This song like others of 60's Generation was anti-war song on Vietnam War. Deep Purple members are from the UK seeing the carnage in Vietnam.

[@MrTech226]

Except original keyboardist (Jon Lord) who passed on about 12 years ago, most of the originals (Mark III Lineup) are still playing today. Roger Glover (Bassist), Ian Paice (drums), and Ian Gillan (singer) are still in Deep Purple while original guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore is still doing his own solo band and his other band, Rainbow. All of them including Mark IV members, Glenn Hughes, Bassist and David Coverdale singer (They replaced Roger and Ian Gillan after Ritchie fired them) were inducted into Rock Hall of Fame. Speaking of Coverdale, he is retiring from touring after his own band, Whitesnake is finishing touring.

[@MrTech226]

Momma Gap notice the audience being quiet. Reason is that this clip was from a live show. Live shows back then like today has rules for the audience when event is broadcasted on a network. Now, live events are delayed few seconds just in case of miscues, bad words, and wardrobe malfunctions.

No fué para Vietnam...es contra la guerra en general. En esa época, también por la guerra fría. Deep Purple es un grupo británico, de la "trinidad", junto a Led Zeppelin y Black Sabbath. Influenciáron a muchísimas bandas, entre ellas, a Iron Maiden y Metallica 😊

[@susanfigueroa872]

This was always billed as an anti war song. My husband served in Vietnam along with two of his friends and he told me once all the the energy expended in the song sounded like the chaos that was war. Fortunately, they all came back alive. He saw them back in the day right after he came back from overseas and together we saw them a few years ago outside of Houston where we now live. Ian Gilliam is the frontman once again but at his age he cannot hit the notes he used to. No matter, we thoroughly enjoyed the concert! And yes the audience was told to be quiet because they were taping and this was in Sweden.

actually at that time in europe, we were attentively listening (to music and words), then cheering. it was meant to be polite. especially in classical music you´re not supposed to utter a single sound, to this day. that being said, this is 1970. deep purple, led zeppelin, black sabbath, uriah heep originated about that year. so, people were exposed to what was to become heavy rock for the first time.

Your comment around 11:11 about the audience: as far as I know, this performance was recorded 1970 in a BBC TV studio. Those were still the early days of Heavy Metal. A lot of folks in the audience, especially the older ones, didn't know what to think; I guess they were stunned into silence. Reminds me of "2Cellos - Thunderstruck (Official Video)" on KZbin. Worth checking out. Love your reaction and comments. Thanks!

[@stephenhanft1226]

Deep Purple were part of a rock trifecta. There are three rock bands that are considered the pioneers of heavy metal. They are Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple. All 3 groups came along around the same time and influenced all heavy metal rock bands that came after them. "Child In Time" is one of Deep Purple's best songs. For another Deep Purple suggestion, you should try "Smoke On The Water". It is their most popular song and a rock classic.

[@bookhouseboy280]

Uriah Heep's influence has become apparent enough over the years that they're typically included with the other three as the big four.

The song was about the Cold War. The late-great Jon Lord on the Hammond organ; Ritchie Blackmore on guitar; Ian Gillan on vocals; Ian Paice on drums; Roger Glover on bass. They stopped playing this song years ago. At Ian's advanced age now, it's too difficult to hit the high notes; at least, without throwing his voice out for a week. That video was recorded more than 50 years ago, but Purple are still touring and recording as of 2023.

the best live video ever recorded of the best live band in rock history. For those discovering them now ... I recommend the live Made In Japan, but and especially because it is the best live performed by Deep Purple: Live in Stockholm 1970. To say they are insane is an understatement. No one has ever managed to mix hard rock, jazz and classical music as well as they did.

