5:54 because back in the day we are use to this high level music and there was a lot of it. Now people listen CardyB , Taylor and Megan Stallion , so when you finally understand what the REAL MUSIC and talent is , they are mind blowing
@@andrewplumb6544 It's completely relevant to reacting to a live performance. There probably isn't a person alive today who would watch this for the first time and not wonder, "Great performance, but what's up with that audience?" ;)
The musicians in Deep Purple were probably the best of the UK’s heavy rock generation. John Lord on keyboards, Ian Paice on drums, Richie Blackmore on lead guitar, Roger Glover on bass & Ian Gillian with the vocals.
Im 42, but 60-70's music is my thing, blues my backbone, all those bands are great; Purple, Zeppelin and Who most of them. I love sabbath also, but never been big fan of Stones or Beatles.
Ian Gillan (The hairy scream) absolutely one of the greatest singers in rock history, and this line up, MK2 line up of Deep Purple, definitely one of the greatest rock bands 👌
My first live concert was Deep Purple at Hammersmith Odeon in 1974. It is so nice to see new generations discover music that I grew up with. This is recognized as their best lineup. Ian Gillan on vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord on organ, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums.
Only here in North America he is underrated and for the most part unknown, thanks to the American music press... outside of North America he is on the same level as Bonham
@ponytrekker8996 No offence to Bonham, but he can't hold a candle to the skill of Ian Paice. You're right though. Zeppelin had a great publicist, which is why they're much better known.
@@matt01506 There are some really great bands with several albums each during the early to mid 70's. Trapeze comes to mind, Wishbone Ash, are a couple I enjoyed, but many folks have never heard of!!!
Welcome to the Deep Purple rabbit hole. They had so many hits and so much good music. They were groundbreaking, and like you say all four of them were fantastic, and they just fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. An extreme example of all of those elements and I promise will blow you away, is their hit Highway Star from their iconic Machine Head album.
Stacy Answering your question here, reason for the audience being silent during this song is that Deep Purple were invited guests for live televised show. People, who oversee the show informed audience to be quiet during the show. But their live concerts are awesome when they do their tours, fans go wild.
Deep Purple are all amazing musicians. Ian Gillan on vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord (rip) on keyboards, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums.
Deep Purple was originally formed in 1968 as a British pop rock band after the dissolution of the previous band Roundabout... All the members were professional musicians and the first line-up (Mark I) was: Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), John Lord (organ/ keyboards), Ian Paice (drums), Nick Simper (bass) and Rod Evans (vocals)... They released 3 albums and had some success in America w/ hit cover songs like - 'Hush' ... 'Kentucky woman' ... 'Lalena'. The band wanted to change musical direction in late 1969, so Evans and Simper were fired and the iconic Deep Purple (Mark II) line-up was born w/ Ian Gillan (vocals) and Roger Glover (bass) joining from the band Episode 6... w/ Blackmore (guitar), Lord (keyboards) and Paice (drums)... They were the first rock band in '69 to record a 'Concerto' album w/ a classical orchestra... but after hearing the music of Led Zeppelin... Jimi Hendrix... guitarist Ritchie Blackmore suggested that they go for a 'heavy rock' sound in 1970. Deep Purple released their first 'heavy' single 'Black night' in 1970 followed by the album 'In Rock'... they became a hit in the UK, but America still knew them as the hitmakers that played 'Hush'... Deep Purple built a reputation as an unpredictable and exciting live band on tour as they released the albums 'Fireball' (1971) and 'Machine Head' (1972)... but it was the '72 live album 'Made in Japan' that broke Deep Purple huge worldwide and is regarded as one of the greatest live records (The band said the tapes were recorded on their Japan tour and had no overdubs - only some minor audio cleanups) However, the tensions between singer Ian Gillan and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was becoming intolerable by 1973 after the album 'Who do we think we are' ... Ian Gillan quit Deep Purple in '73... Ritchie Blackmore agreed to stay only if bassist Roger Glover was out of Deep Purple (Ironically, Blackmore hired Roger Glover in 1979 as the bassist/ producer for his band Rainbow) In 1974, Deep Purple launched their new line-up (Mark III) w/ Glenn Hughes (bass + vocals) and David Coverdale (vocals) joining Blackmore (guitar), Lord (keyboards) and Paice (drums)... They released the 'Burn' album and became even more successful than the previous line-up selling out arenas and stadiums by that point... But this time, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was frustrated by the sound of the band... After another successful album 'Stormbringer' in '74... Ritchie Blackmore quit Deep Purple in 1975 to form his own band Rainbow. Tommy Bolin (guitar) was an American guitarist who joined Purple (Mark IV) in '75 for the album 'Come taste the band'... but fans were not interested in a Deep Purple without Ritchie Blackmore... After a difficult tour marred by drug abuse and death, Deep Purple broke up in 1976. Guitarist Tommy Bolin died in late 1976 from an apparent OD. David Coverdale would find success w/ his band Whitesnake in the 80's... Glenn Hughes struggled w/ addiction for years, but recovered and has been actively recording and touring as a solo artist and has a successful project Black Country Communion. Former members of Deep Purple stayed active in various bands after the band ended in '76... but the Mark II line-up of Deep Purple finally reunited in 1984 (Gillan/ Blackmore/ Lord/ Glover/ Paice) for the album 'Perfect strangers'... and launched a comeback tour. However, conflicts re-emerged between Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore after the 1987 album 'House of Blue Light'... Ian Gillan was fired in 1989 and Deep Purple released 1 album 'Slaves and Masters' in 1990 w/ former Rainbow singer Joe Lynn Turner. For their 25th anniversary in 1993, the other members of Deep Purple wanted Ian Gillan back on vocals... Ritchie Blackmore was not happy w/ the decision or the next album 'The Battle rages on' in '93... Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore quit Deep Purple for the final time that year. After a tour w/ guitarist Joe Satriani... Deep Purple hired former Kansas member Steve Morse (guitar) in 1994 and ushered their most stable era, recording the albums 'Purpendicular' (1996) and 'Abandon' (1998) and actively touring and rebuilding their career. Keyboardist Jon Lord amicably left Deep Purple in 2002 to focus of classical music projects... Jon Lord passed away in 2012 from cancer. Former Rainbow member Don Airey (keyboards/ organ) joined Deep Purple in 2003... the band released the albums 'Bananas' (2003) and 'Rapture of the deep' (2005) ... and remained a successful touring band. After Jon Lord passed away, Deep Purple released the album 'Now what?!' in 2013 followed by 'Infinite' (2017) and saw record sales rise once again. Deep Purple planned to close out their legendary career and finished yet another album 'Whoosh' in 2020 and a covers album 'Turning to crime' in 2022... Longtime guitarist Steve Morse announced that he was leaving Deep Purple and was replaced by Simon McBride (guitar) as the band returned to touring and r reportedly planning another record.
Deep Purple Made In Japan 1973, a double live album, considered by many to be one of the best live albums ever recorded! This song & several songs from the Machine Head studio album, are on Made In Japan!
When Ian Gillian(vocalist) hits the first high note. The look on your face was great!😊. I love these guys. Seen them 4 times. Ian Gillian remains one of my favorite singers. Thx Stacey!
This band had so many great songs. Their biggest song was Smoke On The Water, which was based on their actual experiences. Also: Lazy, Highway Star, Space Truckin, Hush, and many more.
Deep Purple was once the loudest band in the world, and one of the best rock and roll groups of course. You need to hear their lessor known songs, which really show their musicianship!!! Like "Fools", "Rat Bat Blue", and more.
