Glenn Hughes is easily one of the greatest voices of the genre. With this line up of Deep Purple I have always found humor in the fact that David Coverdale's performances are good, but then Glenn Hughes opens his mouth and it's the voice of a rock GOD! Upstaged is right, I was absolutely delighted to hear someone else basically echo that long held opinion.
Glen is like old wine. Sounds the same 50 years after!! Gillan was on another level from all the others early 70s. He destroyed his voice screaming his @ss with Black Sabbath
Glenn Hughes is a Soul singer at heart. Anyone who has listened to his brilliant album, Play Me Out, can attest to that. DC was great, but Glenn’s solo stuff is beyond amazing. Truth be told, when Glenn sings Purple songs-check out his upcoming Burn 50th tour-he leaves the originals with DC in the shade of his flowing locks. Glenn Hughes’ lack of presence in the wider community is a travesty. A lovely day to all. 🤞🤞
Rene - bought the LP in 77, and wasn't ready for that sound at the time. Happy to play it now, as he's doing some great stuff. 'Addiction' and 'Resonance' are brilliant pieces of work too :-)
@@20kingsize Yes, I think P.M.O. confused many people at the time, expecting it to be a Rock record. It's beautiful, soulful and full of just incredible songs, but a Rock album it isn't. Compare it to Northwinds by DC--which has got some great stuff on it--and you can see how far ahead of its time it really was. Great day to you, mate.
Deep purple is an amazing band! So much rock history! Child in Time is their best song. Check out the live version of that track. The crowd just sits expressionless, as if they know they are hearing greatness but their puny minds won’t let them process it
@@douglasgawitt8818 yeah they look like robots….. emotionless. I would at least have been bobbing my head and smiling. That song, the first listen is a banger
In his biography, Glenn Hughes, the singing bass player (and one of my favorite performers to see live ) is coked out of his freaking skull during this concert. He is sober today. And can still sing like that...only better
Bill Ward from Sabbath was also totally off his face at this show. He said he looks back and can't believe how lucky he was something bad didn't happen. Legends.

@@Ninang363 Ha ha ha ! I read in Tony Iommis biography that Black Sabbath had more coke than Scarface, so it was crazy times back then. Thes anecdotes are kind of funny in a cartoonish way but i seriously hate drugs and have never used them or even alcohol and never will.
David Coverdale had been working in a clothes shop in Redcar until Deep Purple pulled him out of obscurity to replace Ian Gillan whereas Glenn Hughes was a seasoned pro with his band Trapeze. Imagine being a nobody and then your at the Cal Jam in 74 in front of 250-400k fans And Glenn Hughes still has the voice in 2023 and touring songs from this era in October. He's awesome
Deep Purple’s ‘In Rock’ album is one of the reasons I grew into metal. During weekends when my parents were still sleeping I went through my dads record collection and I gave that album quite a few times a spin (along with The Who, Status Quo, Meat Loaf and a few other rock bands). The stage in this video overflows with talent. I prefer the Mark II line up though. Must say, every time I hear a Hammond I’m reminded of John Lord. He’s synonymous for me to the Hammond sound. Thank you for reacting to this great band!
I have always enjoyed the organ of Deep Purple. It stands out! I think it is a Hammond Organ. This band is/was so DAMN good. These bands were around when I was just getting out of high school. So many great bands and wonderful music.. Thank YOU Melisa......
Burn, Highway Star, Stormbringer - there are so many fantastic Deep Purple songs, yet Smoke on the Water is the only one most people have heard of. It's tragic.
This was an amazing concert live .. these guys could write and play and record and produce an album and get it on the shelf for sale in less than two weeks...
The Stones have sold somewhere around 250 million albums worldwide, this doesn't include the sale of singles which puts them into the stratosphere numbers wise. Also, more people have seen Mick Jagger live than any other human being in the whole of history. which is a bit weird.
Ian Gillan, who im sure youll cover soon, also performed as Jesus on the original Jesus Christ Superstar, and his pwrformance on that is just phenomenal
@Melisa Kelly my personal highlight on the album (for his performance) is in The Temple. It shows his range and power, and how intimate he can sound too. There's an awesome scream at the end too. He was such a powerhouse in the 70s!
