People born in the 60s and 70s are the most luckiest to have grown up listening to the most amazing rock music ever.... Deep purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Lynyard Skynyrd, Kiss... just to name a few.... I'm truly blessed.. each time I listen I am taken back to my school days... best days ever...

This song never gets old especially when you were a teen in the 70s growing up to it.

I was a high school senior when this song came out. I still marvel at the incredible music of the late sixties and seventies. Such a lucky time to be alive….never grows old.

I Was the luckiest fucker in the world. I grew up with the best music from the 50s through the 80s. I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world.

Jon Lord's electric organ is so under rated in this song. Blackmore's guitar is great but the organ played through the Marshall stack gives this song it's true signature sound.

Aside from this song, deep Purple is a hugely underrated rock band

The National Anthem of the 70s

They are simply legends. This song is iconic. Thank you Deep Purple!

Oh god I love hearing Lord's infectious keyboard. You never realize how crucial keyboard is in metal or rock music until you listen to a song without it. Obviously a song that normally has keyboard. Deep Purple wouldn't sound the same without Lord's playing. We need more metal keyboard players.

One of the greatest songs in the history of Rock!

02:00 - I see a young guy mouthing the riff, in 1972 5 days ago, in 2023, I saw a young girl and her group mouthing the riff in Bangalore, India, as Deep Purple rocked it out, 51 years since the day it came out. Just as the crowd was chanting last week, I'll say it as well - DEEP PURPLE! DEEP PURPLE!

I happened to score a ticket at the last moment in '73 to see Deep Purple in Vancouver B.C. This was about the same time as this video. I walked out a changed person, from then on it was every Deep Purple album. I can still play most of the Live In Japan album and still have my original copy, very well worn. I've had it in every form up to CD. Blackmore's guitar playing changed my life, I got to tour with my own band, we never made it anywhere, but we had a damned fine time trying.

Пурпурные Музыканты. С большой буквы .В 11 лет услышал их первый раз .на кассетной "Весна -306" старшего брата.Это казалось чем-то не реальным. сверх естественным .На других кассетах были записи Блэк саббат . Назарет. Юрайа хип и другие высококлассные команды . но лишь эти ребята запали в душу. Мне 53 . Слушаю их до сих пор

Дым над водой, и огонь в небе... слушаю Deep Purple с 69 года. Old Russian man, 65 years old, Gillan is the best...

That incredible voice! It mesmerized me back in the early seventies and still mesmerizes me today! One of the all-time greats.

One of my favorite bands saw them in 1973 at cloverleaf speedway in Cleveland Ohio. Over an hour late fans so restless they had fires all over and it got really really scary m-80’s started going off. Was frightened someone would seriously get hurt. They showed up and delivered and i mean DELIVERED! My ears rang for three days afterword. Etched in my memory forever🙏🙏🙏

действительно - три ноты, которые потрясли мир!!! браво!!! жаль Лорд ушёл. очень жаль. тихо, без шумихи, как все гении на земле.

Deep Purple is the BEST in the Rock and Roll .....Great time to be a teenager with great groups in the 70's . Great song "Smoke on the water" 🎼🎼❤️❤️

My uncle introduced me to Deep Purple when I was a kid around 1973. This song blew my little mind... and I've been a huge fan ever since! Full circle now my kid loves it too! Their Live In Concert dvd (72/73) has this on it.

One of the iconic live performances, never ever bettered, fantastic

Обожаю Гилона,особенно эту композицию и Дитя во времени.Гилон это классика,а опера Иисус Христос,это шедевр.Браво!!!!

Amazing how their live versions are always better than the studio ones!

i cannot stop watching this. it never EVER gets old.

What a cooperative audience; No drugs, just pure concentration of one of the most formidable bands before them!

This was the first record I bought 40 plus years ago and it still is my favorite!!! Long live Deep Purple!!!

Blown away. Ian screaming at the top of his lungs , great riff. Great band great song.