This is one of the all timer live recordings. Vocalist Ian Gillan, who also played the part of Jesus in the original Jesus Christ Superstar album, drummer Ian Paice, organist John Lord, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and bassist Roger Glover, they were all amazing on this. Also, no effects, no autotunes. Just pure musicianship.
made in japan was thier great live recorded album ,deep purple was a very unique band combing a lot of musiuc elements with a hard rock dear st acy you just now startedb with dp you must go to tier big hits smoke on bthe water ,highway star ,lazy,spoce truckin , spead king ,hush,and endless more , keep on doing dp but concenterate on thier live preformances .love your reacation ,you are great emoyional reactorist even though you are lack of muysic background , many thanks and keep on joseph from israel (deep purple's fan since the 70th)
He wasn't in the theatre production, but sang the role of Jesus in the original Andrew Lloyd Webber album version of the rock opera. But yeah, dude's amazing
The result was wonderful. I heard half of the first side of the first LP. I bought the original Broadway recording of J.C. Superstar (yes in vinyl) on the way home. I was in 10th grade. It was played for us in a literature class that was taught by an genuine hippy out of southern Calf. He didn't last a year as the way to conservative school board jumped at the first complaint and got rid of him. He taught the class to think about what they were reading and listening to. If all you did was memorize fact then you didn't do well on the exams. A few "Strait A Students" did not do well. I think the complaints came from their parents.
I saw them do this live way back when. Hearing Ian’s singing echoing through the arena on this song was something you just had to experience! 🙆 You are right, they were ALL super talented each in their own way! You will enjoy hearing more! They have lots of amazing songs!
Ian Paice (drums) Ritchie Blackmore (guitars) Jon Lord (keyboards) are original members, Shades of Deep Purple was their debut album and it has some great tunes (it was one of the first two albums I bought as a teen). But when they added Ian Gillan (vocals) and Roger Glover (bass), that's when they just exploded.
Another great choice to react to! They are one of the greatest. And they had a few personnel changes over the years. Even TODAY former member Glenn Hughes bass and vocals tours playing Deep Purple music 50 years after he joined the band. Rock On Stacey!
Four dudes on fire. Crowd told to stay quiet because it was being recorded. You see this a lot in this era - in part due to limitations of recording techniques, also in general UK audiences (in particular) were much more reserved at this time - particularly in sit down concerts - and finally this was a TV studio audience so not necessarily die-hard rock fans. People would buy tickets just to be on TV.
i went to concerts back in the 70s, and you were told to stay in your seats. And as this is a televised performance it would have been even more strict. I went to see Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Genesis back when these groups were just starting out, it was amazing. Glad you liked this performance.
The guitarist Ritchie Blackmore wasn't happy with the direction they were going and wanted a change, and a frontman like Jim Morrison of the Doors. When they found Gillan, he said him and Glover were a package deal. Not only because of their writing, they had only 1 pair of good pants between them.
I can assure you the crowd is not bored. This was a recording for a TV show, and the audience was requested to keep quiet and not interfere with the recording. This happened a lot in the late 60s and early 70s in England so as to achieve the very best sonic results. Also, it's quite possible those people had never been subjected to this kind of FIRE back in 1970, so they were shocked into a comatose state. Who knows, right? 😅
Other 'Deep Purple' tracks to react to, Stacey, are: "Hush", "Black Night", "Perfect Strangers", "Smoke On The Water", "Highway Star". There are many, many, more but these are good ones to continue with.
I think it's because he normally wasn't super flashy... but man could he add the perfect texture to a song like this, when you listen to the tasteful fills and transitions he puts behind the rest of the music, just an amazing sense for how it should sound
This was a live TV performance from my local TV station Granada TV here in the NW of England, from a series called "Doing Their Thing". Yes everyone always zones in on the audience, but you have to remember technology back then wasn't as sophisticated as it is today, there's a brief shot of one of the cameras, and it's huge, no wonder Ian Gillan reacted as he did when it was shoved up his nose, so the studio audience would have been under strict instruction to sit like church mice, so as not to detract from the performance. I seem to remember that this was broadcast live as well, though I could be wrong, making it doubly important to cut out any extraneous noise. As you say, the musicianship is off the scale, Ian Paice, the drummer is very underrated compared to his peers like John Bonham, ditto Nick Mason from Pink Floyd, but both are very influential within drumming circles. You'll probably come across Ritchie Blackmore, the guitarist, further into your journey. He left this band to form "Rainbow" who, no doubt, you'll be reacting to at some stage. Just for completeness, the late Jon Lord, RIP, is the keyboard player and Roger Glover is on bass. They had many personnel changes over the years, but this is generally thought of as the definitive lineup.
There's a fansite with details of the series. TV Pop Diaries it's called. VTR machines were in use quite widely in the black and white days. Their replacement was part of the cost of switching to colour. Corrie (also Granada of course) was taped and edited, although for this show, recorded as live was probably the normal procedure. The surprise is that this has survived at all. Almost certainly a fan in the VTR department secreted it away, the norm was for tape to be reused. The EMI 2001 colour cameras were actually smaller than some of the B&W cameras, the pedestals they ran on were the same. As for the audience, Ready Steady Go and TOTP had cameras in the audience; but this local show would not have had the budget to pay four or five stage crew per camera to handle the cable and guide the cameraman. There's also every chance the kids had no idea who would be on; they are all dressed up, and quite young, and Deep Purple were a fairly obscure college band compared with the big names.
The guitarist went on to form Rainbow. Their Stargazer with Ronnie James Dio on vocals, who would later take over for Ozzy in Sabbath, is crazy good....
TV was a big thing that time. Radio and tv were the only mass media, where you actually could have music for free. And being in tv, as part of the audience, was also a big thing. The producers of the programs told the audience before, that they should stay quiet before the end of the song to not interfere with the audio recording.Technically very different time, and as you can see, the audience is very diverse, different generations from children onwards, normal people. They actually were impressed by the situation, the music, that was very far from mainstream (hard rock was new and heavy metal was not even born), the audience was respecting what they thought was the right thing to do - listen to the music, take the situation in, looking good and appropriate for the cameras. And there were no "music videos" - at all. Just TV recordings and some film recordings. And European broadcast had the best of the best in audio and tv production, because it was financed by public money. Incredible financial ressource, up to today. Many of the best live recordings ever and specifically at this time have been recorded by British, German, Danish and French tv. As you see, the audio still holds up very well until today. You might come across endless "Rockpalast" (German tv show) videos of all times, single songs and whole concerts, that are incredibly well produced. Well, I guess you already had some Wacken videos on your channel, right? Production value of many European tv programs is very high. At that time, this was still a brand new thing. Color tv. It just became affordable for families to have one, that time. Yeah. So, I hope this explains the situation a bit. 🙂 People were not uninterested, they were overwhelmed in the situation. Best regards, and have a great weekend, Stacey.
Deep Purple was recognized by The Guinness Book of World Records as the "globe's loudest band" for a concert at the London Rainbow Theatre, during which the sound reached 117 dB and three members in the audience fell unconscious. I hope you will continue your journey of Deep Purple. They have a huge discography to dive into. I’d suggest “Highway Star” and “Smoke on the Water” live in Japan.
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Motörhead just started when Deep Purple was listed as the loudest band. Pretty sure Motörhead managed to crank up the volume years after, but they have not been listed as the loudest as far as I could find.
@@rubentullenaar2934 I saw them both, within a year. But I can not tell, despite my experience with both, cause I saw DP at an open air and Lemmy in a hall. But they were darn loud...
@@rubentullenaar2934 Well... Lemmy, was OT for sure in '86 and for DP... I saw them in the summer before. They were back in their second and prob. best configuration. But they were still 12 years older, but not ol' men...
