This song is amazing... first you’re blown away by Gillan's delicate, soulful vocals ... then you’re blown away by his screams ... then you;re blown away by Blackmore's solo ... then you're blown away by Jon Lord's keyboard .... and all the while underlining it all and driving it forward are Paice and Glover, each a world-class musician in their own right .... what a triumph!
Ian Gillan had an incredible voice. Pavarotti was a HUGE fan. He thought Ian had one of the best voices he'd ever heard! Ian was also 'Jesus' in the original recording of 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. Andrew Lloyd Webber wanted him to be his leading man on stage in the West End of London and on Broadway in New York but Ian preferred to stay with Deep Purple. You should check out his performance in Jesus Christ Superstar though. It's pretty amazing! In the World of rock music he's undoubtedly one of the GOATs. Many would say THE GOAT! Even in popular music generally, he's considered one of the GOATs! His influence on rock music, and beyond, has been immense! :)
He is a counter Tenor, to clarify, yes the note was high, A5 and then toward the end of the musical piece, he sung even higher, with vibrato and fry, which is very impressive. A great rock band.
The keyboard sound is a Hammond organ. The old analog sound of yester-year still cannot be truly replicated with digital technology. Ian Gillan's vocal style was not taught or copied (there was nobody to copy or teach this in 1970 and no internet either) it was developed entirely on his own. Kids back then didnt waste their time playing computer games , they practiced and practiced. This song is a master piece. It is sad that most music of today has lost its soul and that many young people can no longer sit attentively and truly listen and enjoy brilliance .
And here is another song just to show that DEEP PURPLE is the greatest hard rock band ever !! IAN Gillan on vocals , IAN PAICE on drums , Roger Glover on bass , John Lord on organ and piano , and Ritchie Blackmore on guitar . They all knew their instruments very well ,and they played together well ! They have way too many cool tunes to list here ,,, Highway Star ,,, LAZY , RAT BAT BLUE , , Woman From Tokyo ,,,,,,, way too many to name here !!!!!!!
This is my dad's favourite song l. He used to force us to listen to this in the dark st least once a week in the 70's, 80's and 90's... now I listen 9n my own to remember those days. I LOVE his voice
As the keyboard player Jon Lord said "What we lacked in songwriting we had to make up for in musicianship". p.s. TV crowds were often asked to be quiet for the benefit of the recording.
Top 3 in the world rip Jon Douglas Lord. Always over shadow by Ritchie Blackmore both are top 3 in the world along with Ian Gillian. Pace top 5 Glover top 10. A supergroup by today standards.
In the original recording of the Musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" Ian Gillan sang the lead role...the colour and timbre of his voice is brilliant..please give it a listen, in particular the song "Gethsemane"
"Child in time" and "a highway star" to me are the masterpiece, something unforgettable of deep purple. And of the DP's vocalists, Ian Gillan was great.
Seeing your reaction to the instrumental in the middle of the song, you should probably know that all the members of this group were absolute virtuosos and a couple of them had classical training. All are leading candidates for the title of GOAT, on their particular instrument! :)
I heard Hush and Kentucky Woman on the radio and like them. When I got paid from my afternoon paper Route I went to the Record store and looked around and I saw the Deep Purple In Rock Album in new release Section. I loved the Mount Rushmore Parity. I had no idea about the change of the singer and bass player. I didn't know anyone's name in the band. So for $2:49 I bought In Rock. When I put the Album on my GE Wildcat Stereo and when Speed King Came on I was blown away as were my parents Haha. I have been hooked on Deep Purple since that first encounter with what has been my favorite Studio Album for 52 years. I see so many comments about Ian Gillian and he deserves every one of them as do Lord, Glover, and the Original Energizer Bunny Ian Paice. But I know a lot of people that don't mention Blackmore because of his attitude. That attitude is responsible for some of the Greatest if not the greatest music ever produced. Ritchie was doing Metal licks here and there on the first three albums of Mark l. He took live guitar to a higher level. I am absolutely puzzled why Ritchie isn't considered in the top three Rock Guitarist of all time. To me he was the best and he was the Original Shredder. Hendrix called Ritchie Mr. Speed after he saw Deep Purple in Los Angeles after Cream wouldn't let them warm up Cream on Cream's Farewell Tour. I can't remember if Deep Purple got fired after 3 or 5 shows. They were showing Cream up. I am pretty sure it was because Ritchie was crushing it. Hendrix told Jon Lord that their guitarist is something special. Deep Purple partied with Hendrix at the same house the Manson Family murdered Sharon Tate. I believe about a year later. Hendrix performed two shows with Jon Lord in New York sometime later. Jon said when Hendrix walked away was the last time he saw Jimmy. Jon and Jimmy were the nicest and humble performers. If Hendrix saw that Blackmore was great I can't see how others can't see it or especially hear it. Rib Jon and Jimmy!