What a great voice - I love this man, I love this band❣️❣️❣️❣️

Deep Purple con Ian Guillan, Richie Blackmore con su guitarra fender stratocaster, que rock espectacular, junto con Led Zepellin, Yes, Pink Floyd, Emerson-Lake and Palmer......son una maravilla musical inigualable, gracias por tanta belleza musical. Ricky desde Tucumán - Argentina.

Jon Lord was the best with his organ. Love the way he rocks it.🎶

Nothing against Glenn Hughes & David Coverdale, but this version of the band is still my favorite. Ian Gillan was born a rock god. Love his voice

Filmed during a US concert in New York City at Hofstra University in Hempstead, Long Island, in colour. It features the only known video recording of "Smoke on the Water", performed by the original Mark II lineup.

That guitarist probably knew he had a cool riff, but i doubt he realized he was playing what would become, arguably the most recognizable riff in rock history.

One of the best band of all time, great music

The greatest riff in rock history. You youngsters out there, take a listen to how we used to rock back in the 70's. When you talk classic rock you talk about the 70's and Smoke On The Water is one of those classics!

As a teen in the 80s this song was well known and the Purple were a legend. I thank them for regrouping and giving us the Perfect Strangers gem. So much talent.

First song I played on my keyboard in a rock band when I was in my teens! This song is iconic! Never gets old. Spans the ages. Thank you Deep Purple for your incredible music.

Deep Purple Mark II is the GREATEST rock and roll band that EVER existed, man!!

This is classic - the guitar riff is legend. I have always loved how the different instruments come in. These men ROCK! THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD TIME TO BE GROWING UP.

Going to my first party this was playing and really grabbed my attention. Great rock music of the time from this band.

Just an awesome song played by an awesome band. This song is timeless. 🎶🎶

This song is timeless. 🎶

I had this album when I was a teenager. Deep Purple was one of a kind .

Ritchie just created the most iconic riff ever

Imagine all the beginner guitarists who wouldn’t know anything if somebody hadn’t burned down a building

this live version sounds better than the original version One of the greatest songs in the history of Rock!

The greatest Jon Lord, RIP! You had all the talent. Still love you brother and it was a great speech.

No soy de esa época,pero uno de mis grupos de rock favorito,hincha de su música por lo que hicieron y lo que significó y trascendió y hoy sigue vigente,saludos desde lima,peru

in the era of 70s deep purple with gillan, ritchie blackmore, lord, glover and paice were solid and captured their worlwide popularity as one of the super group rock bands on earth

Только сам Господь, лично, мог одарить Йена и красотой, и невероятным голосом, и толь Сам Господь свел этих ребят в нужное время в нужном месте на радость простым почитателям великолепной музыки!!!!!!!!

My favorite song of all time. I'm sure I'm not the only one who drives faster when it's played.

I'm still loving this song. Love the vocal.

1972-Deep Purple 2003-School Of Rock 2012-Vevo 2019-Wow

Deep Purple is the BEST inductee in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! :)

I saw them in concert in the early 70’s. What I remember most is that my GF and future wife fell asleep during the concert. Yes, I still married her. Go figure. And still married.

Wow!!! How they played off each other so brilliantly!!! It’s amazing

группа супер, я на них вырос. а мне уже 60 жаль., что больше нет таких ребят!!!

Мне скоро 60 ,но эти песни услышал еще в юности и больше никогда не забывал.

Saw Ian Gillan perform around 2008 in SF. Even without Richie Blackmore they were stunningly good, tight and abolutely perfect. Loved it.!

One of the first albums that I bought. R.E.O. Speedwagon T.W.O. and Machinehead was bought the same week. I remember seeing Deep Purple on TV playing outdoors on what looked to be tall scaffolding outside. It was a great show. I went out and had to have the album.

Deep Purple ? Difficile d'exprimer par des mots cette perfection. Merci pour ces moments de bonheur.

Best live version I've ever heard by miles!!🤘🤘

Blackmore, Gillan, Lord, Paice e Glover tinham uma química perfeita, cinco gênios do hard rock

I remember this coming out back in the day and I've heard it a million times. But this is the first time I've seen this clip. Swapping the guitar solo for an organ break was an inspired move and really sends the track into orbit. Brilliant stuff

Love deep purple 🤘🏼 Thx to my dad I grew up listening to this band ❤️ And now after watching this I realise how good Ian looked back then 🥰

Back when talent mattered. Machine Head was the first Rock LP that I owned. Played it to death!

