Not a bit of it. This was recorded in a regional TV studio in the UK. Because so much TV had been live, the technicians all knew how to deal with live bands. This was a strand of programmes with a big variety of music, and the kids had no idea who would be on, the tickets were free, that was enough. My guess is, it is down to the guys in the VTR department that this recording survived, probably hidden under the floor for a while. Most of these recordings would have been for delayed transmission, and the tapes would normally have been wiped for re-use.

Deep Purple is considered one of the 3 godfather's of metal. They influenced SO MANY bands... even to this day. They truly are extremely talented... the entire band! And they have been one of my favorite bands since I first heard them in the mid 80's! Some other Deep Purple songs to consider reacting to the next time you feel like reacting to them; - Smoke on the Water - Highway Star - Perfect Strangers - Woman from Tokyo There are, of course, many other fine choices. I just tried to narrow it down a lot!

The quality of every member of the band is outstanding

Yet ANOTHER fantastic British band.

True masters at work.

You’re facial expressions while hearing the track were so complex, nuanced and beautifully telling, leaving practically no need for words afterwards

This is simply an eargasm...right? and Paice is incredible here...if you can listen closely to his groove, use of dynamics and ghost notes

Each member is a master of their crafts. Deep Purple is a great rabbit hole to follow, it leads to multiple eras of the band plus lead to other bands like Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Whitesnake. So many good songs to check out. I always recommend the studio version of "When a Blind Man Cries", such a great feel from the guitarist (Ritchie Blackmore) where his guitar weeps and complements the soulful singing of Ian Gillan.

The TV show has been taken in1970 I think at BBC Studio and the available equipment for the audio record differs to today's possibilities. So the audience was told to be quiet during the take of the show to avoid disturbing foreign noise to ensure fully music pleasure for the TV viewer. The audio track was recorded live during performance.

DP are part of the Unholy trilogy of metal (pioneers). along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. By the time of this video, they had been around for a few years. They have had various lineups for the band. This one is what we call Mk. ll. Vocalist Ian Gillan, Roger Glover (bass), Ian Paice (drums), Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), and the late...great Jon Lord on the Hammond Organ. This is a deep rabbit hole with many killer songs to their credit! Oh...yes. This was I believe pre-recorded for a television audience. It was a TV studio, so the audience was instructed to be quiet and behave!

Oh Aileen, you’ve hit a gem here. This is without doubt one of the best live rock performances recorded so far in history. This was a band of exceptional musicians who were all at the very top of their game, performing a song that could have been written by the gods. The interplay between organ and guitar during the instrumental section is simply sublime, and then you have Ian Gillian’s voice, which ranges from a quiet whisper to a weapon of mass destruction. The combined effect is like a force of nature that the rest of us mere mortals can only listen to in wonder. Great choice!

Welcome to the DP rabbit hole. The reason for the demure audience is "proper behaviour" was required for studio audience participation. It was a different world 50 plus years ago. And believe it or not, Deep Purple has been actively producing music very recently. Their band has gone through several membership changes over the years and sadly the loss of the keyboardist, Jon Lord. You now have your work cut out for you, Aileen. Enjoy the journey.

Imagine sitting there, and not having heard such a thing before, as you yourself are experiencing the same thing, but at a different moment and perspective. They may have been there in stunned silence. It is stunning after all, isn't it. Thank you!

1970. DP were already stars, Black Sabbath was just about to release their first album. DP were a huge influence on the hard rock and metal of the 70s. TV studio audiences back in the day were usually instructed to sit still, be quiet, and hold their applause until the end.

Great reaction. Actually, heavy metal started with Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath (mainly this one), these Sacred Bands, in the late 60s, early 70s. All with impressive members, with a stellar level of excellence in all aspects.

One of my favorite songs of all time

Sometimes we get so caught up in the song, we miss the lyrics. Definitely check them out. Great reaction!

Deep Purple are musically the cream of the crop. Best musicians and vocalist one of the best in rock ever. Right on top on a par with Zeppelin.

They are being calm because they're asked. This is a promotion uptake and not a concert per se.

The concert was part of a series on German television, where popular musicians and lesser-known musicians had the opportunity to present their music live and with excellent recording conditions....... to a wider audience. The audience here is more of an accessory and probably consisted less of fans of the band and their music, than of people from the immediate environment of employees of the broadcaster. The TV recording is from 1970 and the LP Deep Purple in Rock was released in 1970. With Deep Purple in Rock, a whole new chapter in music history was opened, which presented the hard rock of the late 60s even more uncompromisingly and made it more popular. For people who were not part of the scene, the music was not only new but also took some getting used to.

