Back in 1973, this is the version of Smoke on the Water that made this tune .... the tune, it was played over and over on the radio all around the world ... not the studio version
KISS ALIVE 1 AND 2, Jimi Hendrix at Monterey Pop Festival. Johnny Cash - 'At Folsom Prison', Allman Brothers - Fillmore East, Zeppelin - How the West Was Won
Holy Cow! I never get tired of this finest example of live Rock 'n Roll from the 70s. I bought this double album vinyl for like six dollars. Money I made on my paper-route. Just blew me away at 13. Now 63 and I can see why. Made in Japan. The pinnacle. All their live jams were just a little different. What an album.
I bought it, or more likely my parents bought it for me at around the same time as you (@1974 -75) but i was around 11 at the time. Still got it on vinyl although I'm not sure if it is the original one from back then, I may have replaced it in the eighties.
Such a magic performance. And without this live performance, "Smoke On The Water" just would have been another really good Deep Purple song... but this performance elevated the song into something really special....just my opinion.
+pajasa62 And it's really a LIVE album, not one that was re-recorded in the studio, or fixed up. Their engineer Martin Birch did the recording in Japan and then mixed it back in the States (I think) . One of my favorite actual live albums.
Yeah... this song and Space Truckin!! I wonder how many GALLONS of Jim BEAM I consumed with these songs in the 70's in Smyrna, GA ---> It's a miracle I'm still alive!!
Best riff ever. Live version conquered the world. Blackmore's intro ruled, then the cymbals come in, by the time the bass comes in its absolutely monstrous
I remember hearing Roger Glover's bass underneath Ritchie Blackmore's solo way back in junior high school. Cinched my decision to take up the bass at the suggestion of a friend. 40 years later, I'm still playin'! :)
Best EVER version of Smoke on the Water. The intro and the middle solo especially at 3'36 are brilliant. Blackmore's solo after the second verse has to ne listened to repeatedly to be believed. He is on Fire !!!! Both Roger Glover and Jon Lord around 2003 said that Blackmore played little or no over dubs for Made in Japan. Glover in a separate interview said he had chills re-listening to Made in Japan but especially Smoke in the Water as Ritchie got the song in one take. Most live albums are re-produced in studio's. I love Led Zeppelin but in the last few years it has come to fruition that Page re-created solos for the 30 years too late Zeppelin album How the West was Won. Blackmore's performance on Made in Japan is illustrates that he is one of the world's bet guitarist, and live probably the best in the live arena. Once again, the BEST ever version.
Jon Lord, the reason I fell in love with the hammond...learning the scale at the end of this song as a teen was the most awesome thing....ever. LoNg LiVe RoCk!
I was 10 years old when this album came out and got a free copy of it because my sister bought one and didn't much care for it so she gave it to me. More than any other album, it's this one that really turned me on to classic rock and strangely enough, it's because it was a live album. I was too young to fully understand what a live album was but I remember thinking how cool it was to be able to hear the singer talking to the crowd and the rest of the band just playing around and adding little touches to the song. It wasn't until some years later that I got to hear the studio versions of all these songs and, being so accustomed to the live versions and liking them so much, I remember being a little disappointed in the studio versions. That's particularly true for this song. This is the first version of it I ever heard and it's still far and away my favorite! Classic, legendary band!
This was the first version I heard of SMOTW as my dad has this LP. To this day, the studio version of the solo sounds like its being played at 3/4 speed. Ritchie Blackmore shredded this version! Its the only one I can listen to.
Not sure if you can do it with the remastered version but I think on the original vinyl version Blackmore and Lord are almost separated on the left and right channels.. If you you cut out the right channel you'll hear mostly Jon Lord
Всегда без ума от этой версии песни ... особенно начало со вступительным словом Гиллана и последующим вступлением "Черномора " Ритчи и бесподобный финал✌✌✌,первый раз услышал эту песню школьником на виниле(прекраснейший сборник) у друга, у которого брат привез из ГДР служивший в Советской Армии.!!!!!
My older sister had a 45 of this performance edited for a single which cut some of the guitar solo, the organ solo, and some of the licks traded towards the end...still classic and fantastic. Wore it out.
The genre of Rock & Roll has many subgenres. Deep Purple helped popularize the heavy, blues-based rock subgenre. Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath are part of that subgenre. I didn't expect a reply to my post from three years ago.....LOL
Whenever there is a countdown of the best rock songs ever, this is always in the top 3. Usually, Free Bird, Baba O’Reilly and this. Even people who do not know rock music, know this song. This song is just about 50 years old. See if there is any song now they will talk about 50 years later.
Yes, and no over dubs added on afterwards. Everything you hear is just how it was when they played the shows. Absolutely incredible, best Live album ever released.
It is this version which was the b-side of the single that propelled this tune around the world to be the monster tune it became, it seems so strange the lesser versions are played more and many then don`t understand why the tune was so big. It is almost like having a $200 bottle of wine and only drinking a $2 version
These guys were at the top of thier game here and just when they were flying so high Gillan and Glover are forced out of the band by Blackmore and if only he could have chilled his ego a bit there's no telling how much higher Purple phase 2 could have climbed but they would later be replaced by Coverdale and Hughes, and sure Burn and Stormbringer are good albums but Who Do We Think We Are (which is very underrated) was recorded right before Gillan and Glover left Purple but received little attention.
One interesting aspect to this track was its release at a time when both AM and FM radio were alive and well. The softer studio version became an FM radio staple, but this live version (which I much prefer) was a smash AM hit. Was it perhaps the last hard rock AM single?
@@joelombrdo It's Ritchie's most popular riff but not his best. He had better riffs with Rainbow such as Kill The King and Man On The Silver Mountain. he said himself, its not great as it consists of just 4 notes.
Sometimes the simplest are the best. I say it's the best because it's the catchiest and because it's most well known. You are correct that he had others that were technically better. Man on the Silver Mountain is an awesome, unique riff--so true.
Yes this is The Version of this mythic song raised to the summit of pure inspired performance. This a genuine gift and I can imagine the joy of the musicians during this concert when reaching such a high wild beauty ! This must have been something out of any attempt to express it !