2 songs I wanna come up with, here: (Jon Lord is one of my greatest heroes. His sound is unique. Btw: the reason he's rocking the organ is 'cause of it's construction: the coils are in some distance from the magnets (like in a loudspeaker, but not as strictly held in place), so shaking the whole construction is causin a distortion from the "clear" sound. That is, was he is going for, here.) From his later (solo) work: "one from the meadow", featuring Sam Brown as a singer. And as for wild performance, something completely different: "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. (I've been dancing to it! It was played on almost every party, back then and from then on. Like D'yer mak'er from Led Zeppelin. Some songs are just timeless.) Greetings from the far north of Germany!
Your spot on about appreciating music more back in the day in the late 70s early 80s records were are treasured positions. We spent hours in recovery shops looking at record and listening to them but we could only afford maybe 1 or2 a month. We would go round each other’s houses to listen to each other’s new albums and we would listen to full albums not just a favourite track. I still have and listen to most of them to this day so I guess we got more attached to those albums and appreciated them more for it. Make some time for Deep purple made in Japan full album lights down with your favourite drink one night.
When Ian Gillan left Deep Purple, they replaced him with two amazing lead vocalists. Although I never saw the two of them in Deep Purple, I saw them with other bands. I saw Glenn Hughes in the early 80s when he was briefly the lead vocalist for Black Sabbath. That was pretty amazing! When you hit Deep Purple again, please take a listen to Child in Time. The live version of this song is mind blowing. Take a look at a live video performance if you can.
As long as Ritchie was in the band it was Deep Purple,. The later stuff is just retirement issues. I love when Ritchie told Glenn Hughes; "Shut the fuck up and play the bass" when he was having issues not being the main lead singer (which was Coverdale).
The California jam at the Ontario Motor Speedway in 1974 was a great concert! I can't even remember how I got home. I was seriously sunburned, dehydrated and hungover the next day! It was worth it, lots of good music and memories!
@@SoulSingerDiscovers Great! Correction, it's 1970... I think you will enjoy it. It's one of the more remarkable rock vocal performances, and the instrumentation is not too shabby either. 😺
Took two singers to do what Ian Gillan could do and they still couldn't quite get up there like he did. Ian Gillan was always the best voice of Deep Purple IMHO
Glenn Hughes auditioned for a spot in the band as a singer. He even got the gig, but then they heard David Coverdale and snapped him up, too. They hadn't planned to have two lead singers in the band, but that's what they got.
Forgive me, but that is nonsense. Firstly, Glenn didn’t audition, the members of Purple all went to see his band Trapeze, where he was bassist/lead singer, to check Glenn out, and invited him to join the band. He was told then that they only wanted him as a bass player as they already had Paul Rodgers on lead vocals, and Glenn agreed to join as long as he could also sing-but, not just the ooh’s and ahh’s, as Jon Lord put it-with Paul. Rodgers dropped out and they, with Glenn, auditioned new singers and DC got the gig. A lovely day to you.
Glenn Hughes was recruited into Deep Purple before David Coverdale. Glenn was the lead singer and bassist for Trapeze, with the late Mel Galley on guitar, and the late Dave Holland on drums. They were a funky rock power trio, and Glenn has occasionally insisted he shouldn't have left Trapeze for Deep Purple. But he thought he'd be singing lead vocals except Ritchie said he wanted someone with a deeper bluesier (manly) voice like Paul Rogers of Free. Ritchie told Glenn they'd offered Paul the lead singer spot, so Glenn agreed just to play bass. Then Paul chose to do Bad Company instead, and David Coverdale, then a complete unknown, was brought in as lead singer and lyricist. Glenn sings co-lead vocals on several songs, although David Coverdale sings Mistreated alone, and Soldier of Fortune from the Stormbringer album alone. I like Deep Purple live, but Cal Jam wasn't their best performance. I never understood why David used the mic stand he uses so awkwardly here when Glenn is using the stand David should be using. And Glenn should be using David's stand. I love Glenn Hughes's voice but he doesn't have the lower bluesier sound David has. Sorry Glenn lovers but his versions of Deep Purple songs these days without David miss David's blusier feel. Is Glenn the voice of rock? Maybe. But David was the voice of blues rock and hair metal for a little while. I like the songs Glenn wrote and sang with Deep Purple like This Time Around. But he's not better than David. Just different. Glenn's primary vocal influence is Stevie Wonder so his voice is in the much higher tenor range. David's is more Bobby Blue Bland so baritone primarily. They sang well together. I think the studio version of Burn is vastly superior to this live version, if only because Glenn hits that high note on Time and then holds it forever rather than screeching it as he does here. Huge difference. But bassists for David Coverdale's band Whitesnake who have played and sung Glenn's parts on their version of Burn? Do the vocal version Glenn does here. Which doesn't do his voice justice. To me. So yes. Deep Purple got two lead vocalists when Ian Gillan left. And when Tommy Bolin stepped in for departed Ritchie Blackmore on Come Taste The Band, they got a third lead vocalist (and Deep Purple played one of Tommy's solo album singles, Wild Dogs, from his Teaser solo album). [Jon Lord was playing a Hammond C-3 keyboard live. He was a bit too brutal live to play a B-3. The late Keith Emerson of Emerson Lake & Palmer also was brutal to his keyboards live and used a C-3 live as well.]