Thanks Sweetpea❤ Deep Purple is one of the pillars of Rock/Metal with a stellar lineup. When you decide it's time, your next reaction to Deep Purple simply must be either HIGHWAY STAR or SPACE TRUCKING. Both tracks are from their seminal Rock recording MACHINE HEAD. Some of the greatest demonstrations of guitar wizardry ever to be captured on vinyl. BTW... thank you for updating your introductory bio and dropping "washed up". I didn't think you would notice my comment and certainly didn't think you could be more endearing. I was wrong on both counts.😁❤️
What you need to know is that at that time, and on this track, the band was playing without having any sound monitor, or earphones, they were playing live
Their most iconic guitar riff you can find in their song Smoke on the Water. In 1975 guitar player Ritchie Blackmore leaf DP and founded Rainbow, a band with a lot of top musicians. Listen to their song Stargazer.
Dear Lady Deep Purple shaped my life. I am a 64 german so when I was a kid I was dancing on public streets here in germany with my friends. It was nothing but great 😁😁😊😊😃😃
I am a 60 year old American who spent 3 years in Bad Kreuznach when I was a very young kid (5-7 yrs old). My older sister went to some big festival on an island in a river (the Rhine, I presume) in either '70 or '71 and saw these dudes and a couple of other contemporaries.
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. I really enjoyed watching your reaction. I’m glad you loved it. You hit the nail on the head. All of the band members are incredible and you can really hear their masterpieces
Deep Purple is an exceptional group with elite musicians. Worth a deep dive into this group and groups that spun off these members. One of those being my favorite bands called Rainbow that was formed by the guitarist Ritchie Blackmore after he left Purple. Rainbow was fronted with vocals from Ronnie James Dio, another fantastic vocalist. The song "Stargazer" is a must, but also their live shows, (Live 1977 Munich concert, songs to check out is "Mistreated" (vocally one of the very best) and "Catch the Rainbow".
Ian had a musical theatre background, and Purple are still active touring. They're set to release the special anniversary edition of Machine Head, a HOF album in their catalogue that is worth checking out.
Today's generation are so used to lip syncing, autotune and no instruments that a one shot, live performance on a TV show by real musicians is alien to them.
Hey don't be tarring us all with the same brush!!! Then again I'm lucky enough to have been brought up with this era of music since I appeared on this earth June 2003 and developed quite an eclectic taste as a result! Black sabbath, Iron Maiden, Deep purple, (of course haha) Rush, ACDC, Dire Straits and The Rolling Stones to name a few out of several brilliant artists 👌🏻
@@redguern I thank you good sir and despite what you might think there are more of us out there that appreciate what goes into making these awesome productions!! Truly phenomenal stuff and hopefully something I can pass on to my children someday 🤘🏼
Deep Purple has a fairly large list of hits. Lazy, Highway star, Woman from Tokyo, Perfect Stranger, smoke on the water, Burn, Soldier of Fortune, Space trucking, Hush to name a few. Ian has always been one of my favorite vocalists. You might check out the Rock opera "Jesus Christ Super Star" by Andrew Lloyd Webber, where Ian sang the part of Jesus. It would make a great Easter show for you, and almost no one else has reacted to it ( Ive seen one). There is a video clip of Ian performing "Jesus Christ Superstar - Gethsemane".
I love watching you and your beautiful face feeling and reacting to the music 🎶. I can tell that the music 🎶 touches your warm soul and sometimes you get very emotional from what the song sings to your heart ❤️. Deep Purple was a great band of the times 60's and 70's, and I got to see them several times. This was the era of great music 🎵 and Classic Vinyl Rock. Listen to their live Album .
The thing I love about this video is how pitch perfect Ian Gillan is especially with no modern monitors or ear monitors like modern performers have. The crowd were probably in shock as at the time this would have been one of the heaviest things they would have ever heard let alone probably didn't even know about Deep Purple 💜💜💜 these guys are absolute legends of the rock world.
Might I suggest you watch and react to Greg Lake, from Emerson, Lake and Palmer singing “From the Beginning.” It’s a beautiful song and will surely touch your soul.
This is going to be fire!!!! Oh yeah...the crowd. Everyone says they were told to be quiet for recording purposes. Ok, that's one part. But the lady in blue explains what's really going on. This was a social experiment, in that, they were told they were gonna see a new Christian pop band but what they got was one of the greatest rock performances of all time, by some of the greatest musicians of all time! The lady in blue summarized the experiment perfectly.
The vocalist Ian Gillan was also the original Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar (rock opera). One of the best vocalist in rock at that time. (and all time IMO)
Odnoszą się do tego utworu, "Dziecko w czasie", każdy chłopak, no prawie każdy, z mojego pokolenia tego słuchał. Wokal Gillan'a, chyba miał 3 oktawy, intro Lorda na organach Hammonda...wszystko współbrzmiało znakomicie.to były złote czasy hard rocka, rocka ,końcówka lat lat 60-tych i pierwsza połowa lat siedemdziesiątych...tyle wspaniałych głosów, moich ulubionych gitarzystów, innych instrumentalistów.... Młodzi ludzie, to kopalnia wzruszeń muzycznych, dla mojego pokolenia to słodkie lata dojrzewania 🥲...część wykonawców i odbiorców już odeszła...reszta odchodzi, jeden po drugim...
Some of us were so fortunate to have live in this golden era of rock music. The lyrics reflect the mature and cultured mentality during those time while the music penetrate your soul so deep that you it makes you wonder if all this is real or just a wonderful dream
found this tonight based on this comment. Burn is in my top 3 DP songs and my that tour was my first concert. but the Cali Jam version has always struck me as sloppy. So there's a couple of posts recommending that version but to me this one is much better ruclips.net/video/ydlrfKbExcs/видео.htmlsi=l6k6BPB4qFxuUv_k
they are still touring, will see them in october here in germany. what a band, right? thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of the "old stuff". "burn and "highway star" also are absolute gems from them.
Dear Stacy just for perspective Ian Gillan is the one that sung the Musical Jesus christ superstar lead on the Concept album before it became a Musical, he was Andrew Lloyd webber's first choise. unfortunatly he couldn't do the musical due to conflict with Deep Purple concerts :) i had the honor to hear him sing in 1992 and it was a religious experience, all the love from Greece, Stay healthy and safe ps. This lineup is golden, all of them are masters of their respective instruments. If i may suggest i think you will love Kasey Chambers cover of Loose your self the cover she made of the goat Eminem song, its just amazing there are no words :)
Deep Purple is one of my favorite bands Their album Machine Head, Remastered is their best work. Every song is great. Start with Highway Star then do Lazy. Be sure to catch "When A Blind Man Cries" for killer vocals.
So happy happy happy you are doing this. There's a saying that started 50 years ago, "Rock and Roll Will Never Die". There is hope it will continue and pass on to future generations.
This was the iconic 'Mark II' line-up of Deep Purple (They came after the original 'Mark I' line-up from 1968/ '69) that made music history from 1969 to 1973... The line-up reunited in 1984 to 1989 and then one last time in 1993... The members were: Ian Gillan (vocals), Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Jon Lord (organ/ keyboards), Roger Glover (bass) and Ian Paice (drums) Deep Purple came together as professional musicians in 1968 in London... that was why they were so tight live. This line-up had been together only a few months before this performance was filmed in 1970, even though Deep Purple had been a band since 1968. Deep Purple was incredible unpredictable live in concert and even though this TV performance was quiet, Deep Purple's concerts in the 70's tended to get quite chaotic w/ venues getting their seats destroyed by their fans... 😈 When Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) left to form his band Rainbow in 1975, they had a similar reputation from 1976 to 1978 when Ronnie James Dio was the singer - venues would get damage from Rainbow concerts.
