I saw this version of the band in Toronto in 1971. They were the hardest, most intense and talented rock band I have ever seen. And I saw most of them. They were absolutely awesome.
@@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER. It was a single story concrete building that used to house a farmer's market every Saturday. It was just a big open space. We sat on the floor about 30 feet away from Richie Blackmore. They did just knock it down a few years ago. Probably is condos, lol.
@@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER. if you are asking me it was the Ontario Motor Speedway in Ontario California. I've been able to see my version in videos on RUclips along with every other bands performance that day. A little rare earth to wake us with earth wind and fire, seals and croft, black oak arkansas, eagles, black sabbath, deep purple of course and closing with emerson lake and palmer. I know all that is useless information but fun to share. And I do know that the venue I saw them at is no longer there but I don't know what replaced it. It was a massive area.
@@pinball1970 I agree, "Deep Purple in Rock" best album all time to me. Live in Japan from DP is fantastic, but the same level is Humble Pie, The Doors, Uriah Heep, Jimi Hendrix in the West, Velvet Underground, Rory live in Europe (my hero) 🤗
MARK II was more than one album Mark II (1969-1973): Concerto for Group and Orchestra, In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, Made in Japan and Who Do We Think We Are In April 1984, eight years after the demise of Deep Purple, a full-scale (and legal) reunion took place with the "classic" Mark II line-up of 1969-1973: Jon Lord, Ian Paice, Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover. The reformed band signed a worldwide deal with PolyGram, with Mercury Records releasing their albums in the US, and Polydor Records in the UK and other countries. The album Perfect Strangers was recorded in Vermont and released in October 1984. The album was commercially successful, reaching number 5 in the UK Albums Chart and number 12 on the Billboard 200 in the US. The album included the singles and concert staples "Knockin' At Your Back Door" and "Perfect Strangers". Perfect Strangers became the second Deep Purple album to go platinum in the US, following Machine Head (Made in Japan would also finally hit platinum status in the US in 1986, the same year Machine Head increased to double platinum)
Thanks for saving me having to clarify their discology. Only thing that was missed, it's one of my biggest peeves - it's GillAN - There's no "i" in there. I've been yelling at my radio at dj's who always mispronounce his name for 40 years. ( it doesn't really ruin my day as I may be making it sound.... 🙂)
I saw them on the Perfect Strangers tour in Toronto. To this day, one of the best, and loudest concerts I ever saw. Gillan introd Speed King by saying "Everything in this song is illegal.".
Agreed. The sad thing is that the US version of the album had the first couple of minutes cut out. STUPIDEST decision in the history of rock music! That intro sets up the vibe for the entire album, let alone this song.
Ouço este álbum desde 1976 e piro com Speed King apesar de não se perder uma única música. Esta gargalhada é a cara da minha adolescência. De Natal RN Nordeste Brasil. Sucesso para o canal, meu rapaz e muito rock na cabeça, ok?
53 or 54 years since I bought this album, and, it can't be topped as a hard rock classic. No current group is within a quantum leap of this level of music.
Yet another person falling in to the trap with the usual none-sense by stating a band is far better than anything else on the planet. They were (are) one of many great bands.
When i first heard this in 1970 i couldn't believe my ears, it was so shockingly good and i didn't understand how it was possible to accomplish such a sound and i still think it is incredible 54 years later. This mix of raw rock,blues ,jazzie bits and classic music into one without making it to pretentious for a 17 old guy as i was at the time was really genius. Great musicians and ground breakers, very innovative at thet time.
It's 1970. This is probably the hardest first song ever released (at that time). This song is a bomb. Deep Purple's album "In Rock" is in my top 10 best "hard rock" albums. Deep Purple, despite the various lineups, is an exceptional band that is still touring now. I'm going to see them in October for the fourth time.
