I don't know who Max Webster is, though I do know that STATUS QUO are the best and greatest Rock Band in history. Peter Frampton is a soft penis. Yes are directionless Prog rubbish. If you are going to include The Guess Who then the natural thought process would be to include BTO. Randy Bachman was in both Bands. The Strawbs were a Right-Wing Conservative anti-Union group. There are some cool Bands on your list though. Bad Co. are way good.

Pink Floyd 11 and Almond Brothers 15 ? I'm hoping this is random. All and honestly all great bands. Saw most of em in the 70s or 80s. Live ? Gotta give it to Pink Floyd #1. Jam band ? Almond Brothers can take a 3 minute song and turn it into a 30 minute masterpiece. Just my opinion. This guy is digging a bunch of deep holes if he's unfamiliar with 70s music. I'd do it again. Peace ✌️

I was nine years old 1972 and heard Deep Purple for the first time and was sold for the rest of my life,

This song was responsible for untold speeding tickets.

Deep Purple were amazing live and their gigs were always about the music .The live double album Made In Japan is probably the best live album ever made .

Loving watch your reactions to the mighty Deep Purple, I'm 68 and going to see them in november and this song stillopens the show

They literally wrote this song on a tour bus when a reporter who was accompanying the band asked about their songwriting process. They wrote it on the bus and performed it that night!

I had just got my driver's license and it took all my will not to get a speeding ticket when this song was on the radio back in the day.

That's why my generation says we had the best music and it was so common we didn't appreciate how good it was

From Australia , the great legendary DEEP PURPLE , greatest British Rock band of the late 60s early 70s era , sorry Led Zeppelin people love them aswell , Peace from down under

These songs are over 50 years old and still stands the test of time

I´m 65 years old but................. This was the 70s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ritchie Blackmore is a legendary performer who has influenced 2 generations of rock bands one way or another,,,

I'm 75 now, but back in the day, driving my firebird 440 with red metal flake finish and white convertible top, this track on the tape deck, with power amp and huge speakers, always got me to the end of the line, petal to the metal.

Welcome to the awesome music of deep purple

Live in Japan is often considered the best live album of all time.

Classic rock song s from 70s and 80s with their solos are pretty much musical orgasms.

Deep Purple - Lazy (Live, 1972)

Just as you appreciated this great track, I appreciated your eloquent and meaningful comments.Thank you. In the 70's the performers were musicians. Today the performers are... performers.

Lot of great guitarists during this era, but Blackmore was just different...

Totally agree, one of the greatest, I haven’t listened to this song for a couple of years, I forget how awesome this is

Deep Purple Made in Japan the best album ever !!!

You reacted very respectfully, as I'm one of those 'old guys' who grew up listening to this band and still listen to them to this day! Glad you enjoyed them as the music they made was outstanding.

This song was definitely played on the radio back in the day. Not to the same level as "Smoke on the Water," of course, but it was a radio staple. Popular on jukeboxes too. Absolute banger! 🤘🤟

Ritchie's guitar solo on Child in Time live from Made in Japan is brilliant and well worth a listen....

*DEEP PURPLE fun fact:* ---------------- How's this for an interesting statistic... Deep Purple has put out at least one album in each of the last seven (7!!) decades that charted at #20 or higher, somewhere in the world. The first to reach a Top 20 spot was released in 1968, and the most recent was released in 2020. Each of those points is remarkable alone, but combined it's absolutely awe-inspiring!

In fact, they released at least 2 albums per decade, which at least got into the top 10 in the charts of different countries (except for the first three albums), and 11 albums took the first place. in the 60s - 3, in the 70s - 7, in the 80s - 2, in the 90s - 4, in the 2000s - 2, 2010s - 2, 2020s - 2 and they are preparing more one album that I'm looking forward to. ☺

Deep Purple are proto-metal, the band that other early metal musicians saw live and thought "THAT, is the music I want to make, I want to do THIS!"

Guarantee speeding ticket if driving and this came on the radio back in my day ,

I did grow up with this and I would never trade it in for anything.

Careful driving to this one. Tickets, tickets and more tickets!