Iv'e been on the guest list for two Glenn Hughes gigs, Glasgow 1994 and Edinburgh 2005. Watched his soundcheck in Edinburgh. Glenn's voice never failed him even in his darkest days. What i haven't seen yet in the comments is guitarist Ritchie Blackmore getting his revenge on the promoters ABC TV during the last track. Destroying a camera and blowing up an amp. He was almost blown off the stage by the explosion. Now that was rock n roll.
thanks for go on your journey with this short residence by old classic rock goodies (I find out this band and Led Zep amongts my father's vinyls and he's 75 ^^) Always very pleasant to listen to this riffs and voice
I would say that Coverdale didn't really become a great singer until the early days of Whitesnake. He did two solo albums co written by Whitesnake slide guitar legend Micky Moody entitled, White Snake and Northwinds, from those two albums , I would recommend two songs in particular , firstly, Give me kindness, and secondly, Only my soul. It was with Whitesnake that he really stretched his wings and his voice was magnificent. The original version of Fool for your lovin, is masterful
So.. if you love glenn’s voice… you need to watch “California breed-all falls down”… at an awards show.. he’s in his late 60’s and he still sounds exactly the same if not better than he did in his 20’s… its just him and his guitar player on an acoustic… enjoy!!! Thanks again for another amazing video… you rock!!!
Great reaction as always. yeah their most famous song is smoke on the water but my favorite is Child in time very good song . This was my moms favorite band grewing upp so i took her to see them a few years back they were some old dudes with grey hair but they could still rock have a nice day much love peace
David Coverdale is my second favorite vocalist/singer (after Elvis), but I am always aware that Glenn Hughes is a pure beast (both as an instrumentalist and as a singer). Even if Glenn doesn't have my love - he has my deepest respect and appreciation.
I get your fork in the road analogy but for rock musicians in the 60's and 70's, they grew up listening to Blues, Rock and roll and R&B which informed their music. For instance, most drummers in Britain in the 60's had lessons from Jazz drummers which made them have an appreciation for some swing to their groove, Ian Paice in this video is a great example of that. Those rock musicians coming after are one or two steps from the roots of rock music and often that funky-ness has gone by this point. Also I blame quantising.
Good on ya Hen! Live just doon the coast from ya, and there's hunners of great Purple tracks to explore online with amazing vocals. First heard them in my teens, and been hooked ever since :-) d
If you would like to follow the the high-pitched singing bassist journey, be sure to seek the one and only Geddy Lee, of RUSH. The 70s-80s years were his prime, though they recorded continously beyond 2010. My favorite aspect of this concert is Ritchie Blackmore acting too cool for the stage.
try Mistreated on the same concert. Personally that time I was Gillan fan, but Coverdale started showing his capabilities with continuous improvement up to 80s
This is a good one , but I think you should have checked out the song , Mistreated , you would enjoy that one a lot more , if you really wanted to hear David Coverdale sing !! Yes , from the same concert , The California Jam 1974 .
For all the Rock drummers, Ian Paice was the BADDEST of them all! His playing on any Deep Purple records was always impeccable!! This guy was from the same era as Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker, Carmine Appice, Bill Ward, John Bonham, Keith Moon, etc. etc. but rarely gets the credit, except from REAL DRUMMERS! Honorable mention for me personally, is BOBBY CALDWELL, and PIERRE VAN DER LINDEN
Paice and even John Lord also played in Whitesnake’s pre Hairband lineup with Bernie Marsden and Mickey Moody. Bernie wrote or co-wrote many of Whitesnake’s biggest hits with Coverdale.
You need to hear Whitesnake play Burn from the 2004 MTV Concert. Also, if you haven’t heard UFO then you’re missing Michael Schenker who is the first Guitar God.
Glen and David were the last of the 70s Deep Purple Mark 3 line up and it was great and far too short lived .. The gestalt Of the 70s was a brew up that has passed away and we all wish it could come back . At least we can see what it was like ..
