Ian Gillan was one of the very best singers of all-time. "Child in Time" gave me goose bumps when Gillan hit the high notes back in the 70's ...and it still does today. Deep Purple were truly one of the very best Rock bands in history. ......R.I.P. Jon Lord

This is how it’s done kids. Real people playing real instruments in real time. No autotune, no pre-recorded tracks, no heavy processing on the vocal to hide deficiencies.

Yes, gave up on music being churned out in the West, when Cowell and his like, dictated little boy and girl music was what we'd get. He couldn't handle the Alpha males who make up Rock Bands, so Rock music didn't see the light of day on mainstream TV. I looked East and found a guy (Hua Chenyu) brought up on Muse, Radiohead, Linkin Park, who writes everything from Rock/Metal to Rap, Reggae 😂, Pop, SynthPop, Broadway, Traditional Chinese and on and on. Like a mix of Bowie and Freddie Mercury (and equally chameleon like in look). Waiting for the West to rediscover music like this. 😔

Welcome to world 🌎 of Deep Purple no auto tuners no pro tools no auto choris nothing but clean beauty rock master musicians. All 5 aces. Top 3 rock bands in the world of all time. This is 1970 live on TV 📺 they just do this evernight all over the world.

This is real live music played by people who not only can play but could feel the music and produce a performance because they lived the music. Not calculated programmed pap!

You are now officially a rock fan, having experienced this masterpiece, musicians right at the very top ofntheir game. Glad you noticed how good Ian Paice is on drums much underrated very much a drummers drummer, he is so good I bet you never noticed he drops a stick during the performance but recovers so quickly you are hard pushed to notice it, take a look it's around 7:18 to 7:20 ish on the original video.

One of the most technically talented rock bands in history, with Gillan, Blackmore, and Lord all classically trained and virtuosic (Lord even plays a bit of Flight of the Bumblebee in here). I am not a huge hard rock fan (more blues and Southern rock for me), but this is an absolutely stunning song. Gillan also delivers a masterpiece as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar - "Gethsemane" may be the most amazingly emotional and powerful vocal performance Ive ever heard.

I still get a reaction to this all these years later.

"...bow your head, wait for the ricochet..." What a lyric............

Ian Gillans performance of "Gethsemane" 1970 from Jesus Christ Superstar is off the charts good.

I sing at Church and sometimes I cover my ear by pushing the front skin over my ear canal. Most of the Contemporary Praise and Worship are for women and men that can't sing Bass/ Baritone. That's why you don't a lot of men sing during Worship because they can't sing like women.

I like your 'genre' comment. I've noticed many reactors to the music from the past that I grew up with are overly obsessed with genres and have a need to compartmentalise everything they hear. Back then there seemed to be so much varied music coming through that it was just accepted that new talent always brought it's own originality into the equation. If it sounded good, regardless of any past influences or crossovers (jazz, folk, classical etc, etc) that was all that mattered.

I couldn't afford both! Good in a way though because I think it honed my appreciation of the talent that existed. The downside was I'd miss that deeper delve into some artistes work at the time.

One of the best songs of all time. Brilliant analysis

No auto tuners or in-ears, and.. Live. Ian Gillan had such a stunning range. Every one of them were magicians.. Like Queen. First record I ever bought was Deep Purple "Black Knight" second was Black Sabbath's "Paranoid". Music back then was.. EXCITING. This is still in my Top Five all time favourites along with Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" and one or two of Chinese singer Hua Chenyu's songs (can't name as they change every week).

One of the few times you'll see Ritchie playing a Gibson semi-hollow. He became a strictly Fender Strat player.

1970. They are pioneers of heavy metal. One of the best bands ever! And the song is among the top 100 best rock songs ever!

Deep Purple was my introduction to hard rock and it grabbed me, shook me out, and changed my life. Ian Gillan had one of the greatest voices in rock. His control and range were unmatched. "Made in Japan" is one of the great live albums of that era. The song Strange Kind of Woman from that album highlights his control in a brilliant call and response with guitarist Richie Blackmore. While their creativity couldn't match Led Zeppelin's, Deep Purple ran a strong second in my book for several years. It is also worthwhile to check out Gillan's performance on the rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar".

Now Plant Bonham Jones especially Jones was spot on everyone could see he's the quiet one but a master musician. Jones and Bonzo perfect. Sabbath was awesome to Geezer Ward Tony even Ozzy were great and loved seeing them. Not complaints at all. Just not par with Purple mk 2 and even mk 3.

