soldier of fortune'... 'Stormbringer' ...'Mistreated'...
Deep Purple hired former James Gang guitarist Tommy Bolin in '75 and released 'Come taste the band'... but fans were not interested in the band without Ritchie Blackmore... After a difficult tour marred by mishaps and drug problems, Deep Purple split up in 1976.
Tommy Bolin passed away that year from a drug OD...
In 1984, the classic 5 members of Deep Purple (Blackmore/ Gillan/ Glover/ Lord/ Paice) reunited and released their comeback album 'Perfect strangers'... But conflicts between Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore resurfaced after the 1987 album 'House of blue light'... Ian Gillan was fired in 1989 and replaced by Joe Lynn Turner (former singer of Blackmore's band Rainbow) for 1 album 'Slaves and masters' in 1990.
Deep Purple wanted Ian Gillan back on vocals for the band's 25th anniversary album & tour... Ritchie Blackmore opposed it but gave in and recorded 'The Battle rages on' in 1993 w/ Ian Gillan... Frustrated, Ritchie Blackmore quit the band in '93 in the middle of the tour.
Deep Purple decided to carry on in 1994 w/ former Kansas guitarist Steve Morse joining... They enjoyed a stable recording and touring era w/ Morse in the band, releasing 'Purpendicular' in 1996 and 'Abandon' in 1998... By 2002, founding keyboardist Jon Lord amicably left the band to focus on classical music projects... He was replaced by Don Airey (keyboards)... Sadly, Jon Lord passed away from cancer in 2012.
Ian Gillan had said that Deep Purple had enjoyed the years w/ Steve Morse on guitar because Ritchie Blackmore was an unpredictable character on and off stage... They also recorded and toured successfully and announced plans to close out their career after 2017.
Some of their newer songs - 'Vincent Price' ... 'Sometimes I feel like screaming' ... 'Rapture of the deep' ... 'The surprising' ... 'Throw my bones'
In 2022, guitarist Steve Morse left Deep Purple to care for his wife who had been afflicted w/ cancer... He was replaced by Simon McBride (guitar) on tour and Deep Purple has announced plans to record a new album.
Would love to see you do more Deep Purple, My favourite band of all time, I genuinely feel every single one of their songs is a masterpiece. Masters of rock.
This is 1970, The audience was told to sit still and be quiet because it was a live Television Recording on ITV4 I believe.
I loved your reaction! Thanks! Rock on. Just subscribed.
Everyone who watches this mentions the audience. I can only assume they were asked to keep still because it was being recorded. The keyboard player, Jon Lord, was a classically trained master. As a drummer in the 1970s I loved Ian Paice. I always wanted his hair.
If You liked this live version of "Child in Time" with that incredible quiet audience, I strongly recommend the one on "Made in Japan“ some time later. In my personal view some of "Deep Purple‘s" best live recordings ever! Five of the best musicians in Rock History having the time of their lives, at least on stage!! Btw: very nice reaction!
My era. Our gods. We were spoilt in Britain at the time
…DP et al
They play this note for note, every time.. they are an amazing band.. natural key of a keyboard (C/Am) all white notes.. haha
Not to brag but when I was 19 (Im 51) I stood backstage at a gig in a circle and sculled bourbon shots with Ian Gillan.. and he did this song that night, just like this.... he must have been in his 50s at the time haha... I was never able to see Deep Purple I wasnt old enough.. but that was a bit cool..
The keyboard is a Hammond B3.. played through Marshall amps..
8:00 Bolero beat.. with a full rock band.. love playing this bit..
You MUST youtube "Deep Purple Live In Japan" and listen to the whole thing!!!!
Interesting interpretation re: the feeling of War.. Twice.. We have had 2 World World.. So very apt..
Good reaction. Yes i was laughing when you said you did not expect this cool soft song. Always amazed to see the audience in this video. They just look very stiff. Nowadays the audience would be headbanging. My favorite song by Deep Purple, but different from the studio version. Did see them live last year but they sadly did not do this song. Thanks for this reaction.
I think you nailed it with the notion of history repeating itself in the song.
That's a Hammond organ, which were chiefly marketed to churches, but a lot of keyboardists favored them for their distinctive tone
Love that you actually get it. Most dont. I am impressed and subscribed dont make me regret this
I am not a metal fan, but DP was one of the most talented group of musicians to ever play together. Jon Lord was a classically trained keyboardist (he even works in a little piece of Flight of the Bumblebee here), Ian Paice one of the most respected drummers in rock history, Ritchie Blackmore essentially invented shredding, and of course Ian Gillans unfreakingbelieveable voice. Fantastic band.
Jon Lord plays a Hammond B3 organ so, yes, it is ‘organy!’
At the Keyboard, jon Lord, the godfather of Hammond Organ ..❤❤
Back then... Some Live Concerts got you Rocking and Rolling...
Audience anticipation....
Classic like this just leaves you Speechless , Mouth Open , hand's by your side ..
