Deep Purple Child in Time LIVE 1970 | REACTION!!!!

[@sicmuvva11]

This is a protest song about the Vietnam war! Ian Gillan was a brilliantly trained singer and even Pavarotti was a fan! Deep Purple are one of the most slept on bands of the 70’s !

[@hovhannesharutiunian1340]

The COLD WAR.....Gillan is quoted as saying that the song was created "using the Cold War as the theme", adding "the words came easily because we were all aware of the nuclear threat looming over us at what was probably the height of the Cold War."

[@joejjeman]

Best song ever made! no one can even make covers!

[@Angelfeather100]

Great great great reaction! I really enjoyed it! Cheers from Australia 👍👏

[@jonsmith6982]

It's in a league of its own it's not in any league ,it is the league ..

[@magdalena5703]

This is real handmade music. I‘m happy to could grow up with this. Today i turn the radio off, there is nothing which can compare with this.

[@jimharris367]

Amazing band, such gifted musicians and Ian Gillan is one of my all time favourite singers - he has some very serious pipes 🤘

[@KarlXByrne]

Once upon a time in the 80's I saw him singing live, during his stint with Black sabbath whilst Ozzie was in the naughty corner.

[@garyh.238]

Problem is crap corporate radio and media have ignored Deep Purple apart from Smoke on the Water. One would think Purple were simply one-hit wonders. There is a treasure trove to be mined in the Purple catalogue.

[@tedydnj]

I was lucky enough to see DP live twice. They were in the Guiness book of records for the loudest band back then.

[@CarlWheatley-wi2cl]

Don't know his name but that drummer is just so fucking cool haha. Every one of these guys is seriously talented, it doesn't take long to see that and this song, a child of time, a child of war. Concern, heartbreaking crying and chaos. Got to be one of the weirdest war songs I've ever heard but my Lord is it effective. Great reaction my friend.

[@johngibson7693]

The crowd just sitting there quiet reminds me of Michael j.fox back to the Future when he does Johnny be Good and he says you don't get it but your kids will

[@tonyb9735]

Everybody is blown away when they hear this track for the first time. I'm still blown away every time I hear it.

[@ivan2boring63]

Just love your reaction. I grew up with this... Amasing song

[@jilldiable8119]

I've seen these live,amongst others over the yrs,they were great.

[@wallacewhipps1206]

[@mykota2417]

Deep Purple is so much more than smoke on the water , Deep Purple rips !! Wait till you hear speed king , or Fireball !!

This album , Depp Purple In Rock , is the first metal album for me.

[@jamesbondbond8388]

I´m 65 I was young in 70s Good Good music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and good times ... Sorry for my english I´m spanish

[@andymac3760]

Deep Purple In Rock Album. Saw this live in 1970 in Brighton UK, it's still amazing after all these years.💥😎

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

"Have you heard Deep Purple?" Me heard this question on the street from a stranger with a brother's look in his eye. Usual back then, we loved one another through music. The hated Vietnam War pulled a lot out from musicians.✌️🎇

[@dess1619]

That poor lady in blue. Never even knew she would be looked down upon in reaction vids for the rest of time. XD

[@atmatkingley6585]

Your reaction says it all! No auto-tune, no remixing, just straight up pure music! Not bad for a fifty-three year song!

[@garymaxie6594]

Yes this was an amazing time and I lived it. I feel so very fortunate.

[@pacopaco6]

Musical ecstasy by Deep Purple. Child in time... one the best song of the music history. Grettings from Spain

[@Bluewizard7131]

Just imagine getting to see all of these bands live at the time. 🙂

[@sandrastorer5678]

Am now 63 , and have lived through the greatest era in music !

[@ericvanrouveroij4812]

I started listening to Deep Purple when i was 14 .Now i am 63 and stil listening to their music . And i am glad that i saw them 2 times Live (Greetings from Belgium)

[@purplebongo27]

I was 12....this one made me cry...memory tears....thank you...( hi Belgium, back at you from Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿) love & light 💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@formatique_arschloch]

My older brothers 'forced' me in to Purple, Sabbath, Floyd, Zappa etc. since I was seven. I'm now about 45 and eternally greatful for my brothers. Greetings from Finland.