This song is to Rock what the "Our Father" is to Catholicism. This is it. If you are of an age, introduce this to your kids, to your nieces and nephews. It wipes away all the Miley, Gaga and Kanye. 7 notes, like a soothing balm on the soul.

Live is always better with decent bands
Yup.
He was on fire that night!
And the worst part also is this , you have to scroll all the way down to get this version all above are studio
Вне всякого сомнения best
Back in 1973, this is the version of Smoke on the Water that made this tune .... the tune, it was played over and over on the radio all around the world ... not the studio version
Best version ever made.
greatest version ever
I was jammin' with this when it first hit the airwaves!
No doubt. Chills right now. Every fucking cymbal every fucking bass note makes me want to go back to the 70s . Damn
kneelandpray2 Absolutely! I was 16 when they played it, and I had the vinyl LP record. Best sound ever!!!
Yes !
The greatest live album of all time.

The best version ever by Deep Purple,Ritchie Blackmore solo simply stunning !!!
Fuck Blackmore's solo. It was the Lords Best solo.

It's 2024, and the riff remains as juicy as ever!
Best riff ever. Live version conquered the world. Blackmore's intro ruled, then the cymbals come in, by the time the bass comes in its absolutely monstrous
that bass makes my lungs quake
Glover's bass just floats in and takes everything to another level. I sit waiting for that bass every time I listen to this.
This is the best version of this song hands down
I remember hearing Roger Glover's bass underneath Ritchie Blackmore's solo way back in junior high school. Cinched my decision to take up the bass at the suggestion of a friend. 40 years later, I'm still playin'! :)
What a solo! The musicianship, the melodic awareness, the dynamics...superb!
わぁ、ビックリ！なんと！感動です👍♥️
Real music
The way this version builds is just EPIC!
Yes, I agree
The most recognizable rift in the rock world!
Second only to the San Andreas fault 😜
have never heard a betterversion. Epic, iconic,legendary, live gold standard, you name it.
I "need" to listen to this at least once a week - Since the late 70s! Ritchie's intro and solo in this version are epic. Paice's "swing" is terrific.
From 4:10 the Ritchie solo goes otherwordly... just love that. Best live version best any version. Perfection. 🫡
Best EVER version of Smoke on the Water. The intro and the middle solo especially at 3'36 are brilliant. Blackmore's solo after the second verse has to ne listened to repeatedly to be believed. He is on Fire !!!!