Great reaction, Jenna! Deep Purple was popular when I was in my early 20s. I can remember driving around in my VW Beetle with their Machine Head 8 track blaring. Lots of great music from them...Smoke on the Water, Lazy. Highway Star and many more.
Deep purple especially this lineup was absolutely amazing. My stepdad saw them live three times in Chicago. Lucky dude, id give my right arm to have seen them in their prime
Audience instructed to be quiet and be still for live recording. Ian Gillan hitting and holding A5 was a one of a kind task!
Welcome to one of the most talented bands of all time.
How could one band have that many world class musicians in it, amazing. What's also amazing is that she's never heard of them lol.
I have heard of them! In my intro I said I didn’t think I’d heard anything by them… (But that wasn’t true anyway, I’ve heard Smoke on the Water.)
❤
A great band. Saw them live in 1971. Needless to say, they were excellent! They don't make music like this these days... unfortunately!
Kindest regards from England. 😊😎🎸🇬🇧🇺🇦
The first time I heard Deep Purple was on 21st april 1968. _"Roundabouts"_ played a gig at "Parkskolen" school close to our home in Taastrup, Denmark. When on stage they announced they had just decided to change their name to _"Deep Purple"._ This was the very first _"Deep Purple"_ concert. This was just before I was born, but as the band played very loud I am sure I would have heard, or sensed, the music.
A few months later we (now I was born) visited my grand parents in another Danish town, "Ballerup". This evening another British band, _"the New Yardbirds",_ was playing a few houses away. Later summer, it would have been warm and windows open, so little me have heard this loud gig too. The band entered stage with a brand new name: _"Led Zeppelin"._
When I discovered these two lucky instances I stopped wondering why I am so fond of rock music.
my generation, my music, our parents thought we were crazy and screamed when we played these songs, our music was exceptional and these bands not only had messages to convey but their music and the musicians were at a level of perfection that few bands after them have matched, an era blessed by the gods, we are pleased that your generation appreciates our musical era 60s/70s, an italo-french fan
Listen to Perfect Strangers by the same band years after this one.
Great band all around 🎉
A one of a kind vocalist. An incredible band. Has to be one of my all-time top 5 live gigs.
Ian Gillan (singer) sang the part of Jesus in the original London studio recording of Jesus Christ Superstar. Listen to his version of Gethsemane. He nailed it there, too. By the way he’s pushing 80 now and as far as I know he can still hit those high notes. The man is amazing.
The" double keyboard instrument" is the mighty Hammond Organ and Leslie speaker. This instrument combo was almost as important to the classic rock sound as the guitar. All this from an instrument invented in 1939.Often imitated never replicated.
Hey Jenna, what a great song to start the adventure into Deep Purple! It’s an absolute classic and anyone listening to it for the first time is blown away by it, particularly the vocals 😂 Reference the organ, that’s the classic organ used for Rock, a Hammond! The amazing guitar solo - by ‘the man in black’ as he is known by due to his choice of attire 😜
I guess you’re up for more then? 🌹
The audience wasn't chilled, they were stunned. They'd never heard anything like it before!!!!
1972 год . 🤣
Я вырос на этой музыке ! Я с Сибири , с крайнего севера города Норильска , и я вырос на этой музыке в СССР !
"Wait for it," exactly what I thought. "A beautiful blending of insanity," didn't think of that!
Brand new band...I growled up with it ! Best time ever in this sick world ! Real people- real music! Headbangers time !
Love your reaction :)
Deep Purple was the greatest collection of talent in rock.
I can tell you when we went to see Deep Purple 5 times we were nothing like those statues in the audience. We were rockin' out hard the whole show. What a great band.
you were feeling it and your face was showing ... great reaction
Music in the 70's was just the best!
The Audience had to behave that way at that recording...they were told to sit still....
This Band at that time was a pack of Genius Musicians.
The Bass and Drum Combo....just listen to tight foundation....
And Mr. Charisma himself on the Guitar.....
And lets not forget the Man on the Organ...delicate
And last but for sure not least - The guy who sang Jesus Christ Superstar before...
and then compare it to the stuff that was played around them at that time....
This is peak performance.
Well done Reaction - and yes...we were waiting for it to speed up after you talked about the chilled vibe 🙂
But thats ok. There are bands that surprise you....(like these..) and there are Bands that deliver exactly what you expect from them (Motörhead for example)...but thats OK and makes it so enjoyable...
Keep it coming !
Really like your thoughts on this. I think even the audience is part of the performance, conveying the indifference of the masses to the specter of war.
So glad you have discovered my fave group from my early twenties. There is so much more to savour, Strange kind of woman, Space Truckin, Perfect strangers, Smoke on the Water (you may have heard the riff, it is famous), Black Night, Burn, etc etc. Lead guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, formed Rainbow after DP broke up in 1975. Their Rising album is unbelievably good, especially Stargazer and its follow up/sequel A Light in the Black. You also simply must do some Boston too! More than a Feeling is a great starter then do Foreplay/Long time. Their debut, self titled album is all good. There simply isn’t a bad song or filer on it. I’m 70 now and love my hard rock and heavy metal! LOUD!