[@margaretnicol3423]

I've seen a load of people in Hyde Park (London) including the Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, T.Rex, Jethro Tull, Roy Harper, etc., etc., Those really were the days to be living in.

[@alphacrusis2632]

You're right dude, I was a teenager during the '70's and the radio only played these songs when they were requested because they didn't fit the 3 minute time slot like all the pop songs at the time so i didn't really listen to the radio a lot since I was too busy buying all of these amazing albums that included Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, Black sabbath, Uriah Heep, Alice cooper and Pink Floyd then later on Steely Dan, Return to Forever, Al Di Meola, Jean Luc-Ponty. The radio was playing a lot of The Doobie Brothers, The Eagles, Elton John and other commercial acts. We were spoiled for choice, it was a great time.

[@williamsporing1500]

Yes was always my favorite, but I’m a prog rock geek. But all of those you mentioned are high on my list too. It was so great growing up in the 60’s and 70’s….

[@cqIrl]

When a blind man cries and pictures of home are class, I love perfect strangers too

[@alekhidell]

This is why people of my generation (I’m 63) pay absolutely ZERO attention to the modern music scene. We grew up with this. I’ll add a single caveat to that statement. A Japanese metal band called Lovebites have restored my faith in talent based music. Their (half of twin) lead guitarist is a classically trained pianist. The band plays “heavy metal” (their description) in its purest form. Miyako (pianist guitarist) has recently released an EP of piano covers. All metal. The last track is “Burn” which is another DP song you MUST react to. I really enjoyed this reaction. Very nicely done.

[@jampy60]

👍👍👍

[@OracleTheRonin]

Maybe modern music mainstream but even then you have to look beyond what is immediately offered to you there is so much great music being made

[@Mrharryprosser]

This album must be played with the volume turned up to eleven, the house will then shack on its foundations.

[@musicaficionado2974]

I second your every emotion! Thanks and God Bless! You also make me proud of my generation.

[@KJ-4321]

I saw Deep Purple sing this live back in the day! Quite an amazing experience!!!!!

[@richardthresh3587]

I first heard Child in Time when I was 9 (1971) ... you can imagine how it shaped my tastes thereafter?

[@dropzone9639]

Does my heart good to see a younger generation see these legendary videos for the first time. Pure talent ❤

[@josegiordano9838]

Love your reactioions.......... I got to see these guys LIVE.. and many others

[@micko11154]

This is an iconic song for veterans of the Vietnam War. I've been diggin' you for couple of years on ETS21 good to dig you here too. Cheers m8!

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Cheers! Much love!

[@timotimo4152]

Lying on the floor of the Cardiff 'top rank' concert venue...stoned...drunk...waiting for Cardiff band 'Budgie' circa 1982..the first time I heard this. It took me somewhere magical, weird, and exciting. I never went back.

[@samuelcox5297]

You don't even need a video. The audio alone will blow you away.

[@lesliemalham1375]

Ian Gillans vocal range was C2 to D6 (4 octaves - 2 semitones) I would recommend you listen to the live album "made in Japan" to see what DP was all about....

[@williamsporing1500]

That’s an A5 he’s hitting…with that intensity. Unreal….

[@frankpentangeli7945]

Yes, this is the "Smoke on the Water" people. There's more where that came from too. 😁

[@williamthomas7509]

Some of you have to react to this band with tape ... us old folk got to see them live! Add in Grand Funk Railroad, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Queen ... all in their heyday! Yep we were blessed.

[@frankbarkmeyer1168]

Just live, no editing in the audio....love it,

[@kenteague4802]

This is why we believe we had the best music around especially in the uk

[@georgemorley5926]

From Australia , great reaction to the legendary DEEP PURPLE , the best British classic rock band of the late 60s early 70s no question about it , to see them live at that time was unbelievable , all individual virtuoso musicians of there instruments , Peace from down under.

