I know right!:)

Well better late than never!

Yep. That is so strange. Where did she live? :-)))

Exactly

@@whitex4652 It's more like "when did she live?" She's far too young to have come of age in the 60s/70s.

There was some amazing music back in the day, but don't overlook the fact that 99% of the music back then was forgettable crap too.

I appreciated the legendary rock singers and groups but never dreamed that popular music would devolve so far. I suppose if disco can happen anything is possible.

@@fnglert 99% of it was crap so you must be able to name a bunch of bands. Which are the ones that sucked so bad?

​....forgettable crap that is still better than 99% of what's out today.

UFO - lights out still holds true today

Robert Plant wanted that gig and Gillan beat him out of it. He said Ian Gillian could only sing 12 bars octaves. He's not a real singer.😂 Jealousy, anyone?😂

There's a certain irony in your ending statement cause lots of people back then would've said this isn't real music anymore if they need electric instruments, loud amplifiers and loads of screaming.

Times have changed. The human voice (as heard here) has so much grit and emotion. The way they use canned voice reproduction today is destruction of art (or a lack of talent). At least we still have Chris Stapleton and some other "real vocalists" making today's music.

​@@DerEchteBoldNo one would have said that in 1970. Also, there is no screaming.

@@Brian-qn7fn Of course they did, practically everyone who wasn't into 'modern' music would've said that, it was always that way, some people actually still do nowadays. And you really don't think people who were into any kind of more traditional music wouldn't have perceived this as screaming? Come on! I found some quotes: Pat Boone: “Rock and roll is the most brutal, ugly, degenerate, vicious form of expression it has been my displeasure to hear.” Frank Sinatra: “Rock and roll smells phony and false. It is sung, played, and written for the most part by cretinous goons. And, by means of its almost imbecilic reiteration, and sly, lewd, in plain fact, dirty lyrics… it manages to be the martial music of every sideburned delinquent on the face of the earth.”

@@DerEchteBold smartass

Is that the Broadway album?

@@Dreckmal01 Yes it is. The Original Broadway Soundtrack. Ian Gillan was Jesus.

Wrong.. it’s the original first concept album. Everything else copied this from Broadway to the movie.

Beat me to it!

@@ponytrekker8996 wow! Consider my mind blown.

I agree

Uriah Heep, Budgie, Wishbone Ash, Free, Thin Lizzy and much more.

Pink Floyd, ELP, Queen, Yes, Procol Harum, Manfred Mann's Earth Band...

Rush, ELP, Pink Floyd

Excellent reaction! Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple: Sacred Triumvirate that created Heavy Metal...But undoubtedly Black Sabbath is the main band in the context of the creation of Heavy Metal...By the way, for me, Black Sabbath, especially the 70s, is the biggest band in the history of popular music in general, with an immeasurable magnitude in terms of musical influence, mainly in relation to Rock and especially in relation to Heavy Metal...Greetings from Brazil!!!

At that time I lived in a house full of musicians. My roommate brought that CD home after work one day. He stopped by Peaches records and purchased quite a few CD'S from that trip. Needless to say we had a very up to date stereo system in that house with top shelf equipment. Teac, Pioneer, Cerwin Vega speakers. We got so high and played that CD..... I'll never forget that Friday evening. I never saw DP live but I did see rainbow on the Straight Between the Eyes tour at the Toledo Sports Arena in Toledo Ohio. My sister in law took me because I was like 15 years old. Opening acts? Believe it or not, Iron Maiden and 38 Special. In that order. We had a wonderful time at that strange bill of a concert. Toledo Ohio had some of the greatest concerts back then. They all came to the sports area home of the Toledo Goal Diggers. Always general admission. Rush Ratt Ozzy Ac DC Van Halen Sammy Haggar before Van Halen Ted Nugent Aerosmith Name a band worth seeing and they played The Toledo Sports Arena. Usually it was under 10 bucks. From 1980 to 1984 it was the place to go if you lived in NW Ohio.

I don't agree. Most of their music before Perfect Strangers is of better quality as new hard rock. And it's a stronger achievement because they created the genre as they made it. Later it was easier to just repeat the essentials in new ways and refining it. The album Deep Purple In Rock was the top mark of this style of hard rock.

Also they didn't necessarily know what kind of act they'll see, probably just came to watch a tv show production and lots of 'em might've disliked this kind of music.

The cameraman should have been instructed to not get too close to Ian Gillan.He practically smacked into him.