Paice is one of the most amazing drummers ever and never gets brought up as one for whatever reason. Can play all sorts of dynamics and drive a band with timekeeping if need be. He could play powerfully like Bonham, explosive like Moon and also go faster than either of them. And yet, he also would not overwhelm you with technicality. His background in jazz (whereas a lot of the other rock god drummers mainly started in blues or rock) was a big reason for this crazy good versatility. Gillan was also the prototype for the hard rock/metal screaming frontman, setting the template even more than Plant (who he has less in common with than, say, Arthur Brown). Guys like Bruce Dickenson, Dio and Rob Halford took it to even more high pitched levels but neither had the gruffness Ian had. A lot is said about Blackmore but another case can be made for Jon Lord as one of the most versatile keyboardists ever in a rock band thanks to his ability not only to play bluesy pentatonic scales but his extensive classical training. Just a powerhouse of a band and they didn't even lose a step when Gillan and Glover left and were replaced by David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes (who together became co-frontmen of the 1973-75 iteration).
Yes, they were an incredibly gifted band and as you say, very versatile. Their varied background in other kinds of music than just rock'n'roll and blues added a great deal to the mix, mush like in bands Yes or the Grateful Dead, around the same time. When you've heard Ian Gillan's amazing vocals as Jesus on the original recording of Jesus Christ Superstar it's very easy to hear how seamlessly he brought that technique and that vocal passion to Deep Purple as well (thirty years later, none other than Luciano Pavarotti called Ian Gillan a genius of a singer). :)
@@jerrywoods4066 there's a really great run of albums from deep purple and there's not a bad pick in the run. Made in Japan is a great album too, one of my favorite live albums.
Drummer Ian Paice is the last remaining original member remaining in Deep Purple today. Ian has also played in a few projects with Paul McCartney back in 1999. (drums on Paul's early Rock N Roll album "Run Devil Run", and several TV appearances and the first Cavern Club Concert Paul performed. Its on DVD)
@@latheofheaven1017 I googled Ian Paice and the report said was he was the last original member still in the group. Don't know the status of any others. But maybe this individual was not an original member.
@@theheepster Here you yahoos go opening your mouths before checking your facts: Deep Purple FORMED in 1968 with Rod Evans on vocals, Richie Blackmore on guitar, Nick Simper on bass, Jon Lord on keyboards and Ian Paice on drums. A simple Internet search would have told you that, but no, you go shooting your mouth off way too soon and waste my time for a matter I don't really care about. Let this be an end to it. So Paice is the last remaining original member. Don't know when these others joined, you can look that up yourself.
Archetypal track and a superb opener for this seminal album. It was one of the first albums I heard with Purple, one of my cousins had it (along with "Made in Japan", the famous "Mark I and II" compilation, "Machine Head" and some more of their classic early seventies sets). I would have been nine or something when I first listened to this epic, eruptive song which my brother soon recorded to a cassette tape. :)
Spread the word. Deep Purple is rocking, melodic mayhem for your mind and soul. Many favorites on my list. The album Fireball is awesome, showing the musical diversity of the band. Blackmore’s classical music background always shines.
6:09 - this little switch up in the syncopation of the drums on the verse reprise gets me everytime, because every fill on these is slightly different, but the others are all off the beat whereas this one is very much on it, and that crisp "ratta-tatta-tatta" really pops next to the more 'bappada-bappada-boom" style rolls. This is where jazz and psychedelic rock meet speed metal.
The original title was "Kneel and Pray" a reference to oral s-x. EMI vetoed that one, but it can still be heard at the start of the very rewarding set of bonus tracks on the Anniversary Edition of the album, released in 2000 - one of the engineers is saying in a very well-schooled, English voice: "Kneel and Pray, take one!". 😃 By the way, the chaotic opening section was recorded separately and tacked on to the rest of the song.
Deep Purple was the greatest collection of talent in rock. I'm 57 years old and they've been my favorite band ever since I was a kid. Keep playing more.
I did get to see them. Perfect Strangers Tour!!! Awesome Show!!! I paid $40.00 a ticket. I got them from a scalper at the Arena a half hour before the concert.
Great musicianship. A new song for me as it's out of my wheelhouse. I was still listening to Motown in 1970. Rare Earth and Chicago. I'd just discovered Santana, CSN&Y after listening to the Woodstock album on repeat. Just something about those Latin rhythms that I like. Metal came much later for me.
Another really heavy band is the first blue cheer album from 1968 called vincibus eruptum. The whole album is classic, the big single was a cover of summertime blues, check it out to get a feel of when metal really started
When I was in junior high in the US, a British kid turned me on to this. Later I bought the record, but the whole intro section before the vocals had been cut in the US version, so lucky you having the better, British version! And hey Andy if you're reading this!
