How is it possible to be 78 years old and sound this good

[@TheNilo94]

Be an learned singer who takes care of his voice after 50 years of Smoking and drinkin he said

[@ricardoluistomasone4663]

Suenan tan bien porque simplemente es DEEP PURPLE💜💜

[@IMajst3RI]

Some of the old songs do not work for him anymore, but he sounds phenomenal on the newer material

[@frankzimmermann1318]

He‘s 72 but that doesn’t make it less impressive. Saw him live a few weeks ago….Friggin great

[@patwoods3601]

​@@frankzimmermann1318He's 78 and will be 79 in August and he still sounds amazing.

[@dushancaldera2922]

Greatest band on earth

[@MrZappaman420]

top 3 easily

They sound extremely good for guys at their age. They still have a youthfull sound and they are showing absolutely no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Deep Purple rocks.

[@bayoubengal1961]

Still one of the tightest live bands ever

[@annetterandall5956]

Ian sounds great! No problem at all! Excellent!

[@KainosMan]

Ian was phenomenal. Hit all the notes on Into the Fire as well! Best of all: the guys are still having fun on stage and you really feel it. Awesome show.

Great song, the greatest band ever. Age is just a number. I've been to 25 plus purple gigs, and they've always been in top form.

Gillan is fabulous, the band are so great, I love also Paice’s drumming. Gillan and Paice and Glover are legends.

[@aps4264]

I discovered them mostly in 1984…Knocking at your back door…wow. Perfect Strangers for me, is my favorite work they’ve done. I now am 54 and Portable Door is…wow. Ian is a bad ass. They sound so good, the same really.

[@alessiolaplaca7326]

@@aps4264 Absolutely I agree, “perfect stranger” is the best work.. they opened the door for many scene of rock with this album! I would buy a ticket for a concert in Italy this summer.. could be the last!

Outstanding song and incredible performance!

[@ghcooke56]

50 years a fan and they still excite me as a band and a creative force. Great track, brilliantly performed. Just have to pinch myself; so lucky that my all time favourite band are still turning out quality music and performances. Looking forward to Birmingham in November 2024 and another chance to see them live.

[@ninoorjon]

Well, who can say that his voice on the albums is a studio miracle? Bravo.

[@NickAidonidis]

Maybe better from studio

[@Dibbdroid]

Ezrin is adding too many layers on the vocals. This sounds better, even on a crappy phone recording. He was great on the last tour and he'll be great on this one

[@ninoorjon]

@@Dibbdroid I think so too

[@damianomarcocorda4795]

Ian is almost 80 years old. Chapeau. Universe to keep him on rocking. Legend

[@westerling8436]

​@@Dibbdroid my thoughts exactly, would be a great song without the overdubbed vocals during the chorus

Yeah!!! Im there bro. 78 years Ian Gillan..

Isn't he 79? Born in 1945.

[@johnroberthines7811]

Here you go all the Axle rose fans and the band gnr, gillan is nearly 20 years older than that lot and this is how its done. So quit the endless excuses that Axle is old thats a load of crap, he just can't sing now and it's nothing to do with his age.

[@DougieD255]

Love this new song and it sounds great here live. Loving Simon's playing too, it has hints of history, but setting his own style.

[@randallwilliams602]

I have been following this band since 1968! Still alive and well! The best ever!!

Me too❤

After all these years I think deep purple's got another hit. This song rocks if this came out back in the seventies with the original purple it still would have been just as cool unbelievable playing the new guitar player is amazing I love that guy great sound great feel this band has defied time more so than the stones

[@Lego.6012]

Deep Purple is high class rock !!!

[@marcodepetri]

Gillan's voice alone is enough to say that the live versions of the new songs will be better than their studio counterparts. I almost can't stand how heavily the vocals have been processed in the studio. Gillan is still a great singer, at least for the most recent tunes; he also does a decent job on the other classics, if you ask me.

[@toddnorin3843]

Yup new album will be best they’ve done in a while I already can tell. Live no filter you’re 100 percent right

Wow, seems like Ian is having a second youthful ! His singing is much better now than the last recent ones... say 2/3 yrs ago. 👍👍👍

[@KainosMan]

I agree. I think it’s helpful that this show was a ‘one off’ because the Australian dates were cancelled. Imagine at 78 playing shows back to back, it can’t be maintainable for the voice even 30 years younger. I think they should do more of this and less touring to make the most of it but I guess they love it so who can blame them 🤘

[@puppaman]

It`s impressive they still sound enjoyable after all the years. Different but same :)

[@pedrocarvalho1069]

New great tune! Great performance! I hope they will came to Portugal again!

[@michaelkopacz6324]

Damn, Ian Gillian sounds excellent!

Both Ian Gillan and Rob Halford still sound excellent after all those hard rockin decades.🤘🤘

[@simpwood4973]

Just goes to show how good they still are when Ian is in a comfortable register.

[@Dontcareaboutoffending]

Not many bands can recapture and old vibe they had with modern songs. They brought it and showed how you can still sound like you did in the classic Mark II, even without Blackmore, and (RIP) Lord. I heard this and Pictures and was taken back to 8 years old in 1984, Perfect Strangers.

[@G-Man5272]

Thank you Kane Bennett. This was a treat! Like all, or at least most others who've commented here, the Deep Purple sound we all remember so well from the late 60s, early 70s is still present. Yes, I know the wonderfully memorable and distinguished talents of Mr Lord & Mr Blackmore may not be present, but there is a new fresh sound with the sweet deliveries of Don Airey & Simon McBride filling in beautifully. God Bless Gillan, Glover & Paice for keeping the memories real. You all sound GREAT!! Best wishes, and have a fun and fruitful tour. Hope I can see you soon.