Deep Purple were insanely awesome.. So many amazing songs, so much talent.. I am so glad you got to see this video.. Deep Purple are the kind of band where you put on the album & end up listening to both sides all the way through.. One of my favourite bands ever.. So many bands were like that back in the day, just great song after great song unlike today.. Songs were songs, they weren't these BS 3 minute hook songs that ya sick of hearing after 3 times.. Just my opinion of course but i am always right just ask me..
CHILD IN TIME-You betcha! I heard of em when I was attending Mount Saint Michael Academy High School Bronx New York Sophomore year 1972. Song released 1970. Today song is as FRESH and NEW when I first listened to and heard it back then!!!!!!!!!! Today's music......Don't even try to compare compete with 70's ROCK!
This is one of the few hard rock groups I enjoyed in the 60's-70's. My favorites are their covers of Joe South's "Hush" & Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman". Also like "Smoke On The Water", "Lazy", "Woman From Tokyo", "Highway Star", "Fireball", Speed King", "Space Truckin'", etc.
When i saw them in the 70's the crowd was just like you see in the film here. Everyone was shell shocked . pun intended . It was unbelievable and i can still feel the thud inside my chest every time i hear this song .
I saw/heard Ian Gillan in the eighties, he was performing with another band. The concert was at Sandy Creek near Coffs Harbour. It was fantastic!😃 That beautiful,oh so powerful voice!⭐🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏🌺🇦🇺⭐👣🦉🏡🌴❤️❤️❤️
Man, great reaction! Uriah Heep, one of the big four. They have some good stuff! Amanda, Gypsy, Tales, Lady in black, Sunrise, Time to live, Think it over...
Nick my man, if you can hit all these notes you truly are That Singer brother and I am here for it. But don't tease us, you gotta share. Ian Gillan was known as Mr. Scream-on-Key to my best friend and I growing up. We played copies of Made in Japan on vinyl until we wore them out. Then we got more copies. ✌️😜 Peace 🔥🎯💖
Roger Glovers bass playing was way underrated.. We only have to listen to songs like highway star or lazy to hear it.. The variety of bass lines in Lazy are crazy good & really drive the song forward.. Anyone can play bass but not everyone can play it good..
Try the song 'Lazy' from the same concert more great organ work by Jon Lord with Ritchie matching the tune. A later version of the group has David Coverdale and Glen Hughes both no slouches in the singing department,try the song "Burn" live in concert in about 1974.
Whenever I see a song I have a big connection with, I start wondering if I’m the one who requested it! 😂 😂 😂 Used to play this as my outro track on student radio - it gave the next presenter time to set up 8 minutes. Love this track.
Right on my brother I was just sleeping through the channels and found you and I like the one you did of Deep Purple - Child in Time I'm going to request that you do some other Deep Purple the song is called Perfect Strangers and another one called Hush and of course you can't do this band without starting with the song called - Smoke on the Water ✌️😎👍 PEACE OUT
DUDE, not sure if you figured out where you recognized the song from at 6:18, but that exact part of the song was in the movie Twister! That's actually how I got into Deep Purple to begin with. In the movie, Dusty grabs a remote and turns on a live version of this song right at that breakdown and I LOVED it so much I went out and bought Deep Purple music and became a fan!
The video is not of child in time because it’s from California Jam where they did not play it, as Gillian had left and been replaced by David Coverdale. The director just mashed the two together. Film makers what they like eh?
@@arthur2shedsjackson I do remember that! The song was Child In Time, but the video wasn't the same. I remember because I spent WAY too long searching for the right version based on the video only to find it was doctored in the movie.
That buree that you thought sounded familiar was used by a lot of the bands during that time period. Among them being led zeppelin, (how many more times), jeff beck in becks bolero, the who, Yardbirds.
A3 to A5 would be correct. When you have been on a plane for 14 hours and land in Tokyo and go to the stadium and this is what comes out of you....Amazing.
It's amusing watching this generation watching and discovering pure talent.
62 years, I am so proud to have grown up in this era. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I love watching these reactions.
This song is amazing... first you’re blown away by Gillan's delicate, soulful vocals ... then you’re blown away by his screams ... then you;re blown away by Blackmore's solo ... then you're blown away by Jon Lord's keyboard .... and all the while underlining it all and driving it forward are Paice and Glover, each a world-class musician in their own right .... what a triumph!

