FIRST TIME HEARING DEEP PURPLE - HIGHWAY STAR

[@BlackiePawless]

"Child In Time" live in 1970. His vocal will rearrange your molecular structure.

[@Andy-dz7us]

Gillan had a five octave range.

[@charleslatora5750]

Yes. Yes it will.

[@drewb6251]

Well spoken! Such an awesome tune, and incredible vocal display.... mind blowing.

[@Yngwulff]

Definitely do Child in Time

[@peterlevenswaard4531]

Ian Gillan Ritchie Blackmore Roger Glover Jon Lord Ian Paice that's DEEP PURPLE You need to listen to Child in time.Amazing song!!!

[@jeromemilne561]

Live version of child in time

[@dhaosandy]

@@jeromemilne561 Studio version (from In Rock) really shows off his voice might be better

[@ponytrekker9315]

From made in Japan

[@frankmccollum1443]

Thanks Pete. I knew Roger, Ritchie and Jon but couldnt remember the other two.. The whole band kicked ass!! The drummer, holy crap..! Amazing. All was amazing.

[@God-ck5yo]

This line-up of Purple is one of very few bands in rock history where every single member was an absolute master of their instrument (I include Ians voice in that). True legends. I still miss the true gentleman and genius - RIP Jon. I met Jon during the Whitesnake years and he really could give Dave Grohl a run for the title of "Nicest Man in Rock 'n' Roll".

[@jamaljasim9735]

An extraordinary band, extraordinary vocals, guitar, keyboard and drums 😍

[@alansmith7626]

if you think it is freaky to you, first time we heard it when it was new, we all freaked! I Love some Deep Purple

[@tlinmer]

The band was on a road tour with a music reporter, when that reporter asked the band how hard / easy was it for them to come up with song's? The responded by making "Highway Star" with in 20minutes (which was about a car and the lead singer liked to drive fast) and by that night at a live show, they released their new creation...that song became one their trade mark song's among many others. Deep Purple is one the most influential bands in the history of rock-n-roll.

[@ВеликВладетел-т5д]

Uniqe rock and roll band...

[@GuitarRock86]

Smoke on the water, Lazy, When a blind man cries, Child in time, Strange kind of woman and much more hahahah

[@FilPol-yu1es]

In his Prime...Ian Gillan was on the Next Level.💯

[@lowrider4266]

Heck yeah this will be awesome. This song is so killer live. Thanks.

[@johnlucius1665]

That's the 70's Baby!!!!, glad to see the Youngsters Catching Up. LOL, Great Reaction.

[@GuitarRock86]

You MUST listen "MADE IN JAPAN" of this band. Before u die, best live band EVER.

[@oakleysmithmusic]

They dont make music like this anymore, I miss the old days of rock and Motown

[@johnperkins5467]

Best rock band and vocalist of all time without any doubt.

[@williamthelast1]

I agree with best hard rock band !!! Way far beyond Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath !!

[@jodyrolandconstruction6577]

Deep Purple “Hush” and “Space Truckin”

[@rrrraaaacccc80]

A great rock song...

[@MrMoon1953]

Not to be redundant, but Child in Time really needs to be on you "to do" list.

[@denniswatson455]

I attribute my tinnitus in part to Deep Purple....LOVED these guys and especially this classic line up. Thanks for reviewing this!!

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Early Deep Purple = The birth of heavy metal. There had been bands before that that were producing a heavy metal-like sound, but this is the real start of it, and it's still only rarely been equalled. "Child in time", "Space truckin'", "Woman from Tokyo", and of course, with the most famous riff in rock music, "Smoke on the water".

[@beekay5914]

I liked a lot of their songs, but never bought their albums. More of a Zeppelin fan. BUT, Ian Gillan was the best singer in all of rock and roll.

[@brianfisher6165]

"Child in Time" live 1970 Will blow your mind!!!👍✌😀

[@tatethompson1234]

One of the best driving songs, Ritchie Blackmore was a genius on guitar, keep enjoying them two y’s and thick thighs :)

[@timlamb6196]

Ian Gillian was one of THE best vocalist in rock, Blackmore t5he same when it comes to guitar, and Jon Lord the best keyboardist in rock history. Just them 3 you had an all star band. Them along with Sabbath and Zeppelin were cutting edge bands and helped shape what eventually would be called heavy metal.

