If you want to be freaked out by a live performance, check out Deep Purple doing "Child in Time" on a Paris TV show - you will see Lord at his best.

If you like Jon Lord, you must hear "Lazy" by Deep Purple

You haven't even scratched the surface of all of the phenomenal music of the 60's and 70's. Pure talent!!

Old Deep Purple....great band....real musicians!

Highway Star, by Deep Purple, is another banger, with a smokin hot organ solo....

Helene here: As they say, the bench was SO DEEP with quality music back then....dozens of outstanding bands. We were very spoiled and didn’t know it, because that’s just the way music was: talented musicians, wonderful songwriters. Soul Train Bro (another great reactor) has described this period as a music “Renaissance” in that the was such a rich community of artists, especially in Britain and L.A. They knew one another, they wrote songs for one another, they played on each other’s albums, they hung out together. So there was allot of cross-fertilization and ideas shared. HUGE bands like Zeppelin, the Eagles, Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Purple, Sabbath, The Doors, the singer/songwriter movement of L.A. (James Taylor, Jackson Browne, CSNY, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt,) the whole Laurel Canyon scene.....It was all going on at the same time. Can you dig it, Chod? And then a little later in the seventies came Peter Frampton, Boston, Foreigner, Heart, Jethro Tull, Rush, Supertramp, Genesis......I mean the list goes on and on. To rise above such a talented “bench”, you had to have superlative musicianship, charisma, a special “hook” or way to stand out above the crowd. You had to be able to deliver live because there weren’t all the tricks back then that there are now. . I think you are just beginning to understand that. So when you read that Zeppelin “strode above them all like a behemoth” in the seventies, you truly understand what a feat that was. I love watching you on this journey because you have the background to truly appreciate and respect the music....you’re not just listening and then going “wow” and that’s it. I’m so done with that. I want reactors who understand the music. Thank you for your channel, Chod. You’re doing a GREAT job with it. And a shout-out to your other subs.....You are getting GREAT suggestions!

I would also add that back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, we as kids and young adults didn't have as many of the today's distractions. We had 3-5 TV channels, no home video gaming, internet, etc. More kids were in band, playing piano, and taking music lessons. Big band artists were still around, and the new rock and roll craze (Elvis, Buddy Holly, Beatles, etc) fueled a ton of kids to start playing an instrument. They had music and more time to play, experiment, and hone their skills in garage and local bands. Excellence fueled more excellence. And the studios allowed groups the release to this experimental new music.

Deep Purple - Burn, top 5 best organ solos ever. With one of the best guitar solos too. Either the album version or live from Graz 1975.

Deep Purple was one of the Rock Super -Groups. Blackmore one of the best guitarists (top 10) & Lord was one of the top keyboardists. The vocalists were top tier too. Check out "Smoke on The Water", "Lazy", "Child in Time" just to name a few. You might not be ready yet... but Rick Wakeman (of Yes) would be on most people's shortlist of GOAT keys.

Very, VERY, nice tribute to Jon Lord. Applause. You are scratching the surface with Deep Purple.

can't do Deep Purple without touching on Smoke on the Water. It's still one of the best known opening riffs in Rock.

Deep Purple 'Child In Time' live is a complete banger! BTW excuse the audience, the band's performance was being taped so, the powers that be told them to behave. The audience followed 'the rules' and acted accordingly.

Oh my Chod, the reason these bands were so great was because they had to be. There were so many talented artists out there, you simply could not compete if you were not up there with their talent. This lead to some great, great music. Thanks for this memory.

More Deep Purple: "Smoke on the Water" for sure. More face-melting organ: "Chest Fever," the Band. (Look, when you backed Bob Dylan you get to just call yourselves 'The Band' if you want.) Some of the most ridiculous key work you will ever hear: Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Start with "Trilogy" or "The Endless Enigma" (all three parts, totaling around 10 minutes) for a good taste of what they can do, and then duck over to "Tarkus" or "Karn Evil 9" for the full epic prog sauce.

First I Love Deep Purple & Hush Is My Favourite! When They Received Their Rock N Roll Induction Jon’s Widow Was Up On Stage With Them!! Thank You!!

Mark I, the first rendition of Deep Purple...had some great tunes that most people haven't heard. Listen to Book of Taliesyn for some of the best of this line up of Deep Purple.