[@SarahFrancos]

Music of the Gods, I was listening to this since I was a kid thanks to my amazing Dad. I saw them live 3 times (not in the 70s lol, not quite that old) and was so grateful to see them with John Lord before he died. Bloody awesome band!

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

This was the music I grew up with! Now I have Nightwish 👍

[@somebloke13]

Deep Purple are still touring, with the same singer, drummer and bass player. They are all in their late 70s and still rocking!

[@Ozarkprepper643]

Better late than never. Been a deep purple fan from the beginning. Managed to hang on to a few LPS and one 8 track. And on this side of the pond we had Iron Butterfly. Another Hidden Gem Iron Butterfly hit it big with the song In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida 17 minutes of wow Epic drum solo. And Butterfly Bleu. For most it was their introduction to the talk box. There's a video of them performing butterfly Bleu on live television commercial free for over 20 minutes. Don't say you were told ✌️🤠🏞️🐂

[@frananmar1]

70's now, I grew up with this and stuff like it ......are you jealous ....bet you are . Enjoy.

[@MartenHemstrom]

People grew up with this on the radio had less access to it than you have now. You just have to choose to listen to it. 😊

[@jeffmoore9356]

Saw Ian Gillan many many times....just another time n what a time it was......amazing singer...

[@billyoliver4000]

In the seventies rock radio was different. Rock radio was called AOR (album oriented radio). Rock stations would receive an album and would play the songs they wanted or were requested by their listeners. Deep Purples original members reunited in the 80s and put out the album Perfect Strangers. Check out the title track and Knocking At Your Back Door from it. 🤘

[@wombata3105]

Dive into Made in Japan, their double live album. A masterpiece by the excellent musicians of DP

[@slayerrules70]

Nothing but absolute raw talent on that stage!!! Legendary performance 🤘🤘

[@purelayermanplayer4062]

Great tune & reaction ...Mandrake Root live is a banger too

[@donalddixon6541]

Glad your discovering what us "old" guys knew for over 50 years..............

[@paulself8698]

It's so good to see the minds of the younger generation absolutely blown apart by the music of our time!

[@utekrause8334]

Yes this is a MASTERPIECE. Love your reaction😍 Ian is the man, such a magnificent voice ( like Robert Plant). I grew up with this. Blessed to be a child of the 70s. Smoking a .... and chill out with friends and listening to Child in Time was am unforgettible experience. I have seen DP live and got totally emotional seeing them play. Awestruck.

[@williamsporing1500]

Remember sitting with friends, burning a couple and listening to complete albums? Good times…

Boomers were the luckiest generation for music !❤

[@markunderwood912]

Hi from Sheffield Yorkshire England well the range on that man is epic at that time the pure talant out there was amazing!!!

[@louisminten7889]

Great band and song. In 1970 i was 11 years old and Deep Purple was already one of my favourite bands. You really need to react to FOCUS with the "song" Hocus Pocus from The Midnight Special 1973. You will be surprised in a good way i promise you

[@richardmassingham1800]

You nailed it - its talent. Say no more

[@brianswift2706]

yep. That was pretty much my reaction when I first heard this song and saw this video only about 3 years ago. Mind. Blown. Have watched it 100s of times since then; never get bored of it, nor of seeing the reaction of other people seeing/hearing it for the first time. Great reaction!

[@turboz6477]

Everyday's a school day, great sound quality and the whole thing was epic!

[@mikedown3219]

Also, so many people only know Purple for Smoke on the Water, but, growing up with this music, Smoke on the Water never registered with me as one of their best songs. There are so many Purple songs that are far, far better in my view.

[@RonniePeterson]

People always comment how subdued the audience was here. But my understanding was they were told to sit still and be quiet because the performance was being recorded. Jon Lord, Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Paice, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, all musicians supreme so ahead of the rest it was painful. I miss Jon Lord to this day. Don't get me wrong Zeppelin and Sabbath were legendary bands but for me Purple particularly Mark 2 left them all in the shade. So glad you checked out something beyond Smoke on the water.

