As this was a recoding for the TV, the audience was forced to stay calm, not to clap, not to make any noises, don't sing along or to move, etc. At least my mom told me so, as she was in the audience back then ... :) Thanks for your reaction!

[@larsrons7937]

@@greenbluemonkey You could very well be right. All I know are rumours which can be hard to verify. But did you notice something else about the audience? In the middle of the front row were about 4 people in quite colourful clothes. Most of the rest were dressed in black, or dark. Were they arranged like this on purpose? The first time I saw the footage I immediately thought of the cover of the _"Sgt. Pepper" album._

A legendary rock band. About the audience, this wasn't a concert, it was a performance on a short-lived British TV show called "Doing Their Thing" so the studio audience couldn't behave like a concert audience even if they wanted to. I'm sure some were there just to see a TV music show not matter who was performing. Keep up the great reactions!

[@DGSPhoto]

Not sure which was more intense - the song, or your reaction! Brilliantly done and so well interpreted! I think you were spot on with the chaos of war and then it all repeats itself, but can also be applied in so many different ways! I love the way these musicians, in particular the guitarist, tell a story with their solos - it makes the listening so much more interesting - especially if you've been doing so for over 50 years! The "Purple" rabbit hole is so vast, but you won't be disappointed with any of it! One of the finest examples of that story-telling though, comes from the guitarists next band, Rainbow - and in particular "Stargazer" which is absolutely epic! To understand everything I would strongly recommend you study the lyrics first! Keep 'em coming and well done once again!

Hi lovely Jenna, Now we are back to one of my first band experiences back in the early 70's. Deep Purple along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin was the first hard rock bands I came in contact with. This song was one of the greatest masterpieces written in rock during the 70's along with Led Zeppelin's "Stairways to heaven". When this lineup of Deep Purple was reunited again in 1985 and I got to see them in 1986 and Ian Gillan still pulled of this song so perfectly, I found my jaw in my knee... 😁😊😋 I just love this song and this old performance. See yaa on Twitch.....

Music in the 70's was just the best!

[@sumonjamal1653]

Deep Purple were always a band comprised of phenomenal musicians... they started out as a British pop rock band in 1968 and scored hits in America like 'Hush' ... 'Kentucky woman'... In 1969, their mercurial guitarist Ritchie Blackmore wanted a change after hearing the new 'heavy rock' sound by Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin... Deep Purple replaced original singer Rod Evans w/ vocalist Ian Gillan... original bassist Nick Simper w/ Roger Glover (bass) and also were the first rock band to record a 'Concerto' album w/ a full classical orchestra. This line-up of Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Jon Lord (keyboards) and Ian Paice (drums) made history in 1970 w/ their 5th album 'In rock'... this was filmed in a TV studio as Deep Purple were promoting their first 'heavy rock' album and few had heard music that was this loud and powerful... Deep Purple pushed the limits of heavy rock in the 70's - like Led Zeppelin, they didn't want to keep 1 sound and wrote diverse songs w/ the albums 'Fireball' (1971)... 'Machine head' (1972)... 'Who do we think we are' (1973)... And it was their 1972 live album 'Made in Japan' that gave Deep Purple a huge hit and the band soon had 5 records on the US charts. Some of Deep Purple's iconic songs were recorded in this time: 'Smoke on the water'... 'Highway star' ... 'Speed king' ... 'Fireball' ... 'Woman from Tokyo'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥 However, both Ian Gillan & Roger Glover were out of Deep Purple in 1973 after guitarist Ritchie Blackmore made some demand for him to stay in the band... In 1974, Deep Purple hired Glenn Hughes (bass + vocals) and David Coverdale (lead vocals) and released 'Burn'... It made Deep Purple a massive band that year... Unfortunately, Ritchie Blackmore did not like the musical direction on the next album 'Stormbringer' that year and quit Deep Purple in 1975 to form his own band Rainbow. This line-up w/ Coverdale & Hughes scored some major singles - 'Burn'... 'Soldier of fortune'... 'Stormbringer' ...'Mistreated'... Deep Purple hired former James Gang guitarist Tommy Bolin in '75 and released 'Come taste the band'... but fans were not interested in the band without Ritchie Blackmore... After a difficult tour marred by mishaps and drug problems, Deep Purple split up in 1976. Tommy Bolin passed away that year from a drug OD... In 1984, the classic 5 members of Deep Purple (Blackmore/ Gillan/ Glover/ Lord/ Paice) reunited and released their comeback album 'Perfect strangers'... But conflicts between Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore resurfaced after the 1987 album 'House of blue light'... Ian Gillan was fired in 1989 and replaced by Joe Lynn Turner (former singer of Blackmore's band Rainbow) for 1 album 'Slaves and masters' in 1990. Deep Purple wanted Ian Gillan back on vocals for the band's 25th anniversary album & tour... Ritchie Blackmore opposed it but gave in and recorded 'The Battle rages on' in 1993 w/ Ian Gillan... Frustrated, Ritchie Blackmore quit the band in '93 in the middle of the tour. Deep Purple decided to carry on in 1994 w/ former Kansas guitarist Steve Morse joining... They enjoyed a stable recording and touring era w/ Morse in the band, releasing 'Purpendicular' in 1996 and 'Abandon' in 1998... By 2002, founding keyboardist Jon Lord amicably left the band to focus on classical music projects... He was replaced by Don Airey (keyboards)... Sadly, Jon Lord passed away from cancer in 2012. Ian Gillan had said that Deep Purple had enjoyed the years w/ Steve Morse on guitar because Ritchie Blackmore was an unpredictable character on and off stage... They also recorded and toured successfully and announced plans to close out their career after 2017. Some of their newer songs - 'Vincent Price' ... 'Sometimes I feel like screaming' ... 'Rapture of the deep' ... 'The surprising' ... 'Throw my bones' In 2022, guitarist Steve Morse left Deep Purple to care for his wife who had been afflicted w/ cancer... He was replaced by Simon McBride (guitar) on tour and Deep Purple has announced plans to record a new album.