Deep Purple is considered as the first metal band. This is mid 1960s. It's a protest song against the Vietnam War. This is music history. As a vocalist who is now 78 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. Ah...the good old days when there were REAL musicians...glad I've lived them.
As the other guy said, but I'll put it in English: Gillan has repeatedly said it was about the Cold War. They were a British band and the (alleged) threat to them was from the Soviet Union, not the Vietnamese. In Gillan's own words: "... we were all aware of the nuclear threat which hovered over us at this time which was probably when the ‘cold war’ was at its hottest ... So, we created this song using the Cold War as the theme, and wrote the lines ‘Sweet child in time, you’ll see the line.’ That’s how the lyrical side came in."
@@psbarrow Just some trivia. Not a threat, but technically Britain was in Vietnam earlier and handed it back to the French, before the French themselves got booted out. All before America stepped in. Some Brits were embedded in the Australian Army which answered the call for help from the U.S.
The crowd was requested to not move and be silent for a near studio live recording. The restraint and respect by the crowd despite the Awe inspiring performance shows their dedication.
As one the biggest Deep Purple fans ever. I have to ask a question. Are those Emet & G'raha Tia from FFXIV in the background? My favorite story in all of gaming. Shadowbringers & Endwalker is something beyond... When two worlds meet. Deep Purple & FFXIV. lol BTW. this incredible song is actually kinda tragic. It's about the horrors of war.
You say you're not a musician Stacey, but this was an excellent reaction. You told it as you saw it, and you you youself acknowledged how skilled each member was at their craft. And this is why bands of this era became icons. I don't know if rock is your prefered genre of music, but I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and look forward to seeing more of your videos. Plus you'd look great on the back of my bike! 😉
Lloyd Webber held back the recording of the Jesus Christ Superstar album because he wanted Ian Gillan. Gillan did the whole album in one afternoon virtually in one take. Lloyd Webber wanted him for the stage production and the film but couldn't afford to compensate the rest of the band for lost earnings while Gillan was doing it. Hence he went back on tour with DP. Pavarotti called Gillan a genius and the best all round singer in the world.
You perfectly captured Deep Purple's essence. They are all exceptional instrumentalists. For having seen them live I can tell you music is what really matters to them. No big sound effects, no impressive light shows. Only the musicians and their compositions. It leaves you astonished and breathless. They're still playing (I'm gonna see them once more in October) and I strongly recommend you attending one of their shows.
Deep Purple were at this stage of their existence, the whole package, each one a virtuoso in his own right, but combining in an amazing way to produce an amazing sound. They were well versed in classical music, and included much that had classical influence. Great Reaction.
Some popular suggestions... Smoke on the Water....Hiway Star...Space Trucking...Burn (haven't seen a good live version)...Loving ur Heart reactions, I'm betting the rest of ur Deep Purple reactions will be comparable...Thanks...
The music from the sixties and seventies is a literary a time capsule. Unbelievable how the young have opened that capsule and just can’t believe how there was such a wide range great music from that era
Stacey - can’t begin to tell you how much your reaction means to me. I was a mere teen when this band came on the scene with massive radio airplay. Here we are over 50 years later and you just fell into the deep end with this DP masterpiece. Simply amazing! ✌️❤️
It is kind of sad to me that music has fallen so far. It will never reach the plateau that it was on from the lat 60s to the late 80s. There are a few real musicians now but not many.
Ian Paice is one of my favorite drummers (left handed). Ian Gillan (vocals), I believe, was on stage as Joseph, in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, so I guess he had amazing talent before joining Deep Purple in this the classic Mk II lineup. Other lineups followed, but this is the classic one that probably gave rise to the majority of the classics
Here we go..my youth coming back to life! I certainly remember my first time of listening to Deep Purple back in the day in my north german village where I grew up in. They had been introduced to me by a friend playing the Vinyl record on his record player. I was amazed and dazzled. What sound. What creativity. One awesome band and I didn't know what to like more, them or Led Zeppelin..I guess I liked them both the same. Thanks for reacting to them and it's really great to see that even young people nowadays discover these great timeless pieces of art. Keep it up!
5:54 because back in the day we are use to this high level music and there was a lot of it. Now people listen CardyB , Taylor and Megan Stallion , so when you finally understand what the REAL MUSIC and talent is , they are mind blowing
It was a live tv performance Stacey. The audience was actually told to stay quiet so it wouldn't affect the audio output.

The musicians in Deep Purple were probably the best of the UK’s heavy rock generation. John Lord on keyboards, Ian Paice on drums, Richie Blackmore on lead guitar, Roger Glover on bass & Ian Gillian with the vocals.
All exceptional on their instruments, and they knew how to play together well besides.

You're absolutely right.
It is so great to have lived when Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, etc were in their prime.
Im 42, but 60-70's music is my thing, blues my backbone, all those bands are great; Purple, Zeppelin and Who most of them. I love sabbath also, but never been big fan of Stones or Beatles.
I am 26 and I agree, that would be the best era to live in
Don't put Stones together with these geniuses
@@Mr.Curiosity89 Loved the Stones early stuff and Brian Jones was a genius but after his time, I'm inclined to agree with you.
Take the Stones out.
Deep Purple was the greatest collection of talent in rock. All amazing musicians and vocalist.
Ian Gillan (The hairy scream) absolutely one of the greatest singers in rock history, and this line up, MK2 line up of Deep Purple, definitely one of the greatest rock bands 👌
I totally agree that Ian Gillian is one the greatest rock singers of all time. I grew up with Deep Purple and tried to emulate him. I failed! 😊
Gillan, Plant, Halford are the holy trinity for me.😊
Small world... I tried to emulate Ritchie Blackmore and failed
My first live concert was Deep Purple at Hammersmith Odeon in 1974. It is so nice to see new generations discover music that I grew up with. This is recognized as their best lineup. Ian Gillan on vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord on organ, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums.
Was there too. Amazing…
Ian Pace is the drummer, one of the underrated great ones from the 70's
Ian is anything but underrated
Only here in North America he is underrated and for the most part unknown, thanks to the American music press... outside of North America he is on the same level as Bonham
@ponytrekker8996 No offence to Bonham, but he can't hold a candle to the skill of Ian Paice.
You're right though. Zeppelin had a great publicist, which is why they're much better known.
@@matt01506 There are some really great bands with several albums each during the early to mid 70's. Trapeze comes to mind, Wishbone Ash, are a couple I enjoyed, but many folks have never heard of!!!
Why does someone always have bring up the word ‘underrated ‘.
Great reaction, Stacey! This was an amazing time in rock and rock. Very nice to see the younger generation enjoy it as i did.
I'm 65 and they are my all time favorite band growing up
A excellent choice for a 1st time reaction.
Welcome to the Deep Purple rabbit hole. They had so many hits and so much good music. They were groundbreaking, and like you say all four of them were fantastic, and they just fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
An extreme example of all of those elements and I promise will blow you away, is their hit Highway Star from their iconic Machine Head album.
Also the Made In Japan official video for it .
5, there are 5 in the band.
All 5 of them.
Stacy
Answering your question here, reason for the audience being silent during this song is that Deep Purple were invited guests for live televised show. People, who oversee the show informed audience to be quiet during the show. But their live concerts are awesome when they do their tours, fans go wild.
Yes indeed, saw them 6 times, 4 with Ritchie in the 70s, and we were standing for almost the entire show, every time, they did not let up!
Deep Purple was way ahead of its time at that particular moment. You really can't blame the audience! :)
I've heard that UK audiences were known to be sullen, anyway.
@@johnstorton You heard wrong.
Deep Purple are all amazing musicians. Ian Gillan on vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord (rip) on keyboards, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums.