Check out Cream, Yardbirds, Rare Earth is really different. Uriah Heep,James Gang,David Bowie. To name just a few bands/ artist. Yep, every week/ day something great was coming out. Hendrix, the Who. Give my old fart brain a little time, O yeah Alex Harvey Small faces, Faces, Humble Pie. You have only tickled the surface grasshopper.

Enjoyed your reaction 😎👍

Deep Purple was such a classic British band... This is actually my favourite song by them.

Also check out DP's "Space Truckin'", "Highway Star", & "My Woman From Tokyo". Other organ-centric bands you may enjoy from that era are Traffic ("Dear Mr. Fantasy", "Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys") and The Doors ("L.A. Woman", "Riders On The Storm")

This song was over 50 years ago, lots of these artists from our generation are gone too soon.

Next up- “ Lazy” from them - when they got Ian Gillan as lead singer. He was also the original Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. There’s live video of them doing many songs.

Best concert I ever saw was Deep Purple. He was rocking the whole organ back and forth while he was playing! Amazing show. Only the good die young.

You are so right how much of top of the mountain with Rick Wakeman, And Keith Emerson John Lord had so many great tunes with Deep Purple and this was their fist hit back in 67 or ‘68.So many other ones to blow your mind!👍🏻❤️☮️🎹🎼

“Lazy” by Deep Purple....you will not be disappointed. John Lord and Ritchie Blackmore (lead guitar)riff off each other incredibly on this song. Lord is my favorite keyboard player of all time BTW.

Oh this is an early one, used to dance to this at school, so many great songs from this band, Child in Time, live, Smoke on the Water, love them

More Purple. They are masters. Next Highway star 🔥

Fireball, Highway Star, Burn, Child in Time, Black Night, Lazy, just to name a few; hard rock at its best !!!!

I was only about 8 years old when this song came out. But I remember a kid on our block that was about 15 years old back then constantly talking about this group and this song and so then I finally heard it...... Never forgot it again.

Yes we were blessed with the music from the 50's, 60's and 70's. I was fortunate to have worked with Edie Money, Doug and Stu from CCR, Lydia Pense, Elvin Bishop, The Diamonds, among others. All were great people and so down to earth. I have not heard anyone do a reaction to Elvin Bishop. His newest release a few years ago was Ace in the Hole which he sent me several cd's prior to its release. You should really check him out. And yes the B12 has a sound all its own and of all the organs the B12 can't be beat. Keep rock'n dude you haven't even left the station yet.lols I grew up on the 50, 60 and 70's music and still faithfully listen to it all the time. Music today just doesn't come close to good ole rock n roll. Please check out some Elvin Bishop.

Oh my God, I haven't this song in years! And God bless the person who recommended you listen to this - both for my pleasure and especially for yours . When the song begins with that organ I thought, of course, of course THIS is a song with great organ for you, Chod!

JON LORD WAS ONE OF THE BETTER KEY PLAYERS RIP....stay safe in the police state....LAZY NEXT

Hush, what a great song My Favorite Deep Purple. In 68 When I was 14 years old I saw them live in Los Angeles they opened up for cream

@sitbone3

I was there too. Cream got booed after one song and people were yelling for Deep Purple to come back on stage at the performance I was at. Although I thought it was ‘69. But I’m old.

Awesome! Keep listening to Deep Purple. They have many great songs

Deep Purple has a ton of great songs. You will see people mention Smoke on the Water, Child in Time, Highway Star, Perfect Strangers and Lazy, but I think one song that get overlooked is a great slower song called "When a blind man cries".

Glad you enjoyed it. That's a great song for 140 mph in a 1970 Plymouth Duster 340. Yes I did.

We all have our favorite players in this band (usually centers around what instrument we play). As a B-3 player myself, I’m so glad you honed in on Jon Lord. Obviously the whole band contributed, and the rhythm section was particularly important, but leading the charge was Jon Lord playing organ like a rhythm instrument. This song in so many ways was about the organ. First time I heard that solo at age 15, I just about fell on the floor. I thought it was part gospel part blues. I didn’t know what to think. As it turned out, it was just very good rock. I said to myself, how do I make my parents’ piano in the living room sound like that. The answer was I couldn’t, so went my quest to learn as much about the Hammond Organ as I could. Yes it’s sad he died relatively young. It was cancer. I remember the day he died. The CBS Radio Network led with his death at the 12pm Network Broadcast, Pacific time that day. They opened with the first organ chords after the wolf howls. I will never forget how cool I thought that was. Thanks for listening to one of my all time favorite songs, and sharing your thoughts.