Brilliant reaction! Thanks. As one of my favorite bands of all time but especially from late 60s through the early 70s, I was fortunate enough to see them live in Frankfurt, Germany, in either '73 or'74. I can't remember, I saw so many great concerts back then. After all, it was 50 years ago.

[@larsrons7937]

The first time I heard Deep Purple was on 21st april 1968. _"Roundabouts"_ played a gig at "Parkskolen" school close to our home in Taastrup, Denmark. When on stage they announced they had just decided to change their name to _"Deep Purple"._ This was the very first _"Deep Purple"_ concert. This was just before I was born, but as the band played very loud I am sure I would have heard, or sensed, the music. A few months later we (now I was born) visited my grand parents in another Danish town, "Ballerup". This evening another British band, _"the New Yardbirds",_ was playing a few houses away. Later summer, it would have been warm and windows open, so little me have heard this loud gig too. The band entered stage with a brand new name: _"Led Zeppelin"._ When I discovered these two lucky instances I stopped wondering why I am so fond of rock music.

[@goopah]

Back in the day, the TV studio people didn't want to deal with the noise of a cheering crowd in addition to trying to balance the sound levels of each instrument of the band. So they told the audience to behave and be quiet. But still, if I were there, I would have one hell of a hard time to not allow my emotions to show during that killer performance. But this audience in particular looked as if they were all given heavy-duty tranquilizers before the show. It's almost as if they are on another planet, or plane of existence. It's comical, and yet I'm so happy that we have this remarkably high-quality live recording of this band at their peak, really firing on all cylinders here. And to you, thanks for your honest reaction. This was so much fun.

Very true, Sir. Lyrics matter. I've often heard, and pretty much believe, that the difference between metal and hard rock is lyrical content. Sex, drugs, partying as the subjects equal hard rock, Social issues, Introspection, life's meaning, etc. equal metal. Not accurate 100% of the time but it's a pretty good indicator.

Nowadays the audience would be headbanging. My favorite song by Deep Purple, but different from the studio version. Did see them live last year but they sadly did not do this song. Thanks for this reaction.

[@OlivierFfrench]

The audience in this clip were actually stuffed people randomly placed in the studio. There is no other explanation to their lack of reaction to these two crescendos. Also, each time I watch this clip, I notice that this "live" version is quite different from the studio one.

that "organ like thing" is a Hammond organ, used a lot in the 70's from some rock bands and Deep Purple was one of them, now i worth a lot (at least in Italy) and you can't easily find one.

[@TheDesertwalker]

I think it is a B3....and you are right. If you find one, BUY IT! Rebuild it if you have to.

[@williamsporing1500]

I’m so glad I grew up in this time…..

[@markholmes8803]

this is y i love the 70,s.

[@Robert-yk3wp]

I was Marine in 70s love this understand was in Japan being polite is most important

I'm sure other people have commented already but the reason the audience were so chilled is the performance was being filmed in a tv studio and the producer of the tv show would have asked the audience to keep from reacting until the end of the band's performance. In a normal concert things would have been quite different. 😊

A beautifull blending of insanity 😂😂❤

[@libertylion6088]

Bad Co. opening for Deep Purple was my very first concert. It was epic!

[@EddoLand]

How could one band have that many world class musicians in it, amazing. What's also amazing is that she's never heard of them lol.

[@KoalityReactions]

I have heard of them! In my intro I said I didn’t think I’d heard anything by them… (But that wasn’t true anyway, I’ve heard Smoke on the Water.)

