Deep Purple - Fireball (TV Performance, 1971)

Because whenever there is a song that lives through decades and still is awesome today, means that there is something about them that still makes anyone's heart beat fast, makes you feel something that no other song can. It will never grow old, or come out of style. The song lives forever in young and old . That's real music to me, the songs that has the power to still be powerful after all these years.

my first concert---Evansville Indiana-1971-right on stage under Lord's organ. High AF. They were loud AF. Ritchie broke a string and instead of bringing him a new guitar they brought him a string. He strung it in about 20 seconds and played the solo. After the show I walked up on the stage and got the broken string and kept it as a souvenir. No roadies or security bothered me. Then I sat on the edge of the stage and talked to my friends. I was bangin my head on the stage as a strange reaction to shit being so loud.

It´s my favourite one, indeed.

[@jeanclaudejaycee3472]

José María Percebal Morlanes mine too; I've been loving Deep Purple since I was a teenager and I'm in my fifties something now; I dig all the music they played, as a band and solo too, and I'm an amateur musician who's been playing their tunes a lot; Fireball is the Mark II album that aged better, in my opinion and for my musical taste

[@stevemossholder]

It was Ian Gillan's favorite

[@VielFart]

No it isn't.

[@kaushikganguli1948]

I hum this song all the time. James Last had this phenomenal instrumental which made a deep impact on me.

[@arthurbishop3173]

Far and away the most underrated of ANY classic metal or rock bands!! They really deserve more attention and accolades imo....listen to these guys!

[@swoe420]

Agreed. They're not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, what a joke. Too many instantly recognizable classic hits that sounded like no one else I guess.

[@viksox13]

swoe420 we should all start spamming the Hall of Fames FB page with Deep Purple vids. I usually post a few comments here and there, and others have picked it up too.

[@notgivennotgiven7776]

Arthur Bishop Amen !!!

[@saulturner3567]

Sorry to say but Deep Purple has never been underrated. It's with Yes and Led Zeppelin above all other 70's giants.

[@arthurbishop3173]

Saul Turner I think you misunderstand the definition of 'underrated'. DP IS BADASS, but they're not given their due by enough people, which makes them underrated. They've ALWAYS been great, Saul, that's my point.

[@DanielQuigley-gr3tc]

Im 67 ive seen Zeppelin live,Pink Floyd live and Deep Purple live back in the 70's and Purple was and still is the best band ever

[@marioduran3309]

some of you most be very young...in the 60's - 70's we would dance to anything and/or everything, we'd just follow the rithem, simple.! or we'd seat, listening and dance the music in our heads.

[@aaronharvey7523]

Brilliant man.... ❤ I like to see the crowd at this show, right now, back then... Deep Purple still Rock... I have this DVD here.....

[@ИгорьСевастьянов-х9й]

Это вам не реп...а НАСТОЯЩИЙ ЗАБОЙ!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@krahmal56]

100%!

[@onrybak9464]

С этого Альбома и началась моя жизнь с Deep Purple , комментарий прикольный , я как электрик сразу понял что включили электродвигатель , а они запускали ракету!

[@AngryPostmanStockholm]

Fantastic, and the "outro" starting 4:30 is probly the most swingin asskick catchy part of music ever, Damn i cant contain it!

[@buckster2575]

Blackmore is so good he can play any side of the guitar lol.

[@patrickmichels7888]

Ritchie does the same thing in a video for Kentucky woman but with the es335

[@rikkinadir]

He hated being told to mime.. So he did it to point out to the audience that this was the case... and also to F up the producers

[@anagraham9124]

@@rikkinadir I think he and Steve Priest went to the Keith Moon School of Miming. Moon hated to mime and made it obvious he wasn't playing.

[@micheleteso9499]

Without jack in the guitar.God's miracle

[@toddseals2792]

I have it I'll give it another listen , DEEP PURPLE , Always delivered ...