Deep Purple was so much more than smoke on the water , wait till you hear Fireball !! Studio version is fine !! Who else , , Johnny and Edgar Winter , , Tobacco Road , live !

When you say nothing beats a great 70's rock guitar solo, you're not wrong!

you can see the dislike blackmore had for Gillan just by the looks he was giving him. it's a pity because this was and is the greatest purple lineup.

I had this blasting in my Cheverly SS back in the 70s!! Good 'ol rock! Thanks!

Eruption begun today like twenty minutes drive away from my home.Everybody are going to see it but i prefer staying home and listen to Deep Purple .I´m 66 years old and they have been by my side since i was 10 or 12 years old.They are pure Gold.

Deep Purple was one of those bands that sounded better live than in the studio. They were so musically gifted and their jam sessions on stage where pure chaos. I was so lucky to have grown up in the 70's.

I saw Deep Purple live into the 80s at Birmingham NEC best concert I ever went to.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Nothing beats a 70's rock guitar solo. And the best of them all were by Ritchie Blackmore! Greatest guitarist to have ever walked the earth.

As a 59 year old Welshman can I just say welcome to European Rock . From here to Sabaton, Epica, Nightwish, Within Temptation. I have lived this for nearly all my life. Welcome my friend.😊

In May of 2005, three retired guys sold out Royal Albert Hall for four shows. People in the crowd weren't alive when they were popular. Cream. Crossroads.

From the tome when keyboards were sounding heavy and insane….And Ritchie Blackmore, the guitar god…

This is a classic example of "It was better to be 20 in the 70's than 70 in the 20's". Just for the quality and quantity of great music.

What is different is that this was groundbreaking stuff in the 70's, they along with Sabbath and Zep were creating a new genre, louder and faster than anything that had gone before. It was new and had a level of excitement about it because of that. That excitement cannot be repeated, but there is lots of fantastic music around today. You just need to keep an open mind and listen out for it.

Rainbow in the seventies for me . Then purple in the eighties and nineties

Lazy is another song that is high energy. Child In Time showcases Ian Gillen five octave range. In 73 there was a band called Hocus Pocus . They were performing Focus on The Midnight Special television show but there wasn't enough time for them to perform their song or so one would have thought. The song in normal time is a trip. But to watch them do the song in double time it's hilarious. They were a Dutch rock band. I've been a Rancher for seven decades. I am as much old country music as anything. Country had a lot of great guitar players like Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, Les Paul, Glen Campbell,....... 🤠🏞️🐂

This is the greatest live version of any song ever recorded. The intro sets it up, then it just kicks ass from beginning to end, and only gets more intense as it goes on. It's worth listening to the "Machine Head" studio version (which is great BTW), just to appreciate how elevated and amazing this version is.

Hey bro!! Hahaha, under a rock!! Hahaha. This is the best song to drive in a road with a nice compasión. Good reaction. Thanks. Greettings from Argentina

Music is recorded, one , to spread the word for money ,two as an archive for you. You are getting the same enjoyment as we got listening for the first time.

Thank you for your comments, I am 64 and was born with this kind of music, with respect for music of any time I have the impression that nowadays it is not so much about creativity, experimentation pure skills and just being on top of your art but rather production, marketing, fashion, etc.. maybe wrong but this is why I personally listen much less to modern and more to classic rock/pop music

You are wrong: this kind of music is not dead. You just don't hear it on the radio but it's out there if you want it!

Thumbs up to You, KZread and contributors keeping memories alive...I'm on board. I'm also discovering new music. Thank you!

They used to play this a lot more on the radio in the NY, CT area classic rock stations but not much recently. It's always nice seeing someone new appreciating the classics so many of us grew up on.

The speeding ticket tune love it 🇬🇧

Did you know frontman Ian Gillan was Jesus from the original album Jesus Christ Superstar ? Look at him ! Listen to him! Andrew Lloyd Webber saw him on TV singing Child In Time and screamed, “ That’s my Jesus!” There’s video of him singing Gethsemane.