1970 i was 3 years old ,but my start as a Metalhead was 1980 , today with over 56 years and still long hair is that the same strong love to Heavy Metal Music , i want to sing like Ian , as a Singer or like Bruce from Iron Maiden

[@bookhouseboy280]

Progressive rock giants who made hard rock a fine art and unleashed some of the greatest guitar riffs known to the world, England's Deep Purple are bona fide classic rock royalty. Deep Purple's soon to be classic Mark II version made its proper debut and established the sonic blueprint that would immortalize this lineup of the band on 1970's awesome In Rock ... the subsequent non-LP single "Black Night" falling just shy of topping the U.K. pop charts. Released in 1971, Fireball was also a smash, scoring a hit with "Strange Kind of Woman." Machine Head, one of the essential hard rock albums of all time, contains the "mother of all guitar riffs" -- and one of the first learned by every beginning guitarist -- in "Smoke on the Water." The song positioned Deep Purple among rock's elite; the band consolidated its status with the 1973 studio follow-up Who Do We Think We Are and the hit "Woman from Tokyo." - Edited excerpts from AllMusic

I loved your reaction! Thanks! Rock on. Just subscribed.

[@paulkiss1981]

An immortal piece.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

There is other footage of them playing in an actual rock venue and it's totally different with the audience. This was a very special situation where they were recording it, and this probably wasn't much overlapping with the kids that were actually going to see Deep Purple live in concert. For more Jon Lord on Hammond organ, check out another hit of theirs, Lazy. To hear how much this band could truly rock, check out their mega hit Highway Star from their iconic Machine Head album, definitely the studio track for a first listen. I'm positive you will be blown away. I really like your thoughtful and excellent insights, and I also love the discussion about it transcending just a specific war or even the concept of War itself, it can apply to so many things. Sadly, in recent years, the first thing that leaps into my mind are all the school shootings and the fact that we now have to train little kids at school, and adults in their work places and so forth. And you can really hear the pain in Ian's voice when he starts wailing.

The audience probably wanted to get more crazy but they were told not to make noise. They wanted a clean recording with no bleed from the audience. Deep Purple filled arenas full of screaming people. One of their most popular songs was Smoke on the Water. You should check that one out. I always liked this band. This was recorded when I was a senior in high school!

[@tedburnard841]

So glad you have discovered my fave group from my early twenties. There is so much more to savour, Strange kind of woman, Space Truckin, Perfect strangers, Smoke on the Water (you may have heard the riff, it is famous), Black Night, Burn, etc etc. Lead guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, formed Rainbow after DP broke up in 1975. Their Rising album is unbelievably good, especially Stargazer and its follow up/sequel A Light in the Black. You also simply must do some Boston too! More than a Feeling is a great starter then do Foreplay/Long time. Their debut, self titled album is all good. There simply isn’t a bad song or filer on it. I’m 70 now and love my hard rock and heavy metal! LOUD!

About the non-reacting studio audience: This performance, of course, was videotape recorded in a studio intended for television broadcast. TV production at this level of quality, in 1970, took time to get everything adjusted (lighting, staging and sound), then going through several "takes" in the event of a problem, or to get a "perfect" take. Studio audiences were often merely set pieces, sometimes paid, sometimes just a pool of people willing to be part of a TV studio recording, regardless what was being recorded. These people were likely not fans of the band, maybe not even fans of music. So knowing the time often involved, that audience may have already sat through hours of takes, or even several other acts - jugglers, plate spinners, dog tricks, whatever - before Deep Purple. Also, this sort of music, the early heavy rock scene, wasn't very common. Given the volume of the performance in that studio, it is also possible they were stunned, overwhelmed, not sure how to react.

[@SkiGolfer]

I got to see Deep Purple back in the summer of 1972 in Atlanta, GA (Municipal Auditorium) two nights in a row and Fleetwood Mac was the opening act. I think it was only the second, maybe third tour of North America for them. Saw them again in Cleveland, OH in 1973 and Billy Preston and the Amboy Dukes opened for them and saw them again that summer in Atlanta (Omni) with ZZ Top as the opening act. The last time I saw them live was in Atlanta in 1976 and I'm pretty sure Nazareth was the opener. Of course it was a long time ago and lots of "experiencing the times" was going on, but I remember the concerts well and seeing them live was amazing.

[@petejones879]

Now you are listening to real music girl by Real musicians.. I can't think of any modern day band that has this much talent and quality of sound

[@staffanhesselback9653]

Great group, saw them in 1985 in Stockholm. Great concert. It was this line up as on this video and of course they played this song ❤ so good

[@wanrelief]

Buongiorno. Se per noi sessantenni i DP sono parte della propria vita, dobbiamo anche accettare che ora ci sia qualcuno che non li conosce... Proprio oggi in ufficio ho acceso questa canzone ed i ragazzi , venticinquenni più o meno, sono rimasti TUTTI colpiti e affondati dalla gragnuola di note sgorgate da quel fantastico ensamble.... RISPETTO E VENERAZIONE 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@dancan6622]

Love that you actually get it. Most dont. I am impressed and subscribed dont make me regret this

[@4rings5cylinder6gear]

you were feeling it and your face was showing ... great reaction

[@dougrogers835]

What people don't understand is back in the day bands like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, scared the crap out of the audience early on. A couple years later they were dancing in the streets to this music.

[@markdownen4109]

Really like your thoughts on this. I think even the audience is part of the performance, conveying the indifference of the masses to the specter of war.

[@giorgiiosava5620]

How many lucky people are there in the world who have not yet heard great music🤘✌️👋
