One of the all time best songs of the 70's.
I'm 68 and it still blows my mind. Thanks Deep Purple

Still gives me the goosebumps 53 years later. I am 70 now. Thanks Deep Purple .

John Lord, best organ player ever. Ritchie Blackmore, guitar genius. Ian Gillian, most underrated voice in Rock n Roll. Deep Purple, one of the most unique bands in history.

[blackfoot]

Zeppelin, Sabbath and Deep Purple the holy trinity of rock music from the 70s

Ian Gillan is one of the truly great singers. The controlled screams are legendary.

Something you can watch a hundred times and it’s not enough. Truly spectacular.

Maybe, this is the most historical live show in the music industry. All the band members are totally living it, and the sound from the instruments is JUST perfect.I’ve listened to this song on the radio so many times, so i don’t love it there, but the LIVE experience here is something else. It’s just like an anthem. God bless Deep purple, this is good music for real.🤟

This song is the blueprint for metal. Others had attempted before but every component is here.

[bryanstoll]

The only guy I've seen that can Scream into a microphone and it makes perfect sense! One of best of the 20th century!

[raymangamers]

This song is a masterpiece, one of the best of all time

[audiophileman]

Without a single doubt, this is one of the greatest hard rock performances of all time. 😻

[jurgenkunert]

Lord, Blackmoore, Peace, Gillan und Glover.... sie waren der Zeit voraus. Unbeschreiblich gut.

[HeidrunPlautz]

Meine erste LP, geschenkt von meinen Eltern. Wow, das war 1973. Ich war 13... Ich höre Child in Time immer noch gerne. Wirklich eine wundervolle Leistung 🎉

[ralphstalnecker]

I bought this album when I was 13, I am 64 now and that scream still sends chills up my spine!!

[eddyvandermeirsch]

This song is a masterpiece. I can't believe it's been over 50 years since it was released. I remember listening to this song when I was a kid.It's great to see that it's still popular today.

[ybshim]

This live is the most perfect version of this song. When I heard first time, I doubt my ears... Incredible screaming and instruments were balanced perfectly without any dissonance. It is real masterpiece!!!

This really is a glimpse into pure artistry in action. It’s a masterpiece!