Child in time Live

Dude. Seeing your face when the FUNK kicks in with the organ is Priceless.

It is amazing the amount of creative talent that was available in the 60's and 70's and to some degree, the 80's.

One of the baddest jams in the land.

I discovered Deep Purple when Kula Shaker (British Indie band from the 90s) covered this song. Kula were cool, but I became a life fan of Deep Purple.

I saw Deep Purple when they were the opening act for Cream back in ‘69 in L.A. They blew the roof off the Forum in Los Angeles. Everyone was going crazy in the audience. I still have my tickets too.

"Child In Time" (Live) will absolutely blow your mind. The aptly named Jon Lord will stun you with his keyboarding prowess, and Ian Gillan displays his amazing vocal range and skill.

Of all of the older rock groups or any ,,,,Deep Purple probably has the most classic organ sound to be incorporated in so many of their songs and this is a Joe South song done first by Billy Joe Royal and I love that one also and Joe's version. ,buuuut DP refined the hell out of it ..DP pulled the rug out from Joe to own this and I am sure he appreciated it.....

I don't know if you listened to House of the Rising Sun by the Animals - their organist Alan Price was also amazing.

I urge you to listen to “Highway Star“ off of the album titled “Made in Japan“. Live album. That and “lazy“ off the same album. “Child in Time” is often the first song people react to. Great live video of that, studio version also excellent. “Smoke on the water” is their most famous song. You definitely know the guitar riff but maybe haven’t heard the whole song. For that I recommend the version off of “Made in Japan“ just to get a bit more energy.

At some point I recommend the *studio* version of “Burn” by Deep Purple- I think it’s my favorite keyboard solo of all time, Plus a great guitar solo. It is the song that inspired me to buy my very first album. Still an all-time favorite. Remember to do the studio version. Sound quality so much better.

Shield by Deep Purples second album. Whole album Rocks.

Yep! He took you to church! The funk influence is unmistakable ...But the gospel roots are less recognized and yet just as important! The organ kept this song moving!

The “triumvirate” of hard rock bands that are usually credited with leading into metal are Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. I was never into DP as much as Zeppelin, mainly because I didn’t like organ in my hard rock. But obviously a whole hell of a allot of people DID.....including you, I think. So you will love this I bet. But of all their songs, this is my fave.......such a wonderful, driving beat.

Organist JOHN LORD... RIP... DEEP PURPLE "HUSH"... THIS GROUP WAS ROCKIN BABY...

You have to listen to Frankenstein by the Edgar Winter Group. Do the one where you can see them playing the instruments, you won't be disappointed.

Now you understand why the music became our hearts and souls and still is.

Wilburn, I don't know one church goer that doesn't love this song just for the Harmon Organ, great job and keep going.

Absolutely have to check out Lazy next. Epic tune. My favorite song from Deep Purple.

Lord was the best of the best. the musical relationship between he and blackmore was speical/magical. its 1 of the reasons purple was/is legendary. i emcourgae you to listen to everything you can find from Purple with Ritchie Blackmore.

You should react to Deep Purple's Speed King (Perihelion). That live version with Steve Morse on guitar will blow your mind and you will get to see another jaw dropping performance by not only Jon Lord, but by the entire band. The improvisations, the drum solo etc.

Another deep purple song...one of the greatest hard rock songs ever recorded...not well known...Hard Road..also known as "Wring that neck"!!

Especially the 60s, for organ players. Not maybe. That's when the organ really became dominate, along with electric guitar. That cool Vox Continental sound.

You are right so many great bands from that era. I was lucky to have been young back then so was able to see many of these bands live. Another great band from that era that you should listen to is Yes. Start off with Roundabout from the album Fragile.

You’re right about Jon Lord Sir. Nice words. Thanks

I actually heard this on AM radio back in the day. First exposure of DP. Love this song.

I just noticed that the baseline is very similar to the Grand Funk Railroad song, Inside Looking Out. Nice jam.

Two words: "Groovy & Nasty" 🎹😄🤘

This song was written by Joe South. Who sang Walk a mile in my Shoes and Games People Play. Two you would appreciate!

Awesome song, great pick for a reaction video. I love playing this one on my bass. Serious groove.