[@TalesOfTheRiverBank]

Thank you very much for reviewing this song. Deep Purple were very big here in the UK in the first half of the 1970s. Most people probably know them because of "smoke on the water". However, "child in time" has always been my favourite track of their's. I think it really shows off the capabilities of the whole band, particularly Ian Gillan on vocals, but also the excellence of Jon Lord on the keyboards, Richie Blackmore on lead guitar, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums. In the UK at that time Deep Purple were thought of as part of a holy trinity of rock bands comprising of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. Some would argue that Uriah Heep were also worthy of consideration to make it a foursome. The Deep Purple lineup in this video (Gillan, Blackmore, Paice, Lord and Glover) is my favourite. The band continues to perform today and three members of that 1970 lineup are there now - Ian Gillan (lead singer), Ian Paice (drummer) and Roger Glover (bass player). Very glad that you both liked the song.

Hi ladies - in this song the "legendary Hammond organ" is used - which is characterized by the fact that rotating speakers are installed in the cabinet. It produces that wonderful tremmolo sound. By the way, this organ is also played in a song you have already watched - "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by and with Gary Brooker (RIP) and Prokol Harum in the OpenAir with the Danish National Orchestra.

[@jkbowers56]

Keyboard sounds like an organ because it IS an organ.... other than that, GREAT reaction, ladies!

[@jpdj2715]

Is an electric guitar still a guitar? It has its acoustic resonance and amplification sound box replaced by an almost dead board but uses induction-based pickups to feed the string's vibrations into an amplifier. I am inclined to still call the electric guitar a guitar. This Hammond C-3 Jon Lord put through an overdriven Marshall stack to fit in with Deep Purple's hard rock sound [wiki]. Tone generation - as in "synthesis" - in the C-3 is in an electro-mechanic way that is mechanically more complex than a church organ. It even needs lubrication that must frequently be topped up. There are no mechanical vibrations that are picked up and amplified. Here I am inclined to reject saying it IS an organ. That said, Jon Lord with his e-organ and classical deep music education, may have been the biggest influence musically in the incarnations of this group, and may have had a powerful vote in reviewing candidates to be admitted into the group.

I can see the incredulity on your faces. I think the song is genius. I call it progressive rock, but you have to remember the time. This is a Vietnam anti-war protest song. There was one album rock station in Wichita in 1970. I think it was two guys, a microphone and their own albums. I would quietly (and a little on the down low) listen in junior high, like I was getting away with something and the only one to know this special sound. The lead vocal holds me, but the guitar and keyboards are spectacular. Thank you. I feel 13 again.

Everyone is surprised by the behavior of the audience. Please remember that this kind of music was revolutionary at the time. The audience was well-mannered people who may have never been to a rock concert before. They behaved seriously, as if at a symphony concert. There are plenty of videos of Deep Purple concerts where the audience goes wild. The lyrics were written by singer Ian Gilan, who also performed on Broadway in the musical Jesus Christus Super Star and is considered the best in this role. Child In Time for me is the greatest rock song ever with prophetic lyrics predicting the present times

It's war and all the screaming is the killing and dying going on while trying to remain alive! Deep Purple's signature song, I believe is Smoke On The Water. You may know that one just by it's intro. But they were part of the big three as far as heavier and godfathers of Heavy Metal. Led Zeppelin. Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. They have an extensive catalog which contains their, I'm guessing, more well known song, Smoke On The Water. As soon as you hear the first three chords it's like, "OH!!, that Deep Purple! LOL! Hope you enjoy more of their music.

I saw this lineup (MKII my favorite lineup) 5x in NYC, Ian Gillan (vocalist) always introduced this song as their slowest fastest song. Even back then it was evident that Ian & Richie Blackmore (guitarist) didn't like each other. Interesting side note was that each time Fleetwood Mac (with Bob Welch & Danny Kirwan, before Lindsay & Stevie joined because Bob & Danny were no longer with the band) was the warm-up band for them. Great shows. About the audience, I think this was recorded in Europe, but in America we also didn't often get too rowdy till the song ended, mainly because we were high (you would get a contact high just breathing the air).