Deep Purple was the best live band in history and Glenn Hughes? One of the best singers ever! His tour of few years ago about old classic Deep Purple was amazing!
Another band to check out are Atomic Rooster. with Chris Farlowe as the singer. He was with them between 1972 and 1974. I think he's my favourite singer in this band. He also had a solo hit with Out of Time in 1966, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. I like the version of the song Black Snake by Atomic Rooster live at the BBC, where he appears to be eating a sandwich during the first few bars of the song.
Glenn Hughes is a rock treasure. The band Black Country Communion, is a group comprised of Glenn, Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham and Derrick Sherinian, where Glenn and Joe both lend their voices to great music. They do a version of Burn, and I do believe if far surpasses this version, this is purely just my opinion. You may want to check that out, Glenn does all the singing in that version. The band Black Country Communion is a great listen all around. I have been listening to Glenn since the early 70's, when he was with the Band Trapeze, he has a golden voice. Thanks for letting me rant.
Glenn Hughes was A) a great bass player, B) could have been a lead singer in his own right, and C) a fantastic stage performer. I watched this "California Jam" as it was portrayed live on TV in the 70's. I also saw Deep Purple live at the Portland Colosseum in 1974. I went there to stand at Blackmore's feet and learn some neo classical techniques.
Agreed Melisa, nothing against David Coverdale, but Glenn Hughes is a mighty vocalist - saw Glenn at a solo gig in a small club, (200-300 people) probably less than 10 years ago, and he played quite a few old Deep Purple songs, as well as stuff from the rest of his career, and man-o-man, what a show - vocals bordering on otherworldly, and bass playing that left my bass playing mate, whom I was there with, completely blown away. I will never forget it, I even bought Glenn's latest solo album at the gig and waited around for him to sign it, not knowing any of the songs on it, simply as a thank you to him, for one of the best nights of live music I have ever experienced (and that is as a former semi-pro singer myself, and having seen more gigs than I could possibly count or even remember). Cheers! For your next Deep Purple review, might I recommend "Child in Time" (either the live on a 1970 BBC TV show, or the studio version, both are great for slightly different reasons, and you can't go wrong with either).
For more of Glenn Hughes’ incredible range I highly recommend his version of Catch The Rainbow from the Ronnie James Dio - This Is Your Life Tribute album.
I implore you to listen to the song's cover done by Mr Big, and keep in mind they play it with no keyboard. And it's the same singer that most associate with "wild world" cover and "(to be the next to) be with you.
Just discovered your channel and I am thrilled that I did. THAT was one of the most fun reactions I've ever seen. I loved it! Thank you. I'm not sure if this is in any of the other comments but trust me on this: I'm a huge Glenn Hughes fan myself and this probably won't surprise you -- he himself was/is a huge soul and funk music fan. I read in the '70s that he was Stevie Wonder's favorite white singer. His band before Deep Purple was named Trapeze. Purple heard him in that band and recruited him. He has FOUR great soul songs from his days in Trapeze. I will pay you to react to them. I would love to hear you check them out. Here are their titles: "Coast to Coast", "What is a Woman's Role?", "Good Love" and "Will Our Love End?". Doing the original studio versions is without doubt the way to go with them. And there are 2 Deep Purple songs that are beautiful soul tunes that feature Glenn -- "This Time Around" and "Holy Man" -- again the original studio versions are best. I'll see if you have some deal on Patreon to make requests. If not, please consider reacting to these songs so you can hear Glenn in probably his best element. He also has excellent covers of "Video Killed the Radio Star" and "Whiter Shade of Pale" that are quite nice. Great to "meet" you here, I'm glad I stumbled across your channel. 😊
If you want to see Glenn Hughes let loose, watch the Jon Lord Tribute and he sings lead on Burn, alongside Bruce Dickinson. It was about 10 years ago and he STILL has it all. And in this video, he gets the biggest crowd reaction. Coverdale sings like he has marbles in his mouth and his words tend to jumble as a result. He's much improved, vocally, in Whitesnake and had changed his entire singing style at that point.
Glenn is a soul singer ..... Stevie Wonder said that Glenn was his favourite. Most importantly, he's one of the only singers who was active 50+ years ago who is still great. (also sidenote He was the vocalist of Black Sabbath for a short time - 1 album and about 5 shows)
Bassist Glen Hughes complimented David Coverdale to the point that he became his shadow....He would have been a formidable frontman in ANY band.....new sub here, liking ya so far!