[@spookthephantom]

Aaaaand on the geetar....MR. RITCHIE. BLACKMORE.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

He was shredding it! Mind you there were all the top of their game - that Jon Lord solo is pretty damn special too...

[@williamallen3715]

Jayy. He plays Jesus in Jesus Christ superstar. 1970.. the brown album. Amazing. Great reaction as usual.

[@leeperola7023]

Best ever driving tune. May I say you are fine!🤗🇬🇧

[@markkasick]

The audio is from the iconic live album, "Made in Japan" . The video is from live in Copenhagen (I think).

[@loadedorygun]

That’s the original Jesus Christ Superstar, baby! Ian Gillian can BRING IT. Best DP vocalist by far. Check out Lazy if you like their jamz

[@Dodger0103]

This bands music is still enormous in Japan. There are many cover versions by , wait for it Senior High School Bands, which will amaze you. Just go on KZbin and search Japanese High School Band and Deep Purple. They do Smoke on the water followed by Highway Star. You will not believe what you will hear. Enjoy 😉

[@ryanjsgrandma2009]

Ian was ADORABLE! Child in time is a must, his vocals in that one is something you’ve never heard before! Thank you peace ✌️

[@timlamb9428]

An all star line up almost. Ian Gillian is an underrated and one of tocks best vocalist ever, Ritchie Blackmore is one of rocks best guitarist ever, and Jon Lord is THE best keyboardist in rock ever.

[@godsnobody2915]

Always love watching someone experience the Mighty Purp for the first time! ❤

[@creepyaxe]

The song is about the excess of being a rock star and he loves it

[@tamsencataneda3278]

Hey Jaye they were the BOMB at California Jam!!! This is old biker music we still love it!!! Love you Tamsen in Riverside Ca.....

[@GoldTop57]

One of the first examples, maybe the first, of a trashy, speed metal style guitar solo. Legendary

[@fadiaz1969]

Best version of deep purple. And yes, like everyone else is requesting, please, please do Child in Time. If you think his vocals is good here, his vocals in Child in Time is just out of this world.

[@angeleslopezdefez8370]

!!Esto es musicaaaa!!

[@killiansred1000]

This was at a time when you could do it live or get off the stage. No electronic embellishments, just straightforward rock.

[@someoneelse101]

And you couldn't mic the amps since the sound desk wasn't powerful enough. That's why they had so many

[@perrymac]

Great live version! Typical 70's camera work; keep the camera on the singer, while Ritchie is peeling the paint off the walls.

[@2007Tarkus]

Brilliant fantastic version now do Lazy, it will blow your socks off

[@palantir135]

Listen to child in time. Smoke on the water. Black night.

[@decoydave]

Been waiting along time for Deep Purple, and finally! Thanks Jayy it was worth the wait. Welcome to the 3rd band classed as a pioneer of rock and heavy metal, them along with Led Zep and Black Sabbath. Ian Gillan-vocals Ritchie Blackmore-guitar Roger Glover-bass Jon Lord (RIP)-organ and Ian Paice on drums. This video is from live in Denmark 1971 I think, anyway you have to check their songs Child In Time and Space Trucking.

[@cabdriveruk]

This song was born on a tour bus going to Portsmouth UK in 1971, when a reporter asked the band how they wrote songs. To demonstrate, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed an acoustic guitar and began playing a riff consisting of a single g repeated over and over, while vocalist Ian Gillan improvised lyrics over the top. the song was refined and was performed that same night.

[@josephlevy2258]

i love our comment !!!! its as awesome as the song

[@jamesbondbond8388]

I love Deep Purple since 1973

[@Rockford03]

That was LIVE NO FKN AUTO TUNE OR COMPUTERS ALL TALENT & SKILL🤘🤘🤘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@captpicard6894]

You NEED to listen to Child in time from 1970. You will be blown away and never recover😁😁

[@alexfletcher5192]

Ian Gillan discovered in the 1960s that he could scream full voice on Top 'a' and after that became the obvious choice for Deep Purple's 2nd line up in 1969. Slightly diminished by age, he can still approximate that scream today. Some of us can just about do it in the shower...