A cold beer between the legs, a fatty between the fingers, left hand on the wheel and Highway Star on the 8track headed to the cottage.

Best speeding music ever. Back in '75 I'd put this in my 8 track and do naughty things to the speed limit on the 417 just after it opened. No traffic, no cops, just virgin asphalt and Deep Purple blasting through the speakers.

Jon Lord - 'There you go, the best solo ever in a live song.' Ritchie Blackmore - 'Hold my beer.' Ian Gillan - 'Does anybody know all the words to this song?'

Another classic for you Pink Floyd comfortable numb live in pulse concert 1994. The best guitar solo of all time❤❤❤

Time machine -- exactly. Hearing this takes me back in time. I used to play this back when I had a '70 'Cuda -- "Go Mango" orange, black vinyl top, 383 with a "Slap Stick." Kids aren't allowed to even look at pictures of that car today without wearing a helmet. ••• Headphones now are amazing, but not the same as big honking speakers that vibrate your whole body. You've heard of "muscle memory." Well, my generation has that, only for music. You should make a list. Get your grandpa's tower speakers and amp out of his attic. Then go someplace where they fire elephant gun rounds at atlas stones and crank it up 'til your bones vibrate. Wear earplugs, and pull them out to adjust. Wouldn't want you listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn's first note for 35 years like me -- MCIT (mild concert induced tinnitus).

Listen to “In Rock”, “Fireball”, “Machine Head”, “Who Do We Think We Are” and then all of “Made in Japan” and “In Concert” ( I think it’s the 1971 Denmark show) and you will see where all the hard rock and metal you know came from 🤙🏻

I know what you mean about freebird, mine is by the same band, but sweet home Alabama, to cut a long story short, I was working on a Friday Saturday in London and having to stay overnight, so as you do we went out to the pub, as we were walking along the street, we heard Alabama coming out so we said this is the place as it’s playing our music, low and behold it was my cousin on the drums who I had not seen for 10yrs. The power of music.

The audio is from Made In Japan, the video is from Copenhagen. Ritchie didn't play the famous solo in Copenhagen for some reason. And regarding Made In Japan, it's live in it's true word. No overdubs och fixing with anything. And that goes for almost every live recording of Deep Purple, exect for some of the Nobody's Perfect live album.

Long live DEEP PURPLE 😊

Deep Purple lead singer, Ian Gillan is a legend! When a blind man cries, child in time, Gethsemane (from Jesus Christ Superstar).

Do you sleep, sir? Your face is all up in my feed... lol Can't go wrong w Deep Purple! Glad to see younger folks intetested in the classics!

You have to keep calm and listen to more Deep Purple songs. Thanks for the pleasure of your reaction.

the song Lazy from the same album is insane!

Hi Daniel, I first heard this song about 6 months ago on the radio had no idea who it was ... bit before my time! until I asked my partner, lol,he knew straight away it was deep purple. Been loving listening to it ever since. Glad you choose this one. Hugs from UK 😁

Hi Daniel from the UK. Just discovered your channel. Having followed and commented on 'Embrace The Suck' for years, didn't realise you had your own. I'm here because you popped up in my feed for 'Highway Star' reaction videos - one of my all-time fave songs. Pleased to see you appreciatibg Deep Purple.

So true my friend memory lane thank you so much. Greetings from 🇮🇹❤️🇪🇺

This song was born on a tour bus going to Portsmouth in 1971 when a reporter asked the band how they wrote songs. To demonstrate, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed an acoustic guitar and began playing a riff consisting of a single "G" repeated over and over, while vocalist Ian Gillan improvised lyrics over the top. They performed it that night

Listen to those fills from Paice. Amazing.

LÁ DISCOGRAFIA DE PURPLE DE IN ROCK PARA ADELANTE ES DE OTRO PLANETA !!!

Your spot on about music and the Internet. Music apps have broadened my horizon so much. Im a British 70's rock fanatic but i love your southern/bluegrass artists and a few years ago i was so lucky to discover doc Watson and the lesser known but phenomenal Ola belle reed. Simply amazing. (Try "my epitaph" by ola belle Reed. Its not rock but as a true music lover i think you will appreciate it) Loving your reactions (just subscribed).

