I would absolutely love you see your reaction to pink floyd "the great gig in the sky" although I would suggest so that you get the full context of the song you should first listen to the song "time" because it comes first on the album. Love your reactions.

[@vietnguyen4312]

You need to remember this was live in 1970. There was no KZbin or internet to seek and source vocal techniques. No vocal teachers had even heard metal vocals back then. In fact metal never even existed. These guys pretty much had no one to copy which demonstrated the uniqueness and originality of music during this time. To put it simply this song is pure brilliance.

[@marcos061059]

What a great reply. These guys were inventing the whole genre as they went.

[@JBROWN-kw2cy]

no offence intended ,, but you cant learn to do this, the lyrics written by Ian are core to the emotion he puts in this song. hitting a note can be taught, singing from your guts cant

“Child in Time” is the vocal elite. .Few and few can bring something so big to the surface. With "Child in Time" a star was placed in the sky of rock and there, on top, it continues to shine. We will not go back to it, we simply have to continue contemplating that milky way in which Deep Purple entered, It is more… they have several stars.

[@JacoWium]

Brilliant description, María!

[@neverlandxx73]

Dear Maggie, you need to react to Ian Gillan singing Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar. Ian is singing it in the released concept album. That was before the musical was created and he didn't follow up on that because of a conflicting schedule with Deep purple. But he nailed *no pun intended* the song better than anyone else after him. (ps he also did the and like I said nailed the whole album in just three hours and then he went on stage with Deep Purple the same day)

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your suggestion. 😊

[@Buffaloheart68]

Not Christian, but Ian Gillan as Jesus is awesome as is the whole album.

[@albertabi]

I saw them in the summer of 1970 in The Plumpton Jazz Festival performing Black Night before its release on 45rpm single.

[@kinesjl]

I love Gillan's voice, Pavarotti said it best when he called it a "force of nature". The crescendos are reinforced falsetto and the slow vibrato is intended to give it a haunting quality and contrast with HHD uptempo changes the rest of the song is iirc his regular voice. I'm not certain who said he's a baritone but Ian is actually a tenor. Another tenor I think you might enjoy is Midnight from Crimson Glory. He was an E2-B5 tenor with fabulous phrasing and a rare talent for emotional inflection. Check out Eternal World or In Dark Places from the Transcendence album.

[@graziacagna7223]

He was really INSANE singing Getsemany...

[@marcodebruin5370]

What really blows my mind in this performance is the perfectly synchronised ending of the (chaotic sounding) crescendos. As if there was an invisible director signalling them (especially since it's not quite the same as on the studio version, it doesn't sound rehearsed at all). Pure musicianship.

[@milosdunjic8718]

Ritchie is the director … he signals them

my generation, my music, our parents thought we were crazy and screamed when we played these songs, our music was exceptional and these bands not only had messages to convey but their music and the musicians were at a level of perfection that few bands after them have matched, an era blessed by the gods, we are pleased that your generation appreciates our musical era 60s/70s, an italo-french fan

[@thomashoffmann1063]

Ian Gillan is one of my favourite singers, because he carries emotions so gorgeously well. Isn‘t it like weeping when he does the Uuuhs and isnt it like screaming his heart out when he does the aaaahs? And this man can scream! And he‘s got rhythm in his blood! Still today as an aged musician he‘s one of the best singers when it comes to emotions.

[@tomdalsin5175]

That's exactly what I heard too. The initial "ooo" is a gentle weeping, the first scream is a more desperate wailing, and the second scream is a scream of loss and terror. Even the choice of vibratto seems tweaked to create the effects. Considering the song is about people around the world being shot by a blind man, and all the sinners ("if you've been bad and not been hit by flying lead... wait for the ricochet") dying, then there's plenty to be weeping, wailing and screaming about. Seems like a song about war, or judgment.

[@aimfuldrifter]

He's also played the harmonica and tambourine. :)

[@Jerry-e8l]

So true. His singing ranges from weeping of sadness to screaming of anger up to despair. At least that's how I feel it.

[@DocGliss]

The technique at 12:14 in your video is called a trill. It uses a combination of hammer-ons and pull-offs played together rapidly. (Instructional videos on youtube.) "Finger-style" generally refers to the picking hand and is a form of what classical guitarists typically play. You use your fingers to pick the notes instead of a plectrum. Nice auto mechanic analogy!

[@hippylong]

Mind blowing.... simply one of the top TV performances ever done live... a true gem.. Thank you for mentoring...

[@garybeeman1957]

One of the most talented bands of all time. Ian Gillian played Jesus on Broadway in Jesus Christ superstar. His range is incredible.

[@eddiesell8577]

All phenomenal performers, no autotune nonsense, all live instruments. The guitarist was doing hammer ons and pull offs with his left hand. The audience were so static, I would have been rocking out.

[@colinogara9122]

It was a live recording, and the audience was instructed to be quiet.

[@andreaanelli5079]

this is the best video recording the best live band in history. Deep Purple with Made In Japan and Live In Stockholm 1970 did what no other band did. But Deep Purple is not only a live band but one of the most productive and best composing bands in history, at least in their first three formations.

[@laupstad]

Holy cr*p. I already know how you like to sing along and do it well. I couldn't wait to hear your rendition of it! Incredible! Like you said: He makes it sound easy and so do you. But it has taken you both a lifetime to learn how to something like that. But these old rock gods aren't called gods for no reason!

[@RexAlfieLee]

Absolutely agree. Love his Gethsemane but did you realise that Judas had the harder vocals. I know because I've done it twice. JC has one huge moment in Gethsemane, Judas has several shockers. To be honest my voice didn't make it through all the shows.

This to me is the greatest heavy metal song ever recorded in my time. Richie Blackmore's amazing guitar contrasted Jon Lord (rip)'s incredible keyboards. Ian Gillan, pronounced with a hard G as in a fish's gill. Ian was by far the best heavy metal singer of that era but the band went through some changes. Gillan also appeared on one of the original JC Superstar recording.

Loved this. Thank you! I was maybe 10 years old when they were creating their legend. My neighbor friend, at least 4 years older than me and who used me as his punching bag (sports wise), borrowed my new Bell & Howell cassette recorder. He did not take my Bobby Sherman cassettes, but did record a lot of his LPs for a road trip to his sister in another state. He recorded a ton of his albums. He returned home, gave me back my recorder, and told me to keep the cassettes for myself. UhOh. Three Dog Night (relatively light), Deep Purple, Steppenwolfe, Jimmy Paige (you know who!), Black Oak Arkansas, on & on. It changed my life, literally. I was adopted, so my parents (very old even then) did not understand the music, and allowed me to keep it. Wow. I got into singing as well. Not as epic as those guys, but I had a lot of fun with it, and travelled. So yeah, Maggie, I was happy to find you review this.

What you were asking about "fingerstyle" was him doing a quick progression of hammer on and pull offs A hammer on is using the fret hand to tap.the string .producing a note A pull off is releasing the string sometimes with or without a slight bend pressure.

[@guitarman8462]

They went through 2 lead singers throughout the yrs. Ian Gillan & David Coverdale . Their album " Live In Japan " is pretty good. They recently had a farewell tour with Ian on vocals .

[@ninoorjon]

The band had 4 main vocalists (Evans, Gillan, Coverdale and Turner) and 1 backing vocalist who performed solo parts (Hughes). The main and best of course is Gillan, although fans of the other 4 vocalists can dispute this, but the fact remains.