Imagine that u were a music fan in the late 60's, listening to The Beatles, The Doors, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, and Cream... all those beat rock combos and psychedelic music... And then 1970 comes around and rock music takes a 90 degree detour, going straight up into high vocals, heavy drums, riffing guitars and a powerful delivery... It caught the public completely unaware that music could have this attitude and volume that had never been experienced. Yes, there were explosive bands like The Who, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Vanilla Fudge and Mountain... but when Led Zeppelin debuted in 1969, there was a massive reaction as young fans gravitated by millions to this new 'heavy rock' sound... Then came Black Sabbath, that went darker and heavier than any rock band had dared to go in 1970. Now, Deep Purple was originally formed as a pop rock band around 1968 by experienced musicians and built a brief career in N. America w/ hit cover songs like 'Hush'... 'Lalena'... 'Kentucky woman'... But in 1969, the band heard the music of Led Zeppelin and decided to make a change... original members Rod Evans (vocals) and Nick Simper (bass) were sacked... Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) of Deep Purple decided to enlist 2 members from a hippie band called Episode 6, one of whom was his roommate at the time... Ian Gillan (vocals)...and Roger Glover (bass), joining Blackmore, Jon Lord (organ/ keyboards) and Ian Paice (drums)... They broke new ground in 1969 by recording a 'Concerto' album w/ a classical symphony orchestra... but Blackmore wanted to pursue Zeppelin's brand of 'heavy rock'... In 1970, Deep Purple released the single 'Black night' and followed w/ a full album 'In rock'... and their popularity in Europe and the UK skyrocketed... Unlike Zeppelin and Sabbath, Deep Purple was fast, furious and unpredictable live... and that was evident w/ this early TV appearance in 1970, when people had never heard this level of intensity from a live band. (The late) Jon Lord played his keyboards through a guitar amp so that he could match the intensity of Ritchie Blackmore's guitar. It took a few years for Deep Purple to reach their peak popularity, but in 1972, their album 'Machine head' and a live record 'Made in Japan' broke the band big worldwide by 1973. Unfortunately, Deep Purple was also dogged by tension and Blackmore's temperament... that caused friction in the band and Ian Gillan quit the band by 1973 and Roger Glover was ousted as well (he quit before they could fire him)... Despite the changes, Deep Purple got even bigger in 1974 when David Coverdale (vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass & vocals) joined and released the albums 'Burn' and 'Stormbringer'... But more issues led to Ritchie Blackmore leaving the band in 1975... he went on to form a new band Rainbow w/ Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Deep Purple hired (late) guitarist Tommy Bolin and released the 1975 album 'Come taste the band'... but fans didn't want Deep Purple without Ritchie Blackmore... and a series of mishaps on tour led to Deep Purple's breakup in 1976. Thankfully, Deep Purple reunited in 1984 w/ Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore and Roger Glover returning w/ Jon Lord and Ian Paice... Blackmore left the band in 1993... Jon Lord left amicably around 2002 and passed away in 2012 from cancer (R.I.P)... Steve Morse (guitar) joined from 1994 until 2022, while former Rainbow keyboardist Don Airey joined in 2003... Deep Purple is finishing off their career w/ Simon McBride on guitar who has been touring w/ the veteran band.

I went to a Deep Purple 2 years ago and they was still brilliant . I have been a fan since the 60's they have no equals

It looked like Deep Purple crashed a Sunday church service.

Yeah I was 19 when this song was released. I was fortunate to be young at that time. Worth being 71 today. Hearing the songs from this era takes me back to feel those feelings I had when I first heard this song decades ago. Thank you!

I was about about 7 or 8 years old when this was released. I first watched it on a black and white TV. Normally I didn't watch TV but I got to see this because my dad made me sit down and pay attention. It blew my tiny mind. Now I'm in my 60's and still listen to progressive rock and metal. My son is into progressive, experimental music and beat boxing. It's a good feeling.

Deep Purple with Ian Gillan is a rare example of amazing musicianship. They just jam and it's always cool.

Wow, this live performance speaks for itself. Deep Purple in this line up was a superieur rockband. What these five top musicians could bring to the table was insane.................!!!!!! Loved the disbelieve shining through in your reaction. Purple deserves that.

If you want “controlled chaos” watch Pink Floyd live at Pompeii A saucerful of secrets performance.

Thanks for the great reaction! This song is since a long time in my playlist of unbelievable good songs!