[@PurpleHounding]

WORD

[@adriankucinski481]

Child in time. And, when a blind man cries.

[@ZalMoxis]

Check in on the studio versions too... these guys were grounding breaking back in the day

[@davescurry69]

What an awesome band. Never been a band blessed with so much talent. "Child In Time", "Black Night", "Space Truckin'", "No No No", "Smoke On The Water"...

[@wildyard5290]

"Lazy" is really good too. Love that one.

[@Dooklawz]

This tune is indeed the soundtrack to many a speeding ticket my dear 😜

[@garyletcher9703]

Saw them live back in the day. Those were the days. Freedom and Peace. Yes you've gotta do "Child In Time" from the Made In Japan Album...Live.

[@thomassicard3733]

Deep Purple - Highway Star from their Machine Head album - a GREAT album. Ian Gillan - voices Ritchie Blackmore - electric guitar Roger Glover - bass Jon Lord - organ Ian Paice - drums

[@BigC.]

Makes any car you are driving at least seem faster...

[@pauledwardconlon662]

As a few guys said in the comments you gotta check out Deep Purple's song Child in Time.One of my favourites from that band.I get a bit surprised when you young folks take a liking to this sort of stuff.Older music.This is what I listened to when I was a teenager and here and there across the years.I'm guessing that the vocalist-Ian Gillan-listened to a lot of black singers from the USA and that's partly affected his vocal style.A bunch of hugely talented bunch of musicians.I think it was partly them that inspired me to learn to play the guitar.Good show young lady.Thanks.

[@jackwebster1531]

Just a suggestion you might try, mistreated they played at the Ontario Motor Speedway in 1974 in California with a crowd of over 400,000 people. It was the first live broadcast of a rock concert on TV ABC carried it.

[@americanmutt9089]

Check out Knockin' At Your Backdoor by these guys.

[@peterquinones3522]

The cameraman who made this video is a shmuck .The camera wasn't on Blackmore at all during his solo LOL!!! Nice reaction though baby!!

[@roberthammett4786]

Child in Time,enough said

[@clivegrant4225]

I would have gone with the studio version first.

[@chadwhitfield6946]

Gotta get that scream intro.

[@dariofernando5572]

yep

[@Rockford03]

So thankful i was a 70s teenager Such great music👍🤘🤘🤘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@bluenosetam]

You have got to do smoke on the water.from made in Japan live album

[@jeromedavies2408]

I was lucky enough to see this line up live in 1984/5 when they had a reunion. Fantastic gig.

[@donnieyoung7231]

Smoke On The Water.

[@paulmahon1613]

Oh, and this video had the worst camera work ever lol.

[@robertbernstein3713]

I was lucky enough to see them live in Atlantic City between ten and fifteen years ago. They were old men by then but they still rocked. Great driving tune, always gets me a speeding ticket.

[@827dusty]

Such a great Band. Started in 1967, and just played some of the best music ever written. These guys are in their mid 70s by now, and a couple of them have passed on. Thanks for the music you gave us all of those years.

[@ponytrekker9315]

2020 lineup is..Ian Gillan Steve Morse - roger Glover-don airy & the great Ian paice.

[@ronnienose8608]

Started in 1968

[@smn1085]

yeah that's a banger. heavy metal in it's "primitive" form

[@Ozzpot]

It was around this time (1972) that Deep Purple entered the Guinness Book of Records as the loudest band in the world after a concert at London's Rainbow Theatre which was so loud that three members of the audience were knocked unconscious.

[@michaelhandy9758]

Check out "Hush" by Deep Purple, one of my favorites.

[@jeanday9747]

I was 18 when I saw them in concert which is an experience I'll never forget. Love this band.

[@andrewmundenandcadfellmast4624]

Gotta agree with the others - Child in Time and Lazy from the same live album, really showcase Gillans incredible vocals

[@rogermoore9477]

Deep purple made in Japan is the best of what they have to offer on record yes,hi jayy

[@capcolombie3834]

The opening track from the GREATEST live album ever made. I saw them in the UK on this tour and they were to put it simply FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!

[@janzimny1977]

You’ve Gotta Listen To The Whole Album (machine head) by Deep Purple! Hot Hot!

