Deep Purple - Lazy [FIRST TIME REACTION]

[@alekhidell]

You have just witnessed the greatest player ever to pick up a guitar. The ridiculously overlooked Ritchie Blackmore.

[@Sohum]

more people need to hear about him...

[@gutsfield3504]

You haven't heard the greatest music until you hear Deep Purple mark 2. Five expert artists have yet to be topped. They love what they do.

[@jamesmcclain5005]

This is one of the pillars of 70's ROCK!

[@mitchsilberberg9574]

In case it was'nt mentioned, the keyboard was plugged into a Marshall to compete withe Blackmore's guitar. Nicknamed "The Beast"

[@lesliedavis2185]

Don’t worry about the genre, the genre is good, shows they are versatile.

[@Sohum]

huge versatility for sure

[@yozaseig3870]

One of the greatest bands ever. One of the Unholy Trinity of rock with Led Zep and Black Sabbath. Musical giants and a frontman with one of the greatest voices across all genres.

[@michaelkarlsson5966]

Thank you for a great reaction to Deep Purple! Deep Purple are considered many things; progressive, heavy rock, blues, jazz, funk and classical. Live, especially in the 70s they were known for their improvisatory attitude towards their music. Ritchie Blackmore on guitar and Jon Lord on Hammond Organ (which is a type of keyboard) are true masters with a wide range of musical background and taste. I think you will enjoy discovering more from this band. Good luck! :)

[@DennisDodic-xl1op]

Just phenomenol

[@jamesmcclain5005]

@@michaelkarlsson5966 Smoke On the Water!

[@dwoehrma]

Rock is based in the blues. But from there, it goes in multiple directions. Ritchie Blackmore inspired thousands of metal guitarists. Deep Purple "Burn" is the template for neo classical metal. Rainbow "Stargazer" furthers that template with middle eastern scales dominating.

[@joyous-b8j]

It's Deep Purple Music!!!,,❤️❤️

[@THOMASSBLAQUELOURDE]

The studio track is what we mean it's PERFECT

[@modejar2022]

This is simple. You have listened to the best hard rock band ever. A combo of five great musicians that pursued excellence and master playing to put it all in a rock band together. Continue exploring the Purple tracks: HIGHWAY STAR, maybe BLACK NIGHT, STRANGE KIND OF WOMAN and SPACE TRICKIN' to begin with. By the way, the band is still on tour and they released their last album, called "=1" on august 2024, Yes this year.

[@nikosalmpanis-ty3jt]

Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple the holy triad of rock music🤘

[@Edogg-c7t]

I started with Deeppurple and Yes in my teens and initially it was progressive rock. Yes continued with this. Deeppurple became real hard rock. Nice response, I enjoyed it👌

[@ponytrekker8996]

Deep Purple is hard rock.. if you watch Blackmore’s guitar solo, you’ll notice that he turns the volume knob on his guitar and changes the tone of the guitar during his solo.. to find the notes he’s looking for and the sound he wants that’s why he is considered one of the best rock guitarist.

[@joeykopack]

Yep, classic hard rock, My favorite genre, when you listen to deep purple you’ll hear pretty much every genre of music

[@chrisgoddard9236]

He's flicking between pickups too

[@davidgardiner4620]

​@joeykopack so true, great obsevation

[@DGSPhoto]

The "Go To" song - if you want to confuse someone musically! They are basically Heavy Rock and, along with Zeppelin and Sabbath, are renowned as the forefathers of Metal - although each with their own distinctive style. The singer does mention "a kind of Rhythm & Blues thing" in the intro though! Purple are well known as a "genre-busting" band who created so many different tracks and yet always returned back to Rock in the next track! I put Purple ahead of the others purely because each of them could arguably be the master of their "instrument" - but Jon Lord on the Hammond B3 Organ, which he fed through guitar amps to create the "Beast", is what made the difference to me. It's one hell of a rabbit hole to go down if you continue - but will be well worth it! The groups that stem from this one are so vast to mention. Definitely a live band - and I would be doing you a great favour if I suggested the next track for you from way back and that is "Child In Time - Live (1970)", recorded in a TV studio, which never fails to amaze the first-timers - and as for the screams ......! Great reaction and Good Luck on your journey - however long or short it is!

[@ninoorjon]

Highway Star and Child in Time are a must, and the rest is optional, although I prefer to listen to Deep Purple albums rather than songs - they are a rock band after all. If you like metal, you should know that speed metal is named after a Speed ​​King song, and Deep Purple are considered the founders of this direction in metal, as well as thrash (along with Sabbath), as well as symphonic metal and neoclassical metal.