Deep Purple was originally formed in 1968 as a British pop rock band after the dissolution of the previous band Roundabout... All the members were professional musicians and the first line-up (Mark I) was: Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), John Lord (organ/ keyboards), Ian Paice (drums), Nick Simper (bass) and Rod Evans (vocals)... They released 3 albums and had some success in America w/ hit cover songs like - 'Hush' ... 'Kentucky woman' ... 'Lalena'.
The band wanted to change musical direction in late 1969, so Evans and Simper were fired and the iconic Deep Purple (Mark II) line-up was born w/ Ian Gillan (vocals) and Roger Glover (bass) joining from the band Episode 6... w/ Blackmore (guitar), Lord (keyboards) and Paice (drums)... They were the first rock band in '69 to record a 'Concerto' album w/ a classical orchestra... but after hearing the music of Led Zeppelin... Jimi Hendrix... guitarist Ritchie Blackmore suggested that they go for a 'heavy rock' sound in 1970.
Deep Purple released their first 'heavy' single 'Black night' in 1970 followed by the album 'In Rock'... they became a hit in the UK, but America still knew them as the hitmakers that played 'Hush'... Deep Purple built a reputation as an unpredictable and exciting live band on tour as they released the albums 'Fireball' (1971) and 'Machine Head' (1972)... but it was the '72 live album 'Made in Japan' that broke Deep Purple huge worldwide and is regarded as one of the greatest live records (The band said the tapes were recorded on their Japan tour and had no overdubs - only some minor audio cleanups)
However, the tensions between singer Ian Gillan and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was becoming intolerable by 1973 after the album 'Who do we think we are' ... Ian Gillan quit Deep Purple in '73... Ritchie Blackmore agreed to stay only if bassist Roger Glover was out of Deep Purple (Ironically, Blackmore hired Roger Glover in 1979 as the bassist/ producer for his band Rainbow)
In 1974, Deep Purple launched their new line-up (Mark III) w/ Glenn Hughes (bass + vocals) and David Coverdale (vocals) joining Blackmore (guitar), Lord (keyboards) and Paice (drums)... They released the 'Burn' album and became even more successful than the previous line-up selling out arenas and stadiums by that point... But this time, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was frustrated by the sound of the band... After another successful album 'Stormbringer' in '74... Ritchie Blackmore quit Deep Purple in 1975 to form his own band Rainbow.
Tommy Bolin (guitar) was an American guitarist who joined Purple (Mark IV) in '75 for the album 'Come taste the band'... but fans were not interested in a Deep Purple without Ritchie Blackmore... After a difficult tour marred by drug abuse and death, Deep Purple broke up in 1976.
Guitarist Tommy Bolin died in late 1976 from an apparent OD.
David Coverdale would find success w/ his band Whitesnake in the 80's... Glenn Hughes struggled w/ addiction for years, but recovered and has been actively recording and touring as a solo artist and has a successful project Black Country Communion.
Former members of Deep Purple stayed active in various bands after the band ended in '76... but the Mark II line-up of Deep Purple finally reunited in 1984 (Gillan/ Blackmore/ Lord/ Glover/ Paice) for the album 'Perfect strangers'... and launched a comeback tour. However, conflicts re-emerged between Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore after the 1987 album 'House of Blue Light'... Ian Gillan was fired in 1989 and Deep Purple released 1 album 'Slaves and Masters' in 1990 w/ former Rainbow singer Joe Lynn Turner.
For their 25th anniversary in 1993, the other members of Deep Purple wanted Ian Gillan back on vocals... Ritchie Blackmore was not happy w/ the decision or the next album 'The Battle rages on' in '93... Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore quit Deep Purple for the final time that year.
After a tour w/ guitarist Joe Satriani... Deep Purple hired former Kansas member Steve Morse (guitar) in 1994 and ushered their most stable era, recording the albums 'Purpendicular' (1996) and 'Abandon' (1998) and actively touring and rebuilding their career.
Keyboardist Jon Lord amicably left Deep Purple in 2002 to focus of classical music projects... Jon Lord passed away in 2012 from cancer.
Former Rainbow member Don Airey (keyboards/ organ) joined Deep Purple in 2003... the band released the albums 'Bananas' (2003) and 'Rapture of the deep' (2005) ... and remained a successful touring band. After Jon Lord passed away, Deep Purple released the album 'Now what?!' in 2013 followed by 'Infinite' (2017) and saw record sales rise once again.
Deep Purple planned to close out their legendary career and finished yet another album 'Whoosh' in 2020 and a covers album 'Turning to crime' in 2022... Longtime guitarist Steve Morse announced that he was leaving Deep Purple and was replaced by Simon McBride (guitar) as the band returned to touring and r reportedly planning another record.
Deep Purple Made In Japan 1973, a double live album, considered by many to be one of the best live albums ever recorded! This song & several songs from the Machine Head studio album, are on Made In Japan!
I still have my original vinyl album. Such an important part of rock music history!
@@RobinC63Ditto. In fact it was my first-ever album and my intro to heavy rock. An upgrade from glam rock.😊
Best vocalist..best guitarist.. best drummer..best keyboard..best bassist..of the 70’s ..only my opinion
When Ian Gillian(vocalist) hits the first high note. The look on your face was great!😊. I love these guys. Seen them 4 times. Ian Gillian remains one of my favorite singers. Thx Stacey!
Needs to listen to him do Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar
This band had so many great songs. Their biggest song was Smoke On The Water, which was based on their actual experiences. Also: Lazy, Highway Star, Space Truckin, Hush, and many more.
Wow! This shows the wise man! I'm surprised, that someone knows "Hush"...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 It's only because I'm almost 65 years old and the radio was actually great in the 60's and 70's.
@@michaeldezego340 You're only a few years older... I know, what you're talkin' about...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Hush is a fantastic song !
@@marceldupont5582 Yep! I never doubt that. I've the record and it sounds sooo 60's...
Deep Purple was once the loudest band in the world, and one of the best rock and roll groups of course. You need to hear their lessor known songs, which really show their musicianship!!! Like "Fools", "Rat Bat Blue", and more.
Every single one of them are on the very top of their game . This one of the best performances in music history
This is one of the all timer live recordings. Vocalist Ian Gillan, who also played the part of Jesus in the original Jesus Christ Superstar album, drummer Ian Paice, organist John Lord, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and bassist Roger Glover, they were all amazing on this.
Also, no effects, no autotunes. Just pure musicianship.
One of the best performances ever.
Can’t do Deep Purple without doing Highway Star and Perfect Strangers!
Also space trucking is a good one
And a 100 other songs!🤣🤣😂😂👍👍@@kurtschmidt9760
Absolutely
Lazy
made in japan was thier great live recorded album ,deep purple was a very unique band combing a lot of musiuc elements with a hard rock dear st acy you just now startedb with dp you must go to tier big hits smoke on bthe water ,highway star ,lazy,spoce truckin , spead king ,hush,and endless more , keep on doing dp but concenterate on thier live preformances .love your reacation ,you are great emoyional reactorist even though you are lack of muysic background , many thanks and keep on joseph from israel (deep purple's fan since the 70th)
Fun fact, the Singer Ian Gillan was the original Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar."
He wasn't in the theatre production, but sang the role of Jesus in the original Andrew Lloyd Webber album version of the rock opera. But yeah, dude's amazing
The result was wonderful. I heard half of the first side of the first LP. I bought the original Broadway recording of J.C. Superstar (yes in vinyl) on the way home.
I was in 10th grade. It was played for us in a literature class that was taught by an genuine hippy out of southern Calf.
He didn't last a year as the way to conservative school board jumped at the first complaint and got rid of him.