It's not easy to try and fill Gillan vocals but both as team really came close. I was shocked and so were we all. But Burn was huge. 1973 Deep Purple was the biggest band in the world thru gate receipts and record sales. We had Purple mania as kids and even got to see them in the happy years in the 80s. The meadow lands in NJ with guns and roses awesome and Aerosmith not so good at the time still dealing with drugs and trying to be clean. I think these kids today don't realize how good most bands in the 70s were. Almost all of them grand funk 10 years after the sweet all of them hold there own.

Some were trial and error like the Moody Blues who the record executives thought did not have a chance. Wrong just one example of cognitive dissonance on there part. I'm like you went to many concerts loved it. One had a tragic event that bothers be to this day. Kiss Bob Seger Jake Geils band and Thin lizzy. A kid was stabbed to death in the stands. I was front row all Day event. During Kiss destroyer tour I think in Jersey City Roosevelt stadium. But other than that awesome experience people were so cool and none violent for the most part. Getting back to Purple seen them in mark 2 3 4 and the reunion tours. 2 and 3 really were the best ever it was hard at first no Gillan or Glover. But Coverdale and Hugh's pulled it off in combination singing. How many bands have 2 legitimate lead singers back then. We could probably names bands these folks never heard of to bad there all gone but our memories of our youth and openness to new things never dies. I got to see one of my heros in OR of all places. At a casino in Newport. BB king when he hit the first note on a lead an electric volt went thru my body lol. Never felt that from any guitarist in my lifetime. Lol even Ritchie Blackmore. 🤣 My point is I got to see the big 3 of so called metal pioneers. Black Sabbath awesome Led Zeppelin Jimmy Page has a hard time pulling off textures of overdubs live and was struggling live due to drugs also. Deep Purple back then we pretty much agreed live there were untouchable. There better live than on lps. They just were I can't explain it we came away dumbfounded. One of my buddies a hard core Zeppelin fan admitted to us all Deep Purple better and grudgingly admitted Ritchie Blackmore was better live. He stressed only live lol. Who cares really it's all opinions anyway. The point is we are so lucky indeed my brother rock on 🤘 💯

The great Ritchie Blackmore, for all of his weird quirks and unlikeable traits, he is a master guitarist, in the company of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, (strange relationship there) and others. This Band started out in 1966, and really hit their stride in the late 60s, and into the early 70s. A truly great Band. They are British. You are a lot younger than me, so I mention that in case you didn't know. No disrespect intended. Great channel friend

For a real treat from them watch the live from Copenhagen 1972 performance of “Strange Kind Of Woman” There is a “call & response” section between Ian Gillan & Ritchie Blackmore that’s amazing!! You need to see it 💜

That represents the bullets flying when it went into the instrumental

I first heard these guys when Machine Head came out, I was in grade 6. This is one of the best vocal performances in history, and the rest of the band is pretty damn good too.

Le premier disque que j'ai acheté par hasard à l'âge de 13 ans , Deep Purple in Rock , depuis je l'ai ai vu 5 fois en concert , maintenant j'ai 62 ans et j'écoute toujours !!!

Deep Purple was known for competing on stage to out play each other. They were all amazing musicians. Sometimes, when they got a groove playing songs could just go on and on, and the audience was blown!

I am also a man that was blessed to have this and other music like it ad my musical soundscape as a ,first,pretty teen,then on into my teens! Fantastic!!

One of my favorite reactions to this Performance. It really does speak for itself. Many comments are in past tense. Deep Purple was? Ian Gillian was? Ian Paice was? Roger Glover was? Deep Purple is. They put out a new album this year and have been touring the USA. Deep Purple have had many different eras, lots of line up changes, currently referred to as Deep Purple "Mark IX". Ian Paice the Drummer is the only member to be on every recording and tour from "Mark I, to Mark IX". 1968-2022.

I saw this live in 1972 in Detroit , I went to see Black Sabbath once I heard Ian sing I had to see them again in the Ford Theatre and was no longer wanting to hear Sabbath. I also saw Led Zeppelin I liked them but not as much as Deep Purple. I know most people prefer Zeppelin but no one has the octaves that Ian sings, I also know that people prefer Bonham on drums but I prefer Ian Paice he's a left handed drummer and he is still drumming. Needless to say they were and still my favorite group by far.

While the studio recording of "Smoke On the Water" is likely their most well-known song, the live recording of it from _Made in Japan_ (1972) is far, far superior. I'd recommend that to you, as well as their somewhat later track "Woman From Tokyo."
