Deep Purple - Child In Time - First Time Reaction

Deep Purple - Child In Time

Let's just start with the voice shall we. The voacl range, so impressive. The effortless playing of instruments, fingers moving so rapidly they almost blurred with the speed. Such skill on display here! How the audience managed to sit stock still throughout the whole performance was beyond me!

I do not own the rights to the music or video

There is a song called "When a blind man cries." Written by Deep Purple but performed live by the singer Ian Gillan with his own band. The vocal quality is close to his performance here.
It amazes me that the songs I grew up with are unknown to recent generations. Your enthusiasm for the music is appreciated.

The BBC studio audience were told to keep their response muted and you can see that here. This is a legendary live performance.

This is DP Mk2, the best line-up imho. Jon Lord (RIP) on his cutdown and modified Hammond organ fed thru a stack of Marshall amps is mind blowing. Lead guitarist Ritchie Blackmore is probably the greatest and most underrated guitarists ever. He formed a group called Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio after DP broke up in 1975 (you really should check them out - Stargazer and its sequel A Light in the Black is epic, along with Kill the King, Tarot Woman, Do You Close Your Eyes and Starstruck). Deep Purple reformed with Mk2 in 1984 and released Perfect Strangers. Ian Paice is one of the best drummers of the time and Roger Glover is often overlooked for his work in the engine room on bass guitar. What more can be said about Ian Gillan’s voice? Unbelievable. Welcome to the music of my late teens and early 20s.

Unbelievable musicians and my favourite Purple song of all time. The guitar solo in the studio album is my favourite of all time!

Everytime I see a reaction to this video I've gotta watch. I watch to see if anyone catches Gillan leap at the camera when it's in his face and you're one of the few who did. Cracks me up everytime. More Purple please. Peace

Uriah Heep were often compared to Deep Purple.
Both excellent Bands.
Brilliant performance here.

Deep Purple are still an amazing live band. I already saw them twice this year and I'm looking forward to a few more concert in October. Ian Gillan will turn 79 next Monday and you cannot expect him to hit these high notes anymore. But that's totally fine with me. The new album as fantastic and as the musicianship is concerned they are still concidered the best.

[markdrechsler]

Ian Paice on drums, another great drummer. DP are most commonly associated with their keyboard player, Jon Lord. Another deep rabbit hole.

The quality of this video is so incredible that people forget that this was filmed over half a century ago and the idea of filming live music in front of a live audience was very new in those days.

[michaellomax]

Glad you chose this one and liked it. My favourite song from the album 'In Rock'. Ian Gillan gave Robert Plant a run for his money with his vocal talents. Fantastic.

Pasado mañana se presentan en mi país, Chile, esroy tan emocionada 😃❤

[jaymez]

I'm really enjoying your reactions. Your enthusiasm is great. You really seem to appreciate the music. Keep up the good work. 🤘

[jamiereed]

Great reaction! I love Deep Purple! You should do Hard Lovin Man next the official video. It also shows off Ian's amazing screams!

[skateroo]

Saw them in ‘84; when they did the stop in the middle it was so tight it echoed off the back of the stadium

[lazarus]

I saw them live 1971 1972 in Glasgow awesome band.The Yes of today is a Steve Howe tribute band.Without Jon Anderson there is no Yes.

[steevenfrost]

It was recorded in Granada TV Studio's. Yes they were told to be quite still. I read that some staff from Granada studios some could have been curious and not that bothered about this new music. Ifit was aconcert setting probably the audience reaction would have been wild.

[lawrencesantana]

I like your reaction to this song. Your funny. Im glad you liked the song. Now give a listen to "perfect strangers" by these guys. You will love it. This band is still active.

[steevenfrost]

They knew each others feel and were in the groove they had a kind of telepathy understanding so they could stop at that moment.

[nealjones]

Amazing track not seen the video for a long time Superb

[ryanr]

These guys rock! Ian Gillan is an amazing vocalist. Did one album with Sabbath also. A future taste treat. Also, is the voice of Jesus on the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack.

Also really love keyboardist, John Lord. One of the very best. RIP. Akin to Wakeman of Yes.

Ty for reaction good sir. 🥃 cheers.