The tv audiences back in those days were told to sit still and quiet. Looks really strange to us now.

probably in the top 5 of the greatest bands of all times whatever the genre.

you have the same amazement of the audience for one of the first tv show of led zeppelin in sweden in 1969 ,you can find it on youtube

I know someone has mentioned this was recorded for German TV but I'm pretty sure it was actually for a live music show "Doing their Thing" on Granada TV, my local independent TV broadcaster in the NW of England. As mentioned, the audience would have been under strict instructions to be still and silent so as not to affect the recording of the performance, (because the recording equipment wouldn't have been as sophisticated as that available today). I really don't know why reactors are always so shocked by the static audience given that people would have tuned in to Granada at the time to see and hear Deep Purple, not whoops and hollers from the audience, until the end of course. Unfairly, Deep Purple were the less celebrated group within the, so called, "Unholy Trinity" British bands of that era Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, DP, thought to be the Godfathers of what was to become Heavy Metal. For many, myself included, this was the classic line up of DP who would go on to have many personnel changes over the years. Ian Gillan...Vocals, Ritchie Blackmore...Guitar, Jon Lord...Organ, Roger Glover...Bass and Ian Paice...Drums. Unsurpassed.

The second era is great as well, Burn Mistreated Stormbringer Soldier of fortune And too many others 😅

Love you lady ! Hope your doing good, thank you for reacting to this song, one of my favorites from deep purple !

This is so much feeling, and they really give it all for TV recording back in early 70’s. I have the fortune 1999 to ser them live at royal Albert hall in london. The keyboard player John lord ( R.I.P) did a amazing classic part with the symphony orchestra of England. I brought my son age of 5 at the time, and he still talk about this live performance. Just love your reaction tho, so honest and u like it to 😊

Godfathers of hard rock and heavy metal. Pure musicianship and talent.

This song embodies the heartbreak that is the horror of war. DP was a heavy metal rock band which at least 3 members were classically trained. Jon Lord organ, Ian Gillan, vocal, Ritchie Blackmore guitar...Paicey on drums drive this band through all 3 versions

Part of the foundation of rock. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, & Led Zeppelin are known as the "Unholy Trinity Of Rock". So much music over the decades has it's basis in these bands. I'm so glad that I was a teenager when it all kicked off in the late 60's/early 70's. At 64yo I still put the albums on the turntable & crank it up.

They are sitting still, cause they are in awe. What do you want them to do? The best behaved audience ever! Good for them.

Seen them around 5 times and also with all the original members back in the day. Awesome.

Great reaction aileen hope you are having a great day.

Try Lazy by Deep Purple!!

Yeah the Hammond organ sound epitomises that early 70's feel. Deep Purple. Undeniable greatness. Now that's a band.

I was a teen during the 70,s. Spoilt for chose. So many new good groups and artists. I have so many different genres, it’s unbelievable. Thanks for the memories.

Great reaction, and have subscribed!I grew up with this music but never got to hear this live performance until KZread. In my opinion, it is not only better than the studio version, but one of the very great live performances ever. The reason why the crowd was pacified is because they were told by the BBC, in no uncertain terms, to be quiet as this would be recorded and didn't want external noices affecting the quality. Personally, I would have felt it almost impossible to keep still!

But aren’t you glad now that there are no stupid American audience interventions in the quiet sections. Good on the Beeeb for capturing this so perfectly.

Probably one of the 2 most talented bands from the 70s (along with Led Zeppelin). All so musically talented as shown by the jam in the middle with a perfectly synchronised stop. Edit: also another great anti-Vietnam War song as well (along with War Pigs from Black Sabbath).

Gillan has said (more than once) it was about the Cold War, not the American War against Vietnam.

@@psbarrow The Vietnam war was part of the Cold War, as were the Korean war and various lesser regional proxy flare-ups. The structure of the song perfectly captures the years of uneasy peace interspersed with spasms of chaos, madness and terror, all for what? The blind man shooting at the world may represent self-serving, scapegoating politicians and the armament tycoons happily coining it at the cost of countless lives.

We've gotta put Pink Floyd in surely for a trio of the greatest bands of that era?

You are still on a hot 🔥 streak!!! Outstanding choices for your reaction 👏👌 great strong and confident reactions!!! Not a bad thing to say 😉😏

I love the Deep Purple song "Burn" which is actually a drum solo with the brilliant vocal duet of David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes. I wish there was an animated video with the witch burning down everything and everyone...

Highway Star was great from Deep Purple
