Tommy's performance is definitely not bad, I wouldn't say it would make it onto my playlist, but I would gladly listen to such a performance at a concert.

Tommy did it again, he really do everything better wow💥💥

Child in time live with DP is as good as it gets, these are epic. Very bad choice to compare a studio cover with that. Tommy doing a wonderful job as always, but the right thing to do is to compare it with a studio version.

Great reaction to Deep Purple. Audience were told if I remeber correctly to be quiete and not move as it was being filmed live on the British TV show "Doing Their Thing". Ian Gillian had a tremendous voice - he sang the role of Jesus in the original recording of Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar. Great bass, drums and organ

No one can beat the musicians in DP 😊 But Tommy does a brilliant job by playing all the instruments himself. And I would say that it is a smart move if you are now going to do a cover of Child in time 😊

Wikipedia: Ian Gillan said that the organ riff in "Child in Time" is based on It's a Beautiful Day's 1969 song "Bombay Calling". It's a Beautiful Day in return borrowed Purple's "Wring That Neck" and turned it into "Don and Dewey" on their second album Marrying Maiden (1970). The song started with organist Jon Lord playing "Bombay Calling", which the band then re-arranged and changed the structure. Gillan had never heard the original song, and created lyrics about the Cold War to fit the music, later saying it "reflected the mood of the moment". The band then worked out instrumental lines to accompany this.

Nadie se comprará jamás con Deep Purple!!! 💜💜💜💜💜

I don't really see how this is in any way a fair comparison. The Deep Purple version was done in the 70s, with the technology available (no auto -tune for example). The Tommy Johansson version however was recorded in a studio type environment with all the digital gizmos available to mankind.

Tommy out-tommied himself, again

[@Наталья-ы6я2г]

Child in time Petr Elfimov wow❤

[@γιωργοςροδιτης-σ9ε]

If you liked that performance you should listen the Made in japan version.Ten times better!!!

[@Jonsson474]

Richie Blackmore forever.

The audience were so emotionless during the performance because they were told by the BBC to do so...And only cheer after...🤓

1 all time great song with meaning and reasons as to why each part is played in the way it is, turned into a good modern song losing all its intricacies and nuances, ultimately destroying its meaning and turning it into just another metal song! This does not mean Tommy did not do a good cover, I certainly enjoyed it but sorry it was not even close to the original and as I said just lost all of the meaning.
