They were all young at this performance but already great musicians for the time. Ian Gillan on vocals along with Ritchie Blackmore on guitars and Roger Glover on bass was 25 at the time. Ian Paice on drums was 22 years old. And the "old" guy was the magical (R.I.P) John Lord on hammond organ who was 29 at the time.

Ian Gillan (vocals) of Deep Purple: "... it’s the influences that each individual member brought into the original band that gave Deep Purple its variety. You know, we cover everything from big band, to swing music, to rock music, and there’s a lot of humor in our music along with light-hearted touches. There’s a lot of texture and dynamics, which are essential to our music. That’s important, and it’s why we get so much joy from what we’re playing. When you’ve got a diet with as much variety as that, you don’t get fed up with it it. There’s always something unique to keep you interested."

The best is the lady on the right enjoy the music. The best !

Adult audiences were expected to behave in those day, especially if the performance was being recorded or filmed. Making noise and being loud was seen as disrespectful to both the performers and other audience members. Think of classical music, jazz and night club singer performances, silence was key. Teenagers were different, like those seeing acts like Elvis or The Beatles. You can check out many performances from the era where the audience is silent. This of course changed with the emergence and evolution of Rock & Roll.

Ritchie Blackmore did something to his guitar that was amazing. He would take a scalpel and make cuts to the fingerboard of his guitar. It was called scalloping

Transported back to her youth

The "piano" was actually a Hammond organ and needed a master like Jon Lord to play it. Not only did he have two sets of keys to contend with, but also the levers to push and pull above those. Can you imagine the proficiency you need for that?

Best scream ever in rock-'n'-roll!!! Picture perfect sound of a man losing his sanity.

Ha ha, i just noticed, i actually heard it and had to rewind but Ian dropped his drumstick at 12:20 i dont remember seing it before and i have seen this live video a few times before. Its a fantastic live performance overall and things like this only add to the authenticity of a live recording.

I saw them live in the 80s and I reacted the same way they did. It's a shame that John Lord has already died. He was the best at the Hammond organ. Many greetings from Germany !!

Donna, I loved your happiness. You were so into this.

As a vocalist who is now 66 years old and has been singing blues and rock for as long as I can remember, Ian Gillan still rates as one of the very best vocalists ever in the rock genre.

Correct! Here's the full version: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gJZhy7GYgbbQpsY.html

Since certain viewers are seemingly having trouble with the spelling of certain member's names, these are the correct spellings. Ian Gillan (not Gillian) - vocals. Ritchie Blackmore (not Richie) - guitar. Jon Lord (not John) - organ (1941-2012 - oh! The unrivaled master of his craft). So far, I didn't read anybody misspelling Roger Glover (bass) or Ian Paice (drums), but for clarity: there they are also.

57 years later they still making music! the things of rock is unbelivable! Stones are 62 years old band and still continue!

Studio audiences back then were asked to be quiet during performances because electronic filters etc back then did not have sufficient capability to adequately separate the audience noise from the music and would have marred the recording.

The audience were so still because they had never heard anything like this before.

Congratulations, Ladies. You have been watching the birth of metal music. Deep Purple is considered as the first metal band. This is mid 1960s. If I'm correct, it's a protest song against the Vietnam War. This is music history. And in my opinion, the way you are moving through the years and the genres, is great 👍 👌 What a lovely family you are ❤ Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🤘

Back in the day the audience was told to behave which meant no screaming or jumping around.

This performance is totally live no auto tune like today

FYI: On the original sound track of Jesus Christ Super Star, Ian was Jesus

Just look at the BBC audience not allowed to move, not allowed to show any emotion bloody epic song, please please please react to Deep Purple Lazy from the made in Japan Live album BTW at 12:22 Ian Paice drops a drum stick and nobody notices !!

My son took me to see Deep Purple in concert for my 62nd birthday in 2017. I had missed them in 1975 because their stage collapsed while setting up and they cancelled. I almost think my son, who was 32 at the time, enjoyed it as much as I did! Alice Cooper and Edgar on the same bill. Great show! Oh, and try driving to "Highway Star" without getting a speeding ticket!

We've produced some of the best guitarists of all time, Richie Blackmore, Jimmy Paige, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and of course, David Gilmore.

A real proper true rock band ,, Brilliant .

Love it girls !! I could tell Donna was enjoying it from Ian's first two notes everytime he was uttering after each scream, Then in the end she was "white-knuckling" !!

Back in the day, video recording was very expensive. So the BBC didn't have the money to do second takes - they asked the audience not to make any noise. Or it was them repressed Brits. It is also amazing, all in one take, no autotune all analogue no digital whatsoever.

I love the time in history that I came up in. Because of my mom and my dad's youngest siblings, I was a very young kid to absolutely fall in love with all these bands. This Led zeppelin, Black Sabath, and so on and so on, etc. Experimental and so many different directions. The best musicians ever to create music.❤

This is the Mark II (Two not Eleven) version of Deep Purple, in my opinion the best version, and the version I have seen three times live. But to me the most amazing part of this video is... the reaction of the audience. Crickets. Ian Gillan-Vocals, Ritchie Blackmore-Guitar, Roger Glover-Bass, Jon Lord-Organ and Ian Paice-Drums. For another take on Ian Gillan, check out his performance as the voice of Jesus in the original recording of "Jesus Christ Superstar" by Andrew Lloyd Weber. This is an artistic recommendation, not a religious one.

Thank you so much for sharing this vid. Sadly Jon Lord the keybord player passed away just a few years ago. In that day the audiance were asked to behave.

The mam knows 👍👍👍

I saw them back in the day and they were just as great as what you just heard, true musical legends who influenced all heavy music that came after. Another great live gig is Deep Purple live at the California Jam 1974. Do Burn, signature song from their new album with David Coverdale on vocals and Glenn Hughes on bass/vocals. Phenomenal, all day concert, Black Sabbath, ELP and the Eagles were there, too. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

They are touring this year. They have just made another studio album. xx

I'm not really much of a Deep Purple fan, but this particular song is quite possibly in my all time top three hard rock songs. Just awesome.

My favorite is the pianist hair too...👍

Saw them Live at the Seattle Center Coliseum with ELO in the early 70's, they were known as the loudest band in the world, what a concert, just Epic!!

I'd bet if Deep Purple were given the choice when recording this song, this is how it would they would have wanted it done. So much emotion from every member on stage just made it that much better than the studio track.
