      Very cool! Thank you Elizabeth and team... great stuff! As a request I would love to see your reaction to Linkin Park, in particular Crawling. You seen to appreciate lyrics with deep and heavy messages.. this is one. And the story behind Chester (lead singer gone 4 years now) is simliar to that of Chris Cornell. In fact there is a video of the two of them performing Crawling.. very moving. I love your passion for music and really enjoy watching your reactions :-)

Then they make it possible. Gillian definitely paved the way. Let's face it was there anything like rock opera? Child in time was the first. 1970 anyone try that before ? Deep Purple concerto for group and orchestra? Jon Lord's baby he made it possible another musical genius. Deep Purple In Rock is definitely a major factor to what we coined heavy metal along with Black Sabbath. Zeppelin always more blues Rock.

    Once in a billion lives comes a vocalist like Ian Gillian. His emotion and quality of vocal chords are beyond comprehension. Ian was born to sing. I first heard him when I was 13 yrs old and am now 64 and am still listening to him now. Your critique is wonderful and I can see the passion you have for your coaching. You are the breath of fresh air we need as well. Each one of those musicians are complete masters in their own rights. Ian chose his backing musicians very carefully.

    I lost my eye sight a few years ago, for a period of 6 months, not knowing if it would ever come back. 7 operatios later it did, to some degree. This song literally saved my life. I hadn't heard it before I lost my sight then when I was listening to the radio this came on. My favourite song ever and Ian Gillan is one of my favourite singers. I still cry every time I hear this.

      I lost 75% of my field of view... I don't see from the left eye, neither from the right half of my right eye. But from the little I see I can see well. So I adapted and today I even fly in FPV.
      But the beginning is hard as heck... It's a long history, but I lost it because of a surgery... I had a tumor below the brain, really close to where the optical nerves get together... And many people that go through it lost 100%... So, it wasn't nice, I had other issues, got depression that I still need to take medications for, but... I'm here, alive and being able to have fun. You know?
      I hope you are doing well and feeling good about yourself and your life today. 😊

      @martinwilliams3595 First Person View. In this case, in the rc world, let's say, you put a little camera and a video transmitter on the vehicle (a drone, rc car, rc airplane, wing, whatever) and you use a pair of goggles with screens and a video receiver. So you drive or pilot as if you were inside the vehicle.
      Until a few years ago we had just analog cameras and video transmitters, which have pretty low image quality, but now there are 3 digital systems in the market you can choose... And the image quality of 2 of them is just amazing... (The third system is more focused on low latency, so it's more for racing pilots.)
      So image this... Going up 200 feet, turning down and just pushing throttle (the accelerator, let's say) to zero... Or going to a farm, strapping the camera to a rc crawler (which are usually trucks, very slow but with great suspension) and just exploring...
      There's the long range fliers, for example, who go to miles and miles distant... Usually on mountains, to see waterfalls up close and stuff like that...

    The guitar player is Steve Morris not to be confused with Steve Morse, Purple's longtime guitarist.. Morris was Gillan's musical director at this time. Story goes that Gillan received many audition tapes that he just routinely threw away without listening to them. One day his manager was listening to the tape Morris had sent in. Impressed, Gillan asked where he got it. Manager replied that he got it from Gillan's waste bin. The two (Morris and Gillan) wrote two or three of Gillan's solo albums together. Excellent guitar player....I appreciate how you gave kudos to Gillan's expression because Gillan's genius is seen in his brilliant lyrics. And, gosh, you are so pretty.

Yes his name is Steve Morris and he and Gillan wrote much of the material for Gillan's solo albums of the 90s. I initially made the typo Morse and Gillan but I changed it. Steve Morse and Steve Morris play together on Smoke on the Water version recorded with the Royal Philharmonic in 2000, I think was the year. Another great performance of Steve Morse is with Kansas when a recovering Kerry Livgren (original Kansas main songwriter and stroke victim) joined Rich Williams and Morse stage with the New York Philharmonic to play Kansas tunes. Morse appeared on two Kansas studio albums between the Dixie Dregs and joining Deep Purple as Blackmore's replacement.

      It's hard to find information about him too. Steve Morse was way more popular and played with Gillan for years so his name dominates search results for Steve Morris. I found a website I believe is owned by Steve Morris once but sadly I didn't book mark it and haven't been able to find it again.
      He is an incredibly talented guitarist but for whatever reason he was mainly just a hired gun or studio artist.

      That's from the Naked Thunder tour. Toolbox was a completely different line up.

They kept working together for years though, up to One Eye To Morocco from 2009.

    Trivia I roadied for Deep Purple at their 1974 gig in Edinburgh Scotland and after they had left the stage and the audience filtered out I couldn't resist strapping on Ritchie Blackmore's Fender Stratocaster just to feel how that felt. I was just 16 and learning to play on a cheap Stratocaster Copy so that was the first time to feel the real deal and on that empty stage with just my mate looking on I strummed the opening Riff to Smoke On The Water unplugged and looking at each other both laughed at that moment. Anyway what I love about such analysis is how it adds an additional dimension and how exceptional a Vocalist like Ian Gillian is/was. I was 14 when I bought the 1972 single Never Before and the B-Side was When A Blind Man Cries but not a side I played much back then. Many years later in an interview Jon Lord said that they suspected their Label would ask them for a single and all felt that this would surely be the one adding it just goes to show how wrong a Band a can be and their fans knew better that Smoke On The Water was the stand out song on that Album.

However, I saw a Russian band perform this song in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation at the Jimi Hendrix club. Some background, my Russian fiance or wife to be (we did get married, twice!), had an argument, and I asked the singer/keyboard player if he knew the song by BB King "The Thrill is Gone"? The singer told me that perhaps his boys know this song? Well he played a great version of BB's hit, but he followed it with this I thought obscure song, that nearly brought me to tears with heavy emotion. The manager of the club spoke to the singer/leader of the band and said play some upbeat music, nobody is buying drinks. The songs were too dark. However, I never forgot that song, but had no idea it was a Deep Purple song. Thank you.

    Please analyze the title track to Black Sabbath's "Born Again." Ian did the vocals on that album, and the song "Born Again" features IMHO some of his best vocals.

      Born Again is one of the greatest slow songs Sabbath ever did.

      Definitely! I'm not sure if there is any decent live version of Born Again, but I strongly recommend this song. Gillan's voice is insane there.

      @@Kostya1987 You're probably right about that. I've come across some decent versions over the years, but they're not easy to find.

    Ian's voice is amazing, you really have to listen to him live with Black Sabbath doing DISTURBING THE PRIEST, there is a reason he is still putting out records

    I love that distinctive Ian Gillan voice. He doesn't have as many octaves as he used to back in the Deep Purple days. He definitely could not get to an A5 nowadays but his, as well as many other singers voices change with age