[@cyberpotato63]

Jon lord was using a Hammond c3 organ with a distorted highly modified Leslie speaker. I don't know what the setup was, but my guess is the amplifier parts in the rotating Leslie speaker were replaced with parts from a guitar amp.

[@TheBillbran]

You must do more deep purple you’ll understand. Great reaction thank you.

[@Sohum]

thank you!

[@TheBillbran]

Thank you too

[@BengtLofqvist]

Cool version but the studio version really show their skills yeah that is perfection.

[@zdenkonouzovsky6947]

Made in Japan vesion is the best

[@debbiegoss4475]

...."what kind of music is this?" This is real music !!! Welcome to the 70's .... And all those dials and knobs, well I'll tell you what they're not, they're NOT computers !!!! No f*ckin' auto tune. This is thousands of hours of perfecting your craft, not like today where it's all about instant gratification !!!! Now listen to "Strange Kind of Woman" from Made in Japan live, it doesn't disappoint

[@turdferguson3475]

Maybe the best group of musicians in rock history.

[@davidmckenzie420]

My favorite DP song. But please also listen to the studio version. You won't regret it.

[@kevinlundgren1169]

Just wait until you check out Child In Time, live in 1970!! You will like that one too!!

[@supobostarman]

One thing about classic rock that you post-moderns need to understand that there was a period from about 1967 to around 1977 where genre was irrelevant. Bands played a wide variety of genres. In fact that's what set this period apart so much. Creativity was incredible and labels were interested in a band developing their style, but within their style could be hard rock, jazz, swing, blues, reggae, classical...and everything in between. So we the listeners couldn't pigeon- hole bands very well. But that was the beauty of classic rock in those days. It was like a box of chocolates. You never knew exactly what you were going to get, but usually it was thrilling!

[@michael-pn9po]

They were a great improv band - but one of the pioneers of hard rock / heavy metal - the keyboard is a Hammond Organ - this track was not typical of them but is typical of their versatility- probably the best live hard rock band of the early 70s

[@RobertDavisAdman]

It is classic rock. Smoke on The Water was a staple and an iconic anthem of a generation.

[@peterbrennan7111]

It is played on a shuffle beat provided by the incredible Ian Paice. What type of music is it? REAL.

[@ricardoluistomasone4663]

DEEP PURPLE RULES💜💜💜🎸🎸🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Sohum]

theyre so good

[@DavidGigg]

It's a Hammond Organ, not a Piano. Those are different effects keys, not for individual notes, for the overall 'sound output'. Same as effects pedals on guitars

[@mrmockatoo6786]

And apart from his normal organ paraphernalia Jon Lord fed his sound through a guitar amp (Marshall, I think) and used guitar pedals for extra distortion.

[@markkenific6587]

They are draw bars

[@wanderleyjesus6772]

As in a church organ those registers change the timbre of the sound. So the player decides which sound to produce selecting those special registers.

[@nobodyaskedbut]

DP Mark2 also: Child in Time / Flight of the Rat / Pictures of Home / The Mule / Hard Lovin Man / Rat Bat Blue / Perfect Strangers / Place in Line / No No No / Gypsy's Kiss / Strange Ways / Mitzi Dupree

[@wesalker3479]

let's just say that Deep Purple is . . . . . DEEP . . . they have a ton of HEAVY songs. They wrote "Highway Star" in 20 minutes, as an example of how they write songs when asked by a reporter that was travelling with them between "gigs". They also PERFORMED the song, IN CONCERT, after a short rehearsal. It's one of their biggest hits. GIVE IT A LISTEN!

[@cynergy4]

The keys intro on the studio version is way better and longer. We always called it hard rock. Check out "Child In Time", it will blow you away!

[@michaelklassen9486]

Ritchie Blackmore was never over looked,he just likes it like.

[@johnfrank3177]

Hello. Just subscribed to your channel. The hallmark of sixties and seventies bands was the creation of your own sound, irrespective of genre and conventional norms. It's sufficient to just call this "Deep Purple music" without any further explanation of category or genre, Sometimes disparate elements would be combined to create an individual sound and feel. The organ you mentioned was a Hammond B3 which was originally used in churches, and I can tell you that it was very heavy piece of furniture/equipment! The buttons you noticed above the organ's keys are actually drawbars ,which could be pulled or pushed to create different sounds and tonal textures. I hope this explanation helps. Enjoyed your reaction.

