My first concert-age 13. I was right on the stage-so loud-Lord's keyboard hovering above me. Blackmore breaks a string. Roadie doesnt bring him a new guitar but instead a replacement string. Blackmore puts it on in 20 seconds-in time for the solo. When the show is over I hop up on stage and grab that broken string as a souvenir-then sit on the edge of the stage and talk to my friends. Not a single security or roadie bothers me. Evansville Indiana-Roberts Stadium. Billy Preston opened. 1971....Rocks greatest year ever. So grateful I got to live in the greatest ever era of music.

Everyone talks about the main melody, but that organ part is where the fire is!

[thomasgood]

Purple with Ritchie Blackmore. Excellent.

[kyonsirius]

One of the most classical and recognizable riffs of all time of Rock.

[Kirbydp]

The best rock band I have ever heard in my life, I have known them since 2022 and I started listening to child in time and then highway star, smoke on the water and all their albums I understood that this was the band that my mind was looking for for 7 years, I hope to meet you one day, Long live rock and Deep Purple🎸

[damianodidomenico]

I wonder if they knew they were making history, when recording it.
Tickles the soul.

[debranelson]

The opening guitar riff is simply classic...long live Deep Purple.

[ozzraven]

[kulzkez]

Still one of the greatest riffs. Still listening at 76.

Waiting 52 years to release an official video is the definition of patience! 🤣

[dazhdbog]

When I listen to the "Machine Head" in my apartment, I make it loud. Neighbors call the police. The police come and arrest the neighbors.

Smoke On The Water is timeless. I've enjoyed for over 50 years and it never gets old.
