Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water (Live) - First Time Reaction

[@frankpentangeli7945]

That guy on the keyboard was the guy being interviewed many years later, telling the story of Smoke on the Water. Jon Lord, the greatest keyboardist in rock history in my view.

Wow omg that's so cool 😎

[@WillyAffentranger-jb1oi]

That's my favourite band till my death, greetings from ibach-schwyz, switzerland headquarter of victorinox knives. Bye and a nice thursday.

[@jalkabre5904]

All masters at their instruments, amazing music they made with the Mark 2 line up (Mark 3 pretty good as well)

[@AKR8810]

Awesome reaction and I'm glad that Deep Purple is enjoyed on the island. Smoke on The Water has one of the most iconic guitar riffs in rock music, and the lead guitarist Richie Blackmore is considered considered one of the greatest rock guitarists ever. I would recommend reacting to Highway Star, another great one from Deep Purple.

[@erikthompson619]

That's Ritchie, with a t.

Thank you coming very soon

The commentator is the late Jon Lord, Deep Purple's organist / keyboardist.

The fire: On December 4, 1971, a flare gun set fire to the Montreux Casino in Switzerland, where Deep Purple was recording their album Machine Head. The fire was so large that it looked like a fireworks display.Gillan sounds like the G in Gull. 🤣You should have a look at Rick Wakeman .Have a look at Rick Wakeman Solo Medley ~ Yes ~ Live at Montreux [2003] [H I'm a big fan of YES.Richard Christopher Wakeman CBE is an English keyboardist and composer best known as a member of the progressive rock band Yes .Thank you young lady and stay safe.

Now you've gotta check out Highway Star. And you're on your way down the Purple rabbit hole. Peace

[@favouriteislandgirl]

More to come for sure thank you 😊

The gray haired man talking is the keyboard player John Lord ... Check out their song Black Night

[@frankpentangeli7945]

If you prefer this to Child in Time, you'll go crazy over Deep Purple's "Highway Star".

I can't wait

[@ingridgabelo2934]

El gran Jon Lord ( RIP) 😢. GRACIAS POR SEGUIR CON ELLOS!! Mis ídolos de siempre 😊. Es muy amplio su catálogo y cada tema tiene lo suyo. Adoro a Ian Gillan ❤ En "Stange Kind of woman " hay una preciosa batalla entre Ian Gillan y Ritchi Blackmore, guitarrista. De antología!! Abrazos desde Chile, al fin del mundo!!

[@JosephCampos-g9j]

Nobody sounded like this back in 1971

[@ponytrekker8996]

1973.

Exceptional talent

[@pwhudnall]

Thanks for the back story i grew up with this song never knew what it was about

[@favouriteislandgirl]

I am learning as well 😌 ☺️ my pleasure 🙏

[@larteonceagain]

I know it's very common to believe that Ian Gillian was/are the singer in Deep Purple, but nothing ing could be more wrong. The singer is Ian Gillan. I know for a fact that Mr Gillan, is not what you can say in good terms with Mr Gillian :-). But about this video, since this a short concert so Purple performs the edited version of the song ( was too long for American radio ). So you don't hear the third verse. If you want the whole story check the whole lyrics.

[@garyarnett1220]

Totally agree about keyboardist Jon Lord, I could see you were jammin to his blues parts. That was him being interviewed. You follow this path I'll be back.

[@favouriteislandgirl]

Of course more to come . Thank you for letting me know 🙏💕🫠

[@KenMinor-ek1xs]

That is the most recognized guitar riff of all 3

[@TerenceShortman]

Jhon Lord one of the great keyboard players of this era along with Rick Wakeman (YES), Keith Emerson (ELP), Tony Banks (Genesis) Robert Fripp (King Crimson) and Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)

[@favouriteislandgirl]

Lol thank you 😊 we sure do 🇹🇹 💕🫠

[@areyouexp4]

they were in switzerland recording the new album and decided to take a break and go see a frank zappa concert at the casino and during franks concert some fan fired off a flare gun and consequently the casino burnt to the ground and deep purple retired back to the hotel and could see the casino burning beside the water - ritchie blackmore has admitted now that smoke on the water is betheevon 5th backwards = i recommend my favourite deep purple song = lazy - i see it as the music waking up because its lazy ...

[@jamesmcclain5005]

Highway Star is their BEST if you ask me. This is the second best, but that's just my opinion.

[@favouriteislandgirl]

I have to check out this one for sure

[@jamesmcclain5005]

@@favouriteislandgirl The version from the album Made in Japan is the best live version.

[@erikthompson619]

Truncated version, this. The whole third verse is missing.

Omg 😲