FAR from the only album featuring this lineup. They had one previous, and 5 more over the next few years. REformed together in 1984 for a few more. Ian. Ian, and Roger are still out there doing it .
In Rock is my favourite Deep Purple studio album. The band were louder and more aggressive than anything that had come before them. If you were a rock fan growing up in the UK in the 1970's, Speed King was one of the Deep Purple tracks that would be familiar from listening to the radio. The others would be: Black Night, Highway Star, Smoke on the Water and Woman from Tokyo.
@@paulwood5803 I didn't forget Burn, it just wasn't a track that was played on UK radio, so I didn't know it existed until I started buying Deep Purple albums. Child in Time used to get played once a year.
@@delorangeade Different band by then with Coverdale and Hughes replacing Gillan and Glover.... saw them in 1974... a bit special but just not having that great edge of the Mk2 lineup doing IN ROCK.
Trivia - Purple also did a piano version in 1969 along with this version which is heavier and has a great harmony section between Gillian and Blackmore
DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK FUE LA PIEDRA FUNDAMENTAL DEL HEAVY, DEL HARD,DEL SPEED METAL ,DEL PROTO METAL Y TODO LO QUE VINO DESPUÉS FUCKING DEEP PURPLE LEYENDAS!!!!!💜💜🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸
Ian Paice is one of my favourite drummers and there are a lot of my generation (X) who are ignorant of the Purple. I love this combo but i'm a big Glenn Hughes fan (i like Coverdale too) so luckily i like all the eras. I suggest you check out Black Country Communion (lead singer Glenn Hughes, guitarist Joe Bonamassa, drummer Jason Bonham)
Dirty to correct you but this supergroup had the same line up on Deep Purple In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head and the live and fabulous Made In Japan. Much is make of the vituosity of Ritchie & Jon and the amazing voice of Ian Gillan. But the rhythm section of Roger and Ian were really on their game then.
The main riff to Speed King is by Roger. Jon actually made a little mistake in the opening sequence. Instead of stopping and doing another take, he looked at the keys and then came up with the rest of his intro. It cannot be imagined any other way. Jon used the percussive setting on his Hammond. (You hear this also on Child In Time).
Speed King was one of the best tracks on this album of fantastic rock music- the best they ever did. Bought it new in 1970 along with Black Sabbath 1. Seen them a couple of times recently- shouldn't have bothered. New fans won't be fussed and still think they are great, but compared to the 1972 tour I saw!
Hello Lee, ...the legendary Intro alone..OMG! This album is absolutely groundbreaking. 'In Rock' (1970) is, with absolute cerainty, one of the three most important Records in the History of Rock. By the way, this Album was the first Album I bought by the release in the Year 1970 (the other following albums I have bought were, I still remember it like it was yesterday, the albums: 2. Deep Purple: Fireball (1971); 3. Free: Fire and Water (1970); and, number 4. Black Sabbath: Master of Reality (1971) - by the way, all these records remain absolute masterpieces to this day, for shure (I was 13 years old at the time). I had heard the first notes of 'Speed King' (the absolute insane guitar intro of Ritchie Blackmore, together with the unbelievable Jon Lords 'Killer' Hammond Organ sound) - this was the moment, that's when it happened to me - from then on I was an absolute fan of this phenomenal band. I love this album to this day, just as much as when I first heard it. Deep Purple 'In Rock' is and remains undisputedly a masterpiece for all eternity, a absolute breathtaking album. ☺ Kind regards Heinz (Munich/Germany). 💓🌳🌲🌷⚘🌱✨
Thank you for doing Deep Purple! One of the best bands ever, and surely one of the best in hardrock and metal history. Why don't you try them live? There is a whole concert live from 1974 called "Live at the California Jam '74". Official release on VHS and DVS through the years. Of course it's on yt. Check out the amazing "Mistreated" from that concert and you won't be disappointed! Ritchie does some truly amazing guitar work on that. Soul full, gentle and aggressive! It's Deep Purple mark 3.
The song you almost listened to is from the US version of the album. Yeah for some reason they cut the first minute of Blackmore going absolutely apesh*t. 🥰
As far as I am aware, no tracks from this album were released as singles in the UK. The record company wanted one, so they hurriedly wrote and recorded Black Night, which was only on later versions of the album on cd.