David Coverdale (singer here) formed Whitesnake...you need to react the Whiternake versión from "Burn" from their "The Purple Album" (Deep Purple covers) 41 years ago.... from 2015!
Oh, and here's something to make your mind bend, I'm heading to Germany in September to see Purpendicular And Deep Purple (probably for the last time). Ian Paice, Roger Glover, Don Airey (organ), and Steve Morse's replacement, Simon McBride, and Ian GIllan.
Love you babe,you are great! Please listen to Love Don't Mean a Thing or Soldier of Fortune for David's great blues voice from the album Stormbringer.The album also has Glenn singing in top form - when hasn't he !
You are my new favourite reactor. I love every reaction so far. You have me in stitches. Damn you’re funny & gorgeous. Please please please do more Nightwish. You will absolutely be blown away. Keep up the great reactions!

Glenn Hughes is one of the few guys who (unlike Coverdale) never lost his voice. He's still singing his ass off with the Dead Daisies.
Gillan can still sing... but his range is nowhere near what it used to be. He hasn't been able to sing Child in Time since the 90's
Coverdale can still sing decent though, Whitesnakes is still a great experience, it is not like he has became as bad as Axel Rose or Vince Neil.
@@otnoirhcW E L L. Axl has sustained Vocal chord damage which also is at fault for his voice not being as good anymore.

Glenn Hughes auditioned for a spot in the band as a singer. He even got the gig, but then they heard David Coverdale and snapped him up, too.
They hadn't planned to have two lead singers in the band, but that's what they got.
Forgive me, but that is nonsense. Firstly, Glenn didn’t audition, the members of Purple all went to see his band Trapeze, where he was bassist/lead singer, to check Glenn out, and invited him to join the band. He was told then that they only wanted him as a bass player as they already had Paul Rodgers on lead vocals, and Glenn agreed to join as long as he could also sing-but, not just the ooh’s and ahh’s, as Jon Lord put it-with Paul. Rodgers dropped out and they, with Glenn, auditioned new singers and DC got the gig. A lovely day to you.
Hang in there you're great we had a Renaissance now it's your turn to make the New Renaissance I hope it happens a great music again
Glenn Hughes was recruited into Deep Purple before David Coverdale. Glenn was the lead singer and bassist for Trapeze, with the late Mel Galley on guitar, and the late Dave Holland on drums. They were a funky rock power trio, and Glenn has occasionally insisted he shouldn't have left Trapeze for Deep Purple. But he thought he'd be singing lead vocals except Ritchie said he wanted someone with a deeper bluesier (manly) voice like Paul Rogers of Free. Ritchie told Glenn they'd offered Paul the lead singer spot, so Glenn agreed just to play bass. Then Paul chose to do Bad Company instead, and David Coverdale, then a complete unknown, was brought in as lead singer and lyricist. Glenn sings co-lead vocals on several songs, although David Coverdale sings Mistreated alone, and Soldier of Fortune from the Stormbringer album alone.
I like Deep Purple live, but Cal Jam wasn't their best performance.
I never understood why David used the mic stand he uses so awkwardly here when Glenn is using the stand David should be using.
And Glenn should be using David's stand.
I love Glenn Hughes's voice but he doesn't have the lower bluesier sound David has.
Sorry Glenn lovers but his versions of Deep Purple songs these days without David miss David's blusier feel.
Is Glenn the voice of rock?
Maybe.
But David was the voice of blues rock and hair metal for a little while.
I like the songs Glenn wrote and sang with Deep Purple like This Time Around. But he's not better than David.
Just different.
Glenn's primary vocal influence is Stevie Wonder so his voice is in the much higher tenor range. David's is more Bobby Blue Bland so baritone primarily.
They sang well together.
I think the studio version of Burn is vastly superior to this live version, if only because Glenn hits that high note on Time and then holds it forever rather than screeching it as he does here.
Huge difference.
But bassists for David Coverdale's band Whitesnake who have played and sung Glenn's parts on their version of Burn? Do the vocal version Glenn does here.
Which doesn't do his voice justice.
To me.
So yes.
Deep Purple got two lead vocalists when Ian Gillan left. And when Tommy Bolin stepped in for departed Ritchie Blackmore on Come Taste The Band, they got a third lead vocalist (and Deep Purple played one of Tommy's solo album singles, Wild Dogs, from his Teaser solo album).