I dont think Live in Japan was doctored.Do you have a source for that interview?
Lord's solo near the end is also magnificent.
SIMPLE EPIC !!! Rolling Stone magazine once said "There are moments on this album that have never been surpassed in the history of rock and roll."
Jon Lord, the reason I fell in love with the hammond...learning the scale at the end of this song as a teen was the most awesome thing....ever. LoNg LiVe RoCk!
At the end you can hear the power blasting thru the crowd. Absolutely epic. Ten times better than studio version (at least)!
The only studio song of theirs that really did it for me was Speed King - and THAT LEGENDARY intro.
Jon lord takin over blastin everything

This version of this song might be my very favorite hard rock performance (studio or live) of all. Truly classic, truly great.
I could never get bored listening to this live version. It's so beautiful that it even lingers in my dream over and over!
Absolutely the best version ever
Great tune! When that Bass and Organ Kicks in you can here the Amps Vibrating! It's really Cranking!!
I Wore two inch grooves in my older sister's album listening to this song,over and over!! mob 🎸☮️🔥
Of course the studio version is excellent, but it was this live version that MADE Smoke on the Water one of the all time great songs.
I could listen to this over and over for hours.
This version is amazing. I swapped the vinyl with a friend in the 70s. I still have it. Love it! The whole album is awesome.
Best version of smoke on the water live
Che dire......sublime Blackmore e grandissimo gruppo!!!!
Best live version of smoke on the water!!!!
Absolutely brilliant song!!!!!! Fantastic live show !!! Best live album ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
La mejor introducción en vivo y el mejor álbum en vivo en la historia del rock
Bought the original album when it came out! Best version of SOTW ever!!!
Love the live version the best....I seen them in Savannah Ga. back in the day...Rock On !

Roger Glover's bass strikes in the beginning !!

La mejor versión de este clasicazo del rock,estratosférico Blackmore!!
This was the first version I heard of SMOTW as my dad has this LP. To this day, the studio version of the solo sounds like its being played at 3/4 speed. Ritchie Blackmore shredded this version! Its the only one I can listen to.
Best version!!!
best version ever played
One of the most ubiquitous guitar riffs of all time, might have never been so popular if it had not been released as a single.
1:15... when that bass comes in... it's like... holy fuck.
The absolute only true version of the classic!
This reminds me of my whole patrol playing air guitar at scout camp back in the summer of ‘73.
Absolutely killer bass at the beginning when he kicks it in WOW turn it up
The Bass slays it.
Best riff ever by the best band ever
I wanna hear the version with just Jon Lord playing doing all the solos holy shit!
check the live in NY version
Not sure if you can do it with the remastered version but I think on the original vinyl version Blackmore and Lord are almost separated on the left and right channels.. If you you cut out the right channel you'll hear mostly Jon Lord

Both the studio and live versions were in the U.S. Top 10 at the same time back then.
No other live rock & roll song matches the brilliance of this one.
Stogie2112 so right my friend 😀😀😀👍👍👍
Oh I don't know, check out Highway Star rom the same album. Made In Japan.

Wow the sound is so crisp no band can match this sound live fkin amazing
Yes, and no over dubs added on afterwards. Everything you hear is just how it was when they played the shows. Absolutely incredible, best Live album ever released.
I had this version on 45 ,the edited version, back in 1980. Still my favorite😊
thanks big fat james for introducing me to this classic in 1972
the greatest song of the greatest rock band!!!
this one i like because its raw and it sounds better its not all plain as the studio version
the best vinyl that i 've
The first 1.30 min alone are worth the whole album👍
It is this version which was the b-side of the single that propelled this tune around the world to be the monster tune it became, it seems so strange the lesser versions are played more and many then don`t understand why the tune was so big.