He would love hearing Ian Gillan singing "Gethsemane". Fantastic voice.
> He thought Ian had one of the best voices he'd ever heard!
And he was not wrong.
Deep purple was like the dream team in Olympic basketball, every member was an all star at their position
He is a counter Tenor, to clarify, yes the note was high, A5 and then toward the end of the musical piece, he sung even higher, with vibrato and fry, which is very impressive. A great rock band.
No, Ian Gillan is a baritone. He sing A5-G5-F5 first two times and G5-F5-E5 the third time.
His range was 4 octaves and 2 semitones.
One of the best rock singers ever
I saw these guys back in the 70’s - checkout - lazy - another awesome number!!
Holy shit, I completely forgot how good Deep Purple were. Wow!
One of the best songs in the music history. Grettings from Spain 🖐🏿🖐️

Ian was a choir boy when he was at school.
Today's music is what you get when schools eliminate band classes! Education shouldn't be all about tests!
Jon Lord top 3 in the world. Rip Jon Douglas Lord 😢
And here is another song just to show that DEEP PURPLE is the greatest hard rock band ever !! IAN Gillan on vocals , IAN PAICE on drums , Roger Glover on bass , John Lord on organ and piano , and Ritchie Blackmore on guitar .

Deep Purple is the greatest hard rock band ever & its not even close.
Highway star, Burn...👍
@@creepycrespi8180 They had the best vocalist. That's a start!
LZ

this in my opinion is the greatest band in history
TOP TEN, dude!!! ❤ BERNIE GERMANY 😊
Can you imagine singing that on a nightly basis AND nailing it?
Deep Purple in 1972....there was nothing like it. Wait for the ricochet.
Gotta love how Ian Gillian trolls everyone by saying... "I wanna hear you sing - AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Like fcuk we're singing that Ian. 😂
In the original recording of the Musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" Ian Gillan sang the lead role...the colour and timbre of his voice is brilliant..please give it a listen, in particular the song "Gethsemane"
"Child in time" and "a highway star" to me are the masterpiece, something unforgettable of deep purple. And of the DP's vocalists, Ian Gillan was great.
You have the cream of the cream here, vocals, guitar, organ, drums, bass...
The power in this group is astounding….
Great song, great reaction 😊👍
So so glad you reacted to this! One of the best rock bands of all time! My dad loves this band
Great reaction and great understanding of music!!!!all the best from Poland!!!

And thank you for the good music by Deep Purple from Germany! What a smash song live!
Great to see young people appreciate what I have for 40 yeats! Cheers 🍻!
One of the greatest TV vocal performances ever...

This what happens when classically trained musicians form a rock band.
This is one of the few hard rock groups I enjoyed in the 60's-70's. My favorites are their covers of Joe South's "Hush" & Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman". Also like "Smoke On The Water", "Lazy", "Woman From Tokyo", "Highway Star", "Fireball", Speed King", "Space Truckin'", etc.
When i saw them in the 70's the crowd was just like you see in the film here. Everyone was shell shocked . pun intended . It was unbelievable and i can still feel the thud inside my chest every time i hear this song .
Singers back then didn't use auto tune, they didn't need it, they had this other thing called talent.
dude have you been to an opera play?! stfu
I LOVE this live performance much better than the studio recording 🥰💜👏 PS LOVED your reaction 😎
Ian Gillan, original Jesus Christ Superstar. Richie Blackmore, unreal guitarist.
i love to see the and enjoying the young Guys listen to my old music, I´ve seen D.P. iun 73 inFrankfort W-Germany, was so great
my favourite song as i was in school
Deep Purple was so in tune with each other that silence was just another note to them.
But Ian and Ritchie couldn’t stand each other. What a shame
I saw/heard Ian Gillan in the eighties, he was performing with another band. The concert was at Sandy Creek near Coffs Harbour. It was fantastic!😃 That beautiful,oh so powerful voice!⭐🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏🌺🇦🇺⭐👣🦉🏡🌴❤️❤️❤️
Saw them in concert, it was amazing. Loved those days. Enjoy them sir.
Mind blowing musicianship
One of my dads favourite 🎵 songs , one of the best rock bands of all time, part of this song featured in the movie Twister
Man, great reaction!
Uriah Heep, one of the big four. They have some good stuff! Amanda, Gypsy, Tales, Lady in black, Sunrise, Time to live, Think it over...
Dude! Your face!…. You understand Brother!
Massive respect! 🤜🤛
This is pure art...
This is an amazing performance. Not a major vocal song but lazy by deep purple is a great jam song
Nick my man, if you can hit all these notes you truly are That Singer brother and I am here for it.
But don't tease us, you gotta share.
Ian Gillan was known as Mr. Scream-on-Key to my best friend and I growing up. We played copies of Made in Japan on vinyl until we wore them out.
Then we got more copies. ✌️😜
Peace 🔥🎯💖
You sound good singing this, bro! Would love to hear your version. Thanks for this tremendous reaction -- I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I’m glad you finally connected with this !
I love it too 🥰! Thank you, i loved your soul reaction ❤️🙏🏻. You have now a new subscriber. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪. I wish you all the best 🤗☀️!
Nick have a listen to HIGHWAY STAR and many others,Deep Purple is a stupendous band,I have 17 of their 21 albums,I love them!!!!
One of the all time best
I saw them 10 years ago. Still perfect strangers
5:22 - Dude! It was an A5 on the money!
6:30 - just appreciate that intricate basswork going on underneath the melody! It is tasty!!
Roger Glovers bass playing was way underrated.. We only have to listen to songs like highway star or lazy to hear it.. The variety of bass lines in Lazy are crazy good & really drive the song forward.. Anyone can play bass but not everyone can play it good..
@@macisback9059 You are so correct!!
Yes, A5. Not G.
Great stuff... 1970? I can't believe I'm that old LOL
Try the song 'Lazy' from the same concert more great organ work by Jon Lord with Ritchie matching the tune. A later version of the group has David Coverdale and Glen Hughes both no slouches in the singing department,try the song "Burn" live in concert in about 1974.
Some geniuses...🎸
Masterpiece....