[@alexfletcher5192]

The comparison between women and cars can be heard on Led Zeppelin's 'Trampled Underfoot' and as far back as Robert Johnson's 'Terraplane Blues' in the 1930s.

[@СергейПавлов-е4э]

"Speed king" next please)))

[@dennislinehan6548]

This song was written during an interview to answer the reporter on how they wrote music . Played it for the first time that night .

[@lukagovorcin3610]

AND MUSIC FANTASTIC 😊 THAT IS PURE FANTASTIC HARD ROCK!!

[@Distant394]

How I spent my youth listening to this band loved it

[@bobschenkel7921]

Richie Blackmore - Guitar, Roger Glover - Bass, Ian Gillan - Vocals, Ian Paice - Drums and Jon Lord (RIP) - Organ, Deep Purple Mark II, the ONLY Deep Purple that matters. If you really want to hear Ian Gillan do some work, he does the Jesus vocals on the original soundtrack of Jesus Christ Superstar, back in the early 1970's. Not as a promotion of religion, just a testament to Ian Gillan's talent.

[@kathleenarchacki7875]

I remember driving around in my boyfriends 1957 Chev that his grandma gave him blasting this song

[@marybreiner5]

I love that you reacted to Deep Purple! That's what I grew up on!🤩🤩🤩

[@jameshoffman552]

Deep purple anticipated the Tesla model Y by a good 20 years. Now I’ve got those fat tires and everything I’m as good as Deep Purple was in the 1960s.

[@usctrojans001]

I can hear some U2, AC/DC and Van Halen in There as Influenced by Deep Purple. Saw them back in the 80's Awesome Live Performance.

[@garyphillips3926]

Back in the day, I actually cut class in High school and drove to Rainbow Tickets on Lovers Lane in Dallas Texas and bought as many tickets as I could.(they were 10 dollars) The concert sold out. I actually scalped tickets in the parking lot. One of my favorite concerts and memories from my teens. My favorite song has to be "Smoke on the Water." I love a lot of their stuff. Thank you so much for taking me back to that time. ❤ 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✌

[@cuthalin4976]

Very simply, on a coach to a gig, a journalist asked Ian Gillan how they wrote songs, Ian was looking out the window at the traffic, Richie Blackmore the guitarist started strumming this opening riff out. Gillan started singing about what he was watching. At the show that evening they debuted this song ! One of the Unholy Trinity of Hard Rock, with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, they laid the foundations for most future rock music.

[@Yngwulff]

Ian Gillan best rock vocalist .... Robert Plant is a close close second BTW //// PS David Copydale is a pretender

[@janinebedfordl]

Echo everybody directing you towards "Child in Time". Gillan's voice is classic hard-rock overlapping with the musical theatre (he sings as Jesus on the original Jesus Christ Superstar) rather like say Chris Cornell - power and expression overlaid with classical elements

[@Xan1958]

Ian Gillian was the voice of Jesus on the record "Jesus Christ Superstar" (brown album).

[@mikedown3219]

There was no video for this recording, the images were later synced from another concert in Copenhagen the same year so, sound from Tokyo, images from Copenhagen. Really good job of syncing no doubt made easier by the metronome on the drums, otherwise known as Ian Paice, one of the greatest rock drummers ever.

[@johnnyrehder2153]

The other version is a bit better IMHO. Still one of my favorite. I named by motorcycle Highway Star.

[@peterblood50]

Now you should do another great driving song...."Flirtin' With Disaster" by Molly Hatchet

[@Richard_Jones]

I don'tknow if this has ever been said but Ian Gillan is the Heavy Rock James Brown.

[@paulmahon1613]

My Junior and Senior year in high school I drove a 69 Z28 that I named Highway Star.

[@frankmccollum1443]

Holy Fuck!!! I love this one.. Damn!!! Thank you, Wow..

[@vietnamerapatriot2683]

Best version "Highway Star" Made in Japan album.

[@alexfletcher5192]

Britain's second biggest touring rock band after Led Zeppelin, the Purps ability to lay it down sometimes appears telepathic. Still around in one form today (with three members of this line-up still in the band!) they were troubled by personnel problems in their 1970s heyday. At their best they were unbeatable.

[@davidclarke7122]

This song has probably been the cause of more speeding tickets than any other rock song!! 😂