OK, but just look at this side of This Rock... Nice job! Keep it up. Keep rolling to understanding. It may take some time, but it always comes! Thanks for highlighting my misspent youth - This is My World! rl 🤘👹🤘

OMG I so feel you! I never thought it would go away. Keep exploring, this is what i grew up with. I just thought it was regular. Rock out Brothah There is sooooo much music from the 60's and 70's that will blow your mind. It's out of body. peace to you

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich was on his first rock concert on this concert i Denmark, when he was 11. It changedf his life forever and gave so much to Metallica, who made a little album of their inspirators, and there are several Deep Purple numbers on it-

Ah, the song that launched a thousand speeding tickets! 😂

Smoke on the water was an album ladder because they were one song short of the requisite number of tracks and they hadn’t got anything to hand. So wrote about their experiences of that trip in Switzerland. From desperate padding to legendary rock anthem

14:59 to 16:11 Very well said and true from a 68 year old who was there for it at the beginning. And an old still wanna be drummer who played some of these tunes on stage. I miss that most of all. We had no auto tuners, it was all real and raw. And FUN we would play for free set up outside of some ones house on the sidewalk. All we needed was electricity which the house gave us. We won trophy's at battle of the bands. We just loved to play. And yes we felt the music it got into our soul and took us to a different state of mind. End memory lane. Thank You again for taking me there.

No need to feel bad man, there is just so much music in the world now. When this was released there was less than 20 years of rock output to be aware of, now there is almost 70. plus the digital age has made it much easier for more bands to get exposure and therefore add an even greater amount to the pool every year. Health warning for playing Highway star in the car though - it has a magic effect increasing gravity under your right foot.

I don’t think they will ever be a better period for rock music than the seventies and eighties. I was 11 when I heard these songs and I got hooked for life and turned out to be a metal fan later on.

Your comment on Lynyrd Skynyrd, Freebird ❤ it. One of this old Australians favourites!

I was fortunate to go up in this era....im glad these famous bands are returning to the scene...we used to have to search the record stores for this great stuff way back..

Fireball from this show or 70 in Paris. Lazy would be a good one too, from this album. Of the 3 big bands from this time they were under rated and didn't get the airplay. Peace

Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore always hated being filmed, just ask the cameraman at the California Jam in 74, a real shame for us but we still get to hear him let loose like here and recognise the genius he will always be!

The Year:1973 The Venue: The Royal Albert Hall: West London, with 5,000 capacity crowd The Group: Deep Purple The cost...............................25 PENCE or 34 CENTS.....

I always look forward to your Classic Rock nights! Such a treat to go down memory lane and seeing you appreciate such brilliant music!😄

Thanks for doing Deep Purple I saw them a few times . Always a fun concert.

I am so glad you've got a place in your heart for old school rock. These guys laid the foundations of modern rock. Lars Ulrich of Metallica raves about them and has done since he was a child. It's perfect in its imperfection. No two nights were ever the same with this band. Solos, length of songs, tempo......it all depended on the day. They were very much in favour of ebb and flow, when the song gets exiting the music speeds up a little bit which adds even more excitement. Keep the music coming, I'm loving your reactions

Love this track so much its on my gym playlist 🤘🏼🏃‍♀️

it's what you listen too when you want a speeding ticket!

Another must hear to add to your list is the Rock God himself 🤘🤘Ronnie James Dio🤘🤘.

I grew up with these guys along with Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull and others. And they were my "favourites" but not any one of them was my out right favourite. Fast forward 40-50 years and I have been blind sided by a recent band that I would never have thought would occupy my top spot. A band that does admit to being influenced by Deep Purple. I recommend you check out LOVEBITES.

Would love to see a keyboardist today sound like this, Jon Lord was the G.O.A.T on keys. The 70's and 80's were the times for Guitar Heroes and you're right it is a dead art, most young guitarist unless they were influenced by these kind of bands just don't know how to solo. That's why todays modern Rock or Metal isn't that great at least IMO.