[Jon Lord was playing a Hammond C-3 keyboard live. He was a bit too brutal live to play a B-3. The late Keith Emerson of Emerson Lake & Palmer also was brutal to his keyboards live and used a C-3 live as well.]
Iv'e been on the guest list for two Glenn Hughes gigs, Glasgow 1994 and Edinburgh 2005. Watched his soundcheck in Edinburgh. Glenn's voice never failed him even in his darkest days. What i haven't seen yet in the comments is guitarist Ritchie Blackmore getting his revenge on the promoters ABC TV during the last track. Destroying a camera and blowing up an amp. He was almost blown off the stage by the explosion. Now that was rock n roll.
You need to watch Glenn on stage with Black Country Communion! Epic!😎👍
Googling now! Thanks Bruce! 😊
Deep Purple - Child In Time - Live (1970) A MUST!
This is David Coverdale from the band Whitesnake. The original singer was Ian Gillian. Both can belt out songs
thanks for go on your journey with this short residence by old classic rock goodies (I find out this band and Led Zep amongts my father's vinyls and he's 75 ^^) Always very pleasant to listen to this riffs and voice
I love Glenns performance of 'i can see your spirit' with Black country communion, live in europe. Great fun
I would say that Coverdale didn't really become a great singer until the early days of Whitesnake. He did two solo albums co written by Whitesnake slide guitar legend Micky Moody entitled, White Snake and Northwinds, from those two albums , I would recommend two songs in particular , firstly, Give me kindness, and secondly, Only my soul. It was with Whitesnake that he really stretched his wings and his voice was magnificent. The original version of Fool for your lovin, is masterful
Thank you for specifying ORIGINAL version of Fool for your loving 👍
@@eirikmoltu553 it has to be the original. Coverdale later developed a nasty habit of re-recording his best songs and ruining them completely 😤
So.. if you love glenn’s voice… you need to watch “California breed-all falls down”… at an awards show.. he’s in his late 60’s and he still sounds exactly the same if not better than he did in his 20’s… its just him and his guitar player on an acoustic… enjoy!!!
Thanks again for another amazing video… you rock!!!
Thank you my dude! I appreciate it! 😊
Glenn Hughes is a lead singer who also plays bass.
Glenn Hughes is playing the Burn album in full - live in the UK this year. His voice is still as good.
I have to see this so bad! 😱
Great reaction as always. yeah their most famous song is smoke on the water but my favorite is Child in time very good song .
This was my moms favorite band grewing upp so i took her to see them a few years back they were some old dudes with grey hair but they could still rock have a nice day much love peace
David Coverdale is my second favorite vocalist/singer (after Elvis), but I am always aware that Glenn Hughes is a pure beast (both as an instrumentalist and as a singer). Even if Glenn doesn't have my love - he has my deepest respect and appreciation.
Glen Hughs great vocals on "You keep on moving" Deep Purple 👍👍
He’s a force of nature 🥰
Nice 😊 my parents named me after Ritchie Blackmore 🤘my name is Ritchie Randall btw
I get your fork in the road analogy but for rock musicians in the 60's and 70's, they grew up listening to Blues, Rock and roll and R&B which informed their music. For instance, most drummers in Britain in the 60's had lessons from Jazz drummers which made them have an appreciation for some swing to their groove, Ian Paice in this video is a great example of that. Those rock musicians coming after are one or two steps from the roots of rock music and often that funky-ness has gone by this point. Also I blame quantising.
Glen Hughes is currently doing his own solo shows along with being a member of black Country Communion and the Dead Daisies.
Watched this concert on the original broadcast, heard through a (?) 4x3 speaker. Still was incredible. California Jam.
Good on ya Hen! Live just doon the coast from ya, and there's hunners of great Purple tracks to explore online with amazing vocals. First heard them in my teens, and been hooked ever since :-) d
To really hear what Gillan can do, try "Child In Time" live from 1970.
If you would like to follow the the high-pitched singing bassist journey, be sure to seek the one and only Geddy Lee, of RUSH. The 70s-80s years were his prime, though they recorded continously beyond 2010.
My favorite aspect of this concert is Ritchie Blackmore acting too cool for the stage.
try Mistreated on the same concert.
Personally that time I was Gillan fan, but Coverdale started showing his capabilities with continuous improvement up to 80s
Highly recommende Judas Priest - Dreamer Deceiver
Glenn's 10th solo album (2005) is called Soul Mover.
Despite playing in rock bands, his roots (and possibly true love) is soul.