[@joeykopack]

If you want to hear early heavy-metal check out their song Speed King off of their 1970 album In Rock

[@LisaLou4sho]

I was 12 in 72. I had Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith was the beginning of my LP collection. Wish I still had. This is Rock with a twist of other genres as needed!😅

[@larteonceagain]

Purple had influences from classic, blues, folk, swing, rock-'n'-roll, jazz a bit of country from all the guys in the band. So therefore they were much more diverse than most band's. But they did/does improvise a lot and they have always been virtuouses of their instruments and Gillan on his vocals.

[@frankpentangeli7945]

This is classic hard rock infused with blues, jazz and massive improvisation.

[@davesutton9624]

The beginning is just a warm up intro.

[@davesutton9624]

Lazy is pretty much a long jam session but the talent of all of them comes together when it needs to.

[@rexwave4624]

“I have no idea what’s coming”. Um, yes. This song is improv’d from a studio album. I saw this show a couple of weeks after this recording. Changed my life. Every player is a virtuoso. Notice the bass player tuning on the fly. When we think of “classic rock”, this and a couple of other bands are the source from which it sprang.

[@ronnienose8608]

Listen to Derp Purple's live version of Highway Star. But only from their live album Made In Japan. It's the best version bybfar, better than anything that was filmed (not much much footage remains of them in their heyday, and often the mix is terrible like this video of Lazy). Honestly, their live album Made In Japan is often regarded as the finest live album of all time, and that's not mere hyperbole. You could just react to the audio, the band are at their peak, just stunning, and you'll realise why they are a huge influence on hard rock and metal over the decades.

[@peterschon3717]

The little switches on the Hammond C3 organ from John Lord are the different instruments you can switch on or switch off. Like on an organ in the church.

[@jalkabre5904]

Now check out Rainbow 🌈, the song "Stargazer". In the next progression from Deep Purple. Formed by the Deep Purple guitarists, Ritchie Blackmore.

[@tedburnard841]

And its sequel, A Light in the Black. Continues his story after the demise of the Wizard. After nine years, should he stay or go home. It is bloody brilliant. Some would call parts of it Speed Metal, whereas Stargazer is more Power Metal.

[@nobodyaskedbut]

DP Mark2 created their own genre with the monumental "In Rock" album. It was a genre of which only they ever played. They were quite simply the greatest group of rock musicians of all-time.

[@glenn-jn8gy]

There weren't fifty genres of music when this came out. It simply went into the Rock category. Obviously there were jazz influences. Ritchie Blackmore was a guitar God. Those of us who play knew that. The way you lower the volume as he did in the piece is by muting the strings with your palm. Great piece of music, from a great band. Stellar.

[@tysonpowell9335]

I would recommend listening to Child In Time from Deep Purple next. Would also recommend King Crimson- 21st Century Schizoid Man (album version) and Frank Zappa- The Muffin Man. Definitely outside anything you may have heard, all have deep roots in jazz and are very much worth listening to.

[@ricardoluistomasone4663]

[@Raulitango]

The best Rock'n'Roll band ever, kick ass, hands down, no ands, ifs or buts! The live version sounds much better than the recorded version on their Machine Head album celebrated from their Smoke on the Water tune, among others!

[@glennwalker5700]

Dude! There were no computers back then!

[@Sohum]

you're so right hahah

[@gunnelalmge7543]

Welcome to the world of Deep Purple, the greatest band ever! And they are still at it!!! Latest album cam summer of 2024!!!!!!!!!!! And it is great!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tip for reaction: "Sometimes I feel like screamin´" live at Royal Albert Hall 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@MikeFisher-123]

It's a Hammond B3 or C3 organ (can't remember the difference - just the case I think), and what you see above the keys are the drawbars that control the harmonics of the sound.

[@1Danow]

60's rock. Nothing better.

[@sanpaku6869]

It’s an organ

[@FrankWirth-ij4rq]

The Official "Highway star" video is great as well.

[@melporter8043]

Maybe not on this particular performance, but Jon Lord experimented with running his Hammond to Marshall amps through Leslie Speakers. Lord used Hammond tone-wheel organs, which have drawbars (sliders like on a mixer) that can blend the various tones in almost infinite subtle adjustments to sound.

[@RobertDavisAdman]

Now listen to the studio version. This is just a prelude.

[@jimtatro6550]

Child in Time and Highway Star are MUST LISTENS from DP👍

[@Pedro-jb3sm]

Listen to the live performance from Rainbow in Munich 77 "Catch the rainbow" or to the amazing live version from "tearing' out my herart" (Rainbow in San Antonio "Live between the eyes").