One of Deep Purple's greatest.👍🎶

Imagine, no auto-tune. Just raw, live music.

Great time to be a teenager with great groups in the 70's. Ian Gillian has one of the best singing voices in rock. And face to go with that!!!

That riff its soo badass... Wow! Ian looks & sounds fantastic!!!

One of the greatest bass line in the history of rock! 🤘🔥

I dont know how I survived my youth driving around drinking and blasting this song on 8 track in my camaro..thank God I did..I sure miss the ole music..❤

When I was 15, I thought that at 25 or 30, I would stop liking Deep Purple, and I would only listen to country ballads. Today almost to my fifties, my skin becomes like goosebumps when I listen to this song, 35 years later.

Fabulosa canción en todas sus versiones, clásica del pop, y de lo mejor que hay en él. Tube el gusto de bailarla en su época y aún ahora, varias décadas después, no ha perdido ni un ápice de su atractivo.

I saw Deep purple at the De Montfort hall , Leicester around 1973, an event that will always stay with me. Apart from music, I have a passion for Rugby Union. When I go down to Welford road to see my team, Leicester Tigers, I always get a double chill, as they play “smoke on the water” as the boys run out onto the pitch.

That bass line gets me every time

This was when awesome music was made by great musicians. It did not depend on computer generated sounds. Deep Purple rock on.🎶

Can you imagine being on stage while Richie is playing at this moment? Incredible

A timeless classic that I never get tired of hearing!

only just realised how good this is mm. 58 years young , taken a life time got it eventually

Fantastic live version !!! This is how to rock the right way !!!

Never gonna get tired of Ritchie Blackmore's solos!

Одна из моих любимых композиций любимой группы, пурпуров,,. Они великолепны, на все времена зад рока. Офигенное исполнение всеми участниками

1972 WAS A WILD YEAR , NIXON , THE OLYMPICS , VIETNAM , GREAT MUSIC , TIMES , RENTS 100.00 A MONTH !!!!

If you lived through these years, there is nothing that will replace this...

This song is rockin. Smoke on the water 🎼🎼❤️❤️

Hey Deep Purple I got no words Im thankful to hear this and feel with you

I always thought that Jon Lord's organ playing gave Deep purple's music a class that it would have missed otherwise. RIP Mr. Lord.

Such a shame that Ian and Richie could not get along, such magic in the early days.

An era that I would love to stay 67-74.. cannot go wrong in the music world ?

What a riff... played by almost every band on the planet! \m/

RIP Jon Lord, a master of keyboards... heavy metal-hard rock god... ImI

Love Jon Lord's playing on the renowned Hammond (B3 and C3) The best organ keyboards for rock music, combined with fantastic Leslie's which Lord was also renowned for using. Legendary to say the least.

I remember playing this song through my new Bose 901's ....the neighborhood was never the same

love ian gillen's singing. such a great collection of talent R.I.P. Jack Lord this song is timeless and richie blackmore is awesome

Just love everything about this great song. Rock on.🎶

Господи, какое счастье, что моя молодость была с ними!

This song is very special to me. I was listening to this when I was 4 yrs old, it was my favorite song (My father's influence). So instead of singing and listening to nursery rhymes I played this over and over again. And maybe this is why I love rock music so much.

Watching Ritchie Blackmore play this iconic riff with his thumb is sublime. It's like he knew in the future 90% of young guitar players would play the riff wrong and he's just saying, "hey cats, check this out. I'm playing it with my THUMB...." Absolutely incredible.

Still love it after all these years! Classic rock!

The most Iconic, Iconic Heavy Metal Anthem Song Ever!! This whole band is so Hot!! on this song, that I'm surprised that the building they were talking about did not burn down because of them playing this song, They were Cooking!!! Especially the Lead Singer and Keyboardist!! One of the all time great riffs by Ritchie Blackmore!! A Beavus and Butthead favorite.