This is a good one , but I think you should have checked out the song , Mistreated , you would enjoy that one a lot more , if you really wanted to hear David Coverdale sing !! Yes , from the same concert , The California Jam 1974 .
For all the Rock drummers, Ian Paice was the BADDEST of them all! His playing on any Deep Purple records was always impeccable!! This guy was from the same era as Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker, Carmine Appice, Bill Ward, John Bonham, Keith Moon, etc. etc. but rarely gets the credit, except from REAL DRUMMERS! Honorable mention for me personally, is BOBBY CALDWELL, and PIERRE VAN DER LINDEN
Paice and even John Lord also played in Whitesnake’s pre Hairband lineup with Bernie Marsden and Mickey Moody. Bernie wrote or co-wrote many of Whitesnake’s biggest hits with Coverdale.
You need to hear Whitesnake play Burn from the 2004 MTV Concert. Also, if you haven’t heard UFO then you’re missing Michael Schenker who is the first Guitar God.
For sure
Even though I’m pissed at Don, I’d add Don Brewer to that drummer list. 😂
I heard Machine Head (album) when I was a lad.. it opened my eyes and I became a life-long guitarist due to it :) Rock on!!!
Glen and David were the last of the 70s Deep Purple Mark 3 line up and it was great and far too short lived .. The gestalt Of the 70s was a brew up that has passed away and we all wish it could come back . At least we can see what it was like ..
Deep Purple was the best live band in history and Glenn Hughes? One of the best singers ever! His tour of few years ago about old classic Deep Purple was amazing!
Try their song keep on moving, nice mix of their voices and overall great song
Another band to check out are Atomic Rooster. with Chris Farlowe as the singer. He was with them between 1972 and 1974. I think he's my favourite singer in this band. He also had a solo hit with Out of Time in 1966, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. I like the version of the song Black Snake by Atomic Rooster live at the BBC, where he appears to be eating a sandwich during the first few bars of the song.
If you want to hear more Glenn Hughes check out Black Country Communion and the songs the Crow or Cold
This is metal as fuck and no, you cannot change my mind.
Glenn Hughes. 😊
Glenn Hughes is a rock treasure. The band Black Country Communion, is a group comprised of Glenn, Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham and Derrick Sherinian, where Glenn and Joe both lend their voices to great music. They do a version of Burn, and I do believe if far surpasses this version, this is purely just my opinion. You may want to check that out, Glenn does all the singing in that version. The band Black Country Communion is a great listen all around. I have been listening to Glenn since the early 70's, when he was with the Band Trapeze, he has a golden voice. Thanks for letting me rant.
Ninguno canta con la pasión de Ian Gillan, el mejor de todas las formaciones de Deep Purple!
Oh no, you must listen to them with Ian Gillan!
Oh don’t you worry Robert I will 😊💪
@@SoulSingerDiscovers ❤️
Just be glad she didn't do Joe Lynn Turner...
Jon Lord paired the Hammond with Marshalls creating a sound he said was all he could do to keep up with Blackmore's sound.
Do Lorna Shore next! To the hellfire!!¡!
Glenn Hughes was A) a great bass player, B) could have been a lead singer in his own right, and C) a fantastic stage performer. I watched this "California Jam" as it was portrayed live on TV in the 70's. I also saw Deep Purple live at the Portland Colosseum in 1974. I went there to stand at Blackmore's feet and learn some neo classical techniques.
Agreed Melisa, nothing against David Coverdale, but Glenn Hughes is a mighty vocalist - saw Glenn at a solo gig in a small club, (200-300 people) probably less than 10 years ago, and he played quite a few old Deep Purple songs, as well as stuff from the rest of his career, and man-o-man, what a show - vocals bordering on otherworldly, and bass playing that left my bass playing mate, whom I was there with, completely blown away. I will never forget it, I even bought Glenn's latest solo album at the gig and waited around for him to sign it, not knowing any of the songs on it, simply as a thank you to him, for one of the best nights of live music I have ever experienced (and that is as a former semi-pro singer myself, and having seen more gigs than I could possibly count or even remember). Cheers!
For your next Deep Purple review, might I recommend "Child in Time" (either the live on a 1970 BBC TV show, or the studio version, both are great for slightly different reasons, and you can't go wrong with either).
Consider it done Phillip! Any excuse to return to this band. ‘Child in time’ it will be then 😊❤️
I always thought that Glenn was too much, but I've never been into the screamers...
