[@tonyb9735]

@@tonysummerfelt6521 firstly, I was careful in my choice of phrase, I said nobody did it better, which does not preclude anybody from being just as good. Secondly, Rick Wakeman was indeed very talented, very much his equal technically, but somehow Wakeman's music was never as good, at least for me. A bit like Roger Waters' material post Floyd, I always felt Wakeman's music was lacking something.

I’m 70 years old and I just love seeing your generation reacting to my fave hard rock/heavy metal music from late 60s to early/mid 70s. Saw DP in concert in 1974. The keyboard player is Jon Lord (RIP) and he is playing a cut down Hammond P3 organ. He was classically trained. Lead guitarist Ritchie Blackmore formed Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio in 1975 after DP broke up. If you loved Child in Time I am certain you will love Stargazer by Rainbow and it’s follow up/sequel A Light in the Black. Other DP songs worth listening to are Space Truckin, Strange Kind of Woman, Perfect Strangers, My Woman from Tokyo, Black Night and Burn.

It baffles me that so many people know Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Who and Pink Floyd, but don't really know of Deep Purple, and yet they sold as many records as the others but somehow have been forgotten, maybe they should have had a more iconic logo, but in terms of musicianship they were as good as anyone in their mark II line up.

@@simply_psi In their MK. 2 days of 1970- 74 Deep Purple sold more records, more concert tickets and more merchandise than any other act on the planet, and that includes Zeppelin, Floyd, The Beatles, Elvis Presley or Bing Crosby.

I highly recommend Deep Purple's live album titled Made in Japan for an album review !

[@JariJuslin]

I remember the guys telling on an interview that when Child in Time was recorded and mixed they listened to the master tape together and then sat in silence, realizing they had surpassed themselves and created something extraordinary. The organ sounds the same because it's not a keyboard (which is input device for general purpose synthesizers) but full instrument with sound fixed like a piano would.

[@barryrammer7906]

It's a Hammond B3 organ thru a Marshall stack. Jon Lord rip invented that sound. Listen to Hush that what made him top 3 in the world and famous. Jon Lord Emerson or Wakman. You can flip the 3 in any order. Top 3 in the world easily.

Millie, thanks for sharing your reaction. My own favorite Deep Purple song? This one - _Child In Time._ And _this_ version. My first Deep Purple experience? 20th april 1968, British band _"Roundabouts"_ played at the local "Parkskolen" school close to our home in Taastrup, Denmark. Entering stage they announced that they'd chosen a new name for the band: _"Deep Purple"._ This was the very first Deep Purple concert ever. It was shortly before I was born. They played very loud so I would have heard it.

Damn... how glad I am to have some older brothers. And one of them really liked this kind of music and especially Deep Purple. He had a bunch of LPs of that too. When he was working I used to sneak into his room to put on a record of this or other hard rock bands from the late sixties and seventies. I think I was about 10-15 years old at the time. I always thought he never knew I sneaked into his room and played his records.

[@ALAN_COX]

This is one of the wildest vocal performances ever recorded. Another reactor rightly called this "controlled chaos". The crowd was made to be quiet because they were recording this. The keyboard being played is a Hammond B3 / C3 organ that is full of electronic tubes and run into Leslie speaker cabinets. This particular lineup of band members is commonly called the Mark II version of Deep Purple and is responsible for most of their hit records. I love to watch your reactions! Keep them coming!

Awesome my dear, they did this very live with a dead audience told to keep quiet for TV. When I first saw them a few years later we were anything but quiet! AND They were anything but quiet, in those days they held the Guiness World Record for loudest band for awhile, we saw them indoors in New Haven then later that tour, outside in Hartford, huge PAs, the outdoor show you could have heard miles away as they set up in the flat, open field of Colt Park and just turned it up and let rip. Tremendous performers who knew how to handle that sound system. The cost? $5.50, LOL! Try Space Trucking live sometime from the 1970s, it will blow your mind! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@littlejimmy7402]

"He's a God". Yes, Jon Lord is God (or was God, R.I.P.). Such an under appreciated band, especially for all the world events they were a soundtrack to. Everybody in the band is a legend. Ritchie Blackmore is one of my favorite guitar players (maybe musician). I think he "sees" sound or something, he uses his guitar like a paint brush.

[@davidbroadley2983]

I'm fascinated. Youngster after Youngster fails to understand that in 1970 head banging hadn't been invented. Led Zep hadn't released IV and David Bowie was unheard of Space Oddity was hit in 1972. This music was new! Black Sabbath album Paranoid had only just been released. Deep Purple, Led Zep and Black Sabbath were the ground breakers. Their audiences invented head banging. It was amazing to be part of it.

Jon Lord was a legend on the organ no one was and is better than he was.

[@b1blancer1]

Ian Gillan's voice even caught the attention of Luciano Pavarotti, who called Ian's voice "A force of nature." If you're going to talk about Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, you have to bring Black Sabbath into the mix. The three of them started heavy metal in the late 60's and early 70's.

Lazy - live version from Made in Japan Black Night - single version Burn - studio version. Sail Away Stormbringer

[@mangstadt1]

I went to a concert by the Ian Gillan Band in Madrid back in 1982, at the Palacio de los Deportes in Madrid, a venue that burned down a few years later and was eventually rebuilt with less fire-friendly materials. It is now known as the WiZink Center. At the time I knew Ian Gillan from his role as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, the muscial by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Tim Rice. I knew he was (at times) the singer for Deep Purple, but I really wasn't into that group at the time. I would have enjoyed it more had I been better prepared for that concert. I saw Joe Cocker at around the same time, and there too I wasn't really ready for it. i have this performance on a double CD with Deep Purple's BBC sessions. Of all their songs, Child in Time is my favourite. It is also the title of a novel by Ian McEwan. Actually, The Child in Time. And there is an oratorio by Michael Tippett, A Child of Our Time, which I saw performed live in Madrid in 1991. I coincided with the composer, who was born in 1905, at a performance of his opera The Knot Garden, in London, late 1980s or maybe 1990.