@@DerEchteBold There were probably a lot of strangers there, but besides them there were also friends of musicians. Among the spectators you can easily notice footballer George Best, a friend of Ian Gillan, so some of the spectators definitely knew what to expect, and besides, Child In Time had already been present in the group’s repertoire for a year.

@@oksteve6368 Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore - he loves the cameras and the cameras love him. 😊

@@DerEchteBold Nonsense. They knew exactly what they came for. Do you think the famous people who were there just accidently stumbled in?

@@spazzyklutz75 Its one thing to be influenced (which is absolutely true, he was) but you still have to be able to do the business. :-) Many musicians are influenced by another. But unless you have the skills.....and Lord had the skills....nobody will remember you. He was " a useful source of tricks" for Lord....and Lord made full use of the tricks he learned.....and some.

John Medeski.

The second verse when Jon Lord comes back in the second verse with the piano and he does that flurry sequence with his fingers, that is a variation on flight of the bumblebee

@@ponytrekker8996 you've been watching Elizabeth :-)

I didn't know all those details. Very interesting, thanks!

Well, no band is perfect

Same here 😊

Paicey's swing always gives DP their jazz feel. He's a severely underrated legend

@phred23 Exactly spot on. Ian Paice was once asked why DP play all those solos and improvisation and his answer was, " because we can." Deep Purple could do what other bands couldn't.

A very valid point.

Far and away, Deep Purple's best lineup.

This is NOT a Deep Purple original tune - it was a direct lift of Bombay Calling by It's A Beautiful Day but at half the speed. Purple just added lyrics.

Rock audiences at that time, at least in the UK where rock was invented and refined, considered it the done thing to sit and pay attention to the music. As opposed to pop fans jumping round shouting.

The audience was to asked to remain seated during the performance because it was being recorded for broadcast.. it was from a tv show that was on in the UK back in the early 70s

I've been jamming on old live The Who broadcasts and concerts. Absolutely amazing. I liked the Who but was never a fan boy back in the day. What showmen the were.

Preach it!

My teenage years too.

There is plenty of music that's great today.. just don't listen to contemporary pop. The Metal scene is going super strong right now.

Ian Gillan was the Greatest Rock Vocalist 1971 to 1974 then Dio came along. Blackmore and Lord were the two greatest Rock Musicians EVER.

King Crimson

@@phanispal5069 King Crimson never had a vocalist like Ian Gillan, but they were excellent musicians, like Yes.

Ridiculous - high pitching screaming isn’t art …it’s screaming

@@ninoorjon He did not have the range or dynamic vocal abilites of Gillan but John Wetton was far from mediocre vocalist. On top of being an absolute beast of a bass player Wetton had one of the most distinct warmest vocal tones ever.

@@GeriatricHippo I can’t argue with that, and I love Lake too.

Ian Gillian was not the original lead vocalist of the band. Rod Evans was the original lead singer but was not with the band for very long. Rod Evans sang the lead on DP cover of "Hush".

So true

Yes, when you're playing in a band, you are always looking for small markings in a song, just to know, when it comes to the next section of the song.

It's funny, because it's usually, the drummer and bass player (rhythm section) that does this, but in a guitar solo it has to be the guitarist that gives the signal he is done

@@ericjohnson2137 Just because, nobody knows when the solo's over.😅

He wasn't "surprised". He'd been quoted at least 2 years earlier the he considered Gillan to be one of the best singers he'd ever heard.

Is there a video recording of that performance?

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNBxisWLsp6-dJs.html&pp=ygUhaWFuIGdpbGxhbiBwYXZhcm90dGkgbmVzc3VuIGRvcm1h

​@@theorc9098He called him genius and wanted to make a record with him. They were on touch...

I've said it before but I must say it again, I saw them live because I liked Black Sabbath and when Ian Gillan started to sing I was blown away the whole group is the epitome of greatness so when I heard Led Zeppelin live I preferred them in the studio a disappointment live. I saw Deep Purple a second time and they were stupendous . To this day I consider Ian Gillan to be the best Rock singer ever, as for the other two Bands I would not go to a live performance ever again. Deep Purple are Masters of their craft

@@genabourassa7962 I wish I'd seen that classic line up live but with Blackmore being Blackmore that wasn't a chance. I did see them in the mid 90s where it was 4/5 of them plus Morse. That was probably my second favourite iteration of DP and they were epic live.

@@andrewdavidson665 It was 1972 and tickets to see live performances was a mere 10. 00 so I couldn't imagine how much it would be to see them now but because of my experience I would pay the current price