[@mikedown3219]

Couldn’t agree more, they left everyone else in the shade

[@genabourassa7962]

I couldn't agree with you more and I saw all three of the Trinity but none blew me away like Deep Purple and Ian Gillan's voice the entire band are the ultimate musicians of all time and I saw many other bands but none takes the place of Deep Purple.

[@phonebone81]

You are right, the audience must wait until the end to applouse. I know it because the father of a school friend was one of the camera man at this shoot and he told us the story behind the scene.

[@wyattshaver2494]

You hit it on the head man. Also in 1970 TV audiences weren't throwing panties. Also it was a live recording. The audience could gave ruined it.

[@wyattshaver2494]

I also got to see that very same band in 85. Perfect Strangers tour. Ian Gillian still had the chops man! It was my first concert ever! I was spoiled after that.

[@MichaelK5468]

It's so cool that you're embracing the music we grew up listening to (and still do). I'm going to enjoy accompanying you on this journey. As a new Ian Gillan convert I'm going to suggest that you check out Gillan doing Gethsemane from the studio album of Jesus Christ Superstar. Epic.

[@garmit61]

Just listen to the whole of Made In Japan. Live music at its pinnacle

[@nikolaykhramov1269]

Парень, твоя реакция на одну из великих песен начала 70-ых очень многого стоит!! От себя лично: послушай другую их не менее эпичную песню "FOOLS" с альбома "Fireball" 1971 года! / Guy, your reaction to one of the great songs of the early 70s is worth a lot!! Personally: listen to their other equally epic song "FOOLS" from the 1971 album "Fireball"!

[@Loki1815]

Dan, I just had to watch your reaction again, absobloodylutely priceless!

[@sammybeck7794]

No voice enhancements, no Auto-Tune. Just singing and playing instruments

[@beresfordthompson1370]

This is such an iconic song and live, every instrument on that stage shines and played to perfection, it’s an instrumental and vocal masterpiece. And then Ian’s voice is so angelic at times and then does stuff that shouldn’t be possible. And the transitions during this song just keep coming. Epic performance.

[@sualdammacsamildanach8154]

It's funny how time (sometimes) changes your perception of these things. When I was in sixth form at school, there was a fight every break for who got to put their mix tape on the stereo system. Sometimes, I'd win with (early) Queen or Horslips, and other times it would be Made in Japan by Deep Purple. At the time, whenever this track came on, I just heard it as 'screaming'. But you get wiser as you get older, and I recognise now what my school mates did way before me - that it is a masterpiece. I saw Deep Purple a few months ago (with Gillan). I've seen them several times. He can't hit anything like this range now, but he is - and certainly was - a brilliant vocalist. It's important that younger generations get to hear it, because there's absolutely nothing at this level today. One by one, all the legends are leaving us.

[@HeavyMetalBluegrass]

Deep Purple's Machine Head is my favourite album of all time. Every track is awesome.

[@bobshookman6050]

As a child of the 70’s, we had the most outstanding music of all time…no auto tune, just straight out amazing musicianship. Each of the bands of this era built their success on originality. Not sameness, but true Rock and Roll creativity. Thank you for recognizing this. My 70’s of listening to this music was truly amazing

[@beldin2987]

There has alway been good and bad music. Today there are tons of really great metal bands, and for sure none of them uses autotune, while back in the 70s we had bands like "Boney M" where the main singer wasn't even singing at all, so thats even worse than autotune. Also some use it just as a stylistic effect, just like a guitarist is maybe using a wah-wah pedal. Think about Cher, she can of course sing and didn't needed it when she made "Believe", it was just for the style. And even back in the 70s most people just knew shit like the whole "disco music", and if you asked them about Yes, Genesis, Renaissance .. they just shaked their had. The only big difference is maybe that, if you are american and still listen to the radio and what the industry feeds you, then you have maybe no clue what good music is out there because the only give you "DJ MadDog MC" or whatever idiotic names these guys have 😄 Btw.: the most really great bands from the 70s where also from europe, only that they mostly came from the UK at that time, while now its maybe more from northern europe.

And trhen there's all the off shoots - Rainbow, Whitesnake, Gillan. Enjoy.