It was for tv in Denmark if I'm correct .And it was the best Child in Time version I've ever heard . They were so focused and played so tight. And Gillan was unbelievable. So glad I've discovered this version . Got 7 or 8 dvd's with live performances of Purple , but this ...😋.
So where do we start with Deep Purple ?? So many classic Albums and tracks to choose ! From Black Night to Fireball , Smoke on the Water to Speed King ,and then you have all the line up changes along the way ! This was the Original line up when they formed ,or became famous ,Ian Gillian Vocals , Jon Lord Keyboards , Roger Glover Bass Guitar ,Ian Paice Drums and Ritchie Blackmore Guitars , in fact Brian May of Queen regarded Ritchie Blackmore one of his favourite Guitarists and an influence when he was younger :) David Coverdale was also a vocalist for a while after Gillian left the band ,but later joined again ha! Once to start listening too Deep Purple music you WILL always compare other modern bands with them ! As has been said the 3 legends of Rock Black Sabbath , Deep Purple , Led Zeppelin are in my view the bench mark of ALL rock music past and present !
As you said the 3 legends of rock, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple also known as The Unholy Trinity!
Gillan, not Gillian.
yes sorry Gillan :) @@psbarrow
Your conception of this song is spot on, thank you 👍
Great reaction to a great performance. As others have said, I think the audience was asked to be quiet during the recording of this performance and they responded with a conformity more typical of the times - contrary to now, when you can often go to a live gig and despite amplification not hear the artist properly over everybody talking to their friends about anything other than the music 🙄
that "organ like thing" is a Hammond organ, used a lot in the 70's from some rock bands and Deep Purple was one of them, now i worth a lot (at least in Italy) and you can't easily find one.
I think it is a B3....and you are right. If you find one, BUY IT! Rebuild it if you have to.
Over a 130m lps. Biggest band in the world in 1973 in gate receipts and lps sold. RIP Jon Douglas Lord. You are watching one of the greatest rock bands from the 70s.
Great reaction young lady
I love your interpretation of this song -- you said things -- that made good sense -- that I've never heard before. And I've seen probably 100 reactions to this and even I myself hadn't thought of things you said -- the fast instrumental section perhaps denoting what war is like and then how when it repeats it is how war repeats among mankind. They have A LOT of really good songs -- nothing that takes you on a trip like THIS, but a lot of great songs. I'd say the most dramatic and cool other song is from 5 years later with 2 other singers and a different guitarist. It's called "You Keep On Moving" -- I think you'd dig it. Another really cool, wild, musically interesting song of theirs is called "Burn" -- it's the song that led to me buying my first album ever. Thanks for this, I really enjoyed it. 😊
The audience simply had no understanding of how epic this performance was.
1970 i was 3 years old ,but my start as a Metalhead was 1980 , today with over 56 years and still long hair is that the same strong love to Heavy Metal Music , i want to sing like Ian , as a Singer or like Bruce from Iron Maiden
What people don't understand is back in the day bands like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, scared the crap out of the audience early on. A couple years later they were dancing in the streets to this music.
Some of the best film recording and editing I’ve seen on such an old track. Brilliant.
Progressive rock giants who made hard rock a fine art and unleashed some of the greatest guitar riffs known to the world, England's Deep Purple are bona fide classic rock royalty.
Deep Purple's soon to be classic Mark II version made its proper debut and established the sonic blueprint that would immortalize this lineup of the band on 1970's awesome In Rock ...
the subsequent non-LP single "Black Night" falling just shy of topping the U.K. pop charts. Released in 1971, Fireball was also a smash, scoring a hit with "Strange Kind of Woman."
Machine Head, one of the essential hard rock albums of all time, contains the "mother of all guitar riffs" -- and one of the first learned by every beginning guitarist -- in "Smoke on the Water." The song positioned Deep Purple among rock's elite; the band consolidated its status with the 1973 studio follow-up Who Do We Think We Are and the hit "Woman from Tokyo." - Edited excerpts from AllMusic
I'm sure other people have commented already but the reason the audience were so chilled is the performance was being filmed in a tv studio and the producer of the tv show would have asked the audience to keep from reacting until the end of the band's performance. In a normal concert things would have been quite different. 😊
Bad Co. opening for Deep Purple was my very first concert. It was epic!
I was Marine in 70s love this understand was in Japan being polite is most important
This was the first time, I was listening to "Child In Time" focused on Ritchie Blackmoore, and why Miyako from LOVEBITES has mentioned him as top guitar idol. Second priority for me was the similarity to "Edge Of The World" - that was definitely inspired by this song (although it was not officially composed by Miyako, she had her hands on it!). IIRC, Deep Purple was in Japan... in 1972? 18 years later, a fan was born, because her Japanese mother constantly played Deep Purple, Queen, etc.
Now you are listening to real music girl by Real musicians.. I can't think of any modern day band that has this much talent and quality of sound
