Those vocals reminded you of the Stones? Are you kidding ne? Mick Jagger couldn’t approach that on his best day ever !!!

This was filmed during a live TV performance. TV audio was very fickle back then, so the audience were specifically directed to be still and silent during the actual performance. It was just "how things were done" back in '69...

[kevinlundgren]

For the 70s, I still think that Ian Gillan had the best vocals and voice ! And Deep Purple is so much more than just Smoke On The Water !

[ChrisJones-wein]

No gimmicks, no gizmos or autotune - absolutely live just straight up pure raw talent from some of the finest musicians to stroll this earth.

We're blessed to have this recorded for posterity and for current and future generations to be able to see, feel and learn just how things had to be done 54 years ago and counting.

It was this performance that convinced Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to ask Ian Gillan to be the original Jesus Christ in Jesus Christ Superstar - it is him singing on the original soundtrack though he never reprised the role in the film due to his Deep Purple commitments.

Each one a musical genius in their own right - together, just pure magic! No autotune, electronic wizadry or more modern 'polished' instruments - just insane storytelling where every instrument balances perfectly (and I include the voice as an instrument)

For me best TV performance i have seen.

[HCH]

Music of my as we pitch correction, no
The audience in TV studios in these days was told to stay calm and they did.
Ian Gillan on that one is
Funny thing I remember...it was hard to dance on
First part was perfect to clinge with your girl....but when was right moment to let
A great classic in my age knows

The 'blind man shooting at the world' was a metaphor for the war machine that was currently ginning up the Viet Nam war. The audience were requested to be still because they were filming the video. This was a common practice back then. I love Deep Purple and they have a large and varied catalog. For me, this is the best song they ever did, and this version in particular is even better than the studio version on their 'In Rock' album.

Deep purple was my first concert at 13 years old I talked my mom into taking me and 3 friends a 100 miles to the first concert in the Houston Astrodome with 45k other fans and the rest is history

[anderslarsen]

It is one of the greatest rock band ever

[markusjackel]

Well...this is a Masterclass. 5 Musicians, a Container-Ship-Load of Talent and some is legendary. Compare this to nowadays music and you will find very few bands that come
I am so happy I have seen them Live and that they were part of my blessed.
Nice Reaction again - seemed you liked it too 🙂
If you need more Deep Purple - Try Highway Star...or a longer one....Lazy from "Made in Japan"...you will love it.

[Fuxerz]

Ritchie Blackmore top 3 guitarist in the world in his day. Rip Jon Douglas Lord 😢 🙏

[uncnorseman]

The Made In Japan version, also live with no overdubs, just pure talent bordering on supernatural, kills this, but it is still an amazing performance. My favorite live group of all time, at least this lineup.

[nestornugpo]

One of the iconic song to live by👍👍👍💙❤💙

Classic RnR ! Highway Star is probably my favorite of theirs

[perrycleese]

One of my favourite bands, amazing to grow up listening to this and then seeing them live. Last time live was in Edinburgh (Scotland) late 80s/ early 90s and here I am going to see them again in 2024 in Glasgow is a bit crazy (to me)! ( three members from this concert will be performing (lead singer- Ian, Drums - Iain, Bass -Roger). ❤

[markspencer]

I was 5 at this time. But I did manage to see Deep Purple 2 times in the 80s. One of the best live albums is Deep Purple Made in Japan. Great album. Oh yea I’m a TW fan.

[mikeconway]

Great Reaction, Red! One of the original 'heavy metal' bands.

[mikedown]

Deep Purple have gone through numerous lineup changes over the years but this mark II lineup is recognised as the best. Ian Gillan on vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord on keyboards, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums. Believe it or not, they are still going and have just released another album. Ian Gillan, Ian Paice and Roger Glover are still part of the band. Ian Paice, the drummer is the only member who has been there throughout.