You have now hit all three of the "unholy trinity " Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. The precursors of Heavy metal. Try anything from the Machine Head album. Great reaction. Peace ✌

Listen to their version of 'Kentucky Woman'

Sir, you are worthy of my Deep Purple story... My Deep Purple story It was the summer of 1989 and I was 13. My friends were all into the big 80s pop, hair metal, etc., so I was into that scene, too. I didn't know I had a choice. I didn't know what else existed, to be honest. One day, my ex-stepfather (who was only very briefly in my life) was doing something in the garage, jamming to some music. Bored, I wandered in and asked what band he was listening to. He was incredulous that I was unfamiliar with the song that was playing. So, he sat me down on the concrete garage floor (felt cool on a hot day), put gigantic headphones over my ears and fired up his 8-track player. From the opening second of Deep Purple's _Burn,_ I was hooked. Out poured the most powerful, transformative sounds I'd ever heard. The experience literally transfixed me. I had never heard anything like it, and it was magical. I ended up listening to the entire 8-track in one session, without ever getting up from that concrete floor. Through every lineup and stylistic change, I've been happily hooked on Deep Purple ever since.

I am glad you shared that story with me!! Now you guys have brought me here and their sound is crazy!! Only one song in so far but I enjoyed every minute

We were very spoiled with great music in the 70s.

Lord played the organ like a bongo drum. The song was written by Joe South.

John Lord composed some truly great Classical Music works. If you like classical music you should check out his Sarabande album for some awesome orchestral music. He also performed with the group Whitesnake.

Now listen to the studio version of 'Child in Time' from the album 'Deep Purple in Rock.'

Brother thank you. Jon Lord would throw that shit around. I was lucky to have seen them as many times as I did.

Such a great song. Always gotta turn it up.

Chod, you're into Daryl's House and you love organ....next logical step is Booker T Green Onions Live at Daryl's. Trust me!

Deep Purple - LAZY is the tune to hear

Looks like u enjoyed Hush, now for Smoke on the Water.

Jon Lord was considered one of the greatest keyboard players.

You’re Going to be talking a whole lot after this song and there’s plenty more Deep Purple to blow your mind

Deep Purple one leg of the Unholy Trinity...Zep and Sabbath being the other two

Love the hell out of this song.

La musique des annnee 70. Ct de la bombe....de l'originalité, de la création geniiale . y plus de groupe de cette trempe de nos jours...enfin c mon avis...

Some other good organ is Evil Woman by Spooky Tooth, the long version of Light My Fire (it's literally hypnotic) and When the Music's Over, both by the Doors.

That great wolf helped kick off DP's career, and Blackmore's brief solos sound pretty lupine too. Lord's solo still sounds boiler-room hot.

In answer to your question, everything was just great. It was all of them trying for art, instead of money, because they could make a living from it if they worked, with real instruments, instead of computers and marketers. It was competition to do better than the others. Radio played everything that was worth anything, and even a lot that was not worth much, because there was total musical freedom to explore and excel, and formats were loose, because there were always listeners and deejays trying to see what was what, beyond the corporate control boxes.

the greatest cover in rock history

Don’t even think about not playin “Woman from Tok-a-yo! Wicked good! You will die with regret if you don’t hear this song. Saw them and John Lord played that organ and bumped it and tipped and pushed it around the stage. He abused that great instrument and it sounded soo F”in good! RIP John Lord. Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. Listen to Woman from Tok-A-Yo. Like your life depends on it. You can thank me later.😎

Part of the reason, that there was so much great music, is because the world was messed up then, too; and yet, they could express it better than today; because, there was not as much corp censorship as now.

"Child In Time" by them is one of the best songs ever... Live even more impressive. If you find this at least good than "Child in Time" is a must listen. Edit: After listen to "Child in Time" you will be more sad that John Lord died... he was the best in my opinion, what a genius.

Lazy and Space Truckin. .brilliant

First, that was a great reaction. You made me laugh numerous times. Love how you identified Mr. Lord. And it’s great that you started with this song because chronologically it was the earliest hit so you will simply move forward in time with them if you do more reactions. One thing I can tell you is that almost for sure you will hear a different singer with them next time. You could hear more from this singer but as far as their more well-known, famous songs almost for sure you will get a different singer. Just a little warning. And then there’s actually different singers with them after the most likely next singer you will hear. All excellent, in my opinion. They are actually still together so they are a band who has been together over 50 years.

Funny that all of these years later, I'm realizing some of the best funk of the 70s was coming from rock bands. Get the funk up!

Love this song, love he drums

Great classic , thanks for reacting. 😁
