He was briefly the lead singer for Black Sabbath, after Ozzy left and before Dio, I believe. The album with the demon baby, for sure. I remember how funny it was to me that he was the lead in both Black Sabbath and Jesus Christ Superstar (the good audio version that got radio time, the original stage recording, not the movie/soundtrack).

There’s no trinity. It was a hierarchy, in both breadth and scope of music and popularity, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath.

[@lyvmyk9988]

You know what is weird about my generation? We took this level of music for granted. We expected this level of excellence from our musical heroes. We all grew up practicing piano, organ, trumpet, violin, drums. We studied the classics, big band, jazz, the Blues. At some point in the 50's we switched to guitars and electric basses. We sang in choirs. We listened to early trend setters. We learned lessons from those that came before us. And more importantly we knew what great music sounded like. Leonard Bernstein knew it when he heard the early Beatles. George Martin knew it. Berry Gordy knew it. We were 25 years in the making and we did not disappoint.

[@pamela1144]

Welcome to deep purple. When I was a little kid in the mid-90s we lived in Moscow Russia and we had a private driver that drove us to where we needed to be for work and school. He learned English from deep purple. I listen to every album they had. Listened to every album on cassette tape. I still have the actual cassettes. When we moved back to the States we moved to Detroit Michigan and the new thing was the backstreet boys and I didn't understand it. I thought it was junk and I wanted to listen to rock and roll.

Billy Preston opened for them doing “go round in circles” That was the first time I ever heard Billy. He was so good the crowd was jumping! Then came deep purple. Smoke on the water just blew my mind. The speakers were all around the racetrack. The sound just surrounded you and enveloped you. It was magic.

I grew up in this generation. There was so many great musicians, bands, and songs, coming out one after another, we knew deep down we had something special. It wasn't until things started to change, go down hill as far as real talent and skill was concerned, along with great songs, then did we realized just how great we really had it in the music world. Music was our world. By the 80s, when some great things were starting again to come out, things were looking up...but... I was listening to the old stuff long before they called it classic rock. I just didn't care for most of what was new, and some was down right horrible, yet the music corporation were promoting all of it. Unheard of in our day. Our music is timeless.

Living in London in the 70s, my landlady’s son was one of DP’s lawyers and he gave me a couple of tickets to see a show. As a 17 year old having lived in Africa all of my life up until then, I had had little or no exposure to rock music, this concert was my initiation to a journey which has lasted over half a century now. It was an eye (and ear) opener! I can’t forget the sensation of the bass thumping through my body, and the absolute awe I felt when I heard this song for the first time. Later saw the Mk 3 lineup with Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale (also excellent!) and was fortunate enough to be at the only live representation of Roger Glover’s Butterfly Ball with an all star lineup at the Royal Albert Hall. Ah, to be young again …

I’m so glad you reacted to this….one of my all time favorite songs. I saw Deep Purple live one time in the 70s, in the UK, where I’m originally from.

It is a wondaful thing to see pure joy on somebodies face to music you have loved for many years ... "this will be a long video" no problem buddy take all the time you need to absorb this amazing classic ..

I saw this iteration of Purple 5 times, but I would have sold my soul to have been in the audience for this performance!

[@anthonydawson8080]

Thank you so much for noticing the bass. It goes overlooked a lot

We have an old boomer band who does these songs, led zeppelin etc. 50+ years of band practice, they kill it everytime. Pro tip: if you ever get to see an old man rock band in a dive bar in rural area, do it. Big Bear Bar &Grill in SoCal does it best.❤

50-some years later and this STILL gives me CHILLS!! 💯🤘

These guys were my first concert. It was the Perfect Strangers album tour back in 84 I think. I was in high school.

In the UK, we never play or speak of that person you mention, for a reason, nowadays (not due to him being from the USA or his ethnicity). This astounding live late evening TV performance of Deep Purple in 1970 was in the studios of Granada Television in Manchester (North West England ITV), also home of the best and longest running 'soap' in the world, 'Coronation Street'. The set is right up there with the other revolutionary group of the time, Led Zeppelin, also from the England.

I hadn't ever heard of Deep Purple before. I"M CALLING OUT ALL MY FELLOW PROGRESSIVE METAL FANS listening to this. If you don't love this, then you've totally missed what's great about progressive metal. Released 40-50 years later, this is easily a prog metal hit.

One hell of a performance 🎉🎉🎉❤ and as you say the level of talent and musicianship is second to none 😊😊🤷‍♂️👍👍👍💙💙💙

Deep Purple was the greatest collection of talent in rock!

[@PabloGarciaHernandez-nj7ju]

saw deep purple on their perfect strangers tour in ‘84 with my best friend. This song blew us away - until I saw Swans later in life, this was the single LOUDEST and most intense show i’d ever experienced

[@jamescassady8476]

I'm so grateful you got to play you let the whole song play because I was at the concert and they go so long because we were all doing acid so thank you very much