[@michaelklassen9486]

Mr.pod caster you're on the right track!

[@Sohum]

thanks!!

[@helenespaulding7562]

This is Rock.

[@gwh0]

Hammond Organ played through a Marshall amp and a leslie (rotating) speaker.

[@stephenvarty191]

I love Deep Purple but you asked for some different recommendations, so I will suggest something really different by my favourite band Van Der Graaf Generator...please try Lemmings or Man-Erg from the album Pawn Hearts. I would love to see what you make of it!

[@PatrickBrown924]

It's not jazz, it's blues. British blues-rock, specifically. A development from what Cream were doing a few years before, virtuoso improvisation over blues forms, with added volume and distortion. Listen to their "Crossroads" = "Lazy" is that, taken a bit further, with organ and more dynamic and tempo variation. Or a few years before that, "Steppin' Out" by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton.

[@hovhannesharutiunian1340]

It's a Hammond organ dude. You're asking about the drawbars, metal sliders that controlxing board the volume of a particular sound component, in a similar way to a fader on an audio mixing board.

[@pinball1970]

THE best players, no competition

[@gwh0]

Organist was also a classical composer.

[@walterfletcher8276]

Rock and Roll If you like them wait till you hear Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Robin Trower, The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jethro Tull. The 70's were Awesome for Music.

Deep Purple is Best . All around solid talent mature musicians. I like to recommend another great Guitar play "Rory Gallagher" listen to his song called ( Do you read Me )-Live - rock goes to collage video .up on KZbin. This man also was incredible . Virtuoso. Have to say Rory Gallagher is the most underated guitar player on the planet .God rest his soul.. 🙏 Deep Purple 💜 Are and always be my Favorite along with great memories as a teen in the 70s. Great Reaction 👏

[@Andy-ng9lz]

Great reaction. You are heading down a huge rabbit hole with 70's rock, it'll be fun ;) For another harmonica featuring song, try Black Sabbath's "The Wizard" from 1970. Subbed.

[@captpicard100]

The problem with Ritchie Blackmore is that he was given a world class, god given talent, to be able to write and play some of the greatest Rock Riff’s ever heard. Unfortunately he was also given equally enormous amounts of being a complete tosser.

[@ingridgabelo2934]

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo!!!!

[@r.awilliams9815]

Yeah, him and Ginger Baker. Both of them insanely talented, both of them people you don't want to be around for long.

[@Dani-rs6cw]

You should listen more music of the 70‘s like Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd, Yes, The Who, Led Zeppelin, etc. etc.😉

[@Sohum]

I do have some reactions to PF and LZ on my channel :)

[@tubaviewa2624]

Have a look at their 'Made in Japan'...)

[@tperran]

Check out Ian Gillian’s version of Gethesame. He sang the part of Jesus Christ on the original soundtrack. I think you know why. Great reaction, you have a new fan!

[@gurmitkhun-khun]

A song played thousand times, you get to hear thousand new songs, Purple never played a song the same way twice . Ritchie Jon were the masters of improvisation and to keep it altogether Paicey and Glover. They don't get credit these days, they were better than Sabath or Zepelin

[@gj8683]

After you listen to the studio version, which you simply must, you'll see how different it is from this live one. They liked to cut loose when playing live. Certainly had the chops for it and the balls to do it. And those "dials" on the organ around 8:50 are called drawbars, arranged left to right by pitch (frequency), lower to higher. Draw one out to for more of that frequency, push it in for less. Allows for a lot of variation on the overall sound. The singer, Ian Gillan, is one of the greatest ever in rock. Others will recommend Deep Purple tracks I'd agree with, so I'll recommend that you listen to the original 1970 studio recording for the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar," in which he played the role of Jesus. The singing (and screaming) will make your hair stand on end!

I've never heard this live. It sounds so disconjointed. Listen to the album cut on Machine Head it sounds so much better. I love Blackmore's playing but this is bad. Just not "Smoke on the Water", that was on 3 consecutive albums.

once again not really a commercial for the "Gen Z" and its attention span. When the lead singer explains the song is "Rhythm & Blues" and it´s also written in the fuc.... subtitles it´s clear our talented former Jazz triangle player would ask wich kind on music this could be.... maybe Jazz.🥺 And that level of his " lot of interesting things to say" goes on. I am waiting for the first Gen Z reacter wich doesn´t think "reacting" was the same as "talking".