For more of Glenn Hughes’ incredible range I highly recommend his version of Catch The Rainbow from the Ronnie James Dio - This Is Your Life Tribute album.
I implore you to listen to the song's cover done by Mr Big, and keep in mind they play it with no keyboard. And it's the same singer that most associate with "wild world" cover and "(to be the next to) be with you.
Glenn Hughes was in a band called Black Country Communion wih Joe Bonamassa and Jason Bonham. "Man in the Middle" is great.
Just discovered your channel and I am thrilled that I did. THAT was one of the most fun reactions I've ever seen. I loved it! Thank you. I'm not sure if this is in any of the other comments but trust me on this: I'm a huge Glenn Hughes fan myself and this probably won't surprise you -- he himself was/is a huge soul and funk music fan. I read in the '70s that he was Stevie Wonder's favorite white singer. His band before Deep Purple was named Trapeze. Purple heard him in that band and recruited him. He has FOUR great soul songs from his days in Trapeze. I will pay you to react to them. I would love to hear you check them out. Here are their titles: "Coast to Coast", "What is a Woman's Role?", "Good Love" and "Will Our Love End?". Doing the original studio versions is without doubt the way to go with them. And there are 2 Deep Purple songs that are beautiful soul tunes that feature Glenn -- "This Time Around" and "Holy Man" -- again the original studio versions are best. I'll see if you have some deal on Patreon to make requests. If not, please consider reacting to these songs so you can hear Glenn in probably his best element. He also has excellent covers of "Video Killed the Radio Star" and "Whiter Shade of Pale" that are quite nice. Great to "meet" you here, I'm glad I stumbled across your channel. 😊
I say the crowd reaction to Glenn after that first high note shows who stole this performance
God it was good 🤯😊
If you want to see Glenn Hughes let loose, watch the Jon Lord Tribute and he sings lead on Burn, alongside Bruce Dickinson. It was about 10 years ago and he STILL has it all. And in this video, he gets the biggest crowd reaction. Coverdale sings like he has marbles in his mouth and his words tend to jumble as a result. He's much improved, vocally, in Whitesnake and had changed his entire singing style at that point.
Glenn is a soul singer ..... Stevie Wonder said that Glenn was his favourite.
Most importantly, he's one of the only singers who was active 50+ years ago who is still great.
(also sidenote He was the vocalist of Black Sabbath for a short time - 1 album and about 5 shows)
The reason we say cool is because sometimes it really applies. Especially with this kind of music. My concert list is stupid ridiculous. 😁👍
Ohhh, this is my favorite Deep Purple song. Also features a pre white snake David Coverdale.
u need to watch "child in time" of deep purple too :D
Bassist Glen Hughes complimented David Coverdale to the point that he became his shadow....He would have been a formidable frontman in ANY band.....new sub here, liking ya so far!
Best band ever!
David Coverdale (singer here) formed Whitesnake...you need to react the Whiternake versión from "Burn" from their "The Purple Album" (Deep Purple covers) 41 years ago.... from 2015!
Oh, and here's something to make your mind bend, I'm heading to Germany in September to see Purpendicular And Deep Purple (probably for the last time). Ian Paice, Roger Glover, Don Airey (organ), and Steve Morse's replacement, Simon McBride, and Ian GIllan.
If you let me I will like to recomed that you listen to unleash the archers "tonight we ride" or "awakening" for a video
Glen was a singer in his previous band Trapeze but the blend of vocals was what Ritchie wanted. Purple were more soul with this lineup
Glenn Glenn Glenn! Glenn actually fronted Black Sabbath for a bit (sort of) on the 1986 album "Seventh Star"
I first saw them in 73. That ain't them. Not the members I saw. Look at their earlier stuff. Much better.
Glenn Hughes is still going at 71 years of age. Check out california Breed and Black Country Communion
Love you babe,you are great! Please listen to Love Don't Mean a Thing or Soldier of Fortune for David's great blues voice from the album Stormbringer.The album also has Glenn singing in top form - when hasn't he !
After 50 years of getting my Rock n Roll stripes ,your impressing me gal.😎
Thank you Dan 😊
You are my new favourite reactor. I love every reaction so far. You have me in stitches. Damn you’re funny & gorgeous. Please please please do more Nightwish. You will absolutely be blown away. Keep up the great reactions!
Thank you Bud! I really appreciate it! Doing more Nightwish in about a week maybe two from now. Glad you’re along for the journey! 😊
Love Deep Purple..Zep sold over 300million so they way up there . My two favorite bands