He taught the class to think about what they were reading and listening to. If all you did was memorize fact then you didn't do well on the exams. A few "Strait A Students" did not do well. I think the complaints came from their parents.
And that recording with him as Jesus is the best.
@@FTamer-bk8jw your comment reminds me of the movie Dead Poets Society.
@@RobinC63 I agree
I saw them do this live way back when. Hearing Ian’s singing echoing through the arena on this song was something you just had to experience! 🙆 You are right, they were ALL super talented each in their own way! You will enjoy hearing more! They have lots of amazing songs!
Ian Paice (drums) Ritchie Blackmore (guitars) Jon Lord (keyboards) are original members, Shades of Deep Purple was their debut album and it has some great tunes (it was one of the first two albums I bought as a teen). But when they added Ian Gillan (vocals) and Roger Glover (bass), that's when they just exploded.
Another great reaction. We were so lucky to have this talent in the UK at that time. Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, ELP, Cream and many more.
Another great choice to react to! They are one of the greatest. And they had a few personnel changes over the years. Even TODAY former member Glenn Hughes bass and vocals tours playing Deep Purple music 50 years after he joined the band. Rock On Stacey!
Four dudes on fire. Crowd told to stay quiet because it was being recorded. You see this a lot in this era - in part due to limitations of recording techniques, also in general UK audiences (in particular) were much more reserved at this time - particularly in sit down concerts - and finally this was a TV studio audience so not necessarily die-hard rock fans. People would buy tickets just to be on TV.
Five dudes 😄
@@FaceEatingOwlRB is a super-dude.
@@Llanchlo 😄 That he is🤘
This audience was a Danish TV audience.
I never danced to Deep Purple cause I was always too stoned. Not one of my favorite bands though I did in fact owned their first album.
i went to concerts back in the 70s, and you were told to stay in your seats. And as this is a televised performance it would have been even more strict. I went to see Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Genesis back when these groups were just starting out, it was amazing. Glad you liked this performance.
The guitarist Ritchie Blackmore wasn't happy with the direction they were going and wanted a change, and a frontman like Jim Morrison of the Doors. When they found Gillan, he said him and Glover were a package deal. Not only because of their writing, they had only 1 pair of good pants between them.
I can assure you the crowd is not bored. This was a recording for a TV show, and the audience was requested to keep quiet and not interfere with the recording. This happened a lot in the late 60s and early 70s in England so as to achieve the very best sonic results. Also, it's quite possible those people had never been subjected to this kind of FIRE back in 1970, so they were shocked into a comatose state. Who knows, right? 😅
the crowd is bored that they can't scream together
Other 'Deep Purple' tracks to react to, Stacey, are:
"Hush",
"Black Night",
"Perfect Strangers",
"Smoke On The Water",
"Highway Star".
There are many, many, more but these are good ones to continue with.
Check out the history of "Smoke on the Water" before listening.
@@JerryCollins101 Yes, an excellent point.
You forgot "Lazy" !
@@krasht1best of them all. 👍
One of the best 70`s songs ever:)
I agree with you and would like to politely disagree with you. One of the best songs of all time xD
"This drummer is insane!"
Absolutely! Paicey doesn't get nearly enough attention for just how influential and creative of a powerhouse he is.
Listen to Paice on burn - freakin insane.
I think it's because he normally wasn't super flashy... but man could he add the perfect texture to a song like this, when you listen to the tasteful fills and transitions he puts behind the rest of the music, just an amazing sense for how it should sound
This was a live TV performance from my local TV station Granada TV here in the NW of England, from a series called "Doing Their Thing". Yes everyone always zones in on the audience, but you have to remember technology back then wasn't as sophisticated as it is today, there's a brief shot of one of the cameras, and it's huge, no wonder Ian Gillan reacted as he did when it was shoved up his nose, so the studio audience would have been under strict instruction to sit like church mice, so as not to detract from the performance. I seem to remember that this was broadcast live as well, though I could be wrong, making it doubly important to cut out any extraneous noise. As you say, the musicianship is off the scale, Ian Paice, the drummer is very underrated compared to his peers like John Bonham, ditto Nick Mason from Pink Floyd, but both are very influential within drumming circles. You'll probably come across Ritchie Blackmore, the guitarist, further into your journey. He left this band to form "Rainbow" who, no doubt, you'll be reacting to at some stage. Just for completeness, the late Jon Lord, RIP, is the keyboard player and Roger Glover is on bass. They had many personnel changes over the years, but this is generally thought of as the definitive lineup.
I wonder if the room where their performed still stands:)
There's a fansite with details of the series. TV Pop Diaries it's called.
VTR machines were in use quite widely in the black and white days. Their replacement was part of the cost of switching to colour. Corrie (also Granada of course) was taped and edited, although for this show, recorded as live was probably the normal procedure. The surprise is that this has survived at all. Almost certainly a fan in the VTR department secreted it away, the norm was for tape to be reused.
The EMI 2001 colour cameras were actually smaller than some of the B&W cameras, the pedestals they ran on were the same. As for the audience, Ready Steady Go and TOTP had cameras in the audience; but this local show would not have had the budget to pay four or five stage crew per camera to handle the cable and guide the cameraman. There's also every chance the kids had no idea who would be on; they are all dressed up, and quite young, and Deep Purple were a fairly obscure college band compared with the big names.
The guitarist went on to form Rainbow. Their Stargazer with Ronnie James Dio on vocals, who would later take over for Ozzy in Sabbath, is crazy good....
Dio's best with Stargazer and Heaven and Hell. She would love those tunes!
I'm jumping on this train. She has to do Stargazer!
Then do the sequel, A Light in the Black. Awesome.
TV was a big thing that time. Radio and tv were the only mass media, where you actually could have music for free. And being in tv, as part of the audience, was also a big thing. The producers of the programs told the audience before, that they should stay quiet before the end of the song to not interfere with the audio recording.Technically very different time, and as you can see, the audience is very diverse, different generations from children onwards, normal people. They actually were impressed by the situation, the music, that was very far from mainstream (hard rock was new and heavy metal was not even born), the audience was respecting what they thought was the right thing to do - listen to the music, take the situation in, looking good and appropriate for the cameras.
And there were no "music videos" - at all. Just TV recordings and some film recordings. And European broadcast had the best of the best in audio and tv production, because it was financed by public money. Incredible financial ressource, up to today.
Many of the best live recordings ever and specifically at this time have been recorded by British, German, Danish and French tv. As you see, the audio still holds up very well until today. You might come across endless "Rockpalast" (German tv show) videos of all times, single songs and whole concerts, that are incredibly well produced. Well, I guess you already had some Wacken videos on your channel, right? Production value of many European tv programs is very high.
At that time, this was still a brand new thing. Color tv. It just became affordable for families to have one, that time.
Yeah. So, I hope this explains the situation a bit. 🙂
People were not uninterested, they were overwhelmed in the situation.
Best regards, and have a great weekend, Stacey.
Deep Purple was recognized by The Guinness Book of World Records as the "globe's loudest band" for a concert at the London Rainbow Theatre, during which the sound reached 117 dB and three members in the audience fell unconscious. I hope you will continue your journey of Deep Purple. They have a huge discography to dive into. I’d suggest “Highway Star” and “Smoke on the Water” live in Japan.
Really? Louder than Lemmy...?
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Motörhead just started when Deep Purple was listed as the loudest band. Pretty sure Motörhead managed to crank up the volume years after, but they have not been listed as the loudest as far as I could find.
@@rubentullenaar2934 I saw them both, within a year. But I can not tell, despite my experience with both, cause I saw DP at an open air and Lemmy in a hall. But they were darn loud...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844You are blessed to have experianced both. I wish I could have seen them at their hight.