You never know who the TV station is going to bring in for an audience.
Look at the album cover this came from…best ever.
Smoke on the Water, Highway Star, Burn , also great songs.
Masterpiece
John Lord on Keys is one of very best
Hasn't started but I *know* you're gunna love this one...
What a magical performance and the crowd was unmoved. Frightening.
You got the voice!👍
Right on my brother I was just sleeping through the channels and found you and I like the one you did of Deep Purple - Child in Time
I'm going to request that you do some other Deep Purple the song is called Perfect Strangers and another one called
Hush and of course you can't do this band without starting with the song called - Smoke on the Water
✌️😎👍 PEACE OUT
I like your voice😊
Jimmy Barnes does a great cover of the Deep Purple song "Lazy"

Listen to him as Jesus in the original album version of Jesus Christ Superstar, especially the song "Gethsamane
YEEEEEEESSSSSSS.
Side note I'm not gonna give up begging you to ask to the artist Simply Red.
Glad you are back man!!
Check out their song lazy and when a blind man cries.
This is music🙌🙌🙌
I’m amazed that their instruments didn’t spontaneously combust
Genios!!!!
Absolutely!!!!
One of the greatest pieces of music written and performed. Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, rainbow, some of the greatest music ever. Epic.
welcome to when music was Quality.
The audience were admitted under strict conditions of sitting still and not making a noise.
This song was also featured in the movie Twister great reaction
You were right. He was going up to A5
You finally heard it 👍
great band Nick. Ian Gillan is a great singer. he played Jesus in the British version of Jesus Christ Superstar.
What i know , he is singing about the Vietnam war 😢. What i Would love you to view. Is Jimi Hendrix, Hey Joe, live .
There were time's in the 70s.
that Ian hit notes that were the equivalent of Mother Superior catching you being self abusive..
Ian gillan was the o.g Jesus Christ superstar Broadway voice
No, he only did Jesus on the original record.
That buree that you thought sounded familiar was used by a lot of the bands during that time period. Among them being led zeppelin, (how many more times), jeff beck in becks bolero, the who, Yardbirds.
I'm 60 and kind of still look like that now.
The Amadeus of rock
Great review & reaction!..👍
You should check out Rob Halford's vocals ,Judas Priest Dreamer Deceiver (BBC performance)
You wont be disappointed! 😎
Have to remember this is during the VietNam War,which everyone was against….
A3 to A5 would be correct. When you have been on a plane for 14 hours and land in Tokyo and go to the stadium and this is what comes out of you....Amazing.
LOL, they looked "so funny" back in the 70s ... from a guy now wearing a baseball cap backwards inside?
C is falsetto, first scream is E then A but the vibrato takes it to C. It's Am so he used notes we identify with
Ian Gillan did Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack in 2.5 hours.
We all knew TSR wasn't going to be able to handle Ian at his best but we watched all the same 😄
Maybe an odd observation, but there were bits in there, mainly organ solo's that have echoes of The Doors.
