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).

This performance is required viewing for everyone who has never seen or heard of Deep Purple. Their live album Made in Japan is a top 5 live album ever for me. Many great bangers. Woman From Tokyo, Smoke On The Water, Highway Star, Burn, Space Truckin, Hush, Stormbringer, Lazy just to name a few. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin are referred to as the “unholy trinity” of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid 1970’s. Great song, great reaction. 🔥🤘

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.

I saw Deep Purple live at the Cloverleaf race track that used to be in Cleveland. It was in the late 70s. 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.

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 …

Last saw them over 30 years ago and can’t get my head around I will see them in November (24). Just crazily amazing ❤. (Lead singer,drummer and bassist them same!). Yours a (relatively) young 60 year old from Scotland 😎❤️

I saw them a few weeks ago in Germany (open air) they are still very good. Have fun.

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

My man. Really appreciate this, cheers.

That's why I love rock. There are so many good bands and songs. I live my rap and hip hop too but it was nice to see your amazement. At this epic performance.