Child in time off in Rock is the version you should check out. Made in Japan is the live album to listen to for a true insight of the band at the top of their game.
Been listening to this album 50 years. Get some education youngsters and understand what the 2020s are missing. Ian Paice is a monster drummer and so long ago he set the bar. They were youngsters back then and masters at the same time. The album blew me away when I first heard it. The album is full of brilliant music. Check out the other tunes. Consider the timeline of the British Metal invasion, Zeppelin II released October '69, Black Sabbath released Feb 1970 (Friday 13 btw) and In Rock mid '70. Was there something in the water in England?
If you haven't reacted to Highway Star yet, you should probably do that next. Then come back and cover the entire In Rock album, followed by Machine Head and Fireball.
@@bubblebobble6406 I'll put you out of your misery: In Rock; Fireball; Machine Head; Who Do We Think We Are; Perfect Strangers; House Of Blue Light; The Battle Rages On.
I agree! From the stuff I’ve heard from them, they were just as good as any of the bands that got immortalized basically. But if you ask anyone these days who is Uriah heep they are gonna look at yah funny. 😆 their loss
@@L33Reacts I saw Uriah Heep 6 times starting in November 1973. The most amazing lineup was Box, Byron, Hensley, Kerslake and Thain, with albums like DEMONS AND WIZARDS and SWEET FREEDOM among the best. Also worth hearing everything from 1971-1976
@@bobinscotland I saw them at a music festival in Germany along with Ted Nugent, Manfred Mann and several other bands. Aerosmith was also there but like the 2 times when Aerosmith performed here in San Diego in the 70's where I and my friends left early because Aerosmith sucked live back then because Tyler couldn't remember lyrics. Absolutely lousiest live band of the 70's.
Dude - you need to check out the Made In Japan version of "Space Truckin'" - almost 20 minutes of pure R&R bliss! Also - you can't go wrong doing this whole album track by track.

MARK II was more than one album
Mark II (1969-1973): Concerto for Group and Orchestra, In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, Made in Japan and Who Do We Think We Are
In April 1984, eight years after the demise of Deep Purple, a full-scale (and legal) reunion took place with the "classic" Mark II line-up of 1969-1973: Jon Lord, Ian Paice, Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover. The reformed band signed a worldwide deal with PolyGram, with Mercury Records releasing their albums in the US, and Polydor Records in the UK and other countries. The album Perfect Strangers was recorded in Vermont and released in October 1984. The album was commercially successful, reaching number 5 in the UK Albums Chart and number 12 on the Billboard 200 in the US. The album included the singles and concert staples "Knockin' At Your Back Door" and "Perfect Strangers". Perfect Strangers became the second Deep Purple album to go platinum in the US, following Machine Head (Made in Japan would also finally hit platinum status in the US in 1986, the same year Machine Head increased to double platinum)
But Machine Head is Peak City
Thanks for saving me having to clarify their discology. Only thing that was missed, it's one of my biggest peeves - it's GillAN - There's no "i" in there. I've been yelling at my radio at dj's who always mispronounce his name for 40 years. ( it doesn't really ruin my day as I may be making it sound.... 🙂)
Everyone forgets The House of Blue light and the Battle Rages on. Those are MkII albums, too .
I saw them on the Perfect Strangers tour in Toronto. To this day, one of the best, and loudest concerts I ever saw. Gillan introd Speed King by saying "Everything in this song is illegal.".
Went to the Edinburgh Playhouse in the 80s to see the reformed mk2 line-up,along with my two older brothers,brilliant concert
Never heard a better start to a rock album than that crazy explosion of sound at the start of this song. Amazing band.
Agreed. The sad thing is that the US version of the album had the first couple of minutes cut out. STUPIDEST decision in the history of rock music! That intro sets up the vibe for the entire album, let alone this song.
And then they went for recording a starting AC unit for the next album. I mean, I love Fireball more than most, but it's still no explosion :D.

... A great song, a great band!! 🎸🎹🥁🎤👍🏻👍🏻
It's crazy what would inspire a song. Speed King was the brand peddle Ian Paice used on his drum kit. Peace
in rock is the best album of deep purple,j'adore ❤👍👍👍
Best version of that band, imo. F’in Ian Paice man. Such clean, great drumming
In Rock is my favourite Deep Purple studio album. The band were louder and more aggressive than anything that had come before them. If you were a rock fan growing up in the UK in the 1970's, Speed King was one of the Deep Purple tracks that would be familiar from listening to the radio. The others would be: Black Night, Highway Star, Smoke on the Water and Woman from Tokyo.
you forgot Burn, which would humbly suggest is the best DP track ever......