@@rubentullenaar2934 Well... Lemmy, was OT for sure in '86 and for DP... I saw them in the summer before. They were back in their second and prob. best configuration. But they were still 12 years older, but not ol' men...
It was a great era,when I was young,all three bands had great musicians and singers 🎶🎶🎶🤘
I was lucky enough to see the original lineup in concert twice
Me too and mark 3 😁
Me to😊
@yvonfem Let's face it, we are very lucky. They don't make bands like Deep Purple often. rock on 🤘
@@Fuxerz Sadly they don't
This was not the original lineup, but the second one. Just so we're clear.
Thanks Sweetpea❤
Deep Purple is one of the pillars of Rock/Metal with a stellar lineup.
When you decide it's time, your next reaction to Deep Purple simply must be either HIGHWAY STAR or SPACE TRUCKING. Both tracks are from their seminal Rock recording MACHINE HEAD. Some of the greatest demonstrations of guitar wizardry ever to be captured on vinyl.
BTW... thank you for updating your introductory bio and dropping "washed up". I didn't think you would notice my comment and certainly didn't think you could be more endearing.
I was wrong on both counts.😁❤️
The goose bumps, heart skipping a beat and breath taking all describes how I felt when I first saw you.
What you need to know is that at that time, and on this track, the band was playing without having any sound monitor, or earphones, they were playing live
Heh.. When you commented on how velvety the lead singers voice is, just before the changeup. All I could think was "buckle up, Sweetie" 😂
Indeed...Indeed...😀😀
Their most iconic guitar riff you can find in their song Smoke on the Water. In 1975 guitar player Ritchie Blackmore leaf DP and founded Rainbow, a band with a lot of top musicians. Listen to their song Stargazer.
And then the follow up/sequel A Light in the Black. Some of the best Cozy Powell (RIP) drumming.
Dear Lady
Deep Purple shaped my life. I am a 64 german so when I was a kid I was dancing on public streets here in germany with my friends. It was nothing but great 😁😁😊😊😃😃
I am a 64 year old American, and Deep Purple was part of my growing years also!!!!!👍👍💯💯
I am a 60 year old American who spent 3 years in Bad Kreuznach when I was a very young kid (5-7 yrs old). My older sister went to some big festival on an island in a river (the Rhine, I presume) in either '70 or '71 and saw these dudes and a couple of other contemporaries.
Po tym,jak daliście się uwieść austiackiemu akwareliście i co wyrządziliście mojemu krajowi,bardzo was,Niemcy,nie lubię.
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. I really enjoyed watching your reaction. I’m glad you loved it. You hit the nail on the head. All of the band members are incredible and you can really hear their masterpieces
Deep Purple is an exceptional group with elite musicians. Worth a deep dive into this group and groups that spun off these members. One of those being my favorite bands called Rainbow that was formed by the guitarist Ritchie Blackmore after he left Purple. Rainbow was fronted with vocals from Ronnie James Dio, another fantastic vocalist. The song "Stargazer" is a must, but also their live shows, (Live 1977 Munich concert, songs to check out is "Mistreated" (vocally one of the very best) and "Catch the Rainbow".
Ian had a musical theatre background, and Purple are still active touring. They're set to release the special anniversary edition of Machine Head, a HOF album in their catalogue that is worth checking out.
Today's generation are so used to lip syncing, autotune and no instruments that a one shot, live performance on a TV show by real musicians is alien to them.
Hey don't be tarring us all with the same brush!!!
Then again I'm lucky enough to have been brought up with this era of music since I appeared on this earth June 2003 and developed quite an eclectic taste as a result!
Black sabbath, Iron Maiden, Deep purple, (of course haha) Rush, ACDC, Dire Straits and The Rolling Stones to name a few out of several brilliant artists 👌🏻
@@benh1216 Nice one! In that case I shall remove you from that generalisation - keep enjoying your favourite music!
@@redguern I thank you good sir and despite what you might think there are more of us out there that appreciate what goes into making these awesome productions!!
Truly phenomenal stuff and hopefully something I can pass on to my children someday 🤘🏼
I'm 70 next year and one of my fave later bands is Psychedelic Porn Crumpets from Australia. Yes and Pink Floyd on steroids.
These guys should be on your radar for full album reactions. There's a lot of gold to be mined in those deep tracks!!
So many great Albums. My favourite ist "In Rock" and "Machine Head" with "Lazy"
Deep Purple has a fairly large list of hits. Lazy, Highway star, Woman from Tokyo, Perfect Stranger, smoke on the water, Burn, Soldier of Fortune, Space trucking, Hush to name a few.
Ian has always been one of my favorite vocalists. You might check out the Rock opera "Jesus Christ Super Star" by Andrew Lloyd Webber, where Ian sang the part of Jesus. It would make a great Easter show for you, and almost no one else has reacted to it ( Ive seen one). There is a video clip of Ian performing "Jesus Christ Superstar - Gethsemane".
I love watching you and your beautiful face feeling and reacting to the music 🎶. I can tell that the music 🎶 touches your warm soul and sometimes you get very emotional from what the song sings to your heart ❤️. Deep Purple was a great band of the times 60's and 70's, and I got to see them several times. This was the era of great music 🎵 and Classic Vinyl Rock. Listen to their live Album .
The thing I love about this video is how pitch perfect Ian Gillan is especially with no modern monitors or ear monitors like modern performers have.
The crowd were probably in shock as at the time this would have been one of the heaviest things they would have ever heard let alone probably didn't even know about Deep Purple 💜💜💜 these guys are absolute legends of the rock world.
Might I suggest you watch and react to Greg Lake, from Emerson, Lake and Palmer singing “From the Beginning.” It’s a beautiful song and will surely touch your soul.
This is going to be fire!!!!
Oh yeah...the crowd. Everyone says they were told to be quiet for recording purposes. Ok, that's one part. But the lady in blue explains what's really going on. This was a social experiment, in that, they were told they were gonna see a new Christian pop band but what they got was one of the greatest rock performances of all time, by some of the greatest musicians of all time! The lady in blue summarized the experiment perfectly.
The vocalist Ian Gillan was also the original Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar (rock opera). One of the best vocalist in rock at that time. (and all time IMO)
Odnoszą się do tego utworu, "Dziecko w czasie", każdy chłopak, no prawie każdy, z mojego pokolenia tego słuchał. Wokal Gillan'a, chyba miał 3 oktawy, intro Lorda na organach Hammonda...wszystko współbrzmiało znakomicie.to były złote czasy hard rocka, rocka ,końcówka lat lat 60-tych i pierwsza połowa lat siedemdziesiątych...tyle wspaniałych głosów, moich ulubionych gitarzystów, innych instrumentalistów.... Młodzi ludzie, to kopalnia wzruszeń muzycznych, dla mojego pokolenia to słodkie lata dojrzewania 🥲...część wykonawców i odbiorców już odeszła...reszta odchodzi, jeden po drugim...
Highway star live, made in japan!!!! You will LOVE IT!!!!!
Made in Japan, their best live concert. IMO
Some of us were so fortunate to have live in this golden era of rock music. The lyrics reflect the mature and cultured mentality during those time while the music penetrate your soul so deep that you it makes you wonder if all this is real or just a wonderful dream
The great voice of big Ian G, one of the best of the era. Velvety indeed!!
