A British band would not sing about Vietnam war, it was not our war! Ian Gillan the singer said it was written at the time when USA and Russia were threatening to use nuclear bombs, this was absolutely terrifying to people in the UK as we would be in the middle of it (don't know why, something to do with distances ), so it was generally about UK war. The blind men shooting up the world, were the USA and Russian governments.

The epitome of talent right here. All of them. So glad you checked this out. Supreme musicianship.

Probably the most collective talent of any band

Live on TV 1970, during the Vietnam War. Recorded live for a TV show. The audience was told by the TV people not to react until the song was over. They didn't want any audience noise on the recording.

This is one of the most important songs in rock history! It is written against the war in vietnam.

This song will always be relevant throughout history. 🖖🏻🇺🇸

Deep Purple was one of the most iconic bands from the late 60s and early 70s that blew into the scene with a different sound along with Uriah Heep, Moody Blues, Procol Harum and Emerson Lake and Palmer they all introduced different instruments and recording variations on their albums

Deep Purple is one of the three co-founders of heavy metal. Lead singer: Ian Gillian Lead Guitar: Ritchie Blackmore (who later had his own band, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow) Bass: Roger Glover Keyboard: John Lord Drums: Ian Paice ^^ Those are the members as of the time the video was recorded. The band toured earlier this year, with a somewhat different membership.

The doydends of heavry rock , and in no particular order, Led Zeppelin , Black Sabbath and Deep Purple who invented and have the world the gender. The rest just followed, all 3 British bands born out of the late 60's and very very successful becoming supreme rock legends through being stunningly good musicians

Ian had some pipes! All of them are some of the greatest musicians ever assembled in one band. Deep Purple is still together with 3 of this lineups 5 members. R.I.P. Jon Lord.

Back in the day it was gillan, plant, Rodgers of Free and a couple of others, they set the standard for the rock vocal that to this day hasn't been surpassed. Timeless, epic and iconic

The song was/is a Protest Song Against The Vietnam War.

notice how quiet the audience are, if the music stops you would hear a tear drop, that is how captivating these musicians are ...

All these songs from the 60's and early 70's were aimed at the Vietnam War. The blind man reference to me has always been about soldiers just shooting blindly at where they think the enemy is at. In urban and guerrilla warfare it seems there are a lot of civilian casualties and that's what this song seems to be pointing at, at least to me. One of the most haunting vocal performances Ian Gillan gave was when he was in Black Sabbath on the song Born Again, great performance.

His vocal talent is unbelievable. He's even done a duet with Pavarotti and was in the original Jesus Christ Superstar. His version of Gethsemane is heavenly

This incarnation of Deep Purple is otherworldly and Ritchie Blackmore criminally underrated in America. Deep Purple/Led Zeppelin/Black Sabbath = The Big Three.

great song

Deep Purple has been around since 1967. They are one of the best bands that came out of Britain, or anywhere for that matter.

Vietnam War. That's what it's about. Space Truckin' and Highway Star are great DP songs too.

Richie Blakemore killed it on that guitar solo!!

Growing up with this kind of music is mostly to blame for why I did not like disco. I would put a stack of vinyl on the turntable, sit back, headphones on, eyes and just drift away in the music - no substances required. I always picked up every new Deep Purple album the very same week it dropped. I also would throw some Yes on the turntable. You should react to some of their early stuff to. “Roundabout” “All Good People” As well as many others from that same era. Electric Light Orchestra- AKA E.L.O. Is also epic. #HOG Fam and love these timeless joints.

Child In Time" is a protest song to the United States' war in Vietnam. The lyrics were written by lead singer Ian Gillan.

I'm sure that someone already said this, but just in case, according to the singer, Ian Gillan, the song is about nuclear war.

The days when there were musicians!

Saw them live in Vancouver when I was in my twenties. Loudest band I've ever heard. And one of the best as well.

I would have my left to have been there to experience this classic live! Those vocals and Richie Blackmore killing that guitar!

Ian Gillan IMO is the preeminent voice in R&R history! even better when you have top of the heap band bringing it every song. Lazy and Space Truckin' are incredible tunes as well! all the guys of this era were born during or right after WWII so i think that is where most of their inspiration came from.

By the time The Song Remains the Same was filmed /recorded (1973) he’d lost a ton of range and power as well as clarity in what was left of his higher range. In the early days he was unbelievable. I’d say that Ian Gillian had more control (an unbelievable amount of control actually, over both tone and pitch), but I way prefer Plant’s tone in the higher range-but again, talking about pre-vocal-damage Plant. In those earlier days he could hit unbelievably high notes seemingly in full chest voice, with a really full, bluesy tone. But Ian Gillian’s control rivals that of Freddie Mercury…

Ritchie Blackmore on lead guitar also studied classical music and it shows.

I'm always excited when one of "my" reactors chooses this song. This is graduate level stuff. If exposing yourself to new and different music that's also really, really, REALLY good is an education, then the live version of "Child In Time" is your doctoral thesis. When I'm watching someone about to hear this for the first time, I want to grab them by the ears, look deep into their eyes, and say, "buckle up."

Why would a band from England write a protest song about Vietnam, specifically? Ian Gillan said that he tried to capture in general terms the feel of the Cold War, especially nuclear threat.

No auto tune ( didn’t exist back then ) , no AI gadgets , no pitch correct , no backing tracks , no playback monitor on stage . Just incredibly gifted artists who were masters at their craft . Ian Gillan had a 5 octave vocal range . Notice how he put a finger on his ear to be able to hear the notes he is singing correctly.

I think if Deep Purple had the choice when recording this song, they would have wanted it done this way rather than the record producer's choice for the studio track. This video gives the song much more emotion with every member smashing it on the solos as well as Ian's spectacular vocals.

You are listening to the greatest music in history, we had the pleasure of being young in the 70s and experiencing firsthand music that will never be heard again!!!!!! ENJOY

Yessah that’s a heavy song about war

It's always great to see the young people today seeing the talent of Deep Purple. They are all at the top of their game. It's a war protest song, Vietnam was the era but it's about war in general. It's also funny how some react to the audience because they don't respond to the amazing performance. What you're seeing is stoic 1860's British society. This was 1970, they had never heard anything like this. Fast forward 9 years and Pink Floyd's The Wall is all about fighting that British tradition of harsh corporal punishment in schools and all that comes with it.