@@paulwood5803 I didn't forget Burn, it just wasn't a track that was played on UK radio, so I didn't know it existed until I started buying Deep Purple albums. Child in Time used to get played once a year.
@@delorangeade Different band by then with Coverdale and Hughes replacing Gillan and Glover.... saw them in 1974... a bit special but just not having that great edge of the Mk2 lineup doing IN ROCK.
Deep purple awesome musicians
Trivia - Purple also did a piano version in 1969 along with this version which is heavier and has a great harmony section between Gillian and Blackmore
DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK FUE LA PIEDRA FUNDAMENTAL DEL HEAVY, DEL HARD,DEL SPEED METAL ,DEL PROTO METAL Y TODO LO QUE VINO DESPUÉS FUCKING DEEP PURPLE LEYENDAS!!!!!💜💜🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸
Just totally funking superb...!
I totally fucking agree man. This is the BEES KNEES
Ian Paice is one of my favourite drummers and there are a lot of my generation (X) who are ignorant of the Purple. I love this combo but i'm a big Glenn Hughes fan (i like Coverdale too) so luckily i like all the eras. I suggest you check out Black Country Communion (lead singer Glenn Hughes, guitarist Joe Bonamassa, drummer Jason Bonham)
Mark II (1969-1973): Concerto for Group and Orchestra, In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, Made in Japan and Who Do We Think We Are
El mejor disco de la historia
Check out "Flight Of The Rat" for the drumming (studio version)
Dirty to correct you but this supergroup had the same line up on Deep Purple In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head and the live and fabulous Made In Japan. Much is make of the vituosity of Ritchie & Jon and the amazing voice of Ian Gillan. But the rhythm section of Roger and Ian were really on their game then.
The main riff to Speed King is by Roger. Jon actually made a little mistake in the opening sequence. Instead of stopping and doing another take, he looked at the keys and then came up with the rest of his intro. It cannot be imagined any other way. Jon used the percussive setting on his Hammond. (You hear this also on Child In Time).
Do the rest of the album. It's all good!😉
Speed King was one of the best tracks on this album of fantastic rock music- the best they ever did. Bought it new in 1970 along with Black Sabbath 1. Seen them a couple of times recently- shouldn't have bothered. New fans won't be fussed and still think they are great, but compared to the 1972 tour I saw!
This was Rock and ofcourse still is💪🎤🥁🎸👍💥
His performance as Jesus in the Original Jesus Christ Superstar is omncredible GETHSEMANE
I don't think they were talking about the Ludwig bass drum pedal
Hello Lee, ...the legendary Intro alone..OMG! This album is absolutely groundbreaking. 'In Rock' (1970) is, with absolute cerainty, one of the three most important Records in the History of Rock. By the way, this Album was the first Album I bought by the release in the Year 1970 (the other following albums I have bought were, I still remember it like it was yesterday, the albums: 2. Deep Purple: Fireball (1971); 3. Free: Fire and Water (1970); and, number 4. Black Sabbath: Master of Reality (1971) - by the way, all these records remain absolute masterpieces to this day, for shure (I was 13 years old at the time). I had heard the first notes of 'Speed King' (the absolute insane guitar intro of Ritchie Blackmore, together with the unbelievable Jon Lords 'Killer' Hammond Organ sound) - this was the moment, that's when it happened to me - from then on I was an absolute fan of this phenomenal band. I love this album to this day, just as much as when I first heard it. Deep Purple 'In Rock' is and remains undisputedly a masterpiece for all eternity, a absolute breathtaking album. ☺ Kind regards Heinz (Munich/Germany). 💓🌳🌲🌷⚘🌱✨
Thank you for doing Deep Purple! One of the best bands ever, and surely one of the best in hardrock and metal history. Why don't you try them live? There is a whole concert live from 1974 called "Live at the California Jam '74". Official release on VHS and DVS through the years. Of course it's on yt. Check out the amazing "Mistreated" from that concert and you won't be disappointed! Ritchie does some truly amazing guitar work on that. Soul full, gentle and aggressive! It's Deep Purple mark 3.