Check out "Burn" from the California Jam in 1974. It was the second incarnation of DP without Ian but with David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes on bass.
found this tonight based on this comment. Burn is in my top 3 DP songs and my that tour was my first concert. but the Cali Jam version has always struck me as sloppy. So there's a couple of posts recommending that version but to me this one is much better
ruclips.net/video/ydlrfKbExcs/видео.htmlsi=l6k6BPB4qFxuUv_k
Apparently they were told to be quiet by the producers as it was on Tv recording and they didnt want distractions
Interesting! Their facial expressions made it seem like they were forced to be there lol!
im glad you mentioned the drummer , Ian Paice is a phenomenal drummer, his ghost notes on the snare during the solos are just **chefs kiss**
Fantastic reaction Stacy. One of my favorite songs by deep purple. Keep them coming pretty lady.
they are still touring, will see them in october here in germany. what a band, right? thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of the "old stuff". "burn and "highway star" also are absolute gems from them.
Dear Stacy just for perspective Ian Gillan is the one that sung the Musical Jesus christ superstar lead on the Concept album before it became a Musical, he was Andrew Lloyd webber's first choise. unfortunatly he couldn't do the musical due to conflict with Deep Purple concerts :) i had the honor to hear him sing in 1992 and it was a religious experience, all the love from Greece, Stay healthy and safe ps. This lineup is golden, all of them are masters of their respective instruments. If i may suggest i think you will love Kasey Chambers cover of Loose your self the cover she made of the goat Eminem song, its just amazing there are no words :)
This song grabs you by the soul and takes you on an emotional journey. It’s absolutely amazing
Deep Purple is one of my favorite bands
Their album Machine Head, Remastered is their best work. Every song is great. Start with Highway Star then do Lazy. Be sure to catch "When A Blind Man Cries" for killer vocals.
So happy happy happy you are doing this. There's a saying that started 50 years ago, "Rock and Roll Will Never Die". There is hope it will continue and pass on to future generations.
Nice reaction :) . Deep Purple are legendary , you should check Perfect Strangers aldo, sound so typical for them
Greetings from Bulgaria :)
This was the iconic 'Mark II' line-up of Deep Purple (They came after the original 'Mark I' line-up from 1968/ '69) that made music history from 1969 to 1973... The line-up reunited in 1984 to 1989 and then one last time in 1993... The members were: Ian Gillan (vocals), Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Jon Lord (organ/ keyboards), Roger Glover (bass) and Ian Paice (drums)
Deep Purple came together as professional musicians in 1968 in London... that was why they were so tight live. This line-up had been together only a few months before this performance was filmed in 1970, even though Deep Purple had been a band since 1968.
Deep Purple was incredible unpredictable live in concert and even though this TV performance was quiet, Deep Purple's concerts in the 70's tended to get quite chaotic w/ venues getting their seats destroyed by their fans... 😈
When Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) left to form his band Rainbow in 1975, they had a similar reputation from 1976 to 1978 when Ronnie James Dio was the singer - venues would get damage from Rainbow concerts.
Deep Purple is considered as the first metal band. This is mid 1960s. It's a protest song against the Vietnam War.
This is music history. As a vocalist who is now 78 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.
Ah...the good old days when there were REAL musicians...glad I've lived them.
No sé refiere a Vietnam, se escribió por la guerra fría 😊
As the other guy said, but I'll put it in English: Gillan has repeatedly said it was about the Cold War. They were a British band and the (alleged) threat to them was from the Soviet Union, not the Vietnamese. In Gillan's own words: "... we were all aware of the nuclear threat which hovered over us at this time which was probably when the ‘cold war’ was at its hottest ... So, we created this song using the Cold War as the theme, and wrote the lines ‘Sweet child in time, you’ll see the line.’ That’s how the lyrical side came in."
@@psbarrow Just some trivia. Not a threat, but technically Britain was in Vietnam earlier and handed it back to the French, before the French themselves got booted out. All before America stepped in. Some Brits were embedded in the Australian Army which answered the call for help from the U.S.
not metal, but heavy metal. both are subgenres of rock music
@Frightspear If Ian is 66 (3 years younger than me), it means he recorded this when he was 12 years old.
The crowd was requested to not move and be silent for a near studio live recording. The restraint and respect by the crowd despite the Awe inspiring performance shows their dedication.
I love the Hush one. it has a fun vibe
Might be my favorite band since the 70's. I've seen them live several times. Thank you for your reaction! 💙
As one the biggest Deep Purple fans ever. I have to ask a question. Are those Emet & G'raha Tia from FFXIV in the background? My favorite story in all of gaming. Shadowbringers & Endwalker is something beyond... When two worlds meet. Deep Purple & FFXIV. lol BTW. this incredible song is actually kinda tragic. It's about the horrors of war.
You say you're not a musician Stacey, but this was an excellent reaction. You told it as you saw it, and you you youself acknowledged how skilled each member was at their craft. And this is why bands of this era became icons. I don't know if rock is your prefered genre of music, but I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and look forward to seeing more of your videos. Plus you'd look great on the back of my bike! 😉
Lloyd Webber held back the recording of the Jesus Christ Superstar album because he wanted Ian Gillan. Gillan did the whole album in one afternoon virtually in one take. Lloyd Webber wanted him for the stage production and the film but couldn't afford to compensate the rest of the band for lost earnings while Gillan was doing it. Hence he went back on tour with DP.
Pavarotti called Gillan a genius and the best all round singer in the world.
You perfectly captured Deep Purple's essence. They are all exceptional instrumentalists. For having seen them live I can tell you music is what really matters to them. No big sound effects, no impressive light shows. Only the musicians and their compositions. It leaves you astonished and breathless. They're still playing (I'm gonna see them once more in October) and I strongly recommend you attending one of their shows.
For your next Deep Purple song, try Highway Star, or Space Truckin'
Deep Purple were at this stage of their existence, the whole package, each one a virtuoso in his own right, but combining in an amazing way to produce an amazing sound. They were well versed in classical music, and included much that had classical influence. Great Reaction.
Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple the holy triad of rock music🤘
Pink Floyd
5 individual musicians, all at the top of their game.
Pure utter perfection.
The musicians of today can only dream to be this good.
Some popular suggestions... Smoke on the Water....Hiway Star...Space Trucking...Burn (haven't seen a good live version)...Loving ur Heart reactions, I'm betting the rest of ur Deep Purple reactions will be comparable...Thanks...
I think this is a good live version of Burn

Deep Purple has been my favorite for over 40 years . Next try Strange Kind Of Woman , live in 1972 , amazing ! Thank you for jammin .
This drummer is Ian Paice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The music from the sixties and seventies is a literary a time capsule. Unbelievable how the young have opened that capsule and just can’t believe how there was such a wide range great music from that era
Probably the most complete band ever
Stacey - can’t begin to tell you how much your reaction means to me. I was a mere teen when this band came on the scene with massive radio airplay. Here we are over 50 years later and you just fell into the deep end with this DP masterpiece. Simply amazing! ✌️❤️
Love the chemistry in the sound between the guitar and keyboard in this song, so good
It is kind of sad to me that music has fallen so far. It will never reach the plateau that it was on from the lat 60s to the late 80s. There are a few real musicians now but not many.
Ian Paice is one of my favorite drummers (left handed). Ian Gillan (vocals), I believe, was on stage as Joseph, in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, so I guess he had amazing talent before joining Deep Purple in this the classic Mk II lineup. Other lineups followed, but this is the classic one that probably gave rise to the majority of the classics
You should react to highway star and perfect stranger
I was 15 when I bought the In Rock Album in 1970. It blew my mind for sure. Legends at each position for sure.
A TV show !!!
Here we go..my youth coming back to life! I certainly remember my first time of listening to Deep Purple back in the day in my north german village where I grew up in. They had been introduced to me by a friend playing the Vinyl record on his record player. I was amazed and dazzled. What sound. What creativity. One awesome band and I didn't know what to like more, them or Led Zeppelin..I guess I liked them both the same. Thanks for reacting to them and it's really great to see that even young people nowadays discover these great timeless pieces of art. Keep it up!