You have to check out 'Flight of the Rat'! You'll love it!
The song you almost listened to is from the US version of the album. Yeah for some reason they cut the first minute of Blackmore going absolutely apesh*t. 🥰
And then, just wait until you check out FIREBALL!! Put your seatbelt on !
my favourite studio album!, ... the best not in studio: Live in Stockholm 1970, obviously played by the best live band ever "Deep Purple"!
As far as I am aware, no tracks from this album were released as singles in the UK. The record company wanted one, so they hurriedly wrote and recorded Black Night, which was only on later versions of the album on cd.
Child in time off in Rock is the version you should check out. Made in Japan is the live album to listen to for a true insight of the band at the top of their game.
check out the ending of Flight of The Rat. Paice was king of the triplet. Also the intro to Pictures of Homes.
Du très grand Deep Purple 🎸👏👍👏👍🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Have a listen to 'Burn', from the album of the same title by Deep Purple Mark III
Been listening to this album 50 years. Get some education youngsters and understand what the 2020s are missing. Ian Paice is a monster drummer and so long ago he set the bar. They were youngsters back then and masters at the same time. The album blew me away when I first heard it. The album is full of brilliant music. Check out the other tunes. Consider the timeline of the British Metal invasion, Zeppelin II released October '69, Black Sabbath released Feb 1970 (Friday 13 btw) and In Rock mid '70. Was there something in the water in England?
Ian Paice is a very underrated drummer
There is a live Truncated version of this song from a show called doing there thing Granada tv 1970… it is early speed metal.
Yes!! Too bad they cut half of the performance. The whole video Is gold!!
@@littlebritain64 the first DVD I’ve had of deep purple
In the UK this was on the B side of Black Knight single but I don't remember it being shorter than the album version.. Maybe I'm wrong
I’d be more than happy for you to check out the rest of this album along with fireball and machine head, all drop dead classics!!!
Blackmore Is God!!
IN ROCK. go all the way through. Martin Popoff got that right. hes cool bloke
If you haven't reacted to Highway Star yet, you should probably do that next. Then come back and cover the entire In Rock album, followed by Machine Head and Fireball.
If you can find a live version from this time frame, it won't disappoint. Gillan is more active. Vocally matching Blackmore's solo.😅
Its Ian Gillan not Gillian mate. This MK2 line up made a few records together too. 👍
Seven, to be precise (excluding live albums).
Four actually... In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head and Who Do We Think We Are. The first 3 were mark 1, the following three were mark 3.
@@bubblebobble6406 seven.
@@bubblebobble6406 I'll put you out of your misery: In Rock; Fireball; Machine Head; Who Do We Think We Are; Perfect Strangers; House Of Blue Light; The Battle Rages On.
Live in Japan is an amazing album. The song I'm In Love With My Car is kick ass for sure.

Uriah Heap is greatly underappreciated in my opinion.
I agree! From the stuff I’ve heard from them, they were just as good as any of the bands that got immortalized basically. But if you ask anyone these days who is Uriah heep they are gonna look at yah funny. 😆 their loss
@@L33Reacts I saw Uriah Heep 6 times starting in November 1973. The most amazing lineup was Box, Byron, Hensley, Kerslake and Thain, with albums like DEMONS AND WIZARDS and SWEET FREEDOM among the best. Also worth hearing everything from 1971-1976
@@bobinscotland I saw them at a music festival in Germany along with Ted Nugent, Manfred Mann and several other bands. Aerosmith was also there but like the 2 times when Aerosmith performed here in San Diego in the 70's where I and my friends left early because Aerosmith sucked live back then because Tyler couldn't remember lyrics. Absolutely lousiest live band of the 70's.
Had this on 8-track , 3 times cause I wore them out! Great driving album.
Dude - you need to check out the Made In Japan version of "Space Truckin'" - almost 20 minutes of pure R&R bliss!
Also - you can't go wrong doing this whole album track by track.
The TOP trio of Led Zeppelin 1st album, Black Sabbath 'Black Sabbath' & Deep Purple in Rock.
Child in Time Made in Japan Live The Definitive Performance of this song Master piece - Live they perform each song diffrent every time.
